What is it about power? (Power hungry, much?)

When it comes to having your own business, power is a foundational necessity. Yet most of us have such an unhealthy relationship to power. What comes up for you around being powerful? About having the ability to make choices and see them happen? Very much like with business and money, we’ve had terrible experiences with others […]

[Video] I’m not setting goals for the year

Every year, as part of my Brain Trust (another word for “mastermind group”), I set annual goals. When I went to do that process for 2019, I felt no juice for it. Nothing at all. Rather than push through, I thought I would check in with my heart. And realized I wasn’t going to set […]

[Video] Don Ollsin and the Grassroots Herbalism Collective

Why am I interviewing Don Ollsin for your edification and delight? Two reasons: – He’s been successful in business for decades. Decades. And has some great things to share. – He’s an herbalist!

[Video] Ben Saltzman – Touched and Transformed

I personally have used the enneagram extensively in my life and business (I’m a 1, for those who know […]

This coming Monday

Hey there, Since 2001 well over 2000 people have been through this program, many of them choose to repeat it. Why? Because it’s nourishing. Because it works. Many of our clients say that this program is one of the most fundamental to their success. Not because it’s a magic bullet, it’s not. But because it […]

Something special? And stop apologizing to clients [VIDEO]

I thought about doing something special for this secular, Gregorian New Year. And it made me think about waists. Someone pointed out to me once that “waist” isn’t a thing, it doesn’t exist anatomically. The “waist” is something created to describe where the top of our pants commonly sit, more-or-less. It’s a term that describes […]

The holidays can be [wonderful/miserable]

(By the way, the photo of the hands/arms is not a stock photo: it’s my family- me, my wife Holly, and our sons Sam and David. We’re here for you, our arms and hands.) Here’s the simple truth: Many people love this time of year. Many people do not love this time of year. For […]

[Video] Being Direct and Honest

I’m convinced… nah, I’m absolutely certain, that there are hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars, in potential business and clients sitting out there, not arriving in businesses like yours, for a fairly simple reason. What’s missing? A little directness, and real honesty of the heart. I don’t think anyone is actually be dishonest… […]

Claiming Mastery

There can be a real tension between the healthy impulse of the heart to remain humble, and the ego’s struggle to claim more than it is. We see this when real master healers don’t even like to use the word “healer” for themselves, because they know the Divine is the healer, that it comes through […]
