Summer Heart of Business Hang-Out
It’s been rainy and cold this Junuary here in Portland. However, that’s no excuse not to have a summer hang out. Besides, the sun has shown herself from time to time the last few weeks. 🙂 The local members of the Heart of Business team, are going to be hanging out at McMennamin’s Kennedy School […]
The Formula Behind the Formula
Any spiritual teacher will pull this fast one on you: give completely different answers to the exact same question. Yet, rarely do we see the same thing in business. Usually there is a formula given. Follow the formula and it all comes out happy. Nope. Except when it does work. Totally confusing and wild. What […]
How to Step Into Your Gifts
This week I was facilitating an extra mentoring session for participants in our Sacred Selling course. A participant said, “Can I ask you a personal question, Mark? How did you step into your gifts?” I stopped. Aware the silence had gone on too long, that she could’ve thought I was ignoring her, I said, “I […]
Pulverized Into Compelling Marketing
Quick Note from the Heart: I had a day this week of feeling absolutely pulverized, but in a good way. “Pulverized” is the word I use for one of the flavors of spiritual surrender I sometimes get put into. It’s where I can’t do anything from my self, I can’t push, I can’t “make” anything […]

Finding the Challenge in What’s Hard
Last week I got to spend three days hanging out virtually with some of the most amazing, talented, heart-full people. I’m talking about the folks in our year-long Opening the Moneyflow course plus the Heart of Business team. We ran a virtual event via video conferencing (which would’ve been a disaster without the incredible help […]
Accepting What You Really Do
A client had been wrestling with focusing in on what he does. The funny thing is that he already had a fairly well-developed business, with a full client load and a good income. But, he had a LOT more potential, and not being able to articulate what he does was keeping his business down. Plus, […]
How to Finish a Year’s Worth of Work in Four Hours
Every month our Alumni Community has a different business focus. While this has many benefits for the community, the practical work involved is that each month I need to find/create a worksheet, and find several related articles that juice the conversation. I also need to create a conversation thread on the Community Forum, and create […]
