Life Success Blueprint Workshop

Life Success Blueprint
Workshop


November 8, 2008 in Fayetteville, AR!

A life changing Special Seminar for stressed out, multi-tasking, overwhelmed, exhausted, working moms who have NO TIME for themselves…  

 
“Revealed: How any time-starved working mom (you) can use a proven system to balance work and family, while CREATING room for YOU in your OWN LIFE again!”
 
                                         
It’s no accident……….I’ve built a successful career, raised a beautiful family, nurtured a passionate, intimate marriage and had TIME FOR MYSELF DAILY using this proven system……and you can use my exact same strategies to balance your life!

I’ll be sharing all my secrets, step by step, at my Life Success Blueprint Workshop this coming Fall in Fayetteville, AR 

But HURRY….our Early Bird pricing expires September 15th and seating is severely limited!
 

 
Dear Friend, 

Are you a successful working mom who……….

Is becoming
overwhelmed and exhausted from working all day, and then coming home and caring for everyone else all evening?

Has
wished for a few minutes for yourself each day, without guilt or feeling like someone else is missing out because you’re taking care of yourself for a moment?
 
Would like to
work more effectively in your career while easily finding the time you desire for yourself and your family?
 
Has ever wished for a
practical, easy, approach that’s been proven to work for career moms just like you?
 
Desires to get
back that joy for life and sense of fun that’s missing when you’re stressed and exhausted?

Well then, we need to talk!  I’m the
mother of 5, a successful entrepreneur and I have time for myself each day!  I truly understand the frustrations of trying to fit everything in as a busy, involved working mom and I’m pretty sure I know what you WANT in your life – a happy family, a fulfilling career and a space for YOU in YOUR life again!

I know because it’s what we all want!  And
it’s my passion to help you discover how to balance your life!  I’ve helped hundreds of women find balance between career, family and self and I want to help YOU, too!

Oh wait, I need to introduce myself.  My name is Kim Hodous and I’m the founder of Balanced Working Mom.  It’s a company I started because I saw so many women struggling to balance family and career……….let alone having some time for themselves in there! 
My life is a beautiful balance of my family, the work that fills me up and having the time and space to know who I am.  All these things in BALANCE are what I feel really allow me to live an extraordinary life………but it wasn’t always that way…..

Twelve years ago
I was a stressed out, overwhelmed, and exhausted high school history teacher.  I wasn’t doing a very good job of teaching (my apologies to all you former students who probably didn’t get the best education from me!), I was doing the best I could at mothering and I didn’t even consider the possibility of having extra time to exercise, go enjoy the company of friends, or to be with myself and pursue passions outside of my family or career as an option!

All I wanted to
experience was the joy of motherhood, combined with a fulfilling career and a life that had room for ME in it!  But all I felt was that I was getting beat up by responsibilities and obligations and impossible demands on my time every day…….

I knew I was smart enough to figure out how I could
continue to be connected to my family, engaged in work I love and have time for the relationships important to me – most especially my relationship with myself!

And so over the next few years I discovered the
MAGIC FORMULA that would transform my life forever………..

Now, let’s
FAST FORWARD to my life today………
 

Today, what a different story!  I have a life full of fun and joy and satisfaction.  I do work that fills me up and is way more like play thanwork!  I have a connected, loving family that supports each other. 
A marriage that’s hot!  And a true sense of who I am, because my priorities are what fill up my days…..not trivial, time consuming alternatives!

 
Today, my life is so much different!  You wouldn’t believe the difference.  Here’s a photo of me with my family now! 


The entire family during Spring Break in Hollywood, CA


We took the older kids to an outdoor adventure camp
in the hills of California in June!


 And isn’t this the kind of life we should all be living?

“So, HOW exactly did I transform my life like this?”
 
I bet right now you’re getting excited for me to share exactly HOW I transformed my life like this, and how YOU can to! 

Great!


First, let me tell what to NOT do……(remember, it wasn’t always like this for me and there’s been some trial and error!)

I did NOT go out and make any radical changes in my life.  I didn’t scrap all the things I was doing now and try to completely overhaul my life!

All I did was make a few subtle shifts in the way I managed my time, organized my family, prioritized my days and viewed my life!  

These few subtle shifts have not only helped me, but they’ve helped hundreds of women to find more balance and joy in their lives!
 

The KEY = LIFE MANAGEMENT….

Managing your life means managing your time, your to do’s, yourself and most importantly…..your
*beliefs about all of it*


The KEY to discovering how to manage a career, a family and my own life wasn’t that simple to figure out…….because I didn’t really know anyone successfully doing it!

You see, all the information I could find on time management came from men, and the information I could find on parenting came from psychologists or therapists..and the spiritual information, it came from ancient teachers (okay, so most of that still applies :)!)  

So over the past few years, I’ve spent countless hours figuring out a system that worked for me and women just like me:  busy, working moms who wanted to have a joyful life, too! 

This is a system that allows me to:


Prioritize my life so the important things in my life get handled first, not last (or never!).

Set my week up
for ease and grace, not stress, tension and dealing with crises!

Formulating my own SYSTEM that allows me to have
everything I need in one place for organization.

Get some help
so I’m not trying to be ‘supermom’ and doing it all myself

Teach my children about the things I value
, without preaching or lecturing

Put my
mindset in a place of joy, optimism and gratitude that sets me up for success. 

Now, I’ve GOT it!  I’ve got down a complete system that works together to create balance in women’s lives. 

And why do I, Kim Hodous, want to share it with you? 

Because I’m really tired of seeing you fed lies that we have to choose between family or career…..
 

“The truth is that you can HAVE IT ALL!  That you can have a fulfilling career, a family that’s close and strong, relationships that work and time for YOURSELF!” 

I don’t mean to get all riled up about this, but I want you to understand how passionate I am to get this information to you!

You see, I’ve noticed over the past few years that there are many people teaching time management, and there’s tons of parenting advice out there, and we see new books daily on ‘Power of positive thinking’ and the like, but  NO ONE ever really “connects the dots” for people. 

They teach you bits and pieces, from their perspective….but not the
‘whole picture’ from someone who’s lived it! 

It’s so sad seeing well-meaning, busy working moms continue to run on the ‘hamster wheel,’ scurrying in a circle,
buying this and reading that, and hoping the next instant breakfast or quick parenting solution will be the Holy Grail for her life! 

The problem is that they’re
not put together in a SYSTEM! 

And most importantly, they’re not put together in a system that’s designed
for a woman just like you – a career woman with a family! 

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES ARE DIFFERENT, and you know it.

Those guys are presenting strategies that work for men…….who have a wife to coordinate all the families needs or someone who chooses to work 70 hours a week because they have no family!  Or they’ve got something that would be great, if you were home all day!  But they’re not designed for women like us……busy, working moms who want some time for themselves, too!

“So when it comes to creating a life of balance for busy working moms, you need 2 things:         

The right strategies:

Ones that work for YOUR unique, busy life
 

 The right Perspective:
One that takes into account ALL aspects of your world!”

And this is EXACTLY what I will be revealing at my next…….   




Life Success Blueprint Workshop


Saturday, November 8, 2008

Fayetteville, AR

9:00 - 4:30
 
My LIVE, closed-door event is like no other seminar of it’s kind.  I’ve designed it specifically for busy, working moms just like yourself! 

It’s just me and all of you in a conference room for 7 1/2 full hours, during which I
bare all my secrets, tips and tricks……… 

…SECRETS on
how I turned my life around to one that now gives me two successful companies, a strong family, responsible children, an intimate marriage, plenty of time for myself and a joyful LIFE! 

(Because isn’t that what it’s all about?  Isn’t that why we had a family and pursue careers?  Because we want a fun, joyful life that fills us up!)  

Okay, before I go into sharing EXACTLY what you’ll learn at my
Life Success Blueprint Workshop, here are a few comments shared by women through an online survey asking what was their biggest challenge as a working mom: 

And see if any of them sound familiar to you………….
 

    * Guilt - either I feel guilty I'm working too late/too long/weekends, etc and not spending that time with my family OR the reverse - I'm going home on time or not working on the weekend when I KNOW I have to get something important done at the office. 

    * The stress of trying to spend quality time with my kids. Meal preparation, cleaning, shopping, and laundry in addition to my job responsibilities often get in the way. 

    * I work out of an office in the home. My biggest challenge is setting boundaries between work and home. It is my intension to work during the day when my twin boys are in school, but I often get side tracked with domestic chores. 

    * I only get one?! I guess all the issues I have stem from time management problems. That and getting my 2 year old to quit throwing his food.

    *  I would say managing my time between family, friends, work & volunteering. And then figuring out what to prioritize from a working perspective so that you can continue your climb to the top! For instance how much time should you spend on networking and relationship building....at the time it seems so counter productive but I'm thinking long term it might be what takes you to the top.
Well, guess what?  We’re going to touch on all of those in our day together! 

  Here’s just a SAMPLING of what you’ll discover when you attend my Fall, 2007 Life Success Blueprint Workshop…….   

1.  How to Prioritize your Life so the important things happen first!

Sometimes it feels like everything needs to be done now!  But does it really?  At the 2007 Life Success Blueprint Workshop you’ll discover how to fit everything in that needs to be done, but with the emphasis on the ‘top priorities’ for YOUR SUCCESSFUL LIFE!
 
2.  How to juggle all the small details so they get handled as well!

Going through the mail and feeding the dogs may not be the most important jobs of the day, but they still need to be done!  We’ll map out time for all those details to be handled as well.

3.  How to create a daytimer that’s customized to your LIFE and handles everything you need it to.

Your life is unique to you and your ‘Organization System’ needs to be unique to you!  We’ll create a customized daytimer to keep you on track!

4.   How to effortlessly co-ordinate family schedules so your kids’ needs are met without you going crazy!

They say 15% of stress comes from circumstances and 85% comes from people!  Well, we don’t want your family to be a source of stress – they’re the most important people in your world!  So I’ve got a magic bullet for co-ordinating family and business responsibilities!

5.   How to enlist help from your friends, your spouse and your children so you’re not ‘doing it all.’

No playing the martyr or the superhero here.  I’ve got some sure-fire ways to help you get everyone doing their fair share!

6.    How to make your children responsible for themselves so they grow up independent and financially aware.

It’s not your job to take care of everything for everyone.  Set it up so your kids can become responsible for themselves and their own needs.  Deal with the money issue one time a week!  No more handing out $5 and $20 bills all week long!

7.    How to make minor shifts in attitude so your life is one of gratitude and joy rather than stress and tension.

It’s the little things that mean a lot.  Making a few mental adjustments to your game can make life a lot more fun!
 
8.    How to dream again so you’ve got the life you desire!

No more just accepting what you’ve been handed and bearing your lot!  It’s time to rekindle those dreams and live the life you’ve always desired!
 
Wow!  That’s a lot to cover in one day!  But we do it………and
we have fun the entire time.

But there’s even more.  Get a load of what else is in store for you as a
2008 Life Success Blueprint Workshop attendee…… 

YOUR FREE BONUSES:
 

Bonus 1:  Your own Personal Life Success Blueprint Workbook!  You get a multi-section, 3-ring, information-packed binder that walks your through your one Life Success Blueprint in STEP-BY-STEP detail.  

Bonus 2:
  My Personal “Busy Mom’s Inspiration Rolodex.”  I’ve wasted tons of hours and lots of dollars trying to find the best resources and tools……….that didn’t work!  But that’s not failure.  It’s allowed me to give you inside referrals to people, books and tools that DO work, and can save you hundreds of hours and lots of moola! 

Bonus 3:
  Follow-Up Q & A Phone Session:  Two weeks or so after the event I will host a 60-minute open Q and A session by phone.  You can call in and ask any remaining questions you have or just listen to others’ questions and situations.  You’ll find this extremely valuable as some questions will ‘pop up’ as you go back home and begin to implement the strategies and tactics you’ve learned.  My private consulting rate is over $500 per hour, so this is a great added value!  

“Okay Kim, this sounds great.  So what’s my minimal investment to be handed this complete system for balancing my career, my family and the time I’m craving for myself?”
 

Because I’m going to be spending AN ENTIRE DAY with you, and I’m limiting the event to a small group of people, and it’s a true WORKSHOP where you get to make progress, complete exercises, integrate this plan with YOUR life, and ask questions right on the spot, I’m sure you can guess I’m not just giving it away! 

To put it in perspective, listen to this…….a full day workshop that only covers time management and is NOT geared specifically to working moms like you, can cost $199.00 – and you’d only walk away with a portion of the knowledge you needed to balance your life! 

Because I’m passionate about helping busy, working moms like you HAVE IT ALL, admission to my
2008 Life Success Blueprint Workshop is only $159!  (And only $129 if you register prior to September 15!) I know I could get away with charging much more, but I didn’t want to price-out any woman who really WANTS and NEEDS this information. (Besides, I know how expensive kids are!) 

Let me give you the biggest piece of advice that I learned from a wealthy mentor of mine. He was talking about business, but I think it applies here too.  He said,
“When you are considering an opportunity, don’t look at what it costs.  Look at what it’s worth to you!” 

That’s very sound advice! 

I can tell you the strategies, tips and tricks you’ll learn at this workshop are the
EXACT same ones I use to create balance and joy in my own life. 

What is that type of information worth to you? 

I hope it’s a “no brainer” that attending my
Fall, 2008 Life Success Blueprint Workshop will help you make the changes you need to create the life you desire! 

Well, I hope you can see that I’ve
poured my love, joy and heart into pulling all this information together in such detail with a fool-proof step by step format.  There really is NOTHING else out there like my Life Success Blueprint Workshop for busy, working moms! 

But if you’re still skeptical, I understand.  After all, this may be the first time you’ve really heard of me or this program.  So, let me put my money where my mouth is by offering………

 
My Personal "Make-You-Happy,
More-Than-Your-Money-Back,
All-the-Risk-Is-On-ME" Guarantee!
