My Sufi sheikh’s business medicine

A Sufi blessing for the New Year
It’s been years since I’ve been to a New Year’s Eve party. It never was my thing, and mostly I’m asleep well before midnight. However, I do enjoy the calmness, the in-breath, that I sense on New Year’s Day. It’s also true that tomorrow night isn’t everyone’s new year. Yet, because it’s the common calendar […]

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 […]
When I had to ignore clients
