A Note From Ling
I am a Misfit Rebel Maverick… always have been, always will be. I have cut off my limbs to fit into “other
people’s boxes” and now I say “NO MORE!” for all of us.
What tripped me off and caused me to go through years of cutting off my limbs and fitting in a box was not
knowing what was possible for me, and how I could express myself – fully and unapologetically – without
ending up on the street… Now I want to show you, that it’s POSSIBLE!
A New Paradigm of Business Artistry
Staying within the confines of a prescribed way of doing things was oppressive. I decided to take the leap and put all of me in my business. I decided to stop chasing my tail on the hamster wheel – even though the fears of not knowing enough or missing out creeps up from time to time. I decided that there would be no compromise. I decided to jump off the cliff while still looking for the “how to make a parachute” manual. I decided to walk away from what has been working and create something new and different. Something GUTSY. Something wild.
I am by no means “got-it-all-figured-out” and sitting pretty somewhere on a pedestal. I am knee deep in this whole process that will keep evolving. I am ready to face plant and be proud of it.
During this process, I learned that mustering up the guts to jump off the cliff and letting go of the “what is supposed to be” is where the rubber meets the road. The taking action and marketing bit happens after there is inner alignment and clarity.
The more inner work I do, the more I marry personal growth with business, the faster both grow. This experience has been life-changing for me, and I have coined “Business Soulwork” for the work/magic/transformative journey that is now my schtick.

Before We Start…
Keep this in mind:
Bad news: there is no magic potion when it comes to building a fulfilling business.
Good news: you will get there if you are determined to put in the time and the work. If you are ready to ask the tough questions, face your fears and embrace your Truth.
Get these in your system before you dig in:
Commitment § Commit to your vision
§ Commit to yourself
§ Commit to making it happen
Decision § Decide to become the person you want to be – act from that place
§ Decide to step up and be awesome, no matter what
Trust § Trust that the universe has your back
§ Trust that if you have the desire, you will figure out the “how”
§ Trust that you have it in you, and YOU CAN DO IT
Everything is a CHOICE – a conscious DECISION. What do YOU really WANT?
We cool? Let’s go…
#1 Make Art Have Fun
What is the point if you are not having FUN? (Get a J.O.B., at least you get health insurance…)
Get Messy, See What Happens – CREATE POSSIBILITIES
Embrace Chance Encounters, Be Pleasantly Surprised
Follow Your BLISS, Trust Your Gut
Indulge | Laugh | Fly
Embrace ADVENTURE
Choose YOU
What if you build your business
like you are making art…
as a form of SELF EXPRESSION?
#2 Tap Into Your Brilliance
Tap into the FLOW – do what makes you say HELL YEAH!
Take a Stand, Express Your Value, SHINE
FREEDOM To Be You
BELIEVE In Your Truth
Dare To be Loud | Dare To Be Seen | Dare To Be Big
Claim your genius, share your gift, do something GUTSY
LIVE Your Purpose, Own Your Superpower
Achieve FULFILLMENT Through Business
#3 Make Sales, Seriously
Truth: if you have no product or service to OFFER, if you don’t make any sales conversation, you have no REVENUE and you don’t have a business.
Ouch. But true.
Calling a spade a spade here… if you are in “business”, you are in the business of marketing and making sales.
Be proud of your contribution to the world.
Money is just a green “thank you”. Respect the energy of equal exchange.
REVENUE is a reflection of your IMPACT
#4 Get Over Your “Money Hang-Ups”
How you do money is how you do everything.
Stop letting money (or lack of) lead your choices.
Money is just a number in your bank account if it’s not growing YOU
Bust Your Beliefs, GET OVER YOURSELF
Invest In Your TRUTH
Know Your Boundaries
Empower Your Voice
Respect Your Value
#5 Be YOU, Be YOUnique
(5a) Stop Me-Too Business and Marketing
Stop Overwhelm :: Work Smart, Not Hard
Know Your “Big Why”, Ask the Tough Questions
Get Clarity; Prioritize; Do only what brings you closer to YOUR VISION
Dare To Be DIFFERENT
Dare to be “That” breath of fresh air everyone is waiting for
Question the Rules
Explore a Different Perspective
#5 Be YOU, Be YOUnique
(5b) Step Out Of the Comparison Trap
Have Your Own Definition of Success
Know Your Truth, Trust Your Instinct
Only YOU can write your own success story
Focus on your own path… you are going to bump your head or end up in the wrong place if you are watching others,
instead of where YOU are going.
Get On a MEDIA DIET
