We hear a lot about mind, body and soul and how important it is to "connect". It’s definitely been a prominent life lesson for me and others on a personal level. But what about the mind, body and soul of your business?
Most entrepreneurs tend to rely primarily on their intellect. Yes, even the most soulful service providers tend to default to the intellect when it comes to matters of business.
I am here to challenge the status quo and invite you to fully and authentically connect who you really are with what you do or provide for your clients.
"People Don't Understand What I Do"
More often than not the "business" strategies we are taught are not necessarily in alignment with how we genuinely want the relationships with our clients to unfold. This puts us in a place of incongruence. We have something of great value we know will help or possibly even provide a transformational experience for our clients, yet the methods to which they find us and the words we use to describe our products and service are not an adequate reflection of the benefits available to them through a relationship with us.

Lead with Your Heart
Get out of your head into the heart of your business
Expand your circle of influence. I’m not talking about just making more contacts with customers and clients. I’m talking about expanding the awareness of your heart. Your heart is a magnificent center of intelligence with a magnetic resonance 5000 times greater than your brain! Your heart is receiving energetic information from your surroundings (and beyond) long before your brain (intellect) begins its processing and sorting duties.
When you can passionately and purposefully support your clients from your heart first, then the words or marketing materials you share with others will automatically be an authentic expression of who you really are.
Because honestly, nobody really cares about how much you ‘know’ until they know how much you ‘care’.

Sometimes it Takes More than One Brain
I know you are passionate about what you do. And if you are reading this I can assume that you also have a desire to help a lot of people, make a difference in your community or even the world. You also want to contribute financially to your family and your own personal growth and expression. Although your organization may be small... maybe just you... I want you to know that just because you are a soul-o-preneur does not mean you have to build your business alone. All successful people work with 'thinking' partners of some form or fashion. A coach, mentor or confident that can hold the 'sacred space of possibility' for you, creating a safe and confidential place for your creativity to thrive and grow into action.
Here’s a common mistake that most small business owners don’t even realize is making! They already feel like they are in ACTION – they are so busy doing it all (by themselves) that they can’t imagine adding one more thing to their overloaded to-do list. (Sound familiar?)

"Practice doesn't make Perfect. Perfect Practice makes Perfect." ~ Pat Parelli
A natural horsemanship trainer whose methods I study is famous for the above quote. It reminds me of the definition of insanity; doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results! If your business practices are not creating the results you envision then it's time to 'perfect your practice!'
You don't have to be perfect to begin. Truthfully, nobody's perfect, nor do we need to be. However, you may have heard the expression, “Do the first thing first.” Well, I’d like to add that not only do you need to do the ‘first thing first’; you need to do the ‘first thing right!’ When I started my own soulful service practice I didn't even know what the 'first thing was'! Many budding soul-o-preneurs are doing the right things in the wrong way and many are doing the wrong things really, really well!
Aaargh! – It’s exhausting, frustrating, overwhelming and doesn’t save you time or make you money.

Speaking of Money
Let me ask you this, Do you LOVE your children? How about your dog, partner, husband, wife, parents, best friend, boyfriend, God, chocolate, horses, disco music, soccer, making love, the ocean… Yourself?
"Well Schelli", you might argue, "money is different. We need money to survive, I don’t like having to need or rely on money to survive."
And I will respond, "Yes, I understand your independent nature – that is why you are an entrepreneur!" And then I will lovingly point out that money is merely a method of exchange, an exchange of energy, of giving and receiving.
- Do you LOVE money? I mean, truly, deeply, madly love money? Hhmmm...
- Do you feel that money is a necessary evil?
- Do you wish you could just provide your service and never have to charge anyone or ask for money?
- Do you believe that most people don’t have enough money and can’t afford your service your product?
