Discover the key to creating a lasting and impactful body of work with my top tip.
In somatics, pushing too hard or pushing your movements beyond the limit of your body’s comfort is counterproductive. It causes additional strain, contraction, and injury. Instead, we engage the smallest movements with full awareness to open, soften, and strengthen the soma’s pathways.
In this way bit by bit we build a platform of full mobility and freedom on all levels. You cannot engage somatics from green light.
Similarly, most start-ups and new ventures fail in the first one to three years because the founders urge to go fast and push beyond the natural cycle.
The statistic is even higher in the transformational coaching and counselling services milieu. Founders often feel the elation of early success and the inner urge for more and faster. Differentiating too fast, looking at the next version before fully developing a rich, deep foundation, and truth testing as a true Master of their new craft predicts failure.
Driven by excitement and possibility they feel assured they must go into the next step. Most startups in the transformational services field never make it. I know hundreds of these cases and have witnessed thousands of others.
The Bold & Visible Integrated Business Method is predicated on going deep, gaining true mastery, and laying a solid foundation before differentiating to new products, services, and significant scaling. It builds in the somatic pulse that allows you to expand and regulate along with your new venture. It generously curates a new pace, patience, and embodied rhythm. This NEW business model includes YOU. The space to grow safely to take bigger and bigger risks and own your value in your bones.
We approach building our premium-value body of work just like learning the floor work. Notice … is going slowly agitating me? What do I miss when I speed through the movements? What happens when I mentalize my floor work, thinking, "I know this already; let’s move on?”
Building your unique body of work - one that is solid and will grow abundantly for the rest of your life - rests on simple, slow, deliberate movements, repeated and repeated with patience and awareness.
This model helped me build high-value ventures in the conventional world, and it is how I built and am building the Bold & Visible Empire of Love and Impact.
As our brilliant Somatic Educator Ethann Elwayns always says …
“When in doubt, smaller and slower.”
