In the outer world, entrepreneurial abundance is having an abundance of: Successful entrepreneurs know how to activate entrepreneurial abundance. In your inner world, entrepreneurial abundance is about having an abundance of:
The past week I’ve been dancing with the consciousness and ideas of freedom. I’ve been celebrating my own freedom and being compassionate as others seem to grapple to find financial freedom without risking their creative freedoms. I’ve been feeling how deeply feminine freedom truly is. And then yesterday, this beautiful BALD EAGLE came to bathe in
“On one hand I want to do my right work with the right people. On the other hand I don’t. What if I do it and I change my mind and I don’t like it? And I’m stuck?” Can you relate? Here is another…. “On one hand I want to do the work I feel
You want freedom, but are you ready to experience liberation? Imagine you are so triggered by someone. You just can’t control how you feel when you are around them. When you think of them, or when someone mentions their name. Now imagine for a moment that this is all perfectly designed for your highest good. You
Have you ever wondered what is the difference between appreciation vs gratitude? This week I started a brand new 30 Day Self-Appreciation Intensive with a group of 16 women. It is perfect, and intimate and raw. Instead of focusing on gratitude we are all posting what we appreciate about ourselves in a group. We are
We can walk through portals of possibility for anything in our life. In this post I want to share how my youngest daughter overcame some beliefs she had about what it means to be a friend, using a portal of possibility for True & Honest Friendship. I learned a lot about the rules we
Yesterday, I had an intense day working with clients helping them walk through portals of possibility to help them get what they want. This is a part of the abundance work I do, and it is so soul satisfying to me. During the day I remembered a conversation I had with a potential client a few years
Wisdom is the way. I love the wisdom that can be found in everyday life. I was having coffee at a local coffee shop, half working, and half eavesdropping when I heard a beautiful wisdom filled conversation between 2 women in their late 70’s or early 80’s. I learned that one of the women was on
Short and sweet; shaming people for any reason is a form of emotional abuse. Shaming people to buy programs and products, or to sign up for coaching is not the luminary way of enrolling clients, or of enriching our tribes to step into their own power. Never. Here is a post I shared in my Activate
Getting Your Work Out I’ve been home from China for almost 2 weeks after traveling with my husband and our two youngest children. I’m finally feeling like my luminary self again, back on my luminary path activating wealth and wisdom wherever I go. I’m enjoying a nice cool glass of water and I wanted to share some wisdom about
I am still learning to trust my own activation and learning to embrace it as the path to my personal wellness in all areas of life. It hasn’t been easy. I’ve had to learn to trust that my Higher Self knows better than my logical self what I’m here on earth to Activate. I appreciate myself
How to stop manifesting what you don’t want. I was talking to a client while I was at the All Life Center here in central Ohio and I was drinking a cup of coffee (surprise!) Anyway the topic began to hover around attracting what we don’t want. Like I said, I was drinking a cup of coffee.
Mothers are the most appreciated group of people in the world. How do I know? From 2000-2002, I surveyed over 4000 teenage girls and 50% of them voted for their mom as the most influential woman in all of history. I wasn’t surprised. Fast forward to today, and here I am the mother of 3

I’m currently participating in two group programs hosted by other luminary leaders. One is an online group program to help me gain more clarity about my intuitive style. The other is a live group program I chose to participate in to help me live a more creative life in terms of taking care of my health.
When you are made a decision to build a business you began a process of attraction. Most people think that just because they made a decision to build a business, they will attract clients who want to throw money at them. Wishful thinking! What actually happens when you make a decision, is you begin to attract
The other day I received an email forwarded to me from a reader of 7 Keys to Freedom, The Ultimate Guide to Developing the Mind who lives in Bulgaria. As a part of the pre-publication marketing surveys for the Bulgarian book release in September, the reader was asked to respond to the chapter I wrote
Dawn, I’m sure I’ve asked you this before. But doesn’t appreciating yourself or appreciating anything that is circumstantially not what you want by the law of attraction drawing more of that what you don’t want to you? I thought it would be helpful to break down my experience of how self-appreciation and the law of attraction

What is your Divine Intention? Recently, after sharing insights on physical and psychological intentions in a previous post, I had an enlightening conversation with one of my spiritual mentors. They introduced a beautiful concept of Divine Intention, which goes beyond the mundane to something more natural and profoundly inherent within us. I hope you find
What is the purpose of self appreciation? I’m often asked, what is the purpose or the ‘goal’ of self-appreciation, as if appreciating ourselves wasn’t a meaningful enough goal. When I first started receiving my marching orders, “Appreciate yourself, there is nothing else in the world you need to do,” It felt like a relief to focus
This week Robin Holland, a the member of my Wealth DNA community, asked me, “I’m curious. What’s the difference between inspiration and activation?” Robin is a luminary and a champion of the work of self-appreciation and she activates deep consciousness, just being in her presence can activate deeper awareness and understanding of your creative work in
Intention vs Inspiration This morning, I woke up inspired to write a post about the difference between living by intention and living by inspiration. My ‘goal’ is to live by inspiration, however I still find that my habit is to live by intention. It is a tough habit to break. However, living by intention
Do you know what you activate in the world? Most people have no idea how their presence activates the world around them. I’ve been sharing this part of my work with a small group of luminary women who are doing the work of The Sacred Art of Self-Appreciation. Here is what one of the women
I’m feeling deep appreciation and gratitude for the people in my life.

I appreciate the support I’m getting for the work of self-appreciation. This week I was interviewed by a friend, and Star Power activator, Dena Crowder. Dena is just one of the many points of light that are on my luminary path helping me get the word out about self-appreciation and shining light on how revolutionary this
This week I’m diving deep into claiming my passion for The Sacred Art of Self-Appreciation and all of the reasons why “the work” of self-appreciation is necessary in order for leaders to answer our higher callings. To me it is completely obvious that self-appreciation is all about increasing your self-value. But you don’t really get the
This month in one of my SASA groups, we were working on appreciating our core wound and how it helped us develop into the type of leaders we are today. It lead me to deeper awareness of my what my shadow side really is and how it helped me emerge into who I am today.
I’ve been feeling a bit stuck in writing my blog posts and my newsletters over the past few weeks. Something new is emerging and I’ve been hesitant to pause and ask, “What is it?” I’m not the only one experiencing some resistance to sharing their wisdom through writing lately, it seems like things are

One of my luminary clients who works in a government agency asked me how to use self-appreciation to help her feel better about Mondays. She was struggling with the day-to-day of a very challenging work life while she is creating the life of her dreams. I asked her what part of the day was the

It’s been a few months it seems since I’ve felt the creative impulse to post something that might help you in living your luminary life. And today I was given an inspiring, fun, and overwhelming blog writing assignment from my spiritual team. And I’m not sure it is possible. So I did what has become a
This month has been quite interesting. In case you didn’t guess, ‘interesting’ is the luminary code word for ‘challenging.” The big challenge? My health. However, during my most challenging month ever, I received so many bits of intuitive insight, guidance, and awareness regarding my health, and the work I do that I can honestly
Happy Mother’s Day! You don’t have to be a mother to celebrate mother’s day. If you are an entrepreneur you’ve most likely birthed business or a project or two. There are similarities and there are vast differences between birthing a child and birthing a business. However, if you’ve ever put all of your life force
When you are ready for a breakthrough (prepared, aware, and free of resistance) and ready to live your life purpose, the universe conspires to bring you situations, events, circumstances to help you ‘clean up’ relationships and really get clear on how you want your life to be when you are fully living your purpose.

By Dawn Nocera Have you ever stopped to think about the difference between self-love and self-appreciation? I thought it would be a good idea to share the subtle differences in today’s post. A friend asked me about my recent Sacred Art of Self-Appreciation Retreat. As the conversation went on, she asked me, “What is

I remember being so afraid of words and writing. Communicating what was on my mind felt like wrestling tigers. No joke! I studied engineering in college so I wouldn’t have to write, or speak. When I started creating my first website back in 1999, I added content to it daily. Mostly lists, and resources
I was reading something from one of my mentors today about systems and how important they are to our life and our business and I couldn’t agree more.

Valentine’s Day is the day you open your heart to yourself and your desires. Most people are living out other people’s expectations and doing what they think they should be doing instead of discovering what they really and truly want to do for themselves.

Dearest Luminary Entrepreneur, The hardest thing you’ll ever do is to stop trying to fix it. (whatever “it” is.) There is nothing to fix, or figure out. Your expansion and alignment come from being at peace with where you are. Feel yourself feel those feelings. Transmute the thoughts of “I should be farther along than this!” to
“Dawn I enjoyed your comments at our meeting, especially your comment about the founding fathers of our country being a mastermind group, I agree.

There are a lot of coaches and mentors sharing their New Year’s rituals like coming up with a theme, or choosing three words to guide you through the year. This year I’m doing things slightly different. At the beginning of last year, I knew I wanted deeper relationships, more intimate conversations, and to be
Last week on the Women Think and Grow Rich Coaching and Conversation hangout, we talked about “Chapter 8: Decision – The Mastery Over Procrastination” from Napoleon Hill’s original edition of Think and Grow Rich.

Are you a visionary leader or a luminary leader? When the idea came to me to write a post about the difference between a visionary leader and a luminary leader, I wasn’t sure I knew the difference. I even posted the image I made for this post on Facebook days before writing the actual post,
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts.

I have a friend who is very, let’s say, “consciously negative”. He is aware that he has negative thoughts and has years of low self-esteem to support his negativity.
