Laurie is an accomplished manager in a large firm. She runs a great
team and consistently over delivers on her targets. This year she is
already $11 million past her budgeted revenue targets. Right on, Laurie!

Yet this competent professional disclosed how she has a real need to
please. She craves acceptance and approval. Laurie is also frustrated
with her boss who fails to recognise and appreciate her achievements.
And yet she also hates to stand out in a crowd.

Whoa - talk about conflicted intentions - a need for approval and a
fear of fame. No wonder she feels paralyzed. There's no career
advancement for Laurie while she struggles under the weight of these
hefty, draining vibes.

This is how we cleaned up the vibe and got massive turn-around
results.

Block Buster Tip #1: It's not about your boss.
For Laurie, the hardest thing to realise was that no amount of
complaining and worry was going to fix her boss. If things were going
to change, she had to change.

Together we exposed her real enemy: the beliefs that she was not
worthy and not good enough. With beliefs like that, who needs
enemies? Laurie was systematically sabotaging her own success
because of her 'unworthy' vibes.

We re-wrote those beliefs with some strong replacements: I am worthy.
I am good enough. I am fabulous.

We integrated the beliefs using a balancing methodology and presto,
Laurie was re-born as an independent, resilient professional. The
change was that fast and dramatic.

Block Buster Tip #2: Sometimes it is about your boss.
With Laurie all pumped up on knowing she was indeed worthy and
deserving of acclaim, she realized that her current workplace just did
not reflect her idea of a supportive workplace.

Laurie could either stay and try to turn the culture around, or leave.

Laurie chose to leave. She has since been employed by a competitor
for 30% more money, less pressure, and a boss that is fawning and
grateful for her work.

When Laurie got her beliefs, and thus her vibe, in resonance with her
desires, things just clicked.

The thing to note here too is that environments reflect your
dominant feeling vibration: once you change your vibration, you'll
notice a discord in the situation. You can either stay where you are
in that relationship, in that job, in that body), or you can open to new
possibilities.

Sometimes this means waiting for things change on their own, and
sometimes it means you take the plunge and move to a new
environment.

Whatever feels best for you is always the right answer.

Block Buster Tip #3: Stand up, tall poppy, no one is going to cut
you down...unless you let them.
The 'tall poppy syndrome' is known in Australia as the tendency to cut
people down who rise above their station. The fear of getting lambasted
keeps people firmly in their place, resisting the limelight.

This was definitely one of Laurie's issues. She wanted to be
acknowledged, but she did not want to be criticised. It kept her playing,
and feeling, small.

This fear of fame is like any other fear: there is an underlying belief
triggering it. Maybe you have a belief like, "If I am recognised, then
jealous people will criticise me", or perhaps, "If I am recognised then
people will find out I'm a fake."

Guess what happens with these types of beliefs? That's right, folks
full of venom and spite are drawn to you. They can feel your fear of
fame vibe. They hunt you down like dingos with a scent of blood.

Solution? Change the belief, change the vibe, and no more dingos
or tall poppy razor gangs dancing on your doorstep.

With fear of fame beliefs, there's a whopper of a belief in there like,
"I am a fake", or "I deserve to be punished." You'll know what it is
for you - it will push all your I-want-to-cry buttons.

For Laurie, the belief was "I'm not as good as the others". When we
started dissecting this one it did not take long for her to see how
unfounded this one was. After all, she was the company's star
performer.

With these types of beliefs, I suggest you tackle them head first by
working out how ridiculous they are. Byron Katie's the Work is a
fabulous strategy for this.

With your fear of fame reduced to nothing, you'll attract all the fame
and recognition you truly deserve and enjoy it too!

Laurie was able to soak up all the praise and appreciation she finally
did get from her boss as she was leaving: she stood tall and proud.
She knew in her bones that she deserved it.

Block Buster Tip #4: Your secret weapon -  the fame corner
In Feng Shui principles, each area of your home or office relates to
an aspect of your life.

The fame and reputation area is directly across from the entrance of
your office, in the middle of the far wall. It's associated element is fire,
and its colour is red.

Once you've dealt with your limiting beliefs and are in vibrational
resonance with fame, then you can revamp your office space with
these simple tips:

• Add something red to that area of the room. A photo, a piece of artwork, or even a little piece of red fabric will do. You can even paint the wall red there too.
• Place a candle in that area.
• Add images of what success means to you.

I added a small image of Pepe, the Goddess of Divine Passion - with
an erupting volcano in the background (lots of fire there!). What
happened?

• I was published in a book, Messages in a Bottle 2
• I was nominated recently for my writing in Compass Bearings by  the Avatar Awards
• I was added to Alexandria's Brown list of achievers on her Boost Business with Ezine program
• and my newsletter subscribers have soared.

Thank you, if you have been
one of the wonderful people who have
forwarded my newsletter to like-minded folks,
or sent me an email, or simply just read this as
it comes out.

You make it all worthwhile - so thanks for
being there!


Fame? With more readers, sales, and self-esteem, I'm a fan.

You can be too, Zoe!

To your success,

Zoe
