We tend to think too absolutely.  It’s such a big deal to launch a business around the foundation of our true calling that we often hold back because we think it’s a matter of all or nothing.

We somehow imagine that if we’d really identified our calling we’d feel more fired up and confident.  Who says?  That hasn’t been my experience.  Even considering a true calling is frightening.

Why then do we put so much added pressure on the decision by insisting that we have to have every detail figured out before we make our move?

It’s more effective to ease into new engagements so we can get a feel for things and try them on for size.  It’s especially easier to ease gently into bold new enterprises.  But our monkey mind makes us think that we’ve got it have it all right now.

How’s that working for you?

It certainly hasn’t worked well for me.  I’ve learned that the market place pays us for completions.  So how are you ever going to get paid for something if you never begin?

What can you do about it?  You know that the delay of over-analyzing is costing you dearly.  You know that many of the reasons you hesitate, you’ve made up, in order to protect your most vulnerable self.

Here’s the bottom line.  If you really want to start that new business and enjoy the fulfillment and prosperity of true calling – you must begin as soon as you see an opening.

There is always a next step of something that you can do now.  If you don’t see your next step towards your calling and want to see it, take me up on my offer below.

I’m here to help. My mission is to end under-earning and vocational confusion.

The essence of my work as a true calling coach is clarity and action. Everything I do is designed to help you empower your core self and to increase the clarity of your calling.  Both authentic empowerment and clarity of calling cannot happen solely within your mind.

Engagement is the only thing that empowers and clarifies true calling.

That’s right just like riding a bike you’ve got to first get on the bike of your most likely calling and ride it around the block.  Only from actually living the experience of a calling will you see further into it and only after clarifying it will you feel the boost of power needed to realize it.

In other words, you must begin living your calling to see it more clearly and the enthusiasm for your calling cannot come without that clarity.

You know how you feel now while hesitating and confused.  Can you imagine what it will feel like to be prosperously rewarded for making a difference through your calling?

If you are ready to do something about it - attend the Big Link Rally in Pittsburgh on January 2.

At the rally you’ll discover/validate your calling and take action towards building a profitable business around it.  I guarantee it or I’ll refund all of your money.

Contact me here to set up a no obligation coaching session to determine your next calling step and be sure to ask about the current discount offer that expires on 11-27-09.

I’ve been thinking about you this morning.  I’ve been thinking about how much you really want to solve out of your work fulfillment and money challenges.

I truly want to help you end your confusion, suffering and dismay around work and money.   I want that for you from the bottom of my heart.

I want you to know that when certainty of calling appears – natural, abundant confidence and enthusiasm come along for the ride.   Everyone wants to work with folks who are delightfully high on life.

You too can be up for your work without having to get up for it.

I was thinking back to my years of struggle around this issue.  One of the things that truly perplexed me was that up until this year, I’ve always earned more money doing soul-less sales work than authentic work, inspired by my own guidance.   It just didn’t seem right.

I thought that making authentic choices was enough to get the money flowing.   It should be that simple and it is but only after you commit, stay focused and act to create your one main thing, your true calling.

I didn’t do that.   I compromised my dreams.    I tried to hedge my bets.  I listened to too many others who thought their way would work for me.   This all resulted in business building that was a little bit safer and a whole lot smaller than I could have created.  Can you relate?

True calling is such an intensely personal experience.   A true calling business champions individual expression like no other enterprise because a true calling business is constructed in order to leverage authentic individuality.

I’m there now, in the Promised Land of Right Livelihood and it’s glorious but a bit lonely.   I want you here with me.   I struggled with earning enough money from doing what I wanted to do for years.   But I stubbornly kept at it because even in my under-earning  – I valued my freedom more than anything.

Stay stubborn on that one, will you?  Please don’t quit; we need your deep gladness.

I’m thinking deeply about you right now and I asked this question.   What did I ultimately come to know and understand about authentic potentiality  that you may not yet be aware of?

Because even though our individuality is authentically distinct, I understand that there are certain points of knowing that all great women and men come to see.

The process of transformation like all authentic adventure is a journey into the unknown.   August Turak

Of course it’s an adventurous into the unknown.  If you already knew your truest of callings you’d be living it and enjoying the abundant rewards for serving.

But you’ve hung in there as well, haven’t you?  There’s a wise and loving part of you who knows that much more life is possible for you.

I sense since you’re still reading that you may be ready to accept some truths that you may not quite see.  You may be ready to accept what I know with certainty about you and your calling.

No kidding, your life will change today if you fully accept what you are about to hear.  Your life will change even faster if you act on that sacred acceptance.

Please share in the comments which knowing inspired you the most?  Feel free to ask how I know them to be true for you.   Pay particular attention to those that you resist accepting.

Most importantly, if you accept these knowings, could  join us in Pittsburgh on Jan. 2  for the Big Link Rally and have yet to commit, what else are you waiting  for?

Know This

I understand that your fear around the responsibility of actually following a true calling. I’ve felt that fear and it shifts once you recognize your power for good.

Some of you fear your capacity to follow through and succeed. Some of you question if you’re wise enough or strong enough to make a difference.

Some of you are skeptical that such a thing as a true calling even exists for you. As a skeptic, are you afraid of your power so you deny the existence of something as sacred as a personal vocation?

Really, what’s your excuse? Do you want to believe in the existence of a true calling for you?

Have you been hiding from your power? Have you been running from it? Really, there is nothing to fear.

There is nothing to fear because the power isn’t within your calling. The power is within you.

I’ve been doing a lot of deep thinking around the essence of my work. I’ve been really digging into the core quality that fulfilled clients feel from working with me.

I want as many folks as possible to work and live their true callings because of the compounding nature of calling. True calling is the most powerful gift that keeps on giving.

What could be better than experiencing people who are wild about their work all day long? But also by working a calling we become wealthier and increase our capacity and generosity in direct service to others.

But let’s not talk about them. Let’s talk about you.

How confident are you of your true power?

I’m talking about your basic human power of creation. The power that allows you to create the life you most want to live.

Here’s what I’ve come to understand about the dynamic value of my work.

1). I inspire personal recognition of your own powerful core self.

2). I provide guidance to the clarity of your personal true calling.

3). As a result of the above recognitions you boldly express authentically, in service to others and that creates the value that others pay for.

Please notice the order of the progression.

Please understand that before prosperity comes clarity of calling and before clarity of calling comes recognition of power.

Money is a by-product of enthusiastic, authentic expression.

Expressing authentically in every way is your true calling. But before that expression stands a chance of being heard it must be identified by you and presented well so that others will see it as something they want.

But even all that isn’t enough if you don’t first step into your place of power and accept the responsibility to serve that comes with that freedom.

You can’t step into your power without being aware that you have it. Your awareness comes from recognizing, realizing and remembering that you have a capacity for greatness.

That capacity was meant to serve you and serve those whom you serve and it does no one any good if you do not fully exercise it. By recognizing your power you fulfill your sacred covenant represented by the gift of your individuality.

I know you’re afraid. We are all afraid at the point of our power, especially when we begin to grasp the enormity of our reach and the thousands of people we can positively influence.

But I’m here to tell you that the fear shifts once you commit to serving through the vehicle of your true calling.

Fear shifts when you first recognize your power and ask to remember all the good that was meant for you and for those you most want to serve.
