				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kate2.maryweise.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/iStock_000019293328_ExtraSmall.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2776" alt="iStock_000019293328_ExtraSmall" src="http://kate2.maryweise.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/iStock_000019293328_ExtraSmall-300x182.jpg" width="300" height="182" /></a>I’ve been fielding some really great emails from folks who are considering taking B-School this year.</p>
<p>Enrollment closes at 3pm EST tomorrow, Monday, March 4th. All of the details about this life-changing course that helped me increase my revenue and my list size by 400% are here <a href="http://ow.ly/hS6R7" target="_blank">http://ow.ly/hS6R7</a>.</p>
<p>Along with B-School, you’ll get my course, Heart Hustle (over $1,000 value), for free. More details on that bonus here: <a href="http://ow.ly/ig9Zq" target="_blank">http://ow.ly/ig9Zq</a></p>
<p>I figured for every one person who emailed me there must be at least ten who are on the fence and didn’t email me. And the truth is, once you get your questions answered (and they’re ALL answered here <a href="http://ow.ly/hS6R7" target="_blank">http://ow.ly/hS6R7</a>), you’re the only one who can make the right decision for you.</p>
<h3> <b>If you have ever found yourself debating about whether or not you should do ANYTHING, this email is for you. </b></h3>
<h3> <b>I wrote this for the fence-sitters.</b></h3>
<p>Whenever I’m faced with making a decision, this is what I do to ensure that I make the right choice every time.</p>
<h3><b>If you use this method you will never make a wrong decision.</b></h3>
<p><b>Step 1:</b> Get clear on what the options are.</p>
<p><b>Step 2:</b> Close your eyes and take three deep breaths into your lower belly.</p>
<p><b>Step 3:</b> Bring to mind your first option. Don’t think about it too hard, just focus gently on it.</p>
<p><b>Step 4:</b> Notice how your body feels. Does it feel expansive or contracted? Expansive feels like when you’re playing with a puppy or holding a baby. It feels open-hearted and light. Contracted feels heavy, tight, limited, and darker. It feels like anxiety, depression, worry, or doubt.</p>
<p><b>Step 5:</b> If you feel expansive when you focus on the first option, it’s a yes! If you feel contracted, it’s a no.</p>
<p><b>Step 6:</b> Go through steps 3-5 for each option you have.</p>
<h3><a href="http://clicktotweet.com/1ajP2" target="_blank">Your body will tell you what is right for you. She’s your wisest ally and she’ll never steer you wrong.</a> (<a href="http://clicktotweet.com/1ajP2" target="_blank">Click to tweet.</a>)</h3>
<p>Cool, right?</p>
<h3><b>Now, you may ask, what if I feel fear? Is that expansive or contracted? </b></h3>
<p>Only your body will truly tell you which one it is. If you’re unsure, run through steps 1-6 again and really tune in to how your body is feeling.</p>
<p>Fear often comes up when we’re about to do something that takes us out of our comfort zone. But there’s a difference between the fear that comes up to keep you safe, like when you decide not to walk down a dark alley alone at 3am, and the fear that comes up when you’re about to leave your comfort zone.</p>
<p>If you truly tune in to the feeling in your body, the fear of leaving your comfort zone will feel expansive. My friend and speaking teacher, Gail Larsen, says: “Fear is just excitement without the breath.”</p>
<p>So, whether you’re on the fence about B-School or something else in your life, run through the 6 steps above.</p>
<h3><strong>And remember:</strong></h3>
<p><i>None of the good stuff happens on the fence.</i></p>
<p><i> Life doesn’t move forward on the fence. </i></p>
<p><i>Businesses don’t get built on the fence.</i></p>
<p><i>Dreams aren’t achieved on the fence.</i></p>
<p><i>The world isn’t changed by people who hang out on the fence.</i></p>
<h3><b>It’s time to get off the fence. </b></h3>
<p>If B-School feels expansive to you this time around (even if that means you’re a little scared), I’m SO excited to have you in my private B-School online community and Heart Hustle.</p>
<p>Register now so you don’t miss the deadline tomorrow at 3pm EST: <a href="http://ow.ly/hS6R7" target="_blank">http://ow.ly/hS6R7</a></p>
<p>And if it’s not right for you this time around, that’s okay too. I have no doubt you will rock your life and business through other avenues.</p>
<p><strong><i>Leave a comment and let me know if this 6-step method to making the right decision every time was helpful to you! Also, share any other methods of making decisions that you use. I’d love to hear them!</i></strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>I don’t believe in regret.</h4>
<p>Yes, we have infinite choices and infinite possibilities in life. Yes the world is our oyster. Yes, in this exact moment there are myriad versions of how my life could turn out based on what I decide to do in the next 30 seconds.</p>
<p>And yet,<strong> there is no such thing as a wrong decision</strong>. There is only the decision that you make. As soon as you choose, that’s your choice. The other choices you could have made but chose not too dissolve and their existence becomes immaterial. What lays before you now is a fertile, endless field of new choices and potentialities that is only possible because you just made the choice you made.</p>
<p>To those who are afraid of making a wrong turn, of choosing the wrong person, of missing something, of looking one direction and not seeing what was happening the other direction, listen up:</p>
<h4>What is for you cannot pass by you.</h4>
<p>(My dear friend and very wise woman <a href="http://www.lanshin.com">Sandra Chiu</a> tells me this from time to time when I get lost in the tangled web of my mind. Thank you angel Sandra.)</p>
<p>Since you can only make one decision in any given moment and since the next choices in your life unravel only as a result of the decision you just made, how could you choose wrong? You can only choose what you choose.</p>
<p>And therefore, I do not believe in regret. Regret inherently means that I made one choice but that I should have chosen something else. It means that I chose wrong. But how could you possibly unravel every single moment from the present moment to the moment in which you felt you may have made the wrong choice and discard it with a quick flick of regret?</p>
<h4>How can you dismiss all of the pregnant moments between here and there, now and then and say that those precious gems, heart warming or heart breaking, should not have been?</h4>
<p>Here’s the thing: the web of our lives is far more intricate than we could possibly comprehend or even imagine. The choice you make today makes tomorrow possible. And tomorrow when you’re living in the richness of every moment full of more choices and possibilities, please, please, please don’t throw them out with the overly simplified idea that you could keep all the moments of today (which is yesterdays tomorrow) and still go back and make a different decision. It’s, in a word, silly.</p>
<p>So next time you’re faced with a decision, may you hear Sandra’s words whisper in your ear:</p>
<h4>What is for you cannot pass by you.</h4>
<p><strong>May you remember always that there’s no such thing as a wrong decision.</strong> There is only the decision you make. Make it with gusto. Make it with panache. Make it with the wonderment that must accompany something without which the rest of your life would cease to unfold.</p>
<p>And don’t worry. There’s no such thing as opportunity only knocking once. If you miss her the first time around she’ll come back later. What is for you cannot pass by you. <strong>Don’t worry, you can’t screw it up.</strong></p>
<p>Throw regret out the window. Treasure today because without your brilliant choices yesterday, it wouldn’t even exist.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say when I first heard about Laura Roeder&#8217;s course <a href="https://roeder.infusionsoft.com/go/CreatingFame4/katem/">Creating Fame</a> I was curious about the title.</p>
<p>In my experience if fame is your primary goal, a lot of other things can go by the wayside like the quality of your work, being of service, and creative expression.</p>
<h3><strong>Luckily I know Laura personally I really respect her business acumen, the way she&#8217;s grown her brand, and how much practical content and wisdom she puts out into the world. So, I decided to get that girl on Skype and find out what was behind her <a href="https://roeder.infusionsoft.com/go/CreatingFame4/katem/">Creating Fame</a> product.</strong></h3>
<p>Tune in to our <a href="http://katenorthrup.maryweise.com/glimpsetv">Glimpse TV</a> episode to find out how online business maven Laura Roeder is turning conventional business wisdom on its head, what&#8217;s the most important thing for you to do in order to become an online expert in your field, and how Laura manages to never work at night or on the weekends (what?!).</p>
<p>***Note: The Skype video has a very artistic quality between the framing, lighting, and somewhat frequent video freezing. I&#8217;ve always been passionate about combining business with art. Enjoy!***</p>
