3 Keys to Unlocking Huge Potential

We recently completed our new Foundations3: Accelerating Growth program with a group of amazing folks.  It was really an incredible journey together.  (Maybe we’ll offer it again?) I was teaching about Systems and one of the key things, which I must have repeated dozens of times, is something that I notice I also share repeatedly […]

The real teaching behind “playing big”

Updated 3/3/21 Some time ago I was leading another 24 hour Virtual Retreat in our Community, which I’ve done 6 times a year almost continuously since 2005. During one of the calls someone asked a question, and, uncharacteristically, I brought up the topic of “playing big.” If you know me, I tend to avoid that […]

One of the most dreaded questions I get asked

I’ve been in this business development/training game since 1999, and since then I have worked with thousands of small business owners, and I’ve been asked many, many questions. In my prior career, in the first 3 years of being a paramedic, I went from being nervous about every call, to feeling pretty confident that I […]

The pain of ending when you want to get going

I’m surrounded by boxes, my clothes are still piled on the floor because we haven’t gotten dressers yet, and while we did start cooking again, it’s more pasta and hamburgers rather than full-on cooking a meal. Yes, we finally moved into our new house at White Hawk Ecovillage this past Friday! Woo-HOO! This weekend is […]

[Video] Pain-point Marketing

I am SO grateful to have a team… this week we’re entering the home stretch in getting our new home at White Hawk Ecovillage built, hopefully about 3 weeks away from moving in, but have hit a snag involving the kitchen cabinets and window that may need to be moved! (Move! A window?!) Thankfully it […]

When you need help choosing B instead of A

Six times a year, every other month, I lead a Virtual Retreat for our Community. The most recent one was this past Friday, and during the retreat we worked with a Divine quality called the Awakener. In a few paragraphs I’ll tell you more about the Sufi Divine qualities, which are profound to work with. […]

Not Impressed

Super short one today, partially because I was at my mastermind retreat this past weekend in San Diego and I’m STILL wiped out. I had 10 years of traveling to these retreats from Oregon to Washington or California, and now I’m traveling from Ithaca, NY to San Diego, and whoosh… I hadn’t anticipated how much […]

The Conference Game

I’m writing this in San Francisco from the Wisdom 2.0 conference- a crazy intersection of 3000 people from the tech industry and those engaged with wisdom traditions. Before I get into the game I played, I just want to be witnessed at how strange it was to be in San Francisco. I lived in the […]

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 […]

Meet Yollana Shore

She started out as a client years ago, and was such an enthusiastic, skilled, compassionate, committed member of the community, that when she became available to be a Heart of Business practitioner, I was thrilled. She brings extensive knowledge and experience in spiritual […]
