Really like the phrase “true calling sweet spot” in your recording. That says it all. I think of a true calling as some activity that coalesces all the threads of one’s life into a flexible and strong rope upon which one can pull in a fortune with meaning or meaning with an attached fortune.

In a sense, it is like what Jung called individuation. This is the process of giving expression to all the parts of oneself.

As we postulate that we each have a true calling that is ether discovered or yet to be discovered, we are true to our own individual uniqueness.

Whatever that is, that is the “sweet spot” and it is unmistakable if we resonate with it.

Chris – Yeah, what are you going to do. Stuff happens and we respond. It probably won’t be the last time but this time everybody wins. Keep making that lemonade.

Myrna – Glad you like the recording. Keep asking yourself for each tip. How might I apply this to my business?

Barb – Welcome! Thanks for your kind words of support. Humanity does need each of us to express to fulfill our blessings of uniqueness. I hope it acts as permission for others. Imagine a world where more of us are eager to serve gloriously.

Cathy – Welcome! Another action gal! Absolutely I’m in tune with your comment. Nature doesn’t sweat small adjustments. Nature just breathes and evolves. We can as well but as thinking individuals we can evolve mush more rapidly through choice.

Evan – Thanks for your supportive comments on discipline. You may be surprised to know that few have the courage to say what you did. Yet I don’t see it working long term for folks either. Regarding your wholistic approach, that’s a good fit for you. Perhaps you could keep digging into the well of understanding why that speaks to you so much. Glad you took the time to listen to the audio. It is well structured and grounded and anyone will find at least one approach on it that will work for them.

I’ve begun.

I like the approach of establishing the requirements. I like the groundedness of this.

I think discipline rarely works – it is great for getting through emergencies but is draining long term.

I think my one true calling has to do with wholism – it cuts across the ‘silos’/compartments that things are put in. Not sure how to communicate this yet. The most concrete way I have of saying this is that I am interested in health rather than just one part of it (food, exercise, thinking, feeling, relationships, whatever).

My big course correction so far is moving from hoping to make money from my blog directly to using it to build an audience and credibility and make money other ways. At the moment selling eBooks, later on (when I’ve moved cities and settled into a place to live) offering live calls (an idea that I got from being on one of your calls, Thanks!)

Thanks for the audio, I liked it a lot.

It is so common to think that you must have every exact detail pegged down before beginning your venture. In reality, starting out with a passion and purpose is like a mother duck getting her ducklings in a row…. you’ll notice that the little ones don’t all line up perfectly behind her before she starts walking… nope.

Mother duck starts walking or swimming and then the ducklings naturally fall into line. Put’s a new light on ‘getting your ducks in a row’ to do something.

Just get started and be prepared to adjust course as life presents opportunities

That’s how I was raised. If something’s not working one way, do it another, limited only by what’s morally right and what’s possible. (And what’s possible is unlimited.)

Our purpose (calling) is what wakes us up and energizes us to action. I think the confusion comes when we’re unclear about the vehicle for realizing that calling. We confuse the calling with the vehicle. And that’s where the brainstorming comes in. Some call it mind-mapping, or looping.

I LOVE what you wrote above: humanity needs your expressed uniqueness.

It’s like, if someone needs permission, you just gave it to them!

Thanks… think I’ll read more of what you offer here.

Tom,
Many thanks for this teleseminar and for your comments. I’m looking forward to brainstorming to see what comes up.
