[Update] Did you know Team Janis has 4 team members?
Team Janis is growing! We now have four team members, and I am delighted to showcase these amazing ladies with you.
First, I want to give a shout out to Shannon Kuykendall, of Creative VA Services, for her 3rd anniversary with Team Janis. Shannon is our guru in creating website, blog, email, and other technological magic. How many times did she listen to me cry as she walked me through technological jungles and make them into gardens! She also brainstorms with me and gives me support in marketing strategy. Happy Anniversary, Shannon! You are my hero! To learn more about Shannon and her services, visit: www.CreativeVAServices.com.
Second, Kate Livingston is a breath of fresh air for Team Janis! She is a social media goddess and has helped us create a larger following with her creativity and knowledge. It’s been such a pleasure working with her joyful spirit and loving heart. If you like the O.W.W.L. business page on my Facebook page, say a hoorah to Kate! To learn more about Kate, visit: www.KyleZimmermanPhotography.com.
Third, you may remember that Kyle Zimmerman began with Team Janis as our official photographer and videographer. I wrote about how her brilliance helped with our re-branding and marketing outreach last year, and now we are excited to announce her new position as our official Marketing Advisor! Kyle’s positive energy and expertise support Team Janis “Scale our Light” in our global mission and outreach to help people empower themselves in Wealth, Weight, and Leadership. I cry with gratitude every time I work with Kyle. To learn more about Kyle and her services, visit: www.KyleZimmermanPhotography.com.
Fourth, Team Janis would like to welcome a new Administrative Assistant, Renee Millman! She is an avid fitness and yoga who believes that given appropriate guidance and support, everyone can learn to access internal strength, live to fullest potential, and find a silver lining in every challenge. Of course, those values meld with mine, and Renee has already lightened my marketing efforts with her bright, quick responses and proactivity to help our business grow.

I feel very blessed and honored to have such quality women supporting me and our business!
With gratitude,
[Current O.W.W.L. Journey] My cure for the Deprivation Sabotage
When I’m feeling deprived, I can sabotage my best intentions to stick to my food plan or my spending budget. My inner child wants to be delighted, not punished! Sacrifice/Entitlement is actually one of the Ontological Wealth, Weight, and Leadership Sabotage Patterns we talk about in our programs.
One way to keep from feeling deprived in my food program is to make a list of yummy foods that nourish and nurture but are still healthy. The context is “both/and”…I can BOTH be delighted, AND I can stick to my plan. (Do not attempt this when you are hungry!)
I start the list by thinking of things I love and then consider what a healthy, delightful substitute would be. For example, I love margaritas, so my delightful substitute is organic lime juice with stevia sweetener blended with ice. For another example, I love jamoca milk shakes, so my delightful substitute is iced coffee with milk or a splash of cream. Recently I discovered that if I combine frozen fruit, stevia, and about ¼ cup of almond or coconut milk in my “Vitamix” blender, I come up with a delicious fruit “ice cream.” I also use frozen almond or coconut milk in ice cube trays, some stevia and vanilla, and a little almond or coconut milk to make a vanilla “ice cream.” For a salty/crunchy option I slice sweet potatoes thinly and bake with a little oil and salt. I also eat sunflower seeds in the shell – slower to eat.
Want to do this too? You can start your yummy substitutions list with things you love that are already healthy. I love strawberries and kiwi, for instance. Did you notice I say “love” and “delight” a lot? That’s a clue, heh, heh!
Include on your list salty, sweet, sour, crunchy, soft, bulky, beverage, and comfort types of foods. That way, when a yearning hits, you’ll be prepared. We have some great examples in my book, What On Earth Am I Going to Eat Today?
“What on Earth Am I Going To Eat Today?”
Here is the link to purchase the book and companion journal:
Stock your kitchen. Post your list in the kitchen. Yahoo! You are off to a great start in reinventing your relationship to yourself and to your food.
I would love to read what some of your healthy substitutions are!
Delightedly,

Success Story:
Hi! So I think I’m finally (FINALLY!!!!) shifting from sacrifice & entitlement to well-being & integrity!! I was walking thru whole foods this afternoon and they had salted caramel rice crispy treats samples out. Well, I allowed myself to have one even though I ate some candy last night. And I was ok with it because it’s on plan. I had one and didn’t feel like I had to binge. Wow, this is a big deal for me! (I almost called you to tell you about it Janis).

[O.W.L. Success Tip] Why brilliant people follow instructions
Are you stuck? Want to have your next breakthrough with a simple practice?
O.W.L. Success Tip: The practice is to follow instructions.
Humans try to make simple things hard; then we struggle. However, brilliant people make hard things simple. Following instructions is one way to simplify and to have a new breakthrough.
Whether we’re talking about instructions for assembling a toy, practices from your coach, sticking to your food or exercise plan, insights from your wise inner self, or any other kind of instruction, practice FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Do you resist following instructions because your monkey brain is thinking of all the reasons why you should not? This is a sabotage pattern. Give it up! Einstein said, “Problems can not be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.” It is in the following of instructions that you gain new awareness.
I predict your life will get easier, simpler, and more peaceful when you let go of that resistance and just try it. Then watch to see what beautiful breakthroughs come your way.
Here’s to your next breakthrough!
Warmly,
P. S. Speaking of sabotage patterns, have you seen any of my new video shorts, photographed by Kyle Zimmerman? A new one will be coming out Thursday, June 26, 2014 on my BLOG regarding following instructions on a food program, and another short video will debut Tuesday, July 1, on your sabotage patterns in my Tuesday Success Tips.
P. S. S. Many of you have sent me referrals and have joined my Reciprocity (Affiliate) Program. Thank you so very much.

Success Story
I enrolled in the O.W.L. Coach Certification & Training Program because, as a holistic nutritionist, I am already offering the facilitative portion of weight loss (food and movement). I know that the emotional side of weight loss is, I believe, the most important part of the process.
I found it very exciting to experience in the clients I enrolled within the program (one enrolled even before I started the program!) the transformations they saw in their weight and also in other areas of their life. How you do weight is how you do everything! These sabotage patterns really do work in every area of life: money, weight, health, relationships.
I was enrolled to learn how I can service my clients in a bigger way, but I also got value for myself. I was able to apply these tools into my own life even though weight is not a concern they shifted my thinking and how I see myself.
If you are thinking of whether you should enroll, I will make it easy for you…just do it! You will benefit more ways than just one. For you to be a fantastic coach you must transform yourself first! That will just happen and will be fun and easy at same time.

[Current OWWL Journey] Continuing my visibility journey; I need your help!
As I wrote last week, I have taken a step into the unknown which is totally outside my comfort zone! For people to make a greater impact on the world it takes being known and highly visible, but that is scary for many of us, including me.
My dual mission is to help people worldwide to love and accept themselves while creating a body and a life that they love and to also help weight professionals build 6-figure coaching practices. So in order to reach people worldwide, I took the advice of my marketing director, Kyle Zimmerman, and together we created a series of videos to share who I am and what I’m up to.
I need your help.
In support of the O.W.L. Coach Certification and Training Program which begins next week, I shared this same video on Tuesday in my O.W.W.L. Tuesday Success Tips. In case you missed it or would like to re-watch or forward, here it is again. It’s only a couple of minutes long.
Here’s where I really need your help…Will you please watch it, like it on my Facebook page, and share it with your friends, health professionals, and colleagues? It’s called “Become the Best Life Coach You Can Be.” Thank you in advance!
Thank you for helping me take this important work worldwide.
With gratitude,
P. S. Please help me reach people who would be interested in our 2014 Coach Certification & Training Program which starts next week. In this program we cover all the four essential elements of a successful coaching business which I wrote about on Tuesday.
P.P.S. I offer commissions for referrals. Please sign up for my Reciprocity Program and find out how easy it is!
Success Stories:
I have been working with Janis over the past 7 years, first as a life coach which evolved into a business coach and now as an Ontological Weight Loss Coach in training. When I first started this journey of being an Ontological Weight Loss Coach I had no idea what was in store for me and how it would impact my life and the lives of my clients – present and future. As I have gone through the training it has challenged me and changed my life. I now realize the incredible benefits of the program and how amazingly it will work for anyone regardless of their shape, size, & age – male or female, as long as they are committed to their health and well being and are willing to work the program. (I’m not just talking about weight issues.) The results I have gleaned from working with Janis are: the home of my dreams, attracting my ideal clients, writing and publishing my first book with more to come, creating several businesses with my latest being S.O.A.R. (Shedding Obstacles Achieving Results) for Life, manifesting over $85,000 in income this past year and loving the skin I’m in. I love who I am.
The results for working with Janis can be anything you imagine. It will show up as healthier relationships with yourself and others. You will have a more defined and clearer picture of your present which will carry through to your future as you attract and create the body, lifestyle, career, income and financials of your dreams. You will have more self confidence and self worth in addition to more love, appreciation and acceptance of yourself as you learn how to celebrate you and what you bring to this planet.
With this kind of outcome why wouldn’t everyone work with Janis? The results and impact is far reaching and achieving.

[Current OWWL Journey] Did I mention I was stepping into discomfort, the unknown, and greater visibility? Oh, here’s the proof!
I have taken a step into the unknown! For people to make a greater impact on the world it takes being known and highly visible, but that is scary for many of us, including me. However, being courageous and committed and wanting to help people worldwide to love and accept themselves while creating a body and a life that they love, I took the advice of my marketing director, Kyle Zimmerman, and together we created a series of videos. In support of the 2014 O.W.L. Coach Certification & Training Program that begins next month, I am sharing this video with you. It’s only 2 ½ minutes long. Will you please watch it and tell me what you think? It’s called “Unconscious Ways We Self Sabotage!”
Thank you in advance!

P. S. There is another short video that was posted on Tuesday of this week, entitled “Why I Became a Coach.” Please check that out too.
P.P.S. We only have a few slots open in the 2014 O.W.L. Coach Certification & Training Program. Please contact me right away if you or someone you know would be interested in this. I do give commissions for referrals.
