Sick and Can’t Sleep
What better to do at 3:30 AM when I’m sick and can’t sleep than update my blog. It has been a little while since I have actually written anything and not just had little blurb updates transferred from my other accounts.
So, I will tell you what I have been working on…both personally and professionally. Let’s start with the professional stuff because maybe some of you will get bored and stop reading before you hit the personal section…which I am a little bit hesitant to share, just because it’s personal. But that’s part of what I am working on so I already committed to share. Damn!
On the professional side of things, I am super excited about everything. There is so much in the works right now…new ideas and opportunities flowing in, literally, on a daily basis. That’s what happens when you put your intent in a direction and don’t resist. My creativity and confidence grow daily as I see things manifest and grow before my very eyes. And I am grateful that I am able to build this business alongside my friend Cesar, who just happens to be my longest-standing friend since I moved to New York – 1 year and 10 months ago. Man oh man, what a crazy ride it has been. He has been with me through so much…hahaha…and has been such a reliable and supportive friend. He wanted to do this dance business from the very beginning, but I was not mentally prepared to do so at the time. I had to go through a string of events first, that gave me some the strength and confidence I needed, as well as helped me eliminate self-imposed, limited thinking. Gosh dang, it was a rough start, but I sure as heck wouldn’t trade it for anything. I am happy with where I am now and look forward to things just getting better and better.
Here is a random clip of Cesar and I social dancing after teaching a class at Hunter College last week. Now you can put some faces to names.
One of the things I am especially excited about is creating online videos to market my businessĀ and create relationships (cyber and non-cyber) around the world. In fact, online videos have proven to be so effective that it is going to be one of my main marketing focuses this year…how to be creative and magnetic with the videos. You can build an instantaneous relationship and trust with your customers for FREE, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This year the quality of videos is going to increase drastically, becoming more like movie trailers as opposed to just simply holding a camera up to your face and talking. Anyhow, I am currently working on the homemade, hold-a-camera-up-to-your-face videos, due to a non-existent budget…which is still a step ahead of what I am currently doing. Meanwhile, as I implement all these different marketing strategies for “Step into Salsa”, I am taking note of the most effective methods and also learning how to be more efficient in the implementation process, so that I can eventually market other online products creatively.
In fact, you can see my very first online Salsa dance instructional video. We, of course, only want to provide better and better videos, so any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Please leave them on the YouTube page.
And now, sleep is starting to kick in so I better hurry and finish with my personal confessions…lol. Yeah right, I am not going to go that much into detail. But I will say that I have had a lot of good manifestations in the “guy” or “relationship” department lately, but I am not allowing myself to fully bask in the joy of it because I am afraid. So because I really believe that what we give focus to is what we will get out of life, then instead of focusing on the “fear” of situation, I will focus on the person I want to be more of in those situations. And that is the form my writing shall now take.
I am authentic and loving in my relationships with no fear of being hurt. I am generous and giving because it makes me happy to give, not because I give to get. I open up and share my feelings with another person even if it makes me feel vulnerable. I trust my instinct and am not afraid to question something that seems out of place. I appreciate and enjoy fully what I have before me and do not worry about what I could be missing. I know what I want and trust that through law of attraction and art of allowance, I will get the very thing I desire, and will let go of what doesn’t feel right for me.
I love life! Goodnight.
