Welcome to a new year! One of my teachers calls this year, the Year of Enchantment. I believe that part of Enchantment is Grace and the experience of Graceful Business.

So what on earth is Graceful Business? I looked up Graceful and Business in the dictionary and here’s what I found.

There are a lot of words thrown around in sales these days that don’t feel so graceful, like explosive, turbo-charged, get on the fast-track (or get left behind), and you’ve probably heard others.

The question really is: What do you want?

For some people words like explosive ring their bell, and that’s fine. But what if you aren’t explosive or turbo-charged? What if, for goodness sake, fast isn’t a fit for you? It doesn’t mean you’ll get left behind (like it can sometimes feel when you read some of the words out there).

The question becomes: Where do you go to build your business? How do you grow your business and income, and take actions that fit you and that feel like YOU (rather than someone else’s idea of you)?

I found over the last few years that what my clients really wanted was Graceful: whether it was Graceful Business or Graceful Marketing or Graceful Income…easeful, elegant movement that felt like them and produced results.

What about you?

Begin to consider where your business feels graceful and where it doesn’t. Look at your day, your schedule, your sales and marketing and, of course, your money and income.

What could make all of the pieces of the “growing your business” puzzle more graceful, more fun and more profitable? If you’d like to chat about building your business more gracefully just email me at anne@beyondbusinessasusual.com to schedule some time to talk.

And if you’d like to read more about my coaching approach click here.

Next week I’ll talk about how I set up a Graceful Day and how you can do it too. Until then feel free to leave a comment.

Welcome to Living Gracefully Free,

How does the pressure and struggle begin? Often it’s when we’re children. We hear admonishments like:

Settle down!
Hurry up!
You’re too pushy!
Lighten up!

They go against our true nature, but we don’t have a lot of options, we’re kids.

When we grow up and start our own business we get conflicted. Should we follow our real, true energy or do we hear those critical voices inside our head and stop ourselves?

So, often, we live conflicted with our true nature and natural power.

In this preview call, you’ll begin to see how to recapture your unique presence and power and how to use it to your best advantage, from your marketing to the actual running of your business.

It’s hard to both feel graceful and conflicted at the same time: and so we will begin to solve that conundrum.

You will start to see how to resolve the conflicts, claim your unique presence and power so that your brand emerges naturally, your marketing flows creatively, and attracting money becomes easy and graceful.

I know this call will give you relief and a new possibility of who you can be in your world. Click here to register for the call and click here to read more and register for the workshop.
