Our new website! Basics versus Fancy tactics
Lookee! A new website! We’re deeply grateful to our team, and to Casper Blackwell of www.websitesforhippies.com who put this redesign all together! Our last website was designed back in 2010, and there have been a heckuvalotta change on the interwebs over the last 7 years. To have a new, responsive, cleaner design feels great. But […]
The surprising challenge in becoming visible
Updated 2/3/21 I’ve written about networking from the heart before. Here, and here, and here. However, there’s another piece that I’ve worked with clients quite deeply, and it’s the challenge around “becoming visible.” The whole being visible piece can be vulnerable, and even scary, for many people. It often comes up just when someone is […]
The Healing of the Market Place
Today we have something special for you: a story! A real, honest-to-goodness story told by a master story teller. It’s story time! One of the things I know is true, is that if we’re going to change this culture of ours, we have to rewrite the stories. The power of story to change and heal […]
Caught between generosity and overgiving
Updated 1/27/21 Early in your business’ life, over-giving is natural, and even healthy, despite what the critics say. You have a lot of new-start enthusiasm, you have a real need to be generous, and you also have a real need to practice and get your gifts out there. So you do that. You go the […]
What Heart-Centered Isn’t
A friend of mine, Diana, who is also a spiritual teacher, used to get into gross-out story contests with me. She would drudge up things she’d seen growing up, or traveling, that were, in all honesty, pretty gross. I could always, always, without exception, top her stories. Which leads me to the first rule of […]
The Car Wreck of Being Authentic
I applaud the move towards openness, honesty, integrity. In the conceal/reveal cycle, as my friend Eric calls it, we’ve been moving steadily into an age of “revelation” if you’ll permit me the word. When is revealing too much, though? There seems to be a delicate balance wherein you want to know the person on the […]
Why I Sometimes Just Stand There Not Saying Anything
Yesterday was day one of the Sacred Moment 2011 live seminar. I was going to write this last night, but after playing with my kids, eating dinner, and trying to find a little space to integrate after holding the space for around 40 people to do deep inner work around sales and business, I fell […]
Moneyflow 2011 and Instructional Design
As my friends Michele and Jen over at TeachNow are digging into, teaching is more than just dumping out your knowledge and experience on people. There are some real challenges to helping someone learn and implement new information. It gets harder when what you’re teaching has a bad reputation, and so you need to help […]
Video Challenge Day Eight
Day eight! It’s like the end of Hanukah, except there’s one more day. 🙂 Today was my day to experiment with B roll. If you don’t know what b roll is, watch this video that BrantC showed me. Today I dug into strategy, spirituality, living in the moment, and planning. In other words… is strategy […]
Video Challenge Day Seven
Did it! Finished day seven of my two week video challenge. (If you’re curious what this is, and to see the other days, check out day one.) I must admit that there’s only one thing I like about this video: I filmed it in the rain. I enjoyed the heck out of that. Everything else… […]
