Forget the Business Model; Embrace All of Who You Are

in Change, Create Your Business, Dawn's Daring Adventures

NOTE: This is a 100% honest post. It’s from the NOW. It’s my way of opening up with the intention that it serve us all to embrace CHANGE and head a little further down the Spiritual Business Path.

If you’ve seen me posting on my personal Facebook page, you’ve probably seen my frustration with business models that feel outmoded and outdated. I want to REINVENT THE MODEL. I was reaching for MORE of the Spiritual Business path, for MORE of what I was starting to explore with the Make Your Healing Matter movement, for MORE of me and for greater consistency in abundance and flow — really FEELING it. I wanted to really help people to find Whole Businesses and to write extraordinary books that share their unique-ness with the world at a much higher and deeper level. And I was doing a lot of some of that.

But I wanted more and I wanted to EXPERIENCE something NEW

Now!

So, I’ve been pondering this and asking for guidance and listening.
Today I got some insight. FINALLY! And I can’t wait to try this on for size.

Fair Warning.

Some of you, who already thought I was living on the edge, will think this is insane. That’s OK.

I’ve been questioning the very notion of “business” — even though I have clients I help to CREATE businesses based on who they are. But something has still been troubling me. Yes, I know about branding and positioning and list-building and networking. I know how to write good copy and build websites and design programs. I have been immersed in the processes. I know how to identify your Ideal Client (a.k.a. target market). I know about implementation and action. I know about creating stuff. I know the old ways backwards and forwards.

Lately, I’ve been breaking all my own rules.

Oh, you noticed? That’s ok. I experiment a bit and live into the craziness and frustration while I’m figuring it out. And then ONE DAY, a miracle unfolds and I begin to see where I’ve been and I feel some movement…

When I discovered the truth that I was already whole, that I am OK as I am — 100% — and always have been, something shifted in me. I started talking more about what I call INSIDE OUT MARKETING and an INSIDE OUT BUSINESS with my clients. I shifted the focus to creating a business that BEGINS WITH WHO YOU ARE. Which was great. It’s really, really served some of the clients I have worked with and am currently helping. I started thinking about doing a VIP program on WHOLE BUSINESS, and yet I was really feeling something was slightly off.

And then I realized that a lot of energy — my own and my clients — was going into the development of that amorphous thing called …

A BUSINESS

And I, personally, kept losing the CONNECTION to my passions, the treasure of who I was as an innovator and creator and (non-traditional) healer and spiritual being. Because I was squeezing it all into this mold that was WAY, WAY too constricting and small for my BIG vision for my life, for my dreams, and, most importantly, for

All of Who I Am

So, the MAKE MEANING, MAKE MONEY and MAKE A DIFFERENCE is staying for me. But the WAY I do this is evolving. And I know it won’t be all about HOW TO DO IT. It won’t be step by step. It won’t be managed. In fact, I have this sense that a beautiful waterfall of dreams and being and becoming is about to spring forth from the reasonable measure of success that has been my business but has felt like a bit of a desert to me.

I don’t know how this will go, but I promise to let you know.
