Prepare Your ‘Being’

1. Realize you have a choice.

In everything you do. You are a hero in your own journey.

Be the fucking hero you are. Choose to serve your higher nature.

2. Embrace change and uncertainty.

Or don’t.

Either way it’ll be happening around you and through you. Might as well learn to work with it.

I am:

[tweetmeme] A mom of two amazing kids, a gardener, an artist, a pastor, a mentor, a daughter, and a friend.

My passion is for:

Kids of all ages (especially mine) and their families. I have spent my career working with youth (6th – 12th grade) and their families. I love the energy, the openness, the excitement, of youth. They have so much to tell and teach us adults. Some of my most powerful experiences in life have come because of these amazing people.

For me.

Before I began writing this blog one year and nine months ago, I’d never published a damn thing under my name. My past writing experiences consisted of:

• scratching angrily in my journal
• dreaming up poorly-constructed and never finished Lois & Clark and X-Files fanfiction

AND once I had left the tortured years of teen-dom

• penning mildly clever marketing copy

When I decided to leave corporate marketing, and shape a business around my vision for my life, what I knew definitively was that I wanted to write more. At the time, I really didn’t care how, I just knew I needed to do it.

[tweetmeme] Sometimes, as business owners, our fear gets the better of us. It’s inevitable.

Running a business is fucking hard. It’s especially brutal on the self-confidence.

We can’t acknowledge our progress. We want to feel more sure. We want someone to tell us our answers.

There are so many unknowns, and we are risking a lot. What if WE are wrong?

No idea what to do.

When I feel “the questions” weighing me down, I remind myself that my business is no different than my travels.

I’ve been tracking a few things.

[tweetmeme]I’ve been Googling “Innerpreneur” since June 2008 or maybe before… but I didn’t start collecting data on the results until this year, 8 Jan 09.

When I first started Googling the term, the first 10 or so pages were about the Ron Rentel book, Karma Queens, Geek Gods and Innerpreneurs.

On January 8th of this year there were 8070 results on the web for “Innerpreneur”.

When I checked again, just right now (December 6th – 4:12 EST), there were 40,300 results for “Innerpreneur”.

That’s 500% growth. How you like them apples?

The results for “Innerpreneur” are no longer just about the book anymore either. They’re now about the soul of the matter, they’re about us. Our businesses and our dreams.

1. You

[tweetmeme]Don’t worry about the business idea before you’ve come to understand your Self and your gifts, and what you want from your business. Starting with the idea is starting the process in the middle. Your idea isn’t going to make your business a success, you are. So do the work and find your answers. Discover what it is that you would really love to do. For it’s not the idea that that is going to shoot you into the stratosphere, it’s the quality of You that is turning the idea into a reality.

2. Your Relationships
