[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] How you WILL keep your Resolutions…
How was your holiday season? Have you set new commitments for 2015? Most people set New Year’s Resolutions and then end up not keeping them. Here is how you WILL keep yours:
[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Set your New Year’s resolutions by envisioning your inspired intention.
Do you usually keep your New Year’s resolutions? If so, you probably know this tip. If not, a slight shift in thinking can lead to your success.
The dictionary defines a resolution as “the thing determined upon, a decision as to future action showing a fixed, firm purpose.” The problem is that when we create a resolution for the new year, we often come from a disempowering context, such as “need to,” “should,” “right/wrong,” disgust, control, or other emotional decisions. I spoke about this in my blog on January 1.
A more powerful way to approach resolutions shifts them to intentions inspired from purpose, future vision, commitment, choice, self-worth, and self-care. Once you have an inspired intention, set up simple structures support you toward that commitment.
What is your purpose? What is the future vision you want to create? If you are taking great care of yourself because you’re worth it, what choices will you make? What will you promise yourself? What small, consistent steps will you take, starting now? Who will you ask to support you? What new small step will you practice daily?
Cheers to you and your new mindset!

[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Are you a victim of Ontological Sabotage #2?
Statistics actually show that people who lose weight will gain some or all of it back; usually they regain even more! This is true even for people who have had weight loss surgery. For those with too much debt, the same pattern holds. They make significant progress paying off credit cards or other debt and then find their balances creeping up again. It’s frustrating, demoralizing, and disheartening for everyone involved. Physical and financial weight affects all segments of our lives – including relationships and health. Physical & financial weight affects stress levels and stress levels affect our weight and our finances. In this success tip we discuss weight, but it can be applied to all areas on your life or business.
The Secret – Ontological Sabotage Patterns:
Since I train weight loss coaches to build 6-figure businesses, this information comes from our 9-Week Training Intensive, “Become the Ultimate Weight Loss Coach: Unconscious sabotages every coach needs to know so clients can drop the weight forever” and from our “Ontological Weight Loss (O.W.L.) Coach Certification & Training Program”.
Ontology is the study of the whole human being, including beliefs, perspectives, judgments, both unconscious and conscious mindsets, thought processes, and emotional triggers. O.W.L. Weight Loss Signature System identifies nine sabotage patterns in overweight people. Since how we do one thing is how we do everything, these sabotages also emerge in areas of money, relationships, and career. My weight loss clients improve their relationships and their financial/career simultaneously while losing weight because they apply the sabotage shifts to other areas of their lives.
Sabotage patterns usually emerge in multiples of two or three at a time. They may be conscious or subconscious. The nine sabotage patterns can be related to food or movement, or they can be unrelated.
Ontological Sabotage Pattern #2:
A relatable sabotage pattern is a mindset called Sacrifice/Entitlement, also known as Deprivation/Indulgence. The examples here are for weight, but they can be applied to finances and other areas as well:
- Example 1 – Holidays: We feel entitled and indulge ourselves with food and inactivity, followed by sacrifice/deprivation in January with a rigid diet and exercise program.
- Example 2 – Diet mentality: We stick to our diet for two weeks with the mindset of sacrifice/deprivation. Then we binge or falls off the program altogether with the mindset of entitlement/indulgence.
- Example 3 – Skipping meals: We skip breakfast or lunch (sacrifice/deprivation), then eat throughout the evening (entitlement/indulgence).
- Example 4 – Exercise: We over-exert ourselves one day (sacrifice) and use it as an excuse to skip the next day (entitlement).
- Example 5 – Hard work day: We have worked hard and been stressed during the day (sacrifice), so we “deserve” to have a few glasses of wine or dessert to compensate (entitlement).
The context for the sacrifice/entitlement sabotage pattern is “all or nothing, either/or.” The mindset is “I deserve this because I did that.” Or the reverse – “Because I did that, I now can’t have that.” All sabotage patterns, whether conscious or subconscious, destroy any chance of long-term, sustained success.
The Transformational Shift:
In our 9-Week Training Intensive, “Become the Ultimate Weight Loss Coach” and our “O.W.L. Coach Certification & Training Program,” coaches will learn all nine sabotage patterns and their corresponding shifts.
Here are tips to shifting Ontological Sabotage #2:
- Presence and Awareness – Notice what is happening, and distinguish it as a pattern, not just a random set of behaviors. Simply recognizing the pattern begins our journey to balance and health. Presence and awareness practiced daily helps my clients drop weight without changing anything else.
- How you do one thing is how you do everything. When someone starves/binge with food, they usually starve/binge with spending, finances, relationships, and other areas. Distinguishing our sabotage patterns in one area and learning how to transform them benefits other areas simultaneously.
Summary:
In achieving and maintaining optimum weight, we must consider this vital area – Ontological Weight Loss. In distinguishing the Nine Sabotage Patterns and transforming them, not only will our weight drop, but we enjoy benefits in all other areas.
To your success!

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.

[O.W.W.L. Success Tip] Is the Weight of Money weighing you down from higher income?
Want to make more money and keep more of what you make? Did you know that weight is related to money and vice versa? Research shows that women with 30 or more pounds of excess weight may not be earning what they could be. (New York Post, November 7, 2011, “Thin Gals – Fat Pay.”) The reasons cited are less energy, less confidence, not being as image-conscious. The research also shows that perceptions of employees and clients contribute to the lower earnings of overweight women. My work with overweight clients concurs. As they drop weight, my clients become not only more energetic and confident, but they stop hiding out and begin embracing their magnificence, trusting themselves, being more authentic. Their fears decrease, their belief in themselves increases, and they are able to command higher fees/salaries. They start new businesses or expand and succeed in existing ones.
O.W.W.L Success Tip: Just as releasing physical weight increases income, releasing financial weight also increases income.
Just as clients who lose excess weight become more successful and earn more, clients who lift their financial worries do the same. Why? The energetic weight of too much debt, too little savings, or too many bills sucks the life out of us at a deep level. We don’t know what to do, or we struggle and suffer, doing the best we can, sometimes living in denial. We feel guilty or overwhelmed. We feel helpless and alone. This “weight of money” affects our decision-making abilities, our confidence, and our self-worth, just as too much physical weight does.
So the solution is to address the financial issues head on, get to the real causes for financial pressures, not just the superficial ones. A coaching program is ideal for this, but it has to be the right one. I suggest having a money/financial coaching program, such as our “Weight of Money Breakthrough Program,” which addresses both the step-by-step action plan (facilitative) as well as shifting the deeper unconscious sabotages (ontological) in order to transform your relationship with money, earn more, get out of debt, and keep more of what you make.
Please check any financial coaching program you’re considering to be sure it has both the facilitative and ontological components; otherwise, your financial journey will be just like going on a diet and then gaining all the weight back. You don’t want to get a little knowledge, control, and relief of the “weight of money” and then revert back to old habits. You want a permanent change! Check out the resources below for more details.

[Current Wealth Weight Leadership Journey] My dream continues of training coaches
Last year we officially launched the Ontological Weight Loss (O.W.L.) Certification and Training Program to train coaches and health professionals how to grow profitable businesses and help their clients release their weight permanently. My dream came true with our first group; they’re doing great and will be graduating this month, moving into the advanced program with ease and grace.
So we are now filling the next Coach Certification and Training Program, which begins in about a month. This has been a dream of mine since I conceived of the O.W.L. signature system in 2009 as a divine inspiration. You may know that I have been an executive and business coach for over 20 years. The weight loss coaching specialty came about as a result of my own history of being anorexic and obese, struggling with weight, and wanting to help others.
But as a former CPA and business coach, I am also passionate about helping others with their financial and business journeys. I deeply contemplated how I could apportion my time regarding business coaching and weight loss coaching.
So….
If you would like to know more about what I am up to,
If you are a coach, a health and wellness professional, or a fitness expert,
If you are looking for another stream of income,
If you would like to help people lose weight AND keep it off forever,
Or, if you or a loved one would like to release excess weight…
…then you will want to check out Ontological Weight Loss (O.W.L.) Certification and Training Program to find out how you can improve your income, client results, and coaching techniques.
Here’s what’s on the page. In my audio interview with Dr. Deb Gilroy, you will learn…
- Why most weight loss programs don’t work and what makes the O.W.L. Program different.
- How this program helps your clients and/or loved ones to drop their excess weight FOREVER
- how you can add another stream of income to your business
- how you can receive more referrals from satisfied clients
- how you can enhance the health and wellness programs you already offer
- how you can open the doors for an exciting business or personal opportunity
Please be sure to tell your friends, colleagues, and loved ones about this great opportunity, and please refer them to the web page: http://www.owlweightloss.com/programs/certificationtrainingprogram/.
Warmly,
Success Story
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.

In my free teleclass last week, “Become the Ultimate Coach: 3 Secrets to extraordinary profits and results in your weight loss practice,” I discussed one of the 9 ontological weight loss sabotage patterns that overweight people run. Today I’m going to show you how that same sabotage affects our wealth; it’s called Sacrifice/Entitlement. (For the recording of this class, please visit www.JanisPullen.com/ultimatecoach/.)
The mindset of Sacrifice/Entitlement, also known as Deprivation/Indulgence shows up in our wealth like this: It can start with either the sacrifice side or the entitlement side of the sabotage. For instance, if you have gotten yourself into debt or overspending (entitlement/indulgence), you may decide to put yourself on a budget. But if you don’t have a well-constructed plan of action, the budget might be taken to extreme and then becomes sacrifice/deprivation. You can operate within your budget for a while until something happens. Then you “binge” on spending and go back into entitlement/indulgence.
Many times when we go off our budget, or when we don’t have one at all, our spending is a result of this mindset: “What the heck; I spent this much, so what difference will a little more make?” Just like an over eater whose eating spins out of control to a binge, so can purchasing. “I spent too much, so now I’m stressed out, so I’ll buy something else to feel better.”
The sacrifice/entitlement sabotage doesn’t have to be triggered by money-related events. If someone has worked hard and been stressed out during the day (sacrifice), she might believe she “deserves” to buy herself something to compensate (entitlement). Any time people spend because they deserve it, you can bet there is sacrifice/entitlement sabotage at work.
The mindset for the sacrifice/entitlement sabotage pattern is an all-or-nothing, either-or context. The mindset is “I deserve this because I did that.” Or the reverse – “because I did that, I now can’t have that.” The problem, as with all the sabotage patterns, is that they destroy any chance of long-term, sustained wealth growth. To discover how to deal with this sabotage, be sure to listen to the “Become the Ultimate Coach” audio at www.JanisPullen.com/ultimatecoach/. Even though it addresses weight loss, the same principles can be applied to wealth generation.
