Want more passion, power, purpose and prosperity in your life? Here’s the official Ken Donaldson Marry YourSelf First!® 20 Core Success Principles to Create Your Ultimate Life, Relationships and Career!
#1 Allow your life purpose to be the flashlight to keep you on the pathway of your life.
#2 Create your vision and you’ll have the magnet that will pull you into your ultimate and utmost future.
#3 Allow your values and priorities to be the guides on your path that will keep you going in the direction of your purpose and your vision.
#4 Create and live your legacy today.
#5 Live by the Law of Attraction and put your focus, energy, emotions AND action toward what you truly desire in this lifetime.
#6 Give unconditionally and anonymously.
#7 Practice the daily rituals that evoke your unique spirituality and invite your True Essence and your Highest Self to shine.
#8 Know and live by your deal-makers and deal-breakers.
#9 Discern between accepting and settling. Accept what you cannot change, but never settle for anything below your standards.
#10 Live by your integrity, and allow yourself to be true to you first and foremost.
#11 Know, practice and learn from your boundaries (proactive and reactive, inner and outer), and by doing so you allow yourself to be in your power, in the present moment and in the highest degree of balance possible.
#12 Find and use the support networks that encourage your passion, power, purpose and prosperity, and invite your whole self to shine.
#13 Learn the communication strategies and tactics that will further empower you, reinforce your boundaries and fulfill all your needs.
#14 Understand and live in accordance with the relationship developmental process. In doing so you’ll have the closest relationships only with those who truly support, accept and encourage you.
#15 Always be willing to step out of your comfort zone to promote growth, change and unlimited possibility into your life.
#16 Commit to finalize all your unfinished business from the past and in doing so allow yourself to be present in the present.
#17 Separate “who you are” – your being – from “what you do” your doing – and choose to live more from your being state.
#18 Learn to go with the flow in life. Navigate through and around the challenging times and be focused on the journey, not the destination.
#19 Practice frequent silliness, deliberate breathing and conscious walking, all to give yourself the proactive medicine of health and well-being.
#20 Recognize, accept and embrace the perfect imperfection of you.

Ken Donaldson: Go Beyond
Go Beyond
Beyond the fences of what you know
Awaits the possibility-land, yes, so full of flow
So perhaps now you’ll answer the invitation
And discover more passion and more creation
The Land of all Possibility does call your name
And requests that you play not any small game
You are here for your bigness and the gifts thereof
To practice true Faith, Hope, and yes, Love
So take now a leap into all you can be
And shed past conditioning and be truly free
Waste not this life by allowing unnecessary fear
But rather, take control of this Life that you solely steer
And drive yourself, yes, out of your mind
To a much bigger place to find your true find
Come now, my friend, it’s just beyond the fences
On the other side there are no pretenses
You will soon see and feel possibility
Yes, this is the place you’ll find your truest integrity
So take now the leap and settle for no less
You were put here, my friend, to be the very best
~Ken “Keni Lee” Donaldson

Tama J. Kieves and THIS TIME I DANCE!
You know I love to introduce you to the best resources around,
and I’m really excited to tell you that Tama J. Kieves,
the Denver-based, bestselling author of THIS TIME I DANCE!
Creating the Work You Love (How One Harvard Lawyer Left It All
to Have It All!) will be offering a very special event here
in St Petersburg.

I met Tama at the International Coaching Federation conference
and she is one of the most alive, fun, and insightful presenters
I’ve ever met. I’d love you to see her if you have the chance.
I’ll cut to the chase. Here’s how she describes the workshop
she’s offering:
Has life been following a different script than you planned?
How you deal with change is more important than the change itself.
You may be blocking the best opportunity of your life. You may be
stuck in your head or ignoring your true compass.
As a life/work and success coach for over 15 years, I’ve loved
every minute of helping people discover their own true direction
and incredible secret resources. I’ve witnessed clarity, peace,
and passions emerge when people show up for their lives and
use new and appropriate tools. I’m creating a very special space to do that
together with extraordinary souls who want to shift their experience.
It’s on Sunday afternoon, October 4th from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM in
St. Petersburg, and it’s called ‘The Unscripted Life: Finding Your
Way Through Times of Change’.
Please save your space now, and guarantee your spot in this
amazing afternoon.
