Master Coach Jeanna Gabelini<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lisa<\/strong>:\u00a0 Welcome! This is Lisa Tener and I am so excited to have with me Jeanna Gabellini who is going to teach us about tapping into divine guidance for book writing, publishing, and a selling experience that is fun and massively profitable.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: We\u2019re going to have fun.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>:\u00a0 I always tell authors, \u201cIf you\u2019re having fun, your readers are having fun. And if you\u2019re not, they\u2019re probably not.\u201d \u00a0Let me share a few words about Jeanna:<\/p>\n

Jeanna is a master business coach who assists high-achieving entrepreneurs and their teams to double and even triple their profits by leveraging intention systems and \u2013 the magic word, fun! Since 1996, Jeanna Gabellini has delivered coaching and seminars that marry vision, divine guidance, and proven strategies so you can ditch the mental merry-go-round and overwhelms and say, \u201cOh, yes, the fun, peace, and increased profits!\u201d Jeanna is the co-author of Life Lessons for Mastering the Law of Attraction <\/i>with Eva Gregory, Mark Victor Hansen, and Jack Canfield.<\/p>\n

\"lawLisa<\/strong>: You know, I do some work with the idea of Attraction and how to create what we truly want in our lives, and I\u2019m excited to talk with you specifically about how we can do that more with our writing, with our creativity, and even with the platform building, publishing, business-building pieces, and for readers, you know, these pieces are important because if you want to reach people with your book, you do need to have some kind of business platform.<\/p>\n

Can you tell us in your words, what is the Law of Attraction?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Whatever you focus on and the emotion behind it, whatever is triggered most\u2014whether joy or whether fear\u2014that is what you are going to attract to you. It\u2019s not only what you focus on but how you feel about it; and not only how you feel about the things you want to manifest, but it\u2019s about how you go through life. The brilliance of Law of Attraction is you can stop working hard on achieving goals and you can start flowing toward the goal.<\/p>\n

Part of that is in everyday experience noticing how you are feeling. If we just walked around doing what we truly wanted to do on a daily basis, we would manifest everything we wanted without necessarily having the hard core focus on it. I was the woman who put hard core focus and I worked myself to death to make sure I got what I wanted. I always did; but, you know, it was a lot of work and a lot of stress from Point A to Point B.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: \u00a0I had a few lessons this week. One lesson was about that sort of controlling and looking to the outer world first to make things happen. I was reminded to start from that inner place. And then I had another interesting lesson that ties into what you\u2019re saying about just feeling the feelings more. I\u2019m starting to be present a little more with my feelings, and it\u2019s been powerful to just see how I can move through them instead of going through the day keeping feelings at bay. It\u2019s a lot harder to attract from that place of holding feelings in. So, I underscore what you\u2019re saying because I\u2019ve been working with those two things this week and it works.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: The harder we work at making something happen, the worse it gets. I had the same experience just last week where I had a deadline. I wanted this one video in place before I sent out my emails. And, of course, I was so intense on having that darn video out that I felt like it wasn\u2019t true; I felt like my video editor disappeared off the face of the planet. And I kept feeling in my heart, that pushing feeling like I wanted to email him and say, \u201cCan you hurry up I need this really bad?\u201d That urgency triggered fear and the idea, \u201cThis is going to be late,\u201d \u201cWhat if I have to go find a new video editor.\u201d<\/p>\n

I said, whatever you do, Jeanna, do not email that guy in this state of mind. It will be nothing but trouble. So just stop, relax, ask yourself, \u201cWhat is the piece of this I can\u2019t control?\u201d I can\u2019t control other people but I can control how I feel. I decided I could look for another person to do the editing if I had to and whenever this video got done, it would be perfect. Five hours later I had the longest conversation I have ever had with the video editor. He just appeared on my screen, on Skype, and the video was uploaded an hour later.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: A great lesson about chilling out. Going back to that place of tension where you initially described\u2014that\u2019s obviously not the place we want to be when writing a book. Can you talk a bit about how you worked with Law of Attraction in your book creation process?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: I said I would never write a book. I had watched other people go through the process and it didn\u2019t look fun to me at all. They all seemed to be suffering. It started out as a good idea and then it became work. And then as soon as it was published then it became more work. And I thought, \u201cOh, why would I want to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Eva Gregory and I have a business together and we had interviewed Jack Canfield on our radio show. He called us afterwards and said, \u201cLadies, I love you, guys! Let\u2019s write a book!\u201d And we said, \u201cYes! Luck is smiling upon us!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: I would say so!<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: So, we had a publisher\u2014that part was taken care of. However, we didn\u2019t move forward on the process for a long time. When they finally said, \u201cIt\u2019s time to go; you have two months to hand us the book,\u201d I looked at Eva and my eyes almost popped out of my head. All of a sudden it didn\u2019t feel like fun.<\/p>\n

I thought, \u201cOh my gosh, what are we going to do?\u201d I was about to go on vacation to South America, out of the country, and Jack said, \u201cI\u2019m going out of the country too!\u201d And Eva said, \u201cOh my gosh; don\u2019t leave me with this book to write. And he said, \u201cLadies,\u201d he said, \u201cthis is really important. You cannot write a book on Law of Attraction and suffer through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: I often say that the lessons we teach in our books will come up in our lives. My first book was on anger and I\u2019ll leave it at that! So, what did you do?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Well, it goes against what other people had told us in terms of writing the book. \u201cEva,\u201d I said, \u201cwhat parts do you feel like writing?\u201d<\/p>\n

And she said, \u201cI\u2019m feeling inspired to write this section.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I said, \u201cWell, I feel inspired to write this section.\u201d<\/p>\n

I did not read her stuff while I was writing. And we switched around and just picked [the specific section] whenever we felt the mood to write.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: I had two co-authors with The Ultimate Guide to Transforming Anger<\/i> and we divvied up chapters the same way. We each wrote our stuff first and then shared it around\u2026<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: It was so easy from that point forward. We were editing a collection of stories from people, and that was one of the most challenging parts. We had hundreds of amazing stories we had to choose from. And then we had comics and we had homework in it\u2014all the moving parts. We stuck to asking ourselves, \u201cWhat feels inspiring right now?\u201d and connected to our own divine guidance.<\/p>\n

I write an e-zine to my email list and there is a little bit of figuring out every week what you\u2019re going to write about. I\u2019ve been writing this since 1999. There\u2019s always a moment when I think, \u201cGod, what have they not already heard from me before?\u201d I never regurgitate; I always write something fresh. So, I just sit down. I firstly close my eyes and say, \u201cOkay, whatever I\u2019m supposed to write I\u2019m going to write. If an idea doesn\u2019t pop in my head about the topic, I go for my walk. I come back and I just start writing\u2014often with no idea what I\u2019m going to write.<\/p>\n

I just imagine my biggest fan. There\u2019s somebody out there who just loves everything I write and what would they love to hear about, and I start writing. And I think so many people that I have coached \u2013 and you have probably seen this a million times too \u2013 it does turn into work and people get in their head and they forget that it\u2019s an absolutely divinely-guided process when you allow it to come through you rather than try to pull it out of you.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>:\u00a0 When I\u2019m trying too hard, I walk away from my computer. I know I\u2019m trying to make it perfect or I\u2019m trying to say the right thing so that the right people will listen. If you were in the flow when you were writing it, this was meant to be on that piece of paper or in that computer file. It\u2019s meant to flow and if it\u2019s not flowing it\u2019s time to push you away from the computer.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Sometimes\u2014especially when I\u2019m writing for a book\u2014I just use a pen and pad and get away from the computer because that can help me enter that creative space where it doesn\u2019t feel like work. I also love your visualization of your biggest fan. In my Bring Your Book to Life Program, I tell writers at the start to visualize one specific person they\u2019re writing for because I think, too, you feel that intimacy when you imagine that person and so the reader has this more intimate experience as well.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: I think that\u2019s critical for any medium \u2013 I really do. I\u2019m in the middle of doing some videos and actually tonight, I\u2019m going to shoot the video with people actually in front of me so I can talk with somebody rather than talking to the camera. [If I\u2019m talking to the camera], I\u2019m trying to say the right thing, do the right thing, rather than just expressing myself. I love having that idea of heart to heart connection. You relax, enjoy and it becomes conversational.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: \u00a0..and the reader experiences it as a conversation, too, which I believe we all want as readers\u2014a connection with the author\u2014that feeling that the author is there with us.<\/p>\n

So, are there any specific things you suggest for authors to tap into their brilliance and have that magical download? You mentioned taking that break when needed and going for a walk\u2014any other particular practices that help tap into that?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Before I even sit down to do the actual writing, I get very clear on what I want to feel when I\u2019m writing.\u201d Because writing can become a chore or it can be what it\u2019s designed to do which is be a creative outlet\u2014you divinely downloading this beautiful talent of yours that you always have access to and you\u2019re just being intentional about it. I sit down and I\u2019m very clear on the experience I want to have while I\u2019m writing, what I want the reader to experience, I just imagine them breathing. What is it I want them to feel? What do I want them to walk away with? When I\u2019m doing something bigger than an article, I sit down and write down my intention for this experience of writing.<\/p>\n

And, I feel any little gremlin, any little niggles of worry about, \u201cAm I going to be on target or do I really know what I\u2019m talking about?\u201d and I actually script around that, too. Meaning, I imagine that everything I say\u2014and everything that gets put on paper\u2014will be of value. I\u2019ve set an intention around all my fears so I can turn them around. Writing is our greatest form of focus. \u00a0It\u2019s not like anybody is going to see this [intention and script]. It\u2019s just for you to get grounded and know what your intention is.<\/p>\n

I want to say something about writer\u2019s block. Not that everybody calls it that but people say, \u201cI\u2019m stuck,\u201d o r \u201cI\u2019m not clear,\u201d or \u201cI don\u2019t know where to go next.\u201d \u00a0As soon as you start saying that and you\u2019re trying to work yourself out of that place, you\u2019ve created a pathway to be blocked day after day because now you\u2019ve created the stories that you\u2019re blocked and you keep telling yourself you\u2019re blocked. There\u2019s no way you can have clarity when you\u2019ve already said it in your head that you\u2019re blocked. Creativity is not going to come and so you have to change your stories.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: We\u2019re on the same page! You mentioned writing in the zone. It\u2019s interesting. I teach these 5 steps for what I also call \u201cWriting in the Zone\u201d and in step 5, I have people give thanks for whatever they did and focus on what they do feel good about. So even if they didn\u2019t write, they can feel grateful they set aside the time and made space to be there with the book and think about it. And that positive focus sets them\u00a0 up for success the next time. You don\u2019t have to view not writing as a block. You can be grateful for the quiet time. Maybe it\u2019s creative space for the writing that will flow next time.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: This is such great to point. In terms of law of attraction people always think that if you\u2019re not writing or doing research then you\u2019re not being productive. Just sitting down, if you took five minutes to daydream about the book, ponder, open your heart to what\u2019s next with the book, even if you\u2019re not even writing it yet and you\u2019re just thinking about writing, you\u2019re actually creating all sorts of wonderful things happening behind the scenes that will come to for wishing later.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: It\u2019s a trust issue, isn\u2019t it? Even when the writing is not coming, this time we\u2019re spending thinking about the book or just sitting there organizing the desk\u2014we can somehow trust that this is part of the process.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Everything is about trust. We\u2019ve been trained that it\u2019s not okay to be unproductive. It\u2019s not okay to ponder and wait for the last minute. Sometimes the best downloads come at the last minute. So you have a deadline for the writing, but you just don\u2019t feel like it\u2019s coming. If you can trust in that moment that all is well, I promise you, even if you have only the weekend to finish the book and half the book needed to be done, it would pour forth from you. But it\u2019s so challenging to trust that that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

Eva and I learned a lesson on this.\u00a0 We were giving a presentation to a bunch of coaches, and we were going to speak and we kept thinking \u201cAbout what?\u201d Every time we would sit down to have a meeting and say, \u201cWhat?\u201d What are we going to talk about? What are our key points?\u201d We were like, \u201cI don\u2019t know. Do you have any ideas?\u201d \u201cNo, I don\u2019t have any ideas.\u201d We were driving there; still nothing. And we\u2019re drinking a glass of wine before we were ready to speak and it was one of those moments\u2014we wrote it on a cocktail napkin. One of the intentions was that we would get a standing ovation because we would just going rock their worlds! Oh my gosh — a standing ovation and we did. I\u2019m a believer; I trusted it would come, then it comes.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: I have a question I\u2019m just dying to ask you because it\u2019s something many of my clients struggle with and I did, too, to some extent. I know if I\u2019m saying the word \u201cstruggle\u201d I\u2019m not doing this in the law of attraction way. There\u2019s this whole issue of \u201cTo get a publishing deal, you need to create a platform. \u201c It seems like platform can become very quickly this onerous task like, \u201cI have to be on Facebook\u201d or \u201cI have to be on Twitter and LinkedIn and blogging.\u201d It becomes overwhelming and not at all fun. So, what are some of your secrets for doing this platform building in a way that is fun, that works and that is efficient too?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Okay, so I\u2019m going to be the anti-platform woman for a moment.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: That\u2019s great!<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>:\u00a0 The publishing world is going to tell you that you need that. And is it great if you have that? Yeah! But if you truly believe you have a book the world needs to see and you\u2019re very much connected to it, if you make up a story that you don\u2019t need a platform, and you truly believe that and you see clearly that this book of yours is going to get published, you will get a book deal.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s whatever you believe will happen. The universe will connect you and put you in the most amazing circumstances to have that happen.<\/p>\n

\"bestsellingLisa<\/strong>: Tama Kieves has a story about trusting in the writing of her book, This Time I Dance<\/i> and then things just unfolded for her in a truly magical way. \u00a0She had some platform\u2014teaching workshops\u2014but it wasn\u2019t a huge platform. She focused on the book and then putting it out it there and self-publishing. Then a publisher came to her because she just loved the book.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: That\u2019s the way. I mean look at what happened with Eva and me. We didn\u2019t shop the book. Someone called us just because they were enthused about what we were doing and had a good time with us. We were just having a good time with Jack Canfield and being a little student and learning.<\/p>\n

If you do believe you need a platform, then you do need a platform. And the easiest way to build a platform is to: 1)Stay connected to what is true for you in your heart about your message. 2) Do it in a way that feels absolutely fun to you, even if it\u2019s not what the experts say as the right way.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Can you share an example?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: I was preparing for a big launch. The traditional way to reach out to joint venture partners to support a launch is to call them up or have someone on your team call them up and hound people to please support you. That does not feel good to me, but I said I want a big launch and I want a lot of partners to support to me on this. What the heck am I going to do? And I thought of a video. I want to make everybody I want to play with a personal video.<\/p>\n

And my team said, \u201cYou\u2019re going to do a personal video for every single person?\u201d And I thought, \u201cYeah! It sounds fun; let me try it.\u201d\u00a0 I did it and I got more yes\u2019s from those videos and had such a blast doing them. People said, \u201cJeanna, all right. I want to do it. The video got me.\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t care if people said yes or not. I was just unattached, having fun, and I noticed the people who are growing their social media the fastest, there are definitely some strategies behind it, but they are doing it in a way that is a fit for them and they want to do it.<\/p>\n

An organic method\u00a0 grounded in strategy will always win you a fast growing platform but there\u2019s nothing better than being connected to your message and setting the intention of what you want to create on the world. And from that place, you start asking the questions from a curious place, \u201cHmmm, my heart is open; what would be fun? What is the strategy that would really work for me that\u2019s so fun I can stick with it, and if I delegate it, then my team will love doing it too?\u201d And when you do that, magic starts happening because you start getting excited about building the platform rather than it being a chore.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: I love that. I\u2019m considering taking the whole summer off from social media, taking a break. But, I love what you\u2019re saying, I can just ask, \u201cWhat would be fun?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>:\u00a0 It works every time and often if we check in with our heart, our emotional guidance system is always giving us a feedback. If it feels good, it means, \u201cYes! This is a good idea! Move forward!\u201d and if it doesn\u2019t feel good, it means either this is not a good idea or we need to tweak it in a way that it does feel good.<\/p>\n

Often, I brainstorm with a marketing consultant two hours every week. Sometimes he\u2019ll tell me something and I\u2019m wrinkling my nose going, \u201cNo way am I doing that. First of all, it\u2019s so hard and second it feels icky.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then he\u2019ll say, \u201cOkay great! What would work?\u201d<\/p>\n

I am like, \u00a0\u201cMaybe something like this\u2026\u201d and then we come up with a good idea and I\u2019m geeking out on marketing because it sounds so fun! [Otherwise] it sounds like, \u201cDo I really have to do this? All I really want to do is write a book. Can I please just write the book?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Yeah, and I do hear that a lot. So, this is such a great way to view it and to enjoy it and have it work. What\u2019s your take on how an author can get the desired results after publishing even if they are a newbie?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Ask questions of lots of people who have results and start powerfully asking for support. Ask people what they did to make it work, what do they like, what do they not like and what gave them the best results.\u00a0 Even if you don\u2019t know them, start being a connector with people who have gotten great results and see how you can tweak it and apply it to a book.<\/p>\n

Some friends of mine wrote a book and they did such a fun launch and I was one of their supporters. They were doing live streaming and they had a party at their house. They did so many fun things! I thought, \u201cBoy, they are making a book launch the most fun you can have!\u201d I was having a very busy day and [watching their stream] I thought, \u201cI feel like I should just go over to their house right now and join the party! It looks like that much fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s about asking questions and seeing how you can tweak things that you already like doing. How can you tweak those things to actually support your platform?<\/p>\n

When we launched our book, I didn\u2019t want to do a quote book tour. I couldn\u2019t see myself flying all over the United States. It did not sound like fun to me. So, we said, \u201cLet\u2019s do a virtual book tour. Let\u2019s make it super fun, we\u2019ll only do it with fun people and let\u2019s not have a cheap scripted interview.\u201d Scripted interviews are so not fun to me. They\u2019re so not fun. I thought if I had to look right now at notes to see what points I\u2019m going to make, It will be in my head and I wouldn\u2019t be enjoying you and I would miss out on any divine guidance that would come through me.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: It wouldn\u2019t connect in the same way. People listening really feel you and your presence but you can\u2019t do that when you\u2019re in your head.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: I think it\u2019s also one of the biggest things that cuts off our resolve just when we don\u2019t see immediate results. Let\u2019s say you have a book launch and maybe you did okay and let\u2019s say all the hubbub has died down. A lot of people [focus on a] big launch and then kind of forget about their book. [Maybe the book launch] didn\u2019t do as well as they thought, and they would say, \u201cAh! I failed!\u201d or there\u2019s nothing to do now. That\u2019s not true. You can breathe new life into any book any time at any moment just by being clear about the decision to do so. Because, once you made the decision about what this book is going to do for you and you stay in the zone of asking people questions and getting input, you can come up with a new plan that will outdo any plan you\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

I thought if I wrote a book with Jack Canfield, I would become world famous. I thought it would open us up to millions of new people being our fans. And that didn\u2019t happen. And so when I took my attention off what it didn\u2019t do for me and relaxed about it, I thought, \u201cYou know what? Let\u2019s just focus on the book as a way of getting credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

When I set my intention as a way for me to get credibility, things started shifting. The book was translated in three different languages. And we have Facebook page for it. We get more random likes in that page than I do on my normal Facebook page and I don\u2019t know how people find it. I\u2019ve gotten clients from it. I\u2019ve had people become clients from Amazon by just seeing my bio on Amazon for the book. Some extraordinary things have happened once I decided to shift the focus.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Can you share some example of out of the box ways to tap in to the divine guidance\u2014how you or your clients are using that guidance to get extraordinary results?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Last year I was getting frustrated with some business classes I was teaching. People kept getting triggered in a negative way by conversations around money and profit. And I thought this is driving me nuts! I was spending so much time talking about money because if I don\u2019t get their energy up around money, any time they implement a new business strategy, it\u2019s not going to get the results they want.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Because of their negative stories about money?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Yes.\u00a0 Nothing they\u2019re going to do is going to get extraordinary results.<\/p>\n

I have some classes on money but they\u2019re in general. They\u2019re more about law of attraction on money not generating money for your business. I kept thinking, \u201cHow could I do this?\u201d So I started asking more powerful questions around how I could get this information without being hard, because I was really busy and I thought, \u201cI don\u2019t have time to create something new.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it occurred to me, \u201cWhat if I send people out on this vision quest?\u201d It just came to me that I wanted to teach a new class called Profit Quest.<\/p>\n

And I just left it up to divine guidance and I said, \u201cAll right, when the time is right, show me exactly what I\u2019m supposed to teach around this and then I\u2019m not going to worry about it. While I was making the agenda for what I want to teach for this year, it came to me just the exact thing and I just up for it.<\/p>\n

Often, when I\u2019m looking for specific guidance on something, I\u2019ll ask for a piece of it. For instance, once I have the name of something, I can start writing. Don\u2019t get hung up on that because that\u2019s not going to work for everybody. But if you just ask for the piece that you know is the easiest first step for you, it\u2019s much easier than saying \u2013 \u201cAll right, give me the content for the most bestselling book that the world has seen on this stuff!\u201d It\u2019s a little too big. I say, ask for a piece of it and ask a powerful question around it so that your guidance can serve you up the specific answer you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having one of those moments where you feel blocked and you keep asking for guidance then you\u2019re saying, \u201cPlease get me out! I\u2019m stuck on this. How come I\u2019m so stuck?\u201d It\u2019s not a powerful question. You\u2019re not empowering when you\u2019re asking that question. You need to ask a powerful question such that you believe you\u2019re going to get your answer.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Can you give an example of a powerful question?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: \u201cWhat would help me align right now with my next step?\u201d That\u2019s a very general question but you\u2019re asking, \u201cHow can I align with my next step?\u201d rather than, \u201cI need to know exactly what to do right now,\u201d which comes from a place of desperation.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you\u2019re looking for a publisher, rather than saying, \u201cWho is going to be my publisher?\u201d you might say, \u201cIs there someone I need to talk to who could lead me in the right direction of the right publisher for me?\u201d You\u2019re breaking it down but you\u2019re also asking for specific guidance rather than the whole shebang. It\u2019s not that you can\u2019t ask a very big specific question but, most of the time, if you\u2019re in a place of disconnection from your own power, it\u2019s easier to ask a more general, smaller piece as your question.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>:\u00a0 So if you were writing a new book, what might you ask yourself?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: \u201cWhat would be fun for me to teach?\u201d rather than, \u201cWhat\u2019s my new book going to be about?\u201d I\u2019m just softening it a little bit so there\u2019s no attachment to writing the book. It\u2019s just a question of, \u201cWhat might be fun?\u201d \u00a0I feel my heart expand when I open to that, and if you don\u2019t feel yourself expand while you\u2019re asking the question then you need to ask a different question. A lot of times the question we\u2019re asking is actually triggering fear because we don\u2019t believe we can actually get the answer to that important a question.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: I love that. I\u2019m going to be asking more questions! Let\u2019s talk about what you\u2019re up to currently and how it can help people create action and thoughts to attract more profits and also have fun doing it.<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Yes. Fun, fun, fun! I\u2019ve been creating a webinar about increasing profits by connecting to what I call your inner business expert<\/i> and inner author, too. And it\u2019s connecting to that place and grounding it with some planning and plans that are fun, not plans that feel hard, and putting strategies in place both for the inner and outer game to increase your profit in a way that it does feel like fun. [We] start untangling some of those stories that we\u2019ve created about how hard it is to create our end results or how hard it is to generate money from the things we love doing.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a free webinar I just created called Unlock Your Profit Code<\/i><\/strong> and it\u2019s going to be super juicy. I\u2019ve just created some new videos to help people get aligned first from that inner game. And from that inner game, once you are in that yummy divine place, you\u2019re like, \u201cOkay! I feel good!\u201d Then you can start playing the strategies that are easy and doable You can implement them right away.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the biggest things I\u2019ve ever done. I spent a lot of time toying with it because I knew that if I had time to be creative with it, it would be fun for me and make a bigger impact on the people listening.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: This sounds so juicy! I\u2019m definitely going to be there. Readers can sign up here for the free webinar and 2 bonus videos to Unlock Your Profit Code<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/i>Jeanna, thank you so much for being with us today. Anything you\u2019d like to just leave us with \u2013 one last bit?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: Always listen to your internal guidance system. It\u2019s never wrong. The more you trust it, the more fun you\u2019re going to have and the more creativity that will pour through you\u2014like you\u2019re turning a switch on. It will be that easy. But it\u2019s a practice \u2013 a life-long process\u2014so don\u2019t get pressured if it doesn\u2019t happen immediately. I\u2019m still practicing myself as a daily life-long practice that is incredibly rewarding.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: Thank you. And you\u2019ll know you\u2019re listening when it feels good and when what you\u2019re doing doesn\u2019t feel good, you know maybe you\u2019re listening to the wrong voice, right?<\/p>\n

Jeanna<\/strong>: That\u2019s right; then you\u2019re listening to your gremlin not your truth.<\/p>\n

Lisa<\/strong>: \u00a0Jeanna, thank you so much. Have a wonderful day and I will be there unlocking my profit code.<\/p>\n
