New Name, New Vision, New Mission
April 22, 2013 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully | By Gaia Hart
Have you ever driven past a store-front and seen a canvas banner hanging in front of the old signage “Under New Management” and wondered what will change with the new management? Well. . . . consider this post to be my virtual canvas banner. We may look the same on some levels, but many new great things have taken place. We’re under new management, new name and new vision with a new mission. We’re shaking things up around here and we wanted to share the good news with our fans.
After lots of paperwork, forms, phone calls, re-writing of vision statements, mission statements, life purpose workshops and several trips abroad to ruminate on what the future should look like for moi; we are fully sailing under the new banner of GaiaHart.com. Funny how many people have divulged to me that they had changed their name or go by a nickname after I shared my name change story with them. . . quite fascinating, the name thing.
Still getting the details of websites, the blog now has a new facelift while dealing with other digital stuff and the old monikers of Gail Hahn and Funcilitators.com, but we are in full swing with a new personal name of Gaia Hart and doing business under my new name and continuing with BizBuilderCards.com. Rest assured the bits and bobs will be changed in the near future to match the new legal names.
What does this mean? It means I outgrew my old name, threw off the old persona, stepped up to a new potential with a new name: Gaia = Greek Godess of Earth Energy, and Hart = Heart stemming from the School of Love as evidenced in my life purpose created in my fingerprints. The Gaia Theory is that the Earth is self healing and that there is an interconnectedness to everything. I like that – the thought that we are all connected and healing together. It represents a spiritual growth and change in the mission and structure of my life and my work which represents my life purpose. . . . which is helping you find yours. . . .
My company name change from Fun*cilitators to my new personal name moves the energy from the focus on fun, teambuilding, and organizational training and keynote speaking to working with clients one-on-one in a personal or small-group setting to help you discover the art of living and leading Hartfully. Voila – a new mode of sharing my expertise in creating energy at all levels for leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. What this means for me is that I get to go deeper with each client and what it means for you is that you get my undivided attention to your needs. We get to pick the location of our working together and how we work together – completely customized to fit us both. Funcilitators.com served me well and served thousands of satisfied clients over the past 16 years and now it’s time for a change to better serve my clients with what they need most – personal attention and expertise to shine the light on their blind spots and ignite their energy to another level.
Stay tuned for what is to come. . . new designs, new programs, new ways to connect to your capacity. Our BizBuilderCards.com biz has expanded immensely in recent months. We’re now doing business cards, custom calendars, photo albums, canvas prints and more gourmet goodies to send your gratitude to those who matter in addition to our traditional custom cards, postcards and tri-panel cards. Why not test drive the Gratitude Challenge by sending 30 cards in 30 days to see how it changes your life and the lives of others with a simple connection and thoughtful word. . . brownies never hurt as a thoughtful gift either. Check it out at SOCGratitude.com/9431. Let me know your results – I’d like to share the good news stories with our fans.
What does your name represent? What does your business name represent to you and to others? What’s in a name is a whole lot of meaning. What kind of meaning are you giving to your business and your life? Does your current name represent all that you could be or something that you were? Have you outgrown your name or are you itching to change? Only you know the answer to that.
Your New Year Assignment
January 28, 2013 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully, Wealthy Woman | By Gaia Hart
So now that you’re past all the partying, whooping it up and forgetting about real life for severl weeks; it’s time to hunker down and get a little more serious about what you really, really, really want out of your life this year. I’m not talking about those crazy resolutions of losing weight, working out more and eating right…. although those may be a part of the plan. I’m talking the deeper stuff, the soul-connection kind of stuff that will move you towards your life purpose. What I call the Hot 100 list.
Writing down, or typing, cutting and pasting or digitally pasting photos, pictures, drawing and coloring AT LEAST 100 things you can do to move your life forward towards your purposeful goals this year. For left brainers and the check-listers; numer your page 1-100 and then write down your desires so you can feel the success when you check them off. For you right brainers, use the Vision Board method and cut and paste to your heart’s content. For the most bang for your buck, do both. And READ YOUR LIST and LOOK AT YOUR VISIN BOARD DAILY. Don’t sock it away on the shelf only to dust it off and look at it next year.
Studies have shown that these images get locked into your subconscious and there is a wee bit of magic that happens as you begin manifesting your list. It must be viewed often to keep it on the top of your mind and let is soak into the back of your mind. Stretch yourself to come up with at least 100. I always have more – there’s just too much to do, see, be to stop at 100. Let it simmer for a while, come back and add more. Some goals can take several years to attain and some can be done in an afernoon – write them down. One of my goals took 27 years to achieve. Don’t forget to celebrate your successes when you can cross one off the list.
As part of your assignment; take the Gratitude Challenge. I dare you to send 30 personal cards to 30 people in 30 days at http://socgratitude.com/9431
What’s really cool is that you can also create your vision board on one of the cards and send it to yourself so you have a portable version. I took a photo of mine and carry it with me on my iphone so when I’m in waiting mode; I can pull up my dreams and desires, read my life purpose, check out my life vision and then do a gap analysis and see what I already have achieved and what I still need to do.
Happy writing and card sending. Report back to me how it went. Cheers!
