BLBW Ep #12: Screw the Hustle: 6 Ps to a Pleasurable and Profitable Business

April 9, 2017

The impetus to hustle is strong out there.  In the corporate world, in the online business world.  

Struggling and striving is the way of the world, and many heart-centered business folks get sucked in.  But the hustle isn’t sustainable.  I’m not saying that success doesn’t require effort. I am saying, that success is a long game. It is a series of fundamental steps, vs a few grand slam moments.

This week’s episode was inspired by thoughts that came out of listening to a talk by Walter Nusbaum at Catalyst Denton  (You can find his original talk here).

Walter’s talk got me thinking when he asked, “What does it take to reap the rewards?” I started thinking about the elements of pleasurable and rewarding success.

I came up with 6 Ps of a Pleasurable and Profitable Business. 

 

 1) Be Persistent

  • When one has the capacity to create big chunks of revenue, it isn’t uncommon to think “If onlyI can hit the grand slam home run – everything will right itself.”
  • This thinking creates a tension in our body
  • Free throws, layups and … win games… not the 3 point shots
  • The quick fix is in demand but doesn’t reap the true rewards. 
  • Frequency over Intensity.
  • Hustling is not sustainable.
  • You can run further if you run slower. Click To Tweet

2) Be Prolific

  • You think you have to write the whole book but….
  • If you put out a little paragraph out every day, it creates a cumulative effect
  • Do a little bit every day
  • Create continually

3) Be Patient

  • Exponential success factor – people often quit just before the success really hits
  • **Part of being patient is being persistent
  • Walter – “The rewards come at the end”
  • Where is my revenue? Seems like it’s going to pay things from behind…
  • Sometimes I think what job could I get that would pay my net… it would have to be a sales job. AND… I’m in a sales job right now… we all are… if you’re an artist/entrepreneur you are in sales.. you are worrying about your own problems instead of someone else’s for security

4) Perspective

  • You are too easy on yourself
  • You are so hard on yourself
  • Get perspective.  Spiral in and spiral out. 
  • Having a coach is super helpful in getting perspective. 

“Allowing pleasure shows up on the balance sheet of your soul.” - Allison Crow Click To Tweet

5) Be Present

  • Mindfulness, presence, and awareness, the Divine – bring it into your business.
  • When we are present we drop below the automatic thinking.
  • What is true for you deeper than your thoughts?
  • Tune into your spiritual guides.

6) Prophet first then Profit.

****You can Profit first when you Prophet first.  Here is the blog post from this week on Prophet First or Profit First http://allisoncrow.com/profit-first-or-prophet-first/

How are you resting today?
Standard Operating Principles for WONKY times. Ne Standard Operating Principles for WONKY times.  New episode of the Better Life Better Work Show #podcast went live this am. It’s been a while… and I’m easing back in with this perfectly imperfect episode and cover 😍
It is Sunday morning. I've spent more than the la It is Sunday morning.  I've spent more than the last 15 days (really more) taking care of other people mostly.  This morning - this day, is for ME.  I'm itching to settle into my own SELF-Presence.  And the itch is a part of re-acclimation.  The last 15+ days were special circumstances that required a burst of increased and intense care and delivery.  Could I sustain EVERY Day being like that? I have no desire to move that much or that fast on a regular basis. 
 

This morning, I step back into slow, back into nourishing practices.  And I allow it to be glitchy instead of smooth. I allow it to be what it is. 

This morning is for the Sacred within...and this afternoon a dip in my pool, and grilling on the patio with my man. 

Tomorrow is my favorite - Monday mornings with Soulies...and Tuesday, a new sacred leadership circle opens 💛 - 

Both/And, BEcoming, Woman of Range, CULTIVATE 🌿 and miracles 🐞 one after the other for my family. I'll take it!  Even if it involved me doing the realtorish thing for a week straight. 😵‍💫

PS.  I have renewed appreciation for my real estate agent friends, and for those caring for either kids or parents - that is some serious overstimulation living. 

No matter where I am, here in my sacred studio office, or out and about, or in the tornado of my thinking...my breath brings me home.
Hello Strong Successfull Woman—- woman identifyi Hello Strong Successfull Woman—- woman identifying or non binary human. who might be a lil weary and looking for a nurturing, light, deep, special - with a splash of creativity and full of Self-Leadership, Cultivation, and Creation life coaching for business people group- my year long leadership circle start this coming 💛Tuesday. 

2 intimate group calls a month…. 
1 private session a month. 
1 Equus and creativity coach in Santa Fe this fall…..
+ a gift year of the Soulies Membership if you desire. 

2 spots left. Scratch this photo and sniff the energetic aroma of your soul and this lil post…. Liens to your heart. 

Achievement level business owners and history of business success and stability that aren’t in the ‘how-to” and early growth phase - are the best fit.  Reinvention after previous solid success also a fit. 

Oh and… I lowered my leadership circle fees from 18k to 12k - honestly it’s easy to get sucked into the “raise your rates” game and with inflation, I just didn’t want to - and I wanna get off the “do what you’re ’supposed’ to train of mass media- I wanna truly cultivate my life and work- and often that goes against the grain. 

This circle goes against the grain. 
Let me know if you want to talk.

Today I notice I have lots of feelings and emotion Today I notice I have lots of feelings and emotions floating around... and my first instinct is to suppress my sensitivity and get on with the day.  And then I remember these feelings, these sensations, these memories, these moments are the BEST in life.  Missing these sensitive moments would be a tragedy. 
I'm here to feel it all.

New #colorpalettes Once, a coach asked me what the New #colorpalettes Once, a coach asked me what the heck my painting and doodles have to do with my coaching - as I’m NOT an art coach. She said including these things in my branding was confusing since  all of my clients are small business owners and corporate leaders.  That is EXACTLY why I include my creative life in my professional feeds and why I bring watercolor paints and paper to my retreats for business women. 

I think it can be confusing to be in any life without some creative practice. I’m also here to dispel that to play in creativity, one has to quit their jobs and move to the woods and be a hippie painter. Many of my professional clients, men, women, non-binary… have not lost their professional mojo or set it aside. They have just added creative practices to their life as a way of being… and it brings them back to life. 

If my messaging is confusing - I’m ok with that. But if the essence of what I share inexplicably touches your soul- my messaging is working just fine 💛 #professionalwoman #businesscoach #selfleadershipcoach #watercolorpainting #creativewomen #soulfulsuccess #cultivate
