When the Divine is Far Away From Your Business
In a recent Spiritual Nourishment call for the Heart of Business Alumni Community, a question came up from one of our members about being too agitated or upset to access the experience of sweetness, peace and wisdom that she was used to in spiritual practice. This can be a real problem when big decisions in […]
The Search for Acceptance
“Which is bigger, your fear of not making it, or your need for acceptance?” My client had been struggling to shift her business away from seeing individual clients as a therapist to a more expanded business model, with groups, learning products, and coaching. She had been rightfully nervous as she shifted her attention away from […]
Two Routes to Business Healing
When I first started working with clients back in the late 1990s, I quickly realized two things. First, that I seemed to know more than I thought about business and marketing, and clients started to do well. Secondly, that information only got people so far. Many clients seemed to get stuck, even with good information […]
Why I’m Not An Early Adopter
I admit it–I don’t have an iPad. My MacBook is the old style, white, not aluminum uni-body design. I didn’t have a smart phone until the iPhone 3GS was out. And then only because the rest of my team forced us to get them. I’m a big believer in having the right tools for the […]

Back to the Source with Guided Remembrance
This time of year is often full of extreme busy-ness. Either the crazy busy that comes with trying to tie up all the loose ends from the year, or the anxiousness that swells from trying to get a head start on the next year. Or both. At the same time, it seems as if something […]
Can Branding Ever Be Heart-Centered?
Sometimes the world delivers up vocabulary words that are just plain wrong. Painfully wrong. Words like “branding,” which the world of marketing seems to love, but regular folks and cows just seem to hate. And it’s because of how branding has often been used. Companies have done psychological studies on how to craft an environment […]
Discipline versus Flow in Your Business
It’s Wednesday morning, and a stack of to-do’s in your business await you. You need to get on your marketing, you need to deal with the bookkeeping, and those pesky clients keep needing things from you. ;-)And you don’t feel like doing any of it. Instead, you want to just read a book. So, what […]
