I recently attended the eWomenNetwork Conference in Dallas.  OMG!  It was so amazing.  I am very FIRED-UP after attending the conference.

I had  many take-aways from the conference.  Here are a few:

• surround yourself with like-minded people and the energy abounds…this can be either positive or negative.  The entire hotel was vibrating from all of the positive energy.  I’m sure all of Dallas could feel it.  In fact, the entire world probably felt it!
• dream and dream BIG…NO MATTER WHAT (this was from the fabulous Lisa Nichols Living a Life That Says No Matter What!
• each and every one of us can have our dream come true….I watched a fellow eWomenNetwork member perform as a comedian this weekend and the tears flow down her face when the entire room gave her a standing ovation.  After 22 years, her dream has finally come true.
• give to others and you shall receive….I saw this over and over again this weekend.  It confirms for me that when we give, we receive.
• stand in your YOUnique gifts…..in a room with thousands, no two women were alike.  Each woman had a special look, a special talk, a special walk, a special message, a special gift.
• continue to grow, learn and stretch even if there is fear….it was so inspiring to see so many successful and powerful women who have walked through fears and grown because of it.
• work hard and play hard….yes, we learned and took in lots of information AND we also played and had lots of fun.  The days were filled with keynote speakers, breakout sessions, wisdom circles and networking.  The evenings were filled with awards and celebration, shopping and makeovers at Nordstrom, chocolate decadence and dancing.
• invest in yourself…..if you want to grow and learn then you need to invest in making that happen.  This might mean stretching yourself and spending money on something that will help you grow and learn.
• set intentions…..before you attend an event or a meeting, go to a conference or go on a vacation, decide how you want it to be, what you want the outcome to be, or how you “see” it going.  It makes such a difference in how it will go.  Your intention will determine the outcome.
• get fired-up…..take your life or your business to the next level.  Find out what gets you excited and do more of it.  Keep taking steps to make your heart sing.

Ask yourself these questions:

1. With what kind of people do I surround myself?  Are they positive or negative?
2. Am I dreaming BIG?  What is my dream if I really do dream BIG?
3. Do I really believe that my dream can come true?  If I could have anything, what would it be?
4. Am I giving to others in order to receive? Is there someone to whom I can give?
5. Am I standing in my YOUnique gifts?  Do I really know what they are?
6. Am I growing, learning and stretching?  Is fear getting in my way?
7. Do I work and play hard or do I just work?  Do I need to add more play to my life?
8. Am I investing in myself?  What would a good investment in myself be?
9. Do I set intentions?  Does my projection of how the event will go determine how it does go?
10. Am I fired-up about my life?  What do I need to do to get “fired-up”?

Which one of these questions resonates with you the most?  Start with that question and answer it.  Don’t censor your writing, just let it flow.  After writing, ask yourself….”What did I learn?  What did I discover?  Where can I grow?  Lastly, take one action step to help you grow in that one area. 

Here’s my wish for you….That you will….DREAM BIG, GO FOR IT, GIVE TO OTHERS, STAND IN YOUR YOUNIQUENESS, GROW, LEARN, STRETCH, WORK HARD, PLAY HARD, INVEST IN YOURSELF AND SET INTENTIONS!!!  My wish for you is that you will be “FIRED-UP.”

“I had always wanted an adventurous life.  It took a long time to realize that I was the only one who was going to make an adventurous life happen to me.”           Richard Bach

 What was your biggest take-away from the last conference you attended?

 What are you fired-up about?

 I would love to hear from you.  Let’s get lots of positive energy flowing!

Please add a comment which shares your “fired-up” story.  I will be collecting stories from everyone and collecting them so that they can be shared.  Let’s have some fun by sharing our excitement and sparking others to get fired-up too!
