“But, there’s a third way…  Peace.

I will give you RESPITE FROM DESPAIR and help you dream of POSSIBILITY WITHOUT FEAR.  And that results in PEACE.

That’s what I do.  It’s my superpower.  I give people the gifts of PEACE, CLARITY, and OPTIMISM, every single time they have an honest conversation with me.  If you are truly willing to be open and vulnerable, this is the result I can offer to you…”

“Every successful star of anything only got that way by offering others incredible value. The question “What do you want?” ALWAYS leads to what we want for others as well. So, embrace your daydreams, and clarify their content on 5 levels…”

“I don’t know how creativity got the reputation that it did.  I realize that some people are “artists”, but I tend to find that classification breaks down under scrutiny.  We can all be artists at what we do.

And perhaps it wasn’t always so…”

“It is a vision of the ideal, on all these levels, that truly turns a human into a thoughtful, driven, purposeful leader and agent for positive transformation with a mature understanding of tradeoffs and reverence for the collective trauma we carry together through this strange and wonderful world…”

I’ve been talking to people who are investing their way out of their careers, retiring, building something new, or simply looking to make a shift.  They are all plagued by some kind of fear or uncertainty about what their lives look like on the other side.  What is their purpose?  And how do we make peace with our imperfect inheritance to free our souls, forgive our well-intentioned elders, truly break from the trauma of the past, and see where we want to go with our freedom?

As a coach I work in what I call the “Realm of Purpose”.  It’s the highest human mindset, and it is a place to COMPLETELY deconstruct all of our social behaviors.  And I do mean COMPLETELY.  It’s why people are able to be so vulnerable there.  We see the human condition for what it is.  NOTHING is sacred there, and that makes EVERYTHING sacred.  The only sanctity is sanctity itself.  All else is up for discussion.

Trust me when I tell you this kind of conversation will help you see, think, and act on a level you have likely never glimpsed before, and that will change your life with power you have never had…

Whenever I start working with someone new, or reconnect with a current client, I begin a conversation with them.  I’m listening for two very specific things.

I call them the two “-rations”, and they both reveal something very important…

Here’s something I notice about entrepreneurial creatives.  They LOVE to start new things, and the fear and challenge that comes with it NEVER goes away!

You would think that after the third or so it would, but no.  Not for me at least.  Every single business I have ever grown has felt the same.  Exhilarating, but uncertain.  Thrilled by each new prospect, dejected from each new rejection….

When I meet and first talk to discouraged leaders who are struggling to scale their visions and persuade the right people to do the right things, they are typically VERY busy. Like, doing stuff ALL the time. Sometimes practically running themselves RAGGED. It’s actually REALLY common. Can you relate?

But, here’s the secret truth. Ready?…

So, struggling with sales?  Grow the leadership.  Struggling with your team?  Grow the leadership.  Struggling to grow the company?  Grow the leadership.

How do we grow leadership?…

The one thing is this: persuading the RIGHT PEOPLE to take the RIGHT ACTIONS.

That’s it.  If you feel unsuccessful in any way I guarantee it’s related to that.  Here are some of the places you might look…

In the approaching world, so full of abundance and interconnection, we cannot afford to draw these distinctions any longer. Doing so will constantly limit our vision and keep crucial parts of ourselves from communicating with others. In this age of interconnectivity, the most important connections are those we make within our own minds, souls, and spirits.

Imagine the world in which all of us shed these boundaries and truly liberate our visionary potential. Each of us proceeding with confidence as entrepreneurs, creators, leaders in our own right, vibrant with intentional life purpose, perpetually animated by vision. Is this not the utopian world we all crave?

This is the era to do it - rich with the self-awareness of healing and possibility. Human history has thus aligned. Start with yourself and go make it happen.

For humans, actions are a POSSIBILITY BAROMETER. A person acts based on what they think is possible, and therefore each person's actions reveal what they think is possible.

What do YOUR actions reveal about your sense of possibility? How are you strengthening your sense of possibility today?

NOTE: This is long. But worthwhile. It’s the closest I’ve come to a coherent statement of my transformational entrepreneurial philosophy, and this perspective is the source of all the healing power I channel into the company cultures with which I work. I hope you will take the time to read it and contemplate its implications.

Sometimes, actually often, and even almost all the time, I contemplate the origins of the human race and all that the process has given us, both joys and burdens.

Something else I realized...

Every human is taking the actions they think will give them the best return at the moment. Otherwise they would take different ones.

👉👉👉 We take actions based on what we think is POSSIBLE 👈👈👈

So, how do you know what's possible? Simple: spend some time…

Life is frustrating. The world is frustrating. Forces beyond our control are frustrating. The way things mysteriously align at times to give us setbacks is frustrating. And people. People are so dang frustrating, aren’t they? I know all of this and I share your frustration. Every now and then I need to vent too.

Venting has its place. But be VERY careful not to stay there for too long…

Do you believe it’s possible to make mistakes? I don’t.

Let me explain that though.

A couple months ago I had lunch with a friend and client of mine…

Here is some extremely PRACTICAL life advice. Teach it to those around you and watch their lives improve along with yours.

There are two ways to determine what you WANT. But you must balance them and see them for what they are or you will misuse them and get more of what you DON'T want instead of what you DO…
