The road to purpose driven success 🛣️

Growing an independent business without sacrificing your purpose for profit is a delicate dance requiring patience and intention. Here's some battle-tested ideas for sustainable, purpose-driven growth:

  • Consistency is key. Success doesn’t come overnight, and jumping from one project to the next without giving anything room to breathe can stifle your growth. Slow down and prioritize. Give yourself the space to nurture each idea fully, allowing it the time it needs to flourish.
  • Not all advice is good advice. It’s easy to get caught up in the noise. But remember this: advice is a dime a dozen. What works for one person might not work for you. Take what resonates and leave the rest behind.
  • Listen to your audience. It’s easy to fall into the trap of creating in an echo chamber. The market has a way of guiding you if you’re willing to listen.
  • Deal with fear and resistance. These energies can subtly sabotage your efforts if you’re not careful. Take the time to identify what’s really holding you back and address it head-on. By doing so, you’ll avoid bringing those negative influences into your work and instead, approach your business with a clear and focused mind.

Success in business isn’t just about profit margins; it’s about building something meaningful that aligns with your values. When you lead with purpose and allow that purpose to guide your decisions, profit naturally follows.

Something to think about: What fears and resistances might be quietly holding your business back from its true potential?

Hi Reader, Lately, I’ve been sitting with some big questions. About coaching. About what’s changing. About the space between where we’ve been and where we’re being called next. If you’re anything like me, you can feel it too, that sense that the old ways don’t quite fit anymore. The formulas, the pressure to perform, the constant noise telling us how we should grow… it can leave us feeling disconnected from the very reason we began this work in the first place. This is where I find myself...

Hi Reader, As we move through a potent season of astrological shifts, there’s a palpable energy in the air—a deep stirring that beckons us to pay attention to both the cosmos above and the wisdom within. These astrological events—eclipses, retrogrades, and planetary alignments, are not just happening in the sky; they’re reverberating through our collective experience and offering us opportunities to reflect and recalibrate. Whether astrology is your thing or not, maybe you are feeling the...

Hi Reader, As we continue to move through the complexity of our collective journey, it’s hard not to feel the weight of the world around us. We are living in times that demand courage, resilience, and unwavering faith in something greater than ourselves. There are moments when it can feel as if the ground beneath us is shifting, and the future uncertain. And here's a thought... What if the chaos of our world today is a sign that things are changing faster than ever? When systems and behaviors...
