The question I often ask, both of myself and of those I help professionally, is, “What is it costing you not to know these things?”. Not just in money, but in time, in aggravation, in wasted stress and anxiety.
If you could make $1,000,000 a year, but currently make $250,000, it’s costing you $750,000 a year to not know how to make $1,000,000.
If you’ve found yourself in Business Buddha, and were 100% honest with your answers, congrats! Less than 10% of people who take the quiz find themselves in this rarified air.
If you’re think perhaps you’re still hanging on a bit to Anxious Philosopher or Peaceful Warrior here are a couple signs:
You
can take vacations if you like, and you have options. You can grow your business, move into a new business, you’ve got the proverbial “it” figured out.
Yet… you wake every day with a sinking “is this all there is feeling in your stomach.
I call this feeling Right Map-Wrong Mountain.
You followed all the rules and now have all of the things they told you would bring happiness and contentment and peace… yet you dont have it.
Worse yet, you feel isolated and alone…people don’t want to hear about your first-world problems…in fact… they likely think they want what you have.
If any of that rang true for you, you may very well be more firmly planted in the previous stage.
But as you move into Business Buddha, what I’ve found is that you’ve likely done much of the inner work required to know exactly what you want from your business and life…and most importantly…why
You are starting to build a business that serves your soul first, so that you can serve others. You’ve realized that more, more, more - for the sake of more - is not only not the answer, but it’s a fool's errand.
You’re starting to look more at legacy. Your values and who you want to become as an individual are the main drivers behind your actions.
Service, not just profit, is always top of mind.
It’s easier to say no to situations and people who no longer serve your highest good.
If the 6 Week Roadmap that we offer for the Anxious Philosopher is of interest to you, even as a tool to further teach those you work with and for, I encourage you to schedule a call.
What we typically offer at this stage of your journey is Strategic Thought Partnership. Think: an extra board member or advisor who is on call, can provide perspective, context, accountability, guidance and expertise. Someone who understands your business and motivations - but doesn’t require health insurance or an office.
It’s not inexpensive. And we don’t offer it to but 10% of the business owners who enquire. But it’s value can be limitless if you’re in a position to utilize all that it offers and there is only one way to find out.
Two Futures
Like most things around here, what I’ve built for you is simply all of the things I wish I had when I was in the trenches.
If any of this resonates with you in any way… I encourage you to book a virtual coffee with me (or a live coffee if you find yourself around Charlotte, NC).
There are two futures in front of you. One where you change nothing and go it alone. And one where you enlist the help of a new friend to get you to where you know you need to be faster than you ever dreamed possible.
You’ll often hear me say two things: That when the student is ready the teacher appears, and that I don’t believe in coincidences.
Holistic personal development becomes a foundation for your business success, including emotional intelligence, self-awareness, coaching, masterminds and continuous learning.
Balanced work-life integration positively influences your professional effectiveness. You are setting boundaries, managing time efficiently and fostering a supportive network that shares similar values.
Continued alignment of your business with your personal values. Seeking a positive impact both on your customers and your community.
A true understanding of all different forms of wealth, not just monetary. You begin to consciously define a mission that reflects your personal growth journey, ensuring that your business becomes a vehicle for positive and lasting impact.
