Are you ready to come back and share what you've learned?

Balance is an interesting experience. As a healing arts practitioner I learned to understand the inner working of balance.

Consider a gymnast on a balance beam (classic image right!?):

We see what looks like perfect stillness in their poses. In actuality the muscles inside the gymnasts body are continually shifting between agonist/protagonist muscle groups in the body.

The gymnast is holding themselves in position, in balance by using the constant activity of their musculature.

We just don't see that activity from the outside.

Keeping balance in your own life can be like this. Balance is a stability that we learn to master by moving all our parts: intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual, soulful, social, familial, etc.

In other words, balance is an active process. Our sense of balance comes through our willingness to respond and adjust. So, be easy with yourself as you learn new skills, as you learn to manage your business challenges and successes.

And stay with it.

Ok, on a question like this it can be a challenge to be very honest with ourselves while simultaneously being kind to ourselves.

Self compassion is essential to building new habits where we have been used to sabotaging ourselves.

It's also true that there are times when walking away from an idea, project, situation, is the healthiest most truthful action we can take.

A question like this is meant to help us make clear distinctions between what we could keep showing up for versus what we let go of for whatever reasons.

In business it's part of the deal that we have to work for the results that we want. This is totally ok. Don't let the work of your vision convince you to abandon your vision.

Carry on!

Success is a tricky word but I'm sticking with it for this conversation because so many of us who do life through a spirit led lense prefer to avoid the earthiness, the binding, rootedness, of a word like success.

We tell ourselves that being fluid and flexible and even, amorphous with this word, is better. Is more aligned, is a more spiritual approach.

Ha. Let's be real. It's terrifying to some of us to land here in this dimension and do life | play the game of life by any of the rules of incarnation.

And success and the pursuit of success is one of the games.

So, let's play it. It's actually fun. And there are SO many versions of success and fun that we can have through our devotion to business creation.

I have chosen to focus on an Affiliate marketing model in this season of my life and I am happy to bring as many courageous people with me as want to go.

Message me if you'd like to check out that invitation.

But, all the inspiration and encouragement that I share here is applicable to your business model too.

We're building dreams in a physical Adventure Park. Our dreams realized, create pathways for others to realize their dreams and so on the ripples go.

Your life is an incredible ripple. Allow yourself to be in service to others through the power of living vibrantly.

When I worked in retail, I'd be astonished by the women I'd overhear, falling in love with a dress and then following that moment of excitement up with, "but I have no place to wear it." Or, more insignificantly, "what would people think? It's too much."

Not in price but in her self expression.

We do this all the time in so many ways. Shutting ourselves down to an experience for, whatever our reasons.

It doesn't matter what other people think about the dress, or the career, or the family you want. Or, whatever else it is that is inspiring you to say yes to more life.

Don't let someone else's opinion of you be the over-riding voice of reason in your own mind and life.

This is your life. You are the steward of your life.

Live it.

I know I'm not alone in this one!

Where are my perfectionists at?

Who out there wrestles with imposter syndrome and procrastinates and/or shuts down as a result? Or some other version of self sabotage.

Perfection may exist. I've eaten some cakes and I've seen some sunrises that were perfect.

When it comes to creating, building and running our businesses we have to make room for imperfections. Daily.

And, this is acceptable. It's ok. Really, it's ok.

Chances are you're putting your energy into the big tasks of your daily operations and little things fall to the side or get what's left of your loving your business energy at the end of the day.

(Metaphorically speaking - end of the day)

Become skillful at identifying what needs more of your attention and what can survive with less precision on your part.

I was in a conversation recently with business colleagues and the conversation turned to the need to offset seriousness with light heartedness and playfulness when it comes to marketing ourselves.

If we're hyper focused on getting the thing right or making a meaningful impact we can lose our audience in the heaviness of our presence.

Humans need laughter and lightness, often. This is good medicine.

Many of us do take ourselves more seriously than is helpful in the longrun. If this is you, there's no need to add self criticism to the fire :)

Instead teach yourself how to be easy with it. Let some of your messages to the world be light and easy on the mind and spirit.

It's good to not have a life changing message sometimes. It's good to hang out on the surface of a thing for a bit and just enjoy the view.

If you'd like to learn more about how you can build and run your business from home, or a location on the go, connect with me.

Leadership is a skill that can be learned and it is definitely an inherent gift that some people have.

When we lead, we aren't interested in managing the micromovements of the people we are serving.

Yes, leadership is service.

When we lead we are calling out the best in people, helping them strengthen their best and helping them build the courage to step into leadership themselves.

We can manage ourselves, but when we are building a team through our business then we are taking on the role of leader and these are some of the ways that it's done.

We're being pushed to believe that we don't have time. "There isn't enough time. I'm so busy I can't think, feel, respond."
And we buy this line and we rush ourselves and others through relating. We rush our most casual relationships and our most dear relationships.
We do have choice. We Can say no to the rushing through life.
We can take the time to gather our thoughts.
To speak from a place we've taken our time to tap into before bringing to the surface.
We do have the time to allow people to complete a thought. And perhaps reconsider once they can hear themselves thinking outside their own minds.
And then to complete, or visit with, another thought without our rushing to the finish line and the next event.
Give yourself time.
To listen. To hear. To learn about.
To integrate. To consider. To take in before spitting out.
You are in charge of your time throughout your lifetime.
The lie and the misdirection is that you are not.

Are you noticing how we're talking more about what we are doing now to create our own lives?

We do have a say in what our life looks like.

The external world has its place and impact but we aren't entirely at its mercy.

What are you creating today?

I made a new video today on the topic of the sacred pause in business -- I didn't call it that but when we turn our attention toward the pauses inn our lives, we become present to the initiations and transformations that will absolutely be occuring in this quiet time.

We're trained to push through everything but the rest of the natural world stops, pauses, rests, surrenders to dormancy when called to do so.

There will be a rising on the other side but we must go through to grow. Even in a business eco-system.

So, if you are feeling withdrawn, disengaged, uninspired, overwhelemed, confused, stuck, disinterested, or in some form of stasis/pause, get curious about where you are without needed to force yourself through it.

Your being offered messages about where to adjust, where to lean in, where to release, how to grow into your next phases.

The video conversation is up on my youtube channel - Earthside Collaborations - if you'd like more support for this part of the adventure.

When you work for yourself you will work.

Many people who are new to entrepreneurship don't understand this part of the deal.

Yes, a big goal for many is to work less and play more every day.

This is another way of saying we have control over how we spend our time and energy in a day and that is a truly priceless return on our investment.

But, this goal requires our dedication and focus for period of time.

Some people build quickly and some people build slowly and some have ebbs and flows but, everyone who builds successfuly, has put work into their creation.

This is the season of the creative income creator. If you are looking for an excellent business model to put your dedication and focus into then reach out to me for more information.

Look ya'll. It's important to have teachers who can show us how to get from where we are to where we know we can be.

But, we're the only one who can take action and take responsibility for ourselves.

Our world is going through it right now.

Lead yourself. Lead with compassion.

I love the gym imagery. It's a good reminder that everything we're building and developing within ourselves is muscle that needs consistent attention and devotion.

Who owns your ability to choose? Who owns your time.

Time = days
Days = years
Years add up to a lifetime.

This title caught my attention. Did it catch yours?

I found it so interesting the clarity with which the employer lists the ways in which employees do not have choice. Or, agency.

We tend to carry ourselves that way in the employee/er dynamic.

The employed mindset does convince us that our lives are not our own during the hours we contract with a company. Why would we agree to this when there are other, beneficial ways to get the only thing most of us would ever agree to sell any part of our lives for?

There are always options. The options may not be great options, they might call for that sacred choice (sacrifice) or, we may have to go out and create our own best options -

- but, even in the employee/employer dynamic - we do have choice.

You might choose the path that goes against the grain and feels highly uncomfortable. There's a lot of that happening right now!

But, why wait on someone else's revolution when you can build your own revolution?

Right here right now, you can explore my business model as an option.

If you're looking and if you're open, send me a message.

Ask me how.
