Right now I am going through a big transition period in my business. I have finally figured out who I want to serve and what I offer. It has been a long journey of inner work to get to this point, and I am more than thrilled! Ok, so drum roll please....
Who I serve: women in healing arts professions, such as body or energy work, yoga, mind/body coaching, etc., who are intimidated by the very thought of “business.”
What I provide: I provide holistic business coaching and consulting to enhance the clarity, presence and success of healing practitioners. After almost 25 years in business as a consultant and project manager (with two graduate degrees in business to boot!), I understand business concepts and translate them into language healers understand and can apply. As a healer and yoga instructor, I understand and appreciate “woo woo” and can translate it into language that civilians understand. I provide a bridge between mind, body and business.
I am currently designing products and services for this community that I can’t wait to share. My theme as I go through this process--which is essentially my theme for the year and the theme for my business--is connection. In other words, I think soulful business owners are the most successful when they are connected from the inside out--connected to themselves (body, mind, emotions, energy and soul), to their business operations, and to their customers.
So... instead of thinking about this transition as stepping out onto a stage with all eyes on me (if you can’t tell, being on American Idol would be my worst nightmare), I am pursuing my business as part of my spiritual path--a journey of connecting more deeply with my highest and best self. I am getting connected with my own life force and the fierce impulse to contribute in a bigger way. I am getting connected with my business knowledge, expertise and value as a service provider. I am getting connected with my natural gifts and talents. I am getting connected to all aspects of my business from a grounded, aligned and powerful place. Best of all, I am using all this inner connection to reach out and get connected to my people--my fabulous clients, readers, teachers and associates.
By walking this path myself, I am ready to help other healers get more connected to their businesses and their people.
So, I am writing this today to give you a heads up, as I will be making some technical changes (New website! New email provider and newsletter!). I will make the transition as seamless as possible, of course, but please be patient while the business is “under construction.” In addition, I am designing some very cool services for healers, so look for details coming soon. If you know any healing practitioners who struggle in their business, please send them my way!
By the way, I am compelled to mention the amazing support of my own business coach, Nona Jordan. She has helped me gain tremendous clarity and confidence while discarding some long-standing limiting beliefs that stood in the way of my success. I now know the true value of having a business partner that sees my brilliance when I cannot, and I am so happy to pay that same gift forward to my own clients. I am eternally grateful for her insights and support.
