In work, in life and as
a writer, it's better to be the EXCEPTION, not the RULE.
Big, Bold NewsI'm seeking publication for my next book!
So excited
to be writing my next book, a memoir about how I decided to change my life by
moving to Paris alone at age 45... and how I found both my bold soul and
the love of my life here.

At the end of the day, the only question is: "Who do you
really want to BE?"
 BE the one who is living the life you really
want.
BE the one who doesn't let
fear and excuses get in the way.
BE the one
who finishes that book, reaches that goal, lives that
dream.
BE the exception to the rule,
the one who stands out from the crowd, the one other people look at with wonder
(and maybe just a little bit of envy) because you are living life on your own
terms.
What are you waiting for?
Are you ready to
STOP making excuses and START Living Boldly®,
so that you can live the
life you REALLY want?
Dear fellow Bold Soul...
If you are writing a book, dreaming of changing your life or you have a
really big goal you want to complete, and if you are tired of struggling and
not really living the life you want, then this letter is addressed to
YOU.
In life, there is the RULE... and then there is the EXCEPTION to
the rule.
Rules are, to a large degree, a necessary part of daily life.
They give us guidelines for behavior; they create order out of chaos. People
who live their lives and run their businesses strictly by the “rules”
may have a feeling of safety and security, a sense of being comfortable, of
“fitting in” to the norms of the larger society. And many people like
it that way. If that's all you are looking for – safety, being comfy,
fitting in – then that's fine. Just keep doing what you're doing... and
getting the same results.
On the other hand... what if you want
more? What if you're not satisfied with the results you're getting in your
life? What if you were to actually DARE to want something DIFFERENT, something
BETTER... something BOLDER?
What if you were to change,
reinvent, bend or even BREAK the rules? What if you were to STOP MAKING EXCUSES
to yourself and others about why you're not fully living your life the way you
want?
Those wildly successful people out there (we know who they
are!) who achieve BIG things, GREAT things, BOLD things – they're
the ones who delight in being the EXCEPTION. They color outside the lines.
They're willing to take smart risks. They're the innovators, the ones who break
the mold and raise the bar. They are willing to stretch themselves, even to
reinvent themselves, to have the life they really want. And they have a great
time doing it, too. Being the exception to the rule is a blast!
Those
who are the exception to the rule DO NOT MAKE EXCUSES in life. They don't
justify their choices. They don't settle for less than they deserve. They don't
procrastinate for very long, if at all. They take action, and they take
responsibility for changing what they don't like and for creating what they
want in their lives. This "NO EXCUSES" approach to living is what sets them
apart from the masses of dissatisfied complainers.
Which do YOU want
to be: the Rule? Or the Exception? It's your choice.
I can help you get
there.

goals from a new perspective; finding those elements I lacked. Her guidance and
expertise put me on a path toward success and fulfillment I wouldn't have
reached otherwise.” |

| "I have Lisa to thank for helping me launch my company and
help it get the attention and client base it deserves. She told me upfront
after the birth of my baby that this is a 'year of creation' for me in more
ways than one. I have remembered those words as I have endeavored to follow my
dreams and make my new daughter & wife proud of my accomplishments. Thanks
to Lisa this year has been a year of creation and not stagnation!" |

My Living
Boldly® philosophy and "NO EXCUSES™" approach to living has changed my
life. It can change yours, too.
 I am Lisa Taylor Huff, and I am a living example of
what happens when you stop making excuses and commit yourself to living your
life more boldly.
Several years ago, while still a single woman
“of a certain age” (i.e., in my mid-40s), I decided to FINALLY stop
living my life halfway. I'd been living, as I saw it, “on the fringes of
everyone else's life”, always the good friend, good sister, good daughter
and granddaughter who spent most of her time working her derriére
off in a solo business that was struggling. When I wasn't working, I spent time
with family and friends, or watched television or surfed the 'Net to fill the
gap in my social life. I hadn't dated anyone interesting in years. My life
wasn't exactly bad, but it sure was boring! Rarely a day went by
that I wasn't dreaming of something better for myself. I felt like I was
capable of doing and BEING so much more. I also wanted my life to
feel INTERESTING, at least to me if to no one else; I wanted to be
different, to break out of the “mediocre zone” that so many of us
seem to fall into, despite our best intentions to do otherwise. And even though
I was well over 40, I still dreamt of having that very special
“someone” in my life... before it was “too late”.
I
was missing my chance at LIFE! Something had to change! I didn't know exactly
what to do at first, but I knew I had to do something different because
what I'd been doing was simply not working. It was time for a change, a big
one... I needed to STOP MAKING EXCUSES and start living life on my own
terms. I needed to take a BOLD leap!
I took a deep breath and
asked myself one key question: “If I can do anything I want and there
are no obstacles, what do I REALLY want for my life?” The answer was
swift and clear, coming from my own “inner voice” (that's the little
voice inside – call it intuition, God, the Universe, or your Higher Self
– that always knows and speaks the truth). It said:
“I want to write and I want to
live in Paris.”
I was on fire inside from that moment
on, filled with excitement and anticipation (and yes, even a little anxiety)
about my future for the first time in many years. The next day, I set the
wheels in motion. After taking some months to plan, strategize and get my
affairs in order, I was FINALLY on that plane to Paris! I spent the better part
of that first year happily wandering the streets of that beautiful city,
soaking up the ambiance, taking photos, sipping espresso in cafés,
making new friends, traveling to other parts of Europe – and writing about
it all. I had no idea how long I'd end up staying, and when asked, I'd simply
reply: “As long as I'm still having fun”.
When you make the
commitment to start Living Boldly® in ONE area of your life, things just
begin to fall into place in the other areas as well. It's like a ripple effect
of positive energy flowing across your entire life!
Living in
Paris was my personal dream come true, the biggest gift I'd ever given to
myself. And just when I thought things couldn't possibly get any better, the
next miracle happened: I met the most wonderful man, a delicious and handsome
Frenchman – my true soulmate. (Who knew he'd been “hiding”
in France all along?) We fell in love, almost instantly, on our very first
date. Within two weeks, we both knew I would never leave France. Eventually I
moved in with him (and his three great kids), and not long after that, we got
married. Today, I not only have the man of my dreams, but an entire family of
my own, PLUS work I love! Even now, it sometimes feel surreal and I want to
pinch myself, but the fact is that *I* was the one who created this reality for
myself -- by changing my mindset, changing my actions, and then changing my
life. It really IS possible to have it all, on your own terms!
My
dream work (writing) – and my dream LIFE – came true because I made
the commitment to Living Boldly®... and then backed it up with consistent
and appropriate ACTION to make it happen. And I did it all in my mid 40s,
proving that it's never too late to change what you're doing and to
create exactly what you want in your life!

unmatched. Lisa is the best in the business.” |
|
| "The biggest value in hiring Lisa was getting my business
model set up with absolutely NO STRESS. I had a sense of what I would want the
final result to look like, but not how to create it on my own -- by being able
to talk through it with Lisa, and then have her system to pull it all together
for me (in a very professional manner), it gave me the ability to get it done
without stress, exactly as I wanted it." |

| “I met Lisa in 2002. Our very first coaching session
literally helped to clarify quite quickly and accurately the direction I wanted
my career and personal life to take. I am happy to say I followed that dream
that we talked about and have never been happier. Lisa and I have stayed in
touch since then and I value her input still.” |
