What do you really want from your business?
Since you’re reading a site that talks about business and spirit, your business purpose likely involves expressing yourself, making a difference in some way, and conducting business in a way that’s consistent with your values.
And, of course you want it to make money. Let’s drill down a bit on that: how much?
Actually scratch that question [...]
Why get help making decisions when you know what you want to do?
I was reflecting this morning about how clients who came to me to sort out their life’s direction often knew all along what they wanted to do.
Sure, we needed to do some tweaking and planning, but their desires were pointing them in the right direction.
So why did they feel the need for my input?
For some [...]
Putting Up a Good Front Isn’t So Good After All
When I was in the corporate world, putting up a good front was seen as a necessary part of the job.
Putting on your suit and your panty hose felt like putting on armor. I remember a colleague actually describing it in those terms so it’s not just poetic license.

Are prospects really unable or unwilling to pay?
I just came back from Baeth Davis’s Life Purpose Spiritual Summit, where I had a ball with other spirit-minded entrepreneurs and learned a lot.
One of those lessons was around an issue that many of us soft-sell service providers find difficult: pricing.
If you tend to worry whether your prospects will be willing or able to pay [...]
Being of Service Has a Dark Side
Are you the sweetheart that friends can always count on?
Do you give 100% and more to your clients?
Then you should be rich in goodwill, a very valuable asset. (Not that you were being helpful and giving for that reason of course),
What if I told you that you might have created some problems as a result [...]
Honoring our needs makes it easier on others
I just lived through a mini-example of that.
I’m in the Detroit airport on my way to the Life Purpose Spiritual Summit and just had a wonderful 15-minute head and shoulder massage.
As the therapist was skillfully working away, I felt the urge to talk not because I wanted to (I enjoyed the silence), but because part [...]
