How to Quit Your Job: 5 Tips on Creating an Exit Strategy

By Michelle Kulp on December 8, 2011

*NOTE:  FREE GIFT OFFER AT THE END OF THIS BLOG POST*

These days you might not have to “quit your job” as there’s a good chance you might be laid off, fired or asked to take extended periods of furlough (leave WITHOUT pay).  However,  if you’re in a job that you hate, despise, resent, or simply one that you are only there to pick up a paycheck, then what you need is a good “exit strategy.”

How to Quit Your JobI exited the corporate world in 2000 when I was given the pink slip at a law firm I worked at.  They told me they were “restructuring the department” I was in and that was it.  At that time (2000) I had been in the legal field 17 years, was absolutely miserable, and was there because I had 3 young children to support being a single mom and didn’t feel I had many other options.  I was there simply to pick up a paycheck as my heart was not in that job.  The biggest obstacle I had was that I didn’t know what else I wanted to do.

I do believe that if we are working in a job that does not involve us using our God-given gifts, then the Universe will create a  situation to help us get back to our true path.  Your true path is where you take your gifts and you share them with the world.

You have a special gift?  Yes, you…

That is the absolute truth.  In fact, you may have several gifts.  The question is – are you using your gifts and sharing them with the world or are you hiding them?

I don’t know what your specific gifts are, but you do.  Chances are good, however, that Read More…

Are you Inspired or Tired?

The Most Significant Choice You Will Ever Make:  Are you Inspired or Tired?

I work with coaching clients every day involved with different stages of creative projects, ruling small countries, creating empires, and finding their own way out of paper bags and into the sunlight. And this much I can tell you. No one is always doing great. I’ve never met anyone who sells every donut in their bakery, cultishly sticks to their writing schedule or has a breakthrough hourly. Most of my clients have some jamming moments in life. And that’s what I hunt for—the moments when the truth prevails.

An Inspired Moment is a Branding Moment

An inspired moment is a branding moment. It claims you, authorizes you, and instructs you. It introduces you to who you really are.

When I coach someone, I’m not looking for years of productivity. I’m not looking for streaks of dragon- breath peak performance.  I’m looking for moments, moments of being inspired. It’s a moment when you knew you were born under a red star and meant to do something outrageous and Read More…

Get Rich Click – The Ultimate Guide to Making Money on the Internet

By Michelle Kulp on November 16, 2011

Did you know that Business News magazine said that more millionaires are made online than offline? Do you know why?

Overhead.

Online businesses require very little overhead.  Brick and Mortar businesses are risky because of the huge potential of failure and losses.  If you started an online business and it failed, you would be out very little money ($10 for a domain name and $6.00 a month for a hosting company fee and any paid advertising you decided to invest in).  Other than that, the risk of loss is minimal.

“Get Rich Click!  The Ultimate Guide to Making Money on the Internet” is an amazing book by author Marc Ostrofsky that I suggest you purchase right away!

In his book, Ostrofsky says:

“A website is a virtual equivalent of a brick-and-mortar store.  It can be as simple as a one page site or a complex portal of products, services and affiliate links.”

I started out years ago with a basic website to promote my “offline” seminars that I was giving.  Since then, I’ve been Read More…

Do you need a 5-year plan?

By Michelle Kulp on November 3, 2011

Only you can answer that, but here’s something to consider: If you don’t have a 5-year plan, or any plan, then what typically happens to most people is they end up living their life by default. A 15-year study of 3,500 people that was done by the Melbourne University found that the happiest people were those who had “clear-cut goals”; including both short and long-term.

The majority of people do not have written down goals.  So the question is:  do you want to be like most people or do you want to be more successful and happier?  If your answer is “yes” to being more successful and happier, then writing a 5-year plan is highly suggested!  The key though is not to make it complicated or you’ll never do it.  In fact, take out a piece of paper right now and jot down a few goals for the next year, then build from that.

“Writing down an intention puts a nugget in your subconscious which sets you on a path to achieving it” according to Kennon Sheldon, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at the University of Missouri in Columbia.  The fascinating part is, once you record your goal then your subconscious mind begins scanning the world in search of people and situations to help you achieve those goals!

A couple of suggestions when writing your 5-year plan is to Read More…

The Law of Attraction – Learning to Manifest Your Heart’s Desires

By Michelle Kulp on October 12, 2011

The desires of your heart, the law of attractionWe all have “desires of the heart”, so what’s in your heart these days?

The first step in manifesting the desires of your heart is that you first have to “ask” for what you want.  Sometimes we forget that step.  You see, without asking, you will receive no answer.  It’s important, however, to note that before asking comes a sort of “pre-step” which is actually sitting down and figuring out exactly what the desires of your heart are. (We’ll go over that a little later.)

It says in Napoleon Hill’s classic book, “Think and Grow Rich“, that “The imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans created by man.”  “It has been said that man can create anything which he can imagine.”  This means that whatever you can “visualize” as being possible in your life, IF you believe, you can achieve it.

What is a belief? A thought that you repeat over and over until it turns into a belief.  All thoughts carry a Read More…

How to Publish Ebooks and Make Money Online

By Michelle Kulp on October 3, 2011

Would you like to cash in on selling your own eBook or eCourse online?  Selling eBooks and eCourses is a very profitable and easy way to get started making money online.  Let me explain…

Years ago, it was my dream to publish my book with a traditional “publisher” and see my books in bookstores everywhere.  In fact, in the early 90’s I sent out a manuscript (“Woman Take Hold of Your Power‘)  to about 50 Agents and/or publishers, only to receive back dozens of “rejection letters”.  Then one day the phone rang and it was a BIG New York Publisher.  I was so excited, I figured my persistence and due diligence had finally paid off.How to make money writing Ebooks

The man on the other end of the line introduced himself and then asked me some questions about what “credentials” I had to write this book.  In other words, he was looking for a Ph.D., after my  name.  I told him I had something better than a Ph.D., that I had “life experience” and that everything I wrote in that manuscript was from what I had lived.  He thanked me for my time and said that the writing was very good, however, because the publishing world is very competitive, that he couldn’t publish my manuscript without some credentials.  Mainly because it was a “self-help” book for women.

That phone call changed my life!  Up until that point, I really didn’t know how good my writing was.  Consequently, the NY publisher gave me the acknowledgement and validation that I needed at that time in my life.  I didn’t care that he wasn’t going to publish my book, because I knew my writing was good enough to “get” published, so I carried on with my dream.  I didn’t let that little speed bump stop me from my dream of making a living with my writing!

After a lot of research, I realized that Read More…

Time Management for Women Who Do Too Much

By Michelle Kulp on September 27, 2011

Let’s face it, women are born multi-taskers.  Ask a man to throw in a load of laundry and start dinner and he’ll probably respond, “And you want me to start dinner too?”  That’s because men’s brains are compartmentalized and women’s brains are not.  All the wiring is connected in a woman’s brain and this can be a blessing and a curse.  The curse is that we try to do too much (i.e., multi-tasking), but can often end up spinning our wheels and burning out. Time Management strategies for women is the answer.

Woman Multi TaskingI love what Timothy Ferris, the author of one of my favorite books, “The 4-Hour Workweek” says about being busy:

“Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions.  The options are almost limitless for creating “busyness”:  You could call a few hundred unqualified sales leads, reorganize your Outlook contacts, walk across the office to request documents you don’t really need, or fuss with your Blackberry for a few hours when you should be prioritizing.”

So the big question is:  Are you busy or are you productive?

Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow

By Michelle Kulp on September 19, 2011

One of my best friends who I’ve known since Junior High School was visiting this past weekend and we were talking about happiness.  She said that she was “content”, but not really happy.  So I asked a few more questions and discovered that since all 3 of her adult children were now moved out on their own, she was now by herself and was perhaps feeling a void in her life.  My friend said all she does is work, visit her grandchildren and help her dad take care of her mother who has health problems.  We got into a conversation about her work as an Addictions Counselor (which she has done for over 20 years) and she agreed that it wasn’t her “passion”, but it was a “good job” that paid the bills.

It’s not that I’m against good jobs that pay the bills, it’s just that I’m more for finding your passion and getting paid to play!

I’m working on an eBook right now titled “Never Work Again:  6 Secrets to Getting Paid to Play & Doing What You Love!”Never Work Again ebook

For my eBook, I’m interviewing Women who get paid to play and I wanted to share some of those stories with you today to give you inspiration and motivation that if you’re not feeling fulfilled in your career, that there is another way.  Here’s a few stories to give you some ideas as well as hope that you too can GET PAID TO PLAY!

Stop Chasing Your Dreams – Let Them Come to You

By Michelle Kulp on September 12, 2011

Who doesn’t remember the Great Oz in the Wizard of Oz?  That was one of my favorite movies of all time!Follow Your Dreams

Well, Oz controlled Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion with one thing – FEAR.  He had them searching all over Oz for the witch’s broom.  Finally, little Toto revealed the illusion.  He pushed back the curtain and there stood a small, fearful, and disillusioned old man.  There was no “Great Oz.”   In the end, everything they went searching for was inside of themselves anyway.  Dorothy had the power to get home.  The Lion discovered courage; the tin man found a heart; and the Scarecrow found a brain.

Are you like the characters in the Wizard of Oz?  Searching, searching, searching?  Searching for your purpose, searching for meaning, searching for answers, searching for understanding, searching for yourself.

Whatever it is you are looking for, stop chasing it.  Be still and let it come to you. It eludes you because you chase it.  You chase it because it eludes you.  Stop the madness.  If you’re in this chasing mode, chances are good that you are disconnected from your authentic self.

Eckhart Tolle, author of, “A New Earth:  Awakening to your Life’s Purpose” says that your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose.  “Your inner purpose is to awaken.  Awakening is a shift in consciousness in which thinking and awareness separate.”  Another word for awareness is:  Presence (consciousness without thought).  Being present in the moment.  The present moment is always simple, but concealed in the present moment lies the greatest power. Only when you align yourself with the present moment do you have access to that power.  So whatever you are doing, give it your fullest attention.

Eckhart Tolle says that your outer purpose can Read More…

What is a Mission Statement?

By Michelle Kulp on August 3, 2011

A mission statement is a written down statement of your “unique purpose” (talents/gifts) and “reason for being” (whom you came here to serve) that is key to finding your true path in life (resolving the Creative Tension Zone). 

Having a mission statement is important because it helps you get clear on Yes, No Maybe Decisionswhen to say “Yes” and when to say “No”.  Once you have your mission statement then when you have a choice to make you can ask yourself, “Will this bring me closer to achieving my mission or further from it?”  If it doesn’t bring you closer to your mission then you’ll learn how to say “NO” to things that may have previously been distracting you.

Did you know that during World War II, if an unidentified soldier appeared suddenly in the dark and was unable to state his mission that he would Read More…
