Adrienne Daniels, Flower of Life Coach

Hi, I’m Flower75! And it’s time I introduce myself. My biggest passions in life are learning and sharing. So, I do hope that you find what I’m sharing with you of great use and of great inspiration,. Thanks for slowing down a bit to read.

This is a very personal endeavor for me – turning a passion to a profit. Just a few years ago, I saw myself making a living tapping away at my laptop while sipping on a cup of my favorite coffee and on occasion, glancing out my window for some inspiration. At that time, my idea of what type of website business I wanted to operate was very broad. All that mattered was that I gave consultations because coaches offered consultations to make money.

Of course my vision was limited because I didn’t know much about how the online business world worked. I just simply operated from the old concept of how a typical consultant operated. But as my business continued to grow I also continued to grow, and my focus of what I was really wanting for my business began to sharpen. I am still to this day evolving in my business concept.

Focus is key to projecting my vision out into the world. I alone know what I want my life to become. But when I stop paying attention to the subtle winks and nudges the Universe is willing to give me along the way, creating my world then becomes a lot more difficult and a lot less fun.

Usually when I find I’m not paying attention it is because I’ve gotten too distracted by the world around me. Aaah, the world! Everyone’s nemesis! How to be in it but not of it, is life’s riddle. It doesn’t take much to pull anyone out of their world of infinite possibilities into this current projected world of “negative Neds and Nellies”. Having a full-proof method of escape back to your focus is vital.

Maintaining Focus, Eliminating Fear

The energy of fear has caused so many of us to remain in unwanted relationships, situations, and even jobs for years before finally making the much needed move toward change. Unfortunately, some of us never do make a change but continue to complain as if complaining is going to actually make the change.

While fear is a huge reason many do not realize their passions, the inability to focus is also another factor why so many stay in unwanted circumstances.

Working for someone else is never a bad thing. What’s bad is working for someone else for the rest of your life and having an idea, but too afraid to implement it. Remember, it’s much easier to tolerate doing something you hate if what you hate is used solely as a stepping stone to accomplishing a certain goal in life. We all need each other to create the life we want. No one can do it alone.

If you have a passion but not quite sure how to make a profit with it, here are several examples of skills/hobbies along with a variety of platforms that can hopefully help anyone looking to make a profit get started in the right direction.

Passion To Profit Tips And Tools

To begin, I’ll attempt to define what a passion is. A “passion” for me is a hobby or skill that I enjoy doing so much that when I’m engaged it can cause me to lose track of a great deal of time. I also enjoy this hobby or skill so much that I’m either thinking and/or talking about it often, or I’m at least trying to do this hobby or skill as often as I can.

What Is Your Passion?

Write down your passion. This is a skill or hobby that you lose all track of time doing, and you think about it and/or try to do it as often as you can.
If you lose interest in your passion when you think of trying to make money from it. (Stop here.)

Seeking For Something More

Posted on November 29, 2017September 8, 2018 by flower75

What Are You Seeking After? If you weren’t seeking for something more, you wouldn’t have landed on this page.

It doesn’t matter what you think you’re seeking after, what you’re really wanting is the opportunity to express who you ultimately are.

This, of course, is my theory. And you can’t replace the experience of expressing who you ultimately are with material objects. Pay close attention to what I’ve actually said. It is the experience of expressing that cannot be replaced.

When we make the object we wish to obtain our identity and our goal, we fail to understand why we are here. Please do not misunderstand what I am attempting to convey here. The desiring of things is a must. We must want in order to place into action the Momentum of the Experience of Expression. But when we get hung up on the object (thing desired), we are stunting our soul’s growth in connection with the experience of (1) Source’s (or God’s) expression through us and (2) our expression of Source through us.

Earth is a place designed for our practice to express God. I will use Source and God interchangeably here in this blog to define the power of the “All That Is”. It is here on Earth that we are to allow the energy or power of God to express Itself through us in order for it to know Itself. And in order for this Source power to know Itself, it must operate within the (illusory) constraints of contrast. For it is this contrast that helps put into action the Momentum of the Experience of Expression or MEE.

The state of our world is the contrast. This contrast has put in place a massive desire for change. This desire or want has put into place the MEE. Now, we can jump on board with this momentum and allow full expression of Source to recreate this world anew. Or, we can ignore the momentum and live our lives without the soul’s growth as the focus. And of course, everyone has the free will to choose whatever they feel. But thank the “All That Is” that it doesn’t take a large number of soul’s jumping on board to begin a shift into a much-needed direction.

What’s Happening On Board The MEE

Leadership For Changing The World

Posted on November 11, 2017June 29, 2018 by flower75

What do you say we just stop pretending. When we just shake our heads after hearing about some horrendous, unfortunate act of victimization then go about our business as though all is fine, we’re pretending. Or, we’re just as crazy as the perpetrators! But honestly, I don’t think that the majority of us are crazy or even pretending. I think the majority of us are just simply overwhelmed. It’s just too damn much!

Of course, I get it. It’s easier to shake our heads then try to tuck the negative news away on a shelf along with the rest of the insane nonsense encountered on a daily. But guess what? It’s still in our faces. All of it is still in our faces, and it’s going to continue to be in our faces until it has grown into something we are going to wish to the heavens we had put a stop to. Or, at least tried!

So, we become paralyzed and do nothing. We think that one person is just a drop in the ocean and won’t be able to make much of an impact in the world. Besides, the world is too far gone anyway so why do anything at all?

What?!! So, we just ride it out?

Well, I won’t ride it out! I’m going to do all I can to be a part of the trailblazing, positive force needed to change this wacky world. And deep down you know you want to be a part of that trailblazing force, too.

Weren’t you born with the same rights to experience love, wealth and happiness as everyone else on this planet? You are entitled! But entitlement doesn’t come to those who don’t believe they are. Stop believing what those “too big for their own britches to fail” government officials say when they try to make you feel bad about your natural entitlement rights. Hell yes you’re entitled! Why wouldn’t you be? They feel entitled to do whatever they need to live lavish and large even when it’s off of your hard earned dollars, and without any apology. So, stop apologizing when you’re just trying to get the basics for survival, and trying to get it the right way. Through hard work!

Listen to his ridiculous statements! Food?!

Now, where were we? Oh yeah, we were talking about how we’re going to change this mess of a world. And in order to do this we must think in terms of “liquidation”. Everything must go! We have to revamp the system. Gut it out! We can’t change the world if we continue to allow the same people with the same thinking pass the laws, run the businesses, teach our children, control our food sources, tell us who or what God is, and have an ill intent on making us sick for profit. But most importantly, we must first begin the change with ourselves.

It is time for you (you know who you are) and I to stand up strong and tall in a fierce intent to shift our lives and this world completely from the old, destructive energies to the new, life-affirming energies. We are the mid-wives assisting in this difficult but glorious birth of a brand new world to come. Are you with me?

Often I hear of some of the most excellent ideas from people wanting to create more conscious businesses that are truly for the betterment of humanity. Are you one of those people? Or, maybe you’ve shared with family or friends the many things that are wrong with our school system and what you’d do to change it. Maybe you’ve even mentioned a thing or two on Facebook expressing a few brilliant bullet points on how you’d address differently certain current political issues. Whatever the skill, if you feel compassionate enough about it to want to make a difference with it then it’s time you start shining your light to become the much needed leadership for changing the world. .

So, here’s the plan. First take this Conscious Business Assessment Test to see if you’re ready for entrepreneurship. Next download these free worksheets to help cultivate and outline your passion to understand more clearly how you can turn it into a conscious and sustainable business that will benefit the world. The world doesn’t need another business, the world needs a conscious business. So, think of your business in terms of not only benefiting people but also benefiting the planet as well. Or, use the worksheets to create a proposal designed to revamp the educational, political, and healthcare arenas. Learn how to write a grant to obtain the funds you’ll need to get your ideas off the paper and into the world.

If you have a desire to help change the world but not the desire to start a business or work in any of these capacities, your positive intention is still very much needed for shifting these old, tired energies out of the way to make way for the new. Believe it or not, intentionally living from the heart still contributes toward the greater good for all.

Contributing to the energy shift of our planet can take many different forms. For instance, growing a small garden on your porch, backyard, or even a window box can be a wonderful way to get things moving in a positive direction. Think about it, if you and your family are growing and eating toxic-free foods, you’ll be more likely to want a toxic-free society. Also, your neighbors can become curious, start asking questions then next thing you know more of your neighbors are now growing their own gardens. Soon a community garden pops up and the possibilities become endless.

Not Sure What To Do? Make Money From Home

Posted on September 6, 2017September 6, 2018 by flower75

We all could not be living in a more intelligent time than today. The ‘Information Age’ as we now know it has given us more opportunities to make, in an instant, connections with our family, friends, teachers, doctors, you name it. Everything and everyone is right at our fingertips. So, is it any wonder that we, too, now have immediate access to creating a means to earning an awesome living right from the comfort our own homes?

Coaching Tip

First, before you begin your trek to becoming your own boss and filling out a different set of tax forms, give yourself a self assessment to find out what it is you’d like to do. Take a few minutes to sit down and write out what really interests you. Do you enjoy researching and writing about different topics on the internet? Do you like sales? Or, do you prefer helping people solve product-related problems? Are you a true entrepreneur at heart and have always wanted to own an online franchise? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions then I hope that the following home-based business ideas listed here will help to get you moving in the right direction.

Do this everyday and watch your business grow into a HUGE SUCCESS!

The Popularity in Becoming an e-Franchise Owner

The term e-Franchise is a fairly new term that is becoming more mainstream among both the young and old enterprising communities. At one time, the idea of owning a branch-off business meant having to establish a physical locale, but today’s online business opportunities are allowing people of a variety of interests to set up shop in their own homes with ease. Of course, owning a business can be somewhat costly and it can also be quite time-consuming, but not all franchises need a large cash investment nor do they require a lot of time to operate. For some, all you will need to get started is to have an interest in the market, a small amount of capital, and the will to making your business a huge success. Listed here are several low-cost, home-based, online franchising ideas.

Chloe and Isabel

Chloe & Isabel is a jewelry merchandising company that offers a unique opportunity for those who are interested in owning and operating their own online social retail franchise. CEO and founder, Chantel Waterbury, formed Chloe & Isabel, with the main purpose of empowering the modern entrepreneur by combining the essentials of eCommerce, direct sales, and social networking.

In business for just five short years, Chloe & Isabel has managed to grow into a multi-million dollar industry and has come to serve as a beacon for newer upcoming merchandising companies, reinventing the approach of direct sales for today’s modern media age.

Here’s How It Works

For the interested merchandiser, you must first apply and go through an interview or peer-selected process before being selected. Once you’ve been selected, an initial investment of $175 will get you a kit filled with Chloe & Isabel’s fashion jewelry worth $700. Along with the kit, you’ll also receive your own customized online eFranchise, an exclusive URL, marketing training, social media tools, 30%-50% off of all future orders, and for perks, you’ll receive fabulous, free jewelry and fun-filled trips. You can choose to work part-time, full-time, or become a merchandiser leader. All vendors will receive 25%-40% commission on all sales, and on occasion cash bonuses to commemorate certain achievements.

To increase your earning capacity, no recruiting is required since this is not a multi-level marketing business. Your earning potential is strictly based on your ability to market yourself and your product with as much creativity as possible. Many young entrepreneurs have created very successful franchises by launching online pop-up shops, by posting fashion pics on Instagram, or by just simply hosting events. It will be your own business to reach whatever goal you choose to set for yourself. There’s no limit to the success you can create!

Constant Content

If you enjoy writing and love the idea of having the freedom to write about anything you desire, Constant Content is an excellent platform for freelance writers to show off their literary skills.

Constant Content has been around for over 10 years and has grown to become one of the internet’s acclaimed forums for purchasing tens of thousands of authentic pre-written articles. Primarily, Constant Content focuses on providing content tailored specifically to client needs and requests, and by doing so they have connected more than 100,000 writers to over 50,000 businesses and organizations worldwide.

Getting Started

When applying to become a freelance writer for Constant Content, you will first need to fill out the author registration form. On this form, you will give information relating to education, certifications, skills, and areas of expertise. Once you’ve completed this portion of the registration, you will be asked to agree to their terms and conditions. Afterward, you will be directed to take a very short quiz consisting of five questions on grammar usage and other content-oriented topics. The final step to the registration process is to submit a writing sample regarding a random topic given. Keep in mind that you will be able to request a new topic if, for any reason, you find that you are uncomfortable with the initial one.

Once you’ve completed the registration, you will be required to set up a PayPal account. All payments to writers will be made via PayPal which means that every sale made will be posted and made available to you immediately (authors earn 65% from each transaction). Constant Content’s fee is keeping 35% of the proceeds which is applied toward promotions, editing, author referrals, advertising, and more.

Earning potential with Constant Content, of course, will vary as with any freelance medium. The more you write SEO friendly, high-quality content, the better your chances of acquiring a relatively decent income. When setting the price for an article that you have written, it is best to adhere to a template of price ranges that Constant Content offers for the number of words you are submitting. On average, the price can run between $0.08 – $0.12 per word, generating approximately $40 -$60 per article.

While Constant Content is not the only measure of making money as a freelance writer, it may very well be one of the fastest ways to getting started to earning a home-based income that you desire.

Don’t Forget To Have Fun!

LiveOps

To begin, pick a nice quiet area in your home where you know you will not be disturbed. Whether it is the study, bedroom, or kitchen, any area of your home is fine as long as the area you’ve chosen is free from any background noises such as conversation, traffic, pet noises, TV, cell phones, doorbells, etc.

What You Will Need to Set Up Your Home Business:

A corded telephone (landline) is needed for this job. That means a corded phone that can be plugged into a wall phone jack and that has a place to plug in a headset (no cellular or wireless phones accepted). You will also need a corded headset that will plug directly into the corded telephone. It should be noted that LiveOps does not supply any technical support, troubleshooting, nor equipment for your home-based business startup.

Tip: For an easier setup, most agents purchase the phone and headset together instead of separately. Headset phones can be purchased online or at a retail store in your area.

Your landline phone should have service with your local telephone company, or a digital telephone service like Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Time Warner, or other similar companies.

For your home-based business, you will need a laptop or desktop computer that is connected to the internet by a Cable Modem or DSL and meets other listed requirements. No wireless connection accepted!

How To Get Started With LiveOps

To apply to be a LiveOps Agent, there are 9 steps to complete. It may seem like a lot, but it really isn’t. The first step is to select an Agent Opportunity which is to work in either Inbound Sales, Insurance Claims, Insurance Sales, Healthcare, Customer Service, or Roadside Service, or all. Once you’ve selected your area of interest you begin the application, assessment, and questionnaire, and take a voice audition. No worries, it’s really easy so don’t be intimidated by the process. Usually, within the next business day, or two, you will receive an invitation to contract with LiveOps and will be asked to complete paperwork as well as sign the contract. Next, you will be asked to complete a background and credit check. This you will have to pay for yourself. Normally, the cost is $65.00 but could be more depending on where you live, or have lived. After completing and passing your background and credit check, you will be asked to complete an Onboarding Certification (to certify you in your selected interest) then you can start taking calls.

As a LiveOps Agent or Independent Contractor, you can work part-time or full-time. Time blocks can be set to as little as 30 minutes, and you can choose to work at any time of day. Earnings is entirely based on performance and on the volume you choose to provide. The rate of pay does vary from client to client. Some clients will pay a base rate plus commission, some pay entirely on commission, and some will pay a straight talk rate of 25 cents per minute.

Agents are responsible for submitting their own invoices via an easy online LiveOps’ system and can receive payment by direct deposit or check. All agents are paid twice per month. Interested in becoming a LiveOps Agent? Join the LiveOps Team Now!

While there are plenty of money-making opportunities available online, and I have made use of quite a few of them, I am not in any way claiming that any one home-based business will make anyone an overnight success. Normally, it takes months or even years to generate a self-supporting income, but it’s not at all impossible with some persistence and a lot of creativity.
