| Heather Dominick |
It was the summer of 2000. Heather Dominick was overworked,
overtired and overweight. Living in Manhattan, she was making
a daily three-hour commute to a Long Island High School, often
putting in 12 to 14 hours as a drama teacher. She loved the
job. She committed herself to her students and her work. But
the personal costs ran high. Not only did she teach an average
of five classes a day, she also directed the schools
many plays. After years of following this rigorous schedule,
she knew something was wrong. I felt I had lost a sense
of my own life, Dominick explained. It was at that moment
Heather Dominick decided her current way of life was no longer
acceptable.
Her Story
That summer, Dominick focused on changing her life, one step
at a time. Where to begin? Her diet! But before long, she
realized this was only the first in a series of necessary
changes. She decided to leave her Long Island job for one
in Manhattan. She went back to school. Eventually she opened
up her own business as a nutritional wellness coach. It was
during this time that Dominick learned about what it meant
to be profitable, in life as well as in business.
Before long, other entrepreneurs wanted to know her secret.
They were curious to find out how she handled her full-time
business while living an equally full-time life and asked
her to be their coach. Dominick felt that she had at last
begun to understand her true purpose: to teach other entrepreneurs
a balanced approach for handling their lives and their businesses.
The key lay in creating enough time, money and energy. My
talent to teach, guide and coach began taking my students
and clients to places of major transformation, Dominick
writes on her website. And thus, the EnergyRICH Success
System was created.
The Program
Energy-rich coach is a term Dominick has coined
to describe her current vocation .
It focuses on living, being and working in a way that
is energy rich, productive and takes care of you. It
also is a way of conducting business. It is about being
both productive and profitable, but not at the expense of
yourself.
The result of all this? Dominicks seven-step EnergyRICH
Success System. She created the program while working with
her first two clients-a massage therapist and a chef. Both
had fear and doubt, she says, explaining the way her
clients felt in regard to their individual businesses. They
wanted to speak powerfully about what they did, but in a way
that wasnt sales-y. They also wanted a schedule
set up that wasnt demanding all hours of the day and
that allowed them to have dinner with family and friends and
to go on vacation.
Living an EnergyRICH Life
One of the subjects that Dominick often deals with is the
issue of time and exactly how to manage it. The first
thing we do is tap into what your authentic time management
production is, she explains. She goes on to describe
how, in the past, many people have had the experience of being
told to simply make a list in order to prioritize what is
important in their life. However, for some, this exercise
in time management is simply not enough.
Instead,
Dominick works with people to discover how they work most
effectively. We structure the business to flow how you
best flow, says Dominick. For example, through this
process some clients discover they are morning people, while
others work best at night. In an effort to help create a business
that connects people with their energy, Dominick aids clients
in designing a work schedule based on those hours during which
they are most productive. With Dominicks help, clients
assess their personal needs and discover how to effectively
utilize an EnergyRICH Life.
Getting In Touch
How can you tap into an energy-rich life of your own? The
options literally are at your fingertips. Some clients enjoy
Dominicks services exclusively online at energyrichcoach.com
while others choose to communicate by phone. Women who wish
to join in a free, weekly group call engage with Dominick
and one another to discuss a variety of topics. A recent conversation
focused on the need for solitude and ways to create a time
for it. We talked about taking time to just be,
Dominick says.
But ultimately, creating an energy-rich life begins with
you. Before picking up that phone or booting up that computer,
take a moment to get in touch with yourself. Listen to your
inner longings and just be. Ask yourself a few
simple questions. Am I the energized, enthusiastic person
I want to be? Do I believe that I can achieve thisand
that I deserve it? How would my life changehow would
I changeif I committed myself to this process of transformation?
Reflecting on these questions will help you choose the resources
that can help you achieve your goal.
Now you are ready. On your mark! Get set! GO! Experience
a more dynamic and satisfying life. Its all yours!
