She Leads Confidently
Overcame Divorce, Cancer to build a Spiritual Business.
Pam Sears leads the way in overcoming all of life’s obstacles.
Pam was fired from her job unexpectedly. Then with her two young boys decided it was time to leave her unsupportive husband. This was done during a time when women seldom left a husband with no support, no job, and no fallback plan.
Pam had a strong belief in herself and knew it would work out. She started attending a massage school and became a business owner. Everything was on track, personally, professionally, and financially. The business was doing great; boys were growing into wonderful men when it happened.
Pam calls it her ‘2×4’ moment. You know, when you get hit by a 2X4 totally unexpectedly. She found out that she had breast cancer. Another large obstacle she would have to overcome. With a strong level of tenacity, Pam promised herself she would overcome and come out stronger.
Pam survived and in fact even thrived. She learned that self-care is important and to find love in all occasions. I think of Pam as the Heart Lady. Pam takes pictures of all the hearts she sees in the Universe. Reminding her followers to also practice self-care and be filled with love.
Now, faced with a massive economic downturn, Pam is poised to face yet another obstacle. But with typical Pam optimism, she knows all will be well. Her beloved camera broke, no worries for Pam, she went to a pawnshop and bought another. Her business took a dip. That’s fine she is rethinking her offering, how to offer them and trying new avenues to get her message out there.
Pam is a woman of conviction who does whatever it takes to get her message of love and overcoming what life throws at you.

Tall Poppy Syndrome and Women
Be a Tall Poppy and let Your Voice be Heard.
Tall Poppy syndrome I think originated in Australia At least that is where I learned the expression. When someone is a tall poppy they are ‘standing out.’ Drawing attention to themselves like that is a bad thing.
The saying implies that standing out is a bad thing. I think the opposite. When you stand out, you are CONFIDENT in who you are and what you do. There is zero need to hide your greatness. Yet sayings like this one make people step back fearful they will be a tall poppy. For years I was heckled and ridiculed for standing out, or as my mother would say ‘drawing attention to myself.’ So, I pulled back. Hiding behind others, waiting to be invited to join. Now I look back and only see missed opportunities.
But when you pull back, be LESS THAN, you are helping no one. You are only benefiting the person who was insecure in the first place to call you a tall poppy.
Have confidence and faith to stand proudly in your voice. Know you are here for a specific reason and live daily
Promise yourself you will be the TALLEST poppy in the field, heck in the Universe. As the saying goes, You do You!

During these crazy times, everyone seems to be cutting back. The economy is constricting as unemployment is rising. I see more people becoming fearful.
Small businesses need to be proactive and stay in front of their customer. This can be done by hosting free webinars (although I think everyone is doing that right now), discount their training, or free groups.
