Summary: Katie Freiling
Helping Entrepreneurs Create Wealth from the Inside Out
This is a very special post here today... I'm going to talk about
something that has incredible power to transform your life and help
you truly own your greatness... But first, I have an update to
share with you :) I'm writing this email to you today from Italy!
Traveling to Italy has always been a dream of mine... and I feel so
grateful to be here right now! I know, I know... I totally
caught the traveling bug... and I'm absolutely loving it! Not only
has traveling around the world been fun and adventurous, but it's
also been an incredible personal growth opportunity as well. I feel
as though I've accelerated through years of transformation and
healing just in the last few months alone! Whether your dream is to
travel the world too, open up a retreat center in South America, or
simply experience the peace and comfort of having true abundance in
your life... It's ALL possible. And I'm committed to helping you
create the life that is deeply fulfilling to you. I know you
haven't been hearing a whole lot from me lately... but just know
that I'm still here and I think about you a LOT. And over the next
month, I'm going to be investing my time in a month long course
here in Italy that will help me create a much bigger impact in YOUR
life and a bigger impact for the planet. I'm so excited :)
I'm in Northern Italy right now spending time with one of the
world's largest intentional eco-communities. They are at the
cutting edge of sustainability in areas of science, technology,
economics, ecology, permaculture, and community collaboration. They
are also very committed to music, the arts, and universal
spirituality. I'm here taking a month long course (curriculum
developed by an amazing company called "Gaia Education") on how to
create and innovate empowered, sustainable, and collaborative
communities on the planet, focusing on 4 main areas: Spirituality
(and shifting to a holistic worldview), Social collaboration,
Ecology, and Economics. It's a holistic education that can be
applied to many areas of transformation and positive change, both
locally and globally. I'm going to be learning about the most
effective tools, strategies, and ideas for creating successful
communities, along with some of the most cutting edge sustainable
solutions that currently exist in the world... And right now, the
plan is to integrate this knowledge with the power of the internet
to help create and unite communities all over the globe who are
committed to their own personal transformation, as well as
collaborating together to co-create a more thriving, loving, just,
and sustainable world for ALL. There's an unbelievable amount of
power in collaboration, and so many exciting possibilities ahead!
:) So definitely stay tuned because I'll be sharing much more about
this as this vision crystalizes and moves forward! Now, let's talk
about helping you manifest YOUR dreams... In order for you to take
efficient and powerful action towards your dreams and goals, you
must first become powerful yourself... and in order for you to
really own your full, true power, it's vital for you to LOVE and
accept ALL of who you are. Self love is the foundation for success
in life and is truly the KEY to unlocking the love, power, wisdom,
and fulfillment that we all desire most deeply. For me, this has
been an ongoing journey for quite a few years now... and I've come
to discover that the more I'm able to love and accept myself, the
more clear, powerful, free, and loving I am. When we come from a
place of wholeness in life, where we love and accept all of who we
are, we are able to access more of our true power and potential in
all ways. Self love is also the bridge that allows us to feel and
experience our interconnectedness with all of life. And the more
connected we feel within ourselves and with others, the more love
and joy we invite into our lives. Now, there are some people in our
world (and you may be one of them) who would initially perceive
self love as narcissistic or selfish... or even maybe that it's
just airy fairy talk that doesn't really produce any real results
in life. But I'm here to share with you today that this is
literally THE most important and life transforming thing you can
ever do for yourself, your loved ones, and the planet. The more you
are able to love yourself, the more love you have to give and share
with others. Not only that, but the more you love yourself the more
you can RECEIVE love from others and the world. Most people have a
very hard time receiving love, and therefore experiencing love,
because their hearts are closed. I, myself, have definitely been
one of them. And it's been the journey of going deeper into self
love that has allowed my heart to open more and more, expanding my
experience of love in all ways. This journey to rediscovering the
love within our own hearts is what I also call the journey of
healing. It's about healing and releasing the built up self
judgements, pain, blockages, and walls that we've put up, that keep
us from feeling and experiencing the love that is already there
within us. To heal means to become whole. And when we come from a
place of wholeness, we open ourselves up to the totality of this
beautiful, majestic universe! Now, with that being said, it's
important to understand that we are already whole and always have
been... it's just our self perception that keeps us from
experiencing our wholeness, or our true greatness. When we judge a
part of ourselves as bad, not acceptable, ugly, wrong, or not good
enough, we literally "disown" that aspect of ourselves. We
avoid it because it hurts to feel it, and we end up hiding it from
others, and ourselves. Whatever we cannot love and accept
about ourselves becomes part of our shadow... You can think of your
shadow as the part of yourself you do not want to see. It's
like having a dark basement inside of yourself where all of the
"unacceptable" parts get stored away to hopefully be forgotten
about. Because we don't accept what's in our own basement, we
automatically assume that others won't accept it either. So
we expend so much energy, both consciously and unconsciously, to
hide pieces of ourselves we don't love and accept in order to be
loved and accepted by others. We show only the parts we think
will get the love and approval we're seeking. And so, we
show up in life, not as ALL of who we are, but as a fragmented
version of who we "think" we are... as a representation of a
distorted self image. And what we throw away in the basement never
actually goes away. In fact, it starts collecting so much
dust and grime, that it starts to cloud our perception, our filter
through which we see the world. And when we perceive
unclearly, we create a whole lotta unncessary hurt and drama in our
lives. What we don't accept about ourselves, we can't accept in
others. So if we see that similar trait in another, we'll
judge it and most likely get very triggered by it. We will
also be unconsciously projecting this part of ourselves onto others
and the world... and whatever we project, gets reflected right back
to us. So the more we try to hide and disown our shadow, the
more we see our shadow reflected back to us through other people
and our life experience. Simply put, the "monster" in the basement
will keep showing up again and again in various forms until we have
the willingness and courage to turn on the light and look at it.
Life is beautifully designed to give us exactly what we need to
grow, evolve, and become more of who we already are.
Experiencing our own shadow reflected back to us is the
perfect way for us to heal and wake up to what's really true...
it's the opportunity to bring whatever's in the darkness into the
light so we can truly own our greatness and experience the beauty
of our wholeness. In my life experience, there have been many
things I stored away in my inner basement that I wasn't able to
love and accept about myself. And most of these things were self
judgments that started in childhood and adolescence. In fact, much
of our self image is sourced from these younger life experiences,
when we really don't have a strong solid foundation for
understanding who we really are at all. When I was a young child, I
formed the perception that I was ugly... I had red hair, pale skin,
and freckles, which to me looked much different than everyone else
around me. So growing up, I felt ugly, unworthy, and had very low
self esteem. Once I became a teenager and started wearing
makeup, I was so happy to finally be able to "look prettier" and
hide my true face. Makeup became a mask that made me feel
better about myself from the outside... and after time, that mask
became my identity... I could finally see myself as "beautiful",
according to society's standards anyway. Once I started wearing
makeup, I never left the house without it. It became my safety
blanket. So deep down, I really didn't feel authentically
beautiful, no matter how much makeup I had on or how many
compliments I would get on my appearance. Deep down, I had a
dark secret that no one else knew about... my secret was that I was
still "ugly" underneath it all. Over the years, I've been able to
love and accept more and more of who I am, recognizing and honoring
the unique expression of the Divine that is me... including
different aspects of my appearance, personality, and core feelings
of worthiness. But it wasn't until last month that I had one of the
most liberating and transformative experiences of really
discovering my true beauty like I never had before... I went to a 5
day retreat up in the beautiful forests of Northern California.
And when I arrived at the retreat, I was asked to give my
cell phone, car keys, and makeup to the retreat leader for the
entire 5 days! At first I was really nervous and even
upset... I was being asked to do one of THE most vulnerable things
I could do at that time... not wear makeup for an entire 5 days and
really face one of my biggest insecurities. But deep down, I was so
GRATEFUL... I knew this was exactly the experience my soul had been
asking for. Now, I understand that for you, this may not seem like
a big deal at all... but for me, it was extremely challenging.
I really started to see how much of my sense of self was
still wrapped up in my outer appearance. Even though I had done so
much deep inner work on other things throughout my life, this
seemingly "superficial" challenge really stung at my core. When I
first took the makeup off, a part of me was still hiding
energetically... not wanting to fully be seen out of fear of not
being accepted. But I saw that this fear was only there because I
had not fully come to love and accept myself. I allowed myself to
feel all of the self judgment, the self condemnation, and the pain
I was hiding inside about feeling ugly. And then, I
consciously decided that I was going to make peace with myself...
that I was going to fully love and accept myself just as Creator
made me. I shared my vulnerability with the other people at
the retreat, and even broke down crying in front of them. I
let my guard down, and set my emotions free... emotions that had
been trapped inside since I was a child. And after the 5 days was
over, I felt like I got in touch with my true inner beauty more
deeply than I ever had before... a beauty that sparkles and shines
so deep inside, beyond any self image I could dream up. And
the liberation I felt from it was life changing. I had been
keeping myself enslaved by holding onto this deep dark secret from
my childhood that was something I had completely made up in the
first place. I needed this experience to truly have a breakthrough
into deeper self love. And I'm so grateful for it! It
was one of those lingering "monsters" in the basement that I was
finally able to face and set free. And honestly, I'm not ready to
never wear makeup again... In fact, I really do enjoy it. So I
still choose to wear it, but it's from a different place now...
Instead of wearing makeup because I feel like I have to, I wear it
from a place of loving and honoring myself for who I am. It's
become a ritual of self love rather than a ritual of hiding. It's
been so empowering and liberating! Thank you so much for listening
to my story here today and allowing me to share my vulnerability
with you... I'm sharing all of this to show you what's possible
when you face your shadow, those parts of yourself you don't love
and accept, and truly choose to embrace ALL of who you are. It's
such an important and very personal journey for all of us to embark
on. And again, this is the KEY to wholeness... and coming from
wholeness is what will allow you to live and experience your true,
unbounded potential. So I encourage you to also go through this
process of going deeper into self love. To keep it simple, here's
what I suggest doing: 1. Ask yourself: "What am I not
loving or accepting about myself? What do I believe about
myself that would be so embarrassing or horrifying if anyone found
out? What am I hiding in my shadow?" 2. Choose one
answer (belief) for now and give yourself the time and space to
fully FEEL it. Most likely, you've been avoiding feeling the
pain, guilt, embarrassment, shame, anger, or fear that's associated
with this belief you have about yourself, so it's going to take
courage to face it... to fully feel the emotions you've had locked
away for quite some time. But you need to allow yourself to
fully feel these emotions if you want to move through them,
otherwise they'll stay locked up in the basement, becoming a wall
that keeps you from really feeling the love you have inside. Let
those tears flow if that's what's real for you! 3. Inquire
into what's really true. Is this belief or judgment you've had
about yourself really true? And before your mind jumps in to
validate your unworthiness and tell you it's true... I really
suggest reflecting deeply on this. Take some deep breaths, feel
into your body, and consciously get in touch with who you are
beyond the physical. You may even want to close your eyes and
visualize being able to see yourself from a bird's eye view.
When you see and feel the bigger, more expanded YOU, your
self judgment will start to naturally fall away. You'll start to
see that any self image you have of yourself is simply an image
that you made up in the first place! It's not who you really are :)
4. Embrace, love, and accept ALL of you! Your judgment
about yourself may not be true, but the part of yourself you've
been judging is still a part of YOU! So love and embrace it
fully! For example, my self judgment about being ugly without
makeup isn't true... yet I still love and embrace who I am and what
I look like, with or without makeup. So maybe for you there's
something you did in your past that you judge yourself for... and
feel guilty over. You can inquire into the judgments you have
about yourself of being a terrible person, etc. etc. until you can
see that none of them are true. Then, choose to fully
forgive, love, and embrace all of yourself, even the part you
judge. You can do this by breathing and feeling into your
heart, and allowing your heart to expand with love. Give this love
to yourself and especially to that part of yourself you've been
disowning. I'd even suggest making this a regular practice to
really sink into deeper self love and acceptance. 5. This is
optional, but HIGHLY recommended... Find someone in your life that
you love, trust, and feel safe with and muster up the courage to
share this part of your shadow with them. Choose to be vulnerable
and you'll see that it's your willingness to be vulnerable that
truly helps set you free. In sharing this with another, the belief
you've had about yourself loses its power... and in turn, you also
help the person you're sharing with heal as well. This is because
we're all human, and we can all relate to each other through our
humanness... so even though we all have different life experiences,
beliefs, and insecurities on the surface, deep down, they all have
the same roots. So in choosing to be vulnerable, you give your
loved one permission to do the same :) And the ripple effect of
embracing true self love and acceptance will grow and expand,
reaching more and more people. This kind of deep emotional sharing
and healing is just one of the many powerful possibilities of
coming together in community. When we stop fragmenting ourselves
and choose to fully love and accept ourselves ALWAYS and ALL-WAYS,
we embrace our wholeness, our greatness. And we start to experience
the depth, beauty, and magnificence of who we really are, beyond
any self image we can ever conceive of. Imagine that you are like a
prism... when you refuse to accept all of your many sides, the
aspects of yourself you don't accept will build up layers of dirt.
And when you shine a light through a dirty prism, you'll get
a fragmented, incomplete rainbow on the other side. But when you
choose to go into your shadow with courage (into your inner
basement) and look at those sides to yourself you haven't been
accepting, choosing to fully embrace all of who you are... you
become bright, shiny, and complete again. Then, when the light of
life shines through, you're able to reflect a magnificent, whole,
and beautiful rainbow. This is who you are, your true
greatness. And it's your birthright to be ALL of you! :) And
the more we embrace our wholeness, the more we able to love and
accept others for who they are. We start to discover as well that
our wholeness actually INCLUDES the other. We are all intimately
interconnected... and in healing the walls of separation within
ourselves, we also help to heal the walls of separation in the
world. I hope this post was impactful for you today. Truly reflect
on it, let it sink in, and make the commitment here and now to
always love and accept who you are. Again, it's the most loving
thing you can do for yourself, for others, and the world! Ciao for
now! Talk to you again very soon... Love, [signature] P.S. If you

Happy 2012! It’s that time of year again… where we have the
opportunity to create a fresh new start for a fresh new year!
Rather than setting unrealistic goals or new years resolutions that
almost never make it into February… I’m inviting you to join me
today in a journaling exercise to help bring true clarity and power
to your intentions for 2012. :-) As I was doing my own
preparations for the New Year, there were 3 questions that came to
mind… and instead of answering them privately in my journal, I’ve
decided to share my answers here with you. As you read this
post here today, I encourage you think about your own answers… and
then share them in the comment box down below. This way,
we’ll inspire each other to go deeper and think bigger! And of
course, putting things in writing helps to clarify your thoughts
and “make real” your intentions. Plus, it’s gonna be a lot of
fun! Ok, so let’s get started…
Question #1: In reflecting on
this last year, what am I truly grateful for?
Expressing gratitude is so important for so many reasons… it gets
you into your heart, focuses your attention on the positive, and
opens the door to creating even more positive, loving, and
fulfilling life experiences. It’s so true that you get what
you look for… so the more you look for the blessings in life, the
more blessed your life will become! :-) For me, 2011 was
definitely a year of major growth… Even though I experienced
challenges in my relationships, in my business, and in moving
through old patterns and insecurities, I’m so grateful for ALL of
it. I learned so much about myself this year, becoming even
more aware of who I really am and what I truly want in life.
Each challenge was a wake up call to look deeper, become more
authentically connected, and make choices that are in full
alignment with my inner truth. And of course, I’m incredibly
grateful for the successes I’ve had this year, both personally and
professionally. With the launch of “CASH IN ON YOU” over the
summer, I broke my record for my most successful product launch
yet. I’m also so grateful for the beautiful friends I have in my
life, for my family, and for all of the people I’ve connected with
over this last year. I’ve learned so much about what being in
“true relationship” means and have become more aware of the
multitude of blessings that are present within each relationship,
each connection... whether it’s someone I meet in a café and only
talk to for 20 minutes, or a friend I’ve known for years. I’m so
grateful for YOU… and for all of the people I’ve been able to reach
through the incredible power of the Internet. Thank you for
reading my posts, watching my videos, opening my emails, and
staying committed to your own personal and professional
development. This next year is going to be EPIC… and I can’t
wait to share more about my new plans for 2012! In August of this
year, I got the opportunity to travel to Ecuador and into the heart
of the Amazon rainforest. That trip changed my life… and I’m
in such gratitude for every moment of it. I felt a deep,
cellular connection to the Earth and to Mother Nature unlike
anything I’ve experienced before. It opened my heart, fueled
my spirit, and connected me to a deeper part of my life’s purpose
that I wasn’t even aware of before. There’s definitely more
to come about this! In October, I moved out of my place in San
Diego, put all of my stuff in storage, and decided to embark on a
spiritual, solo journey throughout Bali, Malaysia, Australia… and
now possibly New Zealand and Hawaii. As I’m writing this, I’m
currently on a plane from Perth (Western Australia) to Sydney to
celebrate the New Year with some Aussie friends of mine. This
trip has been absolutely life changing as well... and I’m so
incredibly grateful for having the opportunity to make a dream like
this come true. I feel like I’m in the process of transforming from
a caterpillar to a butterfly… and this year has been the “cocoon”,
the catalyst, for my biggest life transformation yet! Thank
you, thank you, thank you Spirit! What a blessing 2011 has
been!
Question #2: In
reflecting on this last year, what am I consciously letting go
of? This question is going to require some deep
self-reflection and honesty… Most people are unhappy or unsatisfied
with aspects of themselves or their lives, but will avoid taking
responsibility for it… or they’ll pretend it’s not there and
continue on living in old patterns and habits that they know deep
down are not in alignment. It’s so important to take a good look at
ourselves and the lives we’re creating, objectively observe what’s
working and what’s not without judgment or criticism, and take
responsibility for all of it. We can’t change what we aren’t
willing to see. And when we take full responsibility, without
blaming or justifying, we empower ourselves to become the
“change-makers” of our own lives. In choosing to let go of
what’s no longer working or serving us, we clear out the “static”,
hit the re-set button, and make space for what we DO want to make
it’s way through. For me, I’ve become aware of old self-sabotaging
habits that I’m now choosing to consciously let go of. For
starters, I have an old childhood habit of being quite messy and
unorganized, even though I feel SO much better when my life and
everything in it is in order. So, instead of letting things
pile up to the point of frustration and then judging myself for it,
I’m choosing to let go of this old pattern and committing to being
organized. This past year, I've also become more keenly aware of
those moments in life where I'm being "hard on myself". This
comes from self judgment and comparing myself to an expectation of
how I think I "should" be. So when I notice this old habit
arising, I'm committed to loving and accepting myself
unconditionally... and turning self-defeating thoughts into
self-affirming ones. I truly feel that one of the most
powerful things we can do for ourselves in life is "have our own
back". Just like you would unconditionally support a child
or a best friend, it's so important to do the same thing for
ourselves! I’m also choosing to let go of the old habit of
“over-thinking” decisions. Often, I’ll think and re-think and
analyze and re-analyze to the point of exhaustion. And I know
that clearly, over-thinking thoughts is NOT the way to
clarity! So I’m choosing to let go of this old habit and
committing to listening to my FEELINGS instead, especially when it
comes to making decisions. When I do tune in to my body, and
follow my feelings, that’s when true wisdom and clarity emerges,
and I'm in a state of flow rather than struggle. :-)
Question #3: Who am I
committed to being in 2012? Although I do
believe goal setting is important, I also know that there’s
something even more important that actually determines whether or
not we even meet our goals… and that’s our
way of
being. It’s who we are choosing to be, and how we
show up, in each and every moment, that matters. You could have a
“goal” of making a 5 figure monthly income this year... but if you
shy away from challenges and don't muster up the courage to go
where it's uncomfortable, you're unlikely to ever make that goal a
reality. You've got to commit and re-commit to
being
courageous again and again in order to be the successful
entrepreneur you want to be. So for me, I’m definitely committed to
being courageous without hesitation, especially when it comes to
doing things I've never done before. This next year, I'm
going to be walking down a new path in many ways... so in
maintaining my commitment to being courageous, I know that not only
will I reach my goals much faster, but I'll also be liberating
myself from old fears along the way. I’m also committed to being an
inspired action taker. I love to journal, I love to come up
with ideas, I love to envision, to dream, to see possibilities… but
unless all of that is balanced with action, it won’t come to
fruition and create the impact that I know is possible. So
I’m committed to being in balance as an “inspired action taker”…
taking time everyday to stay connected and inspired AND taking
action steps everyday to bring my ideas and visions into
manifestation. I’m also committed to being non-judgmental and
compassionate. I know that when I judge others, it’s really
just a projection of something “unresolved” within myself that I
still judge. So in choosing to be non-judgmental to myself,
I’m naturally non-judgmental with others, and vice versa.
When I choose non-judgment, I’m able to see the truth more clearly…
and the underlying innocence and beauty that lives at the core of
every human being, no matter what they are saying or doing.
In seeing people for who they really are, compassion arises
naturally… and then, not only do I feel more connected, but I’m
giving the gift of true connection to others as well. Well, there
you have it! This is my New Years journal entry for creating
a prosperous and fulfilling 2012. Now it’s your turn!
In the comment box down below, I encourage you to write at least
one answer for each question. I’d LOVE to hear from you and I
know that others who are reading this post would love to as
well! Let’s make this a community-inspired exercise and
share our commitments with each other for clarity, accountability,
and support. And remember, when you write things down, they
solidify and become real! When you’re done leaving a comment,
please take a few seconds and share this post with your friends on
Facebook and Twitter. Let’s get them in on this! :-)
Thanks so much for spending this time with me here today!
Happy New Year! Let’s make this the most MAGICAL year yet!
Love and light, [signature]

Story telling is truly at the CORE of our human experience... the
stories we tell create and shape our world. As young children, we
LOVE having our parents or teachers tell us stories... When we're
watching a movie or reading a novel, it's the power of the story
that touches, moves, or inspires us. And if you think about
it, everyone and everything has a story to tell... The universe has
it's infinite stories of creation. Every single person
has their unique life stories that make up who they are today.
Art, dance, music, and every other creative expression has a
story behind it. And as an entrepreneur, whether you are writing,
speaking, or simply having a conversation with a friend or business
partner, story telling is an ESSENTIAL ingredient to powerful
communication. If you look at the most successful speakers
and writers that exist in our world, for the most part, they are
all amazing story tellers. It's your stories that set you apart.
It's your stories that captivate your audience. And
it's your stories that convey and illustrate your message more
powerfully than anything else. So as you can see, it's incredibly
important to develop the skill of story telling if you want to
create a successful online business. While attending the "Inspiring
Speaker" workshop in San Francisco, I learned all about story
telling from a few different master story tellers. And there
were 3 key tips that really stood out for me and have already
greatly improved my story telling abilities! :) So click play on
the video down below and learn these 3 powerful tips to becoming a
more engaging story teller...

There's
one question that alone has the power to transform
your life and business, fuel you through any challenges, give you
the drive and motivation to create results above and beyond what's
"average", and empower you to become truly extraordinary... It's
the simple, yet profound question of asking yourself: WHY?
"Why am I here?", "why am I on this planet?", "why am I
building a business?", "why do I get up in the morning?" Having a
strong connection to your "why" will do more for your empowerment,
motivation, results, and success than just about anything else.
It will inspire you to take action even when you don't feel
like it, it'll give you the strength to move through challenging
situations and emotions, it'll fuel your passion and spark
everything you create with the fire of enthusiasm... And
ultimately, it'll help you find true fulfillment with your life and
your business. What more can you ask for? :) I made a video
for you today where I share more about this important aspect of
self-discovery, and what it means to live from the power of
"why"... So click "play" now down below to watch it:

what's your why? PLEASE share it down below with us!
You'll be helping to inspire and encourage other
entrepreneurs out there to also clarify theirs! Thank you so much
for spending time with me here today! I appreciate you and
all of the many gifts that you share! Oh, and please share this
post on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word! Thank you!!
To the realization of your "why", [signature]
