Unlikely Brand Thoughts

Anything that grows you, grows your movement (the thing we confusingly call your business).

Spend less time worrying about what makes you look good and more on what makes you grow good.

Self awareness + responsibility in all the ways that comes.

Tough conversations.

Break ups.

Make ups.

Travel.

Supporting others who will never become your clients (service/true generosity).

Eventually what makes you look good is what’s grown you — good. More now than ever in your world, these two need to become the same thing.

Personal development IS brand development.

In fact, it’s everything development.

Enjoy your business, enjoy your life!

Life is good,

So(ul) Rich (and our new mastermind)

When we get our hands dirty in service, near or far, supporting others who have not paid us a penny for that support, we get so(ul) rich.

Moving from donating money to (also/or) giving of our time is a unique experience and opportunity, and, as I realized recently supporting the refugees in a camp in Greece, an expression of a deeper engagement ~ a re-engagement ~ in life (and what it means in this day and age to do business and *give* from that business and the deeper part of ourselves).

In truth, energetically, from this active brand of generosity, comes the more physical or tangible prosperity you also want.

As I work on MGI’s next business mastermind, The CEO Soul Circle, whose intention it is to support the growth of your authentic brand and business revenue, while you also start or grow a cause close to your heart (a service trip together at the end of our six months will act as the so(ul) rich celebration), I’m sitting (sans the red dress ;)) in gratitude for following the nudge to create what is most needed.

Just as we can be moms AND moguls, grieve AND experience joy, have a healthy family AND our own healthy body, we can build financially-successful businesses AND also greatly fill our soul and purpose bank accounts. It needn’t always be about more for ourselves. It can be about more for all of us.

Message us if you’re interested in hearing more about our new mastermind starting in February. Right now, I’ve planned for the group to be small and a few spots are saved for current clients, but I’d love to make sure those who have followed my journey here, get the chance to see if it’s for them.

I can tell you this: it’s for you, the you who knows that folding greater generosity into her business model and baking it into her bottom line, is her business.

Enjoy your business, enjoy your life!

p.s. This new CEO Soul Circle mastermind is a business and brand mastermind group, however, different than other programs and groups out there right now, we also have infused the all-important piece of service — helping you either start or grow a cause close to your heart (and brand). Kindly email us for more info and we will happily send you the power PDF on it. xo!

Two Words All Businesses Need

Instead of focusing solely on growing your business to get, focus on growing it so you can give.

Expectations for the Modern Day Woman

Social justice + sacred activism + being extra human(itarian)…

Take away the fancy labels that may or may not have connected with you in the past, and realize that TODAY, this is you.

It’s us.

Those with a fire in our belly and activated voices, those, not just with ideas, but newfound energy to go anywhere it’s needed, emotionally or physically, knowing that, guided by the soul’s voice, we know exactly what to say, to whom and who, with joined hands and a fierce devotion, to create a solid, loud and consistent safety net around.

Those of us with voices (all of us, young and old) and those with platforms, need not only see ourselves in the light of these three ways of being in the world (social justice + sacred activism + bring extra human(itarian)), but begin to infuse more of the specifics of these elements into our programs, walking others through and waking them up to how they, too, can do more from their experience of feeling more than they have in a long, long time.

I went to a local ladies pow-wow with Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg yesterday (thank you again, Francine) and it was further confirmation of the responsibility to see that our care, concern and feelings of anger, fear or frustration are expressed in how we take responsibility for how we keep war, separation, fear and inequality alive in our homes, thoughts and daily actions, as well as in what we financially support, tolerate and, of course, how we do business.

Bye, bye to time business as usual.

I can’t wait to share more about my process delving further into these topics and infusing more of these ways of being in the world into my groups and programs.

In thanks giving for the energy to support, not only an actively female-friendly society, but an everyone-friendly world and doing it alongside you.

Life is good,
