"Thanks to my checkered past, I'm able to draw road maps for other accidental entrepreneurs – people who love their work enough to risk working for themselves but who aren't particularly business oriented and who have a deep commitment to personal growth."I love that everything I learn (and every mistake I make) serves this audience. From The Work of Byron Katie to Embodied Intelligence, ontological coaching to Process Work to integral theory and methodology, there is delicious synergy among my vocation and avocations."

Marketer and blogger Seth Godin defines a tribe as "a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea."In the case of your tribe of just-right clients, you are the leader, responsible for giving them care and guidance. Not
in a patronizing way, but to the extent that they depend on you to do
good work and to lead them toward things that match their needs.You
and your just-right clients are connected through your work, the way
you market that work, and the sales conversations you have. Molly Gordon on inner and outer transformation for thriving

Profit Alchemy is a 9 month program of “inner and outer transformation that creates the
foundation for long term profitability…one that is in deep alignment
with who you are and what you are here to do.” Molly Gordon says, “The
more you grow and develop personally, the more you achieve the
emotional, physical, and spiritual well being you want, the more
successful you will be at building a business where the person you have

Overwhelm is a physiological, mental, and emotional state that drowns
out any clear signals that might otherwise come through.

passionate about, or express their passion.
But
where does passion
really fit in the journey to a business that fits just-right?

about are the same thing, think again. Everyone wants to create work they feel passionate about, but there are ways passion can derail your business, and obstruct your personal growth.

I experienced a sudden shift
in perception. It was as if I had slipped through the looking glass to
discover that I was living in a world of abundant possibility as
opposed to one of temporal scarcity.
I no longer had the problem of not enough time and balancing my life
with my work; I had the gift of more than enough to do.

How do you respond to failure? How do you feel when you realize you've
made an error of judgment or violated your own standards?
Personally, I hate it. And nothing irritates me more than a
happy-talking, self-appointed New Age pundit who's getting rich telling
me that everything is perfect and failure doesn't hurt.
