Is this the coolest couple or what?? Had a great time shooting the fabulous Richele & Lucas... Flipped Switches were had by all.

Do you ever get so caught up in life that you are desperate for some self-care?

Well, that was me over the last few weeks…  Between my birthday, launching a new virtual program with 130 people, and doing 7 full-day photo shoots…  I was WIPED.

So thankfully, three nights ago I made it in to get a massage.

It was absolutely DIVINE!  I was relaxed, dropped in, and felt like a brand new person…  And here’s the cool thing.  I went to the very spa where I used to be a massage therapist 7 years ago.  (Burke Williams in Santa Monica, for those of you familiar with LA!)

So you can get the visual…  Can you picture me here, in black?

Yup, I wore that very same, pretty awful outfit.  (I always did feel like a gym teacher gone awry.  And the best part is…  I even had to have a ‘spa name’, and so for a number of years I was exclusively known as “Maya” at work.  Imagine?

Now when I got my massage last night…  My masseuse happened to be someone I knew when I was there.  Her massage was wonderful, and transported me to far off places …  And yet, I couldn’t help but have moments of feeling HORRIFIED wondering what MY life would have been like if I was still working there…  SEVEN years later.

I would have been just like my lovely massage therapist…  Thinking about what new bodywork modality I would train in next to add to my repertoire for my massage practice.

:/

It was a very strange sensation to remember that lifestyle so well…  Yet at the same time, feel no connection to it at all.

And so obviously, I had some profound moments of appreciation for how far I’ve come!  It’s amazing to me to think that what I used to make in a year back then…  I have made in a month now.  Heck, I actually made more than that during the free call of my most recent launch, in 20 MINUTES…  How wild is that?

And so all I have to say is…  Bless my Ecstatic Brand.

Bless the fact that I got the mentoring I needed to bust out of one lifestyle and into another.

Bless the fact that I weathered all my meltdowns, dramas, and Resistances with a capital R.

Bless the fact that I found a way to bring all my gifts together and create a career that didn’t exist yet.

And Bless the fact that I decided to learn about business.

Yes, I needed to learn about business…  I couldn’t magically WISH my way into a life of prosperity as I often did as my healer self…  No, there was an education needed to learn about something with which I had absolutely no experience.

Every person has certain channels that are wide open for them.

For example, my Spiritual channel is very well-developed…  As is my channel of creativity.  But my Business channel?  Nope…  That one was just about non-existent.  And since I was determined to step fully into my power and mission on the planet in this lifetime…  Then I needed to be firing on ALL cylinders, and take the time to OPEN this business channel.

Back in my hippie/healer/BurningMan days, I wouldn’t have batted an eyelash at another training in a new healing modality…  But why hadn’t I thought to do that around business?  Why?  Well, thank goodness I changed that story 2 1/2 years ago.  And now…

I get to go back to the spa I used to work at and be on the RECEIVING end as a client.  And that is a nice place to be, indeed.

So how about you?  What channels are already open for you…   And what channels need to be OPENED?

Spirituality?
Relationships?
Health?
Creativity?
Purpose?
Sensuality?

I invite you to make sure YOU are firing on all cylinders too, and take the time to open what isn’t yet.  Because if you do…  Your life might look unrecognizable in 7 years too.

Someone asked me a question recently…  “How do you reach out to get all those great speaking engagements for yourself, and all the Telesummits too?”

And then it hit me…

I couldn’t tell them.

Not because I wasn’t willing to share my success steps with friends and colleagues…  Of course, I was.  But really, it was because of this:  I have never actually reached out to get a speaking engagement for myself. Not once.  Instead…  They have all come to me.  (International ones too!)

And I have to tell you…  I like it this way.  :)

To me… This is the beauty of doing business in the feminine. You become absolutely magnetic and then the opportunities find YOU.  And the way I am able to do this, is through the power of my Personal Brand.

Let me explain…

When a woman gets super clear on her purpose, and how all her gifts come together into one unique offering…  Something happens.  There’s a ‘click’ where all the disparate pieces of herself come into one alignment, and yes…  A switch literally gets flipped.  And when this happens, she become a Beacon…  And a beacon is a radiantly lit being who is attract-ive, and magnetic.

Ann Richeda of http://nourishingvitality.com/ Flips Her Switch to become a Beacon!

You can become a beacon too! All you need to do is get clear on what makes you unique, get over any visibility issues, and turn your gifts into a viable offering in the marketplace.

Let me tell you how I have benefitted by having a clear personal brand.

• By the end of November…   I will have had 9 speaking engagements this year.  And three were international!
• At just one of these speaking engagements…  I grossed $20K of revenue after being on stage for 75 minutes.
• At another of these speaking engagements…   I’ve been asked to emcee for three days, on top of a speaking slot, in front of an audience of 200.   (I have never emcee’d before, and the person who asked me only met me once!)
• I have also been a part of 8 amazing Telesummits in the last 2 months too.

Now…  I am not sharing all this to brag.  (Although to be honest…  I do think bragging is underrated.  :)  But hey, that’s another story…  Ask me to tell you more about that another time.)

Instead…  I am sharing all this so that you can see how powerful it is to be clear in your personal brand.  And how much it could be costing you to stay confused and unclear.

Each time I was invited to speak, they wanted me to share about Flipping Your Switch, Embodying Your Brand, or how to bring together all your gifts to create a career that doesn’t exist yet.  They felt like these topics would be a good fit for their audience, and there wasn’t any one else out there is talking about them quite like I do.

And get this…  You too have expertise that no one else is talking about. Do you know that?  You only need to get clear, and to own and embody it.

Are you ready?

If so…  Then I wanted you to know that due a number of great speaking engagements coming up…  I will be coast to coast, and international too.

And this means, I have room in my upcoming schedule for a few slots of VIP Days outside of LA.

• This week I will be in Philadelphia.
• Next week I will be in San Francisco.
• And at the end of the month, it looks like I will be in the UK.

If you feel like you’d like some support to get clear on YOUR personal brand, and move through any blocks or visibility issues… And if you’re ready to create a career that doesn’t exist yet.  And if you know you’re meant for something big, but don’t quite know what it is…

The photographs I use in my business are 8 months old.

Eight months seems like absolute ages ago…  I have changed so much!  It has felt like the photos are actually of a different woman…  And they definitely carry a different frequency to who I am now.

And so I have been thinking about getting new photos done for awhile now.  I had hoped to connect with an old photographer friend of mine while I was in London for new shots, but that didn’t quite work out…  And then, last week I heard from an old fashion photographer friend from my NYC days who happened to be in town, and he could photograph me on Friday.

Friday?  You mean, three days away?

Oiy.

Well, my intuition said to go for it anyway…  And so I did.

Keep in mind…

* I wasn’t really clear on the next evolution of my brand.

* I wasn’t sure I had the right dresses.

* And I desperately needed a haircut.  :)

However…

I know firsthand how transformational a photo shoot can be.  I have watched it happen over and over again for dozens of my clients…  And so I trusted my intuition was leading me in the right direction, and that I would get exactly what I needed.

And so….  I booked a haircut for Thursday afternoon…  Made it to the mall afterward, and found 3 amazing dresses in an hour at Nordstrom….  And had a moment of inspiration which said the next evolution of my brand was “Badass Elegance”.

And so here you have it.

Um….  Can you say UPLEVEL YOUR BRAND, much?

There is something magical that happens on a photo shoot…  It’s like the quantum leap in your soul that knows you’re here for something big, and that you might as well be living that already, gets activated in a very streamlined fast-track kind of way, and BAM…  You’re suddenly there.

I might call that Embodiment…  But the words above describe it viscerally.

As the photo shoot goes along, you can actually feel it…  It’s like every fiber of your being starts to vibrate a little differently, and your molecules get re-arranged and tuned to a higher frequency.

And that higher frequency translates into UPLEVELING YOUR BRAND.

And this, my friends, translates into more high-end clients.

It also translates into:

*  More confidence in who you are and what you have to offer.

*  A great marketing campaign ~ Freshen up your ezine, fb page, and blog with new pictures!

*  And, get more comfortable with your Feminine Side.

I haven’t found anything else quite like it myself…  You can TALK about upleveling…  But it’s not until you go through the experience of picking out new clothes, having your makeup done, embodying your brand, and posing like a rock star that you GET IT INTO YOUR BONES.

That’s what happened for me…  It was great for me to go through it all again so that I could remember how much actually happens…  I mean, I’ve had one client who even told me she “lived differently afterward”.

And so all of this inspired me so much, that I have opened up space in my calendar for 5 of my photo shoot + coaching packages.

*  Get clear on your personal brand

*  Work through visibility issues

*  Atrract attention from high-end clients

If you’re ready to uplevel your brand, you can grab one of the 5 slots here: http://christinamorassi.com/star/

My last photo shoot 8 months ago happened to be in the middle of my biggest month of revenue yet.

Coincidence?  I don’t think so…   Because you can also hear from my client Silvia Johnson of http://outsidethecubicle.com/ who had a similar experience.

There are lots of ways for us to build our businesses that require hard work and sweat equity.  Well, having your own photo shoot can accomplish the same quantum leaps, but with a lot of fun instead.

That’s how I want to live my life…  How about you?

It was finally time for ME to have a photo shoot again!  It’s been 8 months since my last one, and I feel like I have changed so much.  I want to make sure my photos hold the frequency and feeling of my current brand!

Come along for the journey behind-the-scenes starting from my new haircut, to getting makeup done, to the actual shoot, and meet my photographer too.

Two years ago… I was a broken record.

For an entire summer, I walked around mumbling…

“I’ve got all these gifts, but I don’t know how they come together.”

And then there was a b-side to that broken record too, which said… “And I DEFINITELY don’t how to make money doing them, or who would pay me for it.”

Right?

Who’s feeling me on this one?  :)

I know this place so well… I mean, it can be SO frustrating to have a sense deep down that you know you’re here for something big… But not know how to get there.

Well, here’s the thing….

Most people can’t get there on their own. I sure couldn’t…. And you may be the same.

Think about it… If you’re here to birth something big into the world, then that’s going to an awfully big baby… And, it makes sense that you would need some assistance, a midwife, to help you.

An outside eye can be such a valuable gift to help you see the bigger picture… And, to guide you to the life that’s been waiting for you ~ on purpose and prosperous.

That’s what happened for me… That fall after my summer of mumbling, I finally managed to find the right mentor, and the right program, and with her help…. I found a way to bring all my gifts together. My background as a fashion photographer, combined with my background in the healing arts, to launch a business of transformational photography supporting women entrepreneurs to Embody Their Brand.

Now, who could have seen that coming? Certainly not me… Without her help, I wouldn’t have had a clue on how that all came together… And then, I would have been just another heart-centered idealist with a great idea…. Who was struggling with money, and frustrated by the lack of clarity on her mission.

I wasn’t satisfied with that. Are you?

And now… I look back and am so glad I took that major leap because my life looks radically different from 2 years ago.

* I used to live in a converted garage with my husband, and now we live in a lovely high-rise in Marina Del Rey stocked with amenities.

* I was a starving healing artist then, and now I’ve made in one month what I used to make in a year.

* I wasn’t able to travel then because of money, and last month I just got back from a month in the UK working with amazing clients.

All of this came about because I trusted I was here for something big, knew I had gifts that made me unique, and was willing to invest in getting help to figure it out.

Are you ready to do the same?

If so… Let me know.

NOTHING makes me happier than when one of my coaching clients gets wind of her true mission on this planet. Sometimes the discovery can come as bit of a surprise… Yet almost always, their whole body exhales with a deep knowing that says, “Wow… Of course.”

I want to help people like you eliminate the frustrations I went through. So… I’m making myself available with free consultations to the people who may be looking for help on how to bring together all their gifts, and are ready to invest in the process. You don’t have to know how it all works… You only have to be hungry and ready.

If this resonates for you… Then go to http://christinamorassi.com/brandingsession/ to apply for one of the available slots for free consultations. Let’s have a conversation to dig into your gifts, and see if I might be a fit to support you.
