I recently realized how I have been distracted by all the shiny new programs, coaches, gurus, and the like lately. It was a nice reminder to get back to basics in my business. Today I share with you what that means and invite you to look at your own life to see where you might be able to get back to basics.
What does getting back to basics mean to you? Post in the comments below!
In the last year or so I have had the honor of meeting some truly amazing women with incredible talent yet I see far too many struggling to make their dreams a reality.
With such awesome gifts and healing work that can change the world forever, they are struggling to create thriving businesses.
How can that be?
I have experienced first hand some of these awesome gifts and am blown away at what EFT Tapping, Chakra Healing, Muscle Testing, Reiki, Yoga, and many other healing modalities can do to shift our energy and vibration so we can live happier and healthier lives. It’s like magic…literally.
So, why the struggle?
The magical abilities and ideas that these women have can literally heal the world. They can get rid of diseases, help others manifest amazing abundance, and heal a ton of emotional junk that we all experience (and need to heal) and yet actually taking those ideas and putting them into action often feels restrictive and against their very nature.
As a fellow airy-fairy, woo-woo-centric, hippy-dippy, out of the box-thinker, I know how incredible it is to have a dream that is so vivid and colorful that you could stay in your head forever, but I am also blessed with an uncanny ability to put those dreams into action. Inspired action that is.
The magic happens when we can effectively bring our glorious ideas down from the heavens and implement them in inspired-actionable-steps. And if you are like many of my clients, I know what you are thinking. “Ugh, actionable steps sounds pretty in the box to me.” or “I just like to go with the flow and see where the tide takes me.”
I get it. The idea of structure and schedules and dare I say accountability can make us enlightened folks cringe because it goes against all the free-flowing, belief-bustin’, let-me-do-it-my-own-way, nature, but I can promise you two things:
Without action & accountability, your dreams may stay fully alive in your imagination, but that is as far as they go.
AND
You CAN have structure and freedom while creating a thriving life & biz of your dreams.
The key is in following inspired action and creating structure that works for you.
There really isn’t a one size fits all plan on how to make your work come alive and if you have been fighting the good fight against a ‘schedule’ or ‘to do list’ because you want to keep your freedom status, then I invite you to look at freedom a bit differently.
Freedom implies you have a choice or an option to do as you please and when you can create a schedule or structure that works for YOU, you still have the freedom you crave. And when your business is thriving and soaring to new heights, you are capable of hiring out a ton of work that you don’t enjoy doing, but the choice is still yours.
So get out there and don’t be afraid of creating a bit of free-flowing-structure (that’s totally a thing) and begin following your heart to take inspired action.
The world needs your gifts & it’s up to you to share them.
What’s the #1 thing you have been resisting in your heart-centered biz because it feels too restrictive? Leave it in the comments below and share this post with your friends who could use a nudge to send their gifts out to the world!
I seem to be in the remedial school of life these days, learning and re-learning lessons that I thought I had mastered long ago (ok well some of them might be a few months old, but who’s counting?). Last week I was going through a particularly emotional lesson and now I have reached the sunrise or clarity portion of that lesson.
Here’s what I have learned.
Should you find yourself going through lessons you thought you learned, never fear. A perfect life is not without lessons. A ‘perfect’ life is the life you are living right now with lessons, love, connection, dreams, and a lot of growth.
It’s been a few days since my last post and honestly it is because I have been having a heck of a time with some Mercury Retrograde stuff. Not so much technological stuff (though there have been some missed emails and miscommunications along the way), as much as it has been a ton of reconfiguring and reworking some of my projects. If you are a fan of my Facebook page you already have heard the news that I am delaying opening registration for my group program…again.
Now, hear me out on this. It really is for the best of all involved.
If you know anything about Mercury Retrograde, you may know that it’s not a great time to make big purchases on computers, phones, cars etc. and you certainly don’t want to get married, sign a contract, get a new job etc. As a biz owner you also don’t want to launch a new project either because you open the door to missed connections, technological problems, delays, and many other frustrating things that could put a huge halt in your plans.
SO…
I am waiting on the launch. And there are some changes happening within the program behind the scenes. This is a great opportunity to make the best of Mercury Retrograde. RE-working, RE-vamping, RE-considering, RE-vitalizing, RE-viewing, etc. what I had planned so it is a great program for you. While there is a part of me that says “Yeah but, I already delayed it once and what if I lose potential participants because of it????”. There is a bigger part of me that realizes this is for the best.
As part of the reworking of the program, the guest teachers that were going to be a part of the program are no longer going to be teaching guest spots. Again, the little voice inside me said…”Yeah but, I already made the commitment and I should really just launch it now.” But the bigger voice said, it’s ok, it’s divine timing, it’s ALL GOOD.
To be honest as I was working and reworking the program (the first time), I felt some resistance to it. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I was procrastinating in the planning and everything felt forced. Even some of the meetings I had with the guest teachers. I couldn’t figure it out, but now I get it. Now I know what it was all about.
This is a lesson for me and for you. If something feels forced or you are feeling resistance in a project, a collaboration, or a service you are offering in your biz, it’s time to reconsider it. Dig a little deeper to see what is really going on and let it go. Maybe you need to trash it and start from scratch or maybe you just need to rework it, reconsider it, and bring some refreshing energy to it. There is no harm in that. I’m living proof.
Divine timing and all that jazz and with that comes another decision (I’m full of them aren’t I?).
With that said, make the best of this time (until July 1st) and don’t worry if things are delayed. Use this time to clear out the old and come back with fresh eyes. It really is for the best!
Big love to you all!

Many of the heart-centered business owners I work with are so deeply passionate about what they do that they want to share their message with the world…some of them literally. They KNOW how transformational their work is and they want to reach more and more people not just because it makes them money, but because they believe in what they do and they know they make a difference. They also realize that we are moving into a world of collaboration, community, and compassion for one another.
As a whole, the world is beginning to step out of the reality that we have to fight, compete, and compare ourselves to one another in order to succeed. Our new reality is one that allows us to combine our passions to create unique alliances that fulfill the equally unique needs of the world.
But HOW do you do that?
It has taken many business-owners years to figure out how to expand their vision so they can reach more people AND feel comfortable collaborating and creating the right alliances to make a bigger impact in the world. For most people it is a matter of trial and error while learning lessons along the way, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
You now have the opportunity to learn the FORMULA that will not only change how you operate and grow your business, but also how you interact with and contribute more to your community and the world.
On June 24th Creative Entrepreneur Crystal Davis is sharing her simple, yet powerful Formula for Collaboration + Expansion along with brief video on how to begin using it in your life and biz…and it’s FREE!
With this information you will understand how to:
• Create powerful collaborations in all areas of your life (business, friendships, love-ships + more)
• Understand how to use your strategic alliances to effortlessly contribute more to your family, community + the world
• Stop wasting time with alliances that don’t serve your highest purpose
• Honor your own truth whilst attracting abundance – the key to loving life!
