Do you hear that voice inside of you calling you? The call to shift you and move toward your zone of genius. With every breath you take, you feel the pull to weave light into the world. Each step you’ve taken, in the pain and joy of your journey has had a purpose that brought you to this moment. All of these experiences define your unique perspective and beautiful lens which will be your zone of genius in being of loving service to the community.

Some of us are leaders by title. All of us are leaders in life.

Whether we have a job title that denotes leadership or not – we are all leaders. We lead in our career, our business, and our relationships. Every time we engage with another human, we are in a moment of deciding how we will lead -how we will show up in that conversation.

As business owners, it’s common to feel the weight of having to know everything and do it all well. Though we feel called to start our business from our passion and purpose, we may not immediately have the capital to invest in staffing, employees, or subcontractors. Instead, we feel like we have no choice but to do it all. However, when entrepreneurs wear too many hats, we become stretched thin, frustrated, annoyed, and overwhelmed. If we don’t take steps to relieve the pressure, we can quickly become burned out.

The best news is that we don’t always need financial capital to be able to find economical ways to delegate duties within our business. There are creative business and compensation models that can support your heart as the business owner, create work opportunities with someone else’s areas of strength, and in turn increase community reach and profit of your business.

Spring

The season of new beginnings

The time for new possibilities.

April showers bring May flowers – which will be nice, but let’s get real! We are all hoping that it also brings some calm to our current pandemic. Hands up if you have had enough?

I will look back at the past month - April 2021 - with two vastly different perspectives. Being based in Ontario, the 3rd lock-down is very heavy on the heart. I pray for all those that are essential or front-line workers and for the parents who are managing the combination of school and their jobs/careers. These are extremely difficult times.
