We just got back from the market and soccer practice and have to quickly make these veggies for our tired soccer player but not before we celebrate with you (celebrate with us!) ~ today was an epic day growing the Greater Good Party!

We spoke to two people — one in NYC and one in the Bay Area who will be hosting editions of the GGP.

Josh and I will fly out for each, speak and moderate and will be assisting to plan/ design each one.

To end the night, we also emailed with a third person in NorCal who had reached out a bit back about doing one…

You’ve seen us start it and now we’re giddy (giddy ~> goofy) to continue to share with you how it grows ~ how anything grows.

What you, too, want to build will come together if you:

• stick with it,
• bring other passionate people in to help you build it and,
• best of all, believe from the second you start that it will happen and be even more magical than you imagined.

And, let’s not forget that small is beautiful. Just look at your young children. Resist the urge to judge the size of anything as you’re growing it!

In other words, if you’re passionate about that certain something, that big heart/vision/belief will lead you to the impact you’re meant to make and it WILL be big.

Enjoy your business, enjoy your life!

Life is good,

You’re not the traditional or typical anything. 

The second, maybe a minute before the second we start to feel boxed in by something or like we “are all of the sudden” part of the expected, it’s time to change. 

A change — the change — you’ve known you’ve needed to make, but ignored for enough time that continuing on this way, following rules, yet still not ‘making happy’ made you feel there was something wrong (not with the situation but with you).

Whether this is by an online business or an industry — by a relationship, a family, a political party, by whatever to whatever extent — ONCE YOU BECOME AWARE [of that expectation or that you’re on or have been on a hamster wheel of doing what everyone else is doing, thinking or showing because you haven’t asked more of yourself] — YOU BECOME ACCOUNTABLE. 

Remember that you’re not the traditional or typical anything — follow the rules of who you naturally are, follow/run wild with the ideas that come to you. 

It all helps you to reinvent, not get too complacent. [Reinvent Regardless — could be a show or it could be a life path. Reinvent regardless of what everyone else is doing (and that they, too, are not loving)]. 

Our values may hold strong and steady, but we are not typically anything — we are not the expected. 

We are human (not the expected…we change our minds all the time and we are multi-passionate and multi-everything all the time). 

And, we are soul (not the expected…we follow what feels right, what lights us up and that’s never the same thing all the time and it’s not doing what other souls have deemed their thing). 

I’m not the traditional or typical [fill in the blank] woman, man, mother, father, daughter, son, Democrat, Republican, business owner, creative, advisor, nurse, manager, marketer, health nut, coach, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, lover, forgiver, thinker, student, teacher, leader, consumer, thinker, doer, devotee to the creative/expressive life…

Sometimes the toughest thing we can do and that also holds the most weight — value — is holding strong to unique values and ideas and moving on them with the confidence that it’s all going to work, no matter how strong the tide is to move like the masses.

Enjoy your business, enjoy your life!

It’s true.

Whatever you’re selling or doing as your chosen work, whether it’s a service or a product like Eva’s brand, Couture Culture, which MGI helped name and brand/message, it must (it gets to) come from a place of depth.

People can feel depth. And, as I told her as she walked out the door after reviewing her site design and mapping out her sales strategy with stores here in LA, energy is everything.

Energy comes from that place of seeing or understanding that what you’re actually selling isn’t a product or a service…it isn’t to your clients. It’s about more for them, so you get to find out what that more is…

Dig deep or be your deep self, whichever comes first or needs to come first. It will aid in your happiness (because being yourself is exactly that — success) and all of the above will assist you in getting the numbers or the business results you want.

Again, business isn’t ever that far off from life or from what’s personal. And, it’s never simply about surface sales, conversations or stories. We get to tell the ones we want to tell and that means something to us, not the ones we think we need to tell for a particular result.

The way you live your life off the page — or the way you *want* to live your life — is the way you can live, create and express inside your business…

In fact, it’s really smart to — that way you never forget who you are. (-;
 
Enjoy your business, enjoy your life!
