What Are You About, Dear One

Josh, a new reader, asked me such a challenging question I thought I’d pass it on to you.

Here’s his question, “In one great sentence tell me what you believe you are about?”

The form of the question raises other issues about believing, so for this exercise I abbreviated the question to:

In one great sentence, what are you about?

One of the questions I ask my patients is -- who is the you that you refer to. If you don’t think there are multiple versions of you, then you have not been paying attention.

So, who is the YOU in the question – what are YOU about. Give an answer for each of your voices.

Here are my responses from the different voices.

My first two responses – as a therapist/mentor.

· I am about helping people to live a life they wholeheartedly love.

· I am about helping people to love their journey through life.

Version three – my core?

· I am about living in Presence and Love and acting on what arises there.

Version four and five – from one of my wounded children

· I am about being right. Or more exactly, I am about not being wrong.

· I am about getting Mom and/or Dad’s approval, and your approval as a substitute.

Version six – as a healthy child

· I am about play. Playing with you. Playing outdoors. Playing alone.

Versions multiple non-verbal responses –

· I opine that all art is a self-portrait. You can look at my sacred landscapes and consider them as self-portraits. What can you tell from these?

Your Turn -- Try the Exercise

In one great sentence, fill in the blank –

I am about ________________.

Listen to your internal voices then fill in the blank for each of them.

What have you learned? What is revealed? Was this hard to do?

Live long and prosper,

William

You’ll Love This Brain Storm

Before I tell you what my brainstorm is and how you can save money, get my focused attention, solid information, and heart filling inspiration to help you live a life you wholeheartedly love, I’ll give you a story.

I was thinking about -- The Are-You-Kidding-Me Great Option – For One Dollar More… Option Two I am giving you for THE WHOLESOME ENTREPRENEUR Launch.

You get One Dozen Life-Giving Secrets on How the Wise Entrepreneur Sustains and Nourishes Body & Soul While Caring for a Business. And for $1 Dollar more you get a membership that gives all my Laser Focused Reports and Life Giving Manuals as a member.

A value of at least $121 for a buck. Now that’s Cool. Right?

But I thought, “Hey! Why not just let people sign up for a membership at $9.97 as Option Two? They’d get all my manuals and reports – that I normally sell for $121-- for becoming a member.”

“Are you nuts, William?! You can’t give away the store,” my business voice said.

“Sure, I can. It’s my store,” my generous self said. “Obviously, I want people to get my focused attention, the best information, and heart filling inspiration I can give them so they can live a life they wholeheartedly love.”

So there you have it. My generous self won. Clearly, you win, too.


You get to choose –

Option One -- Get the INCREDIBLE Wholesome Entrepreneur - One Dozen Life-Giving Secrets on How the Wise Entrepreneur Sustains and Nourishes Body & Soul While Caring for a Business at $27. Without the membership.

Option Two -- The Are-You-Kidding-Me Great Option – Become a member of Body & Soul Mentor for $9.97. (Automatically, renews every 30 days at $9.97.)

You get my focused attention, information, and inspiration to help you live a life you wholeheartedly love for $9.97/mo. Obviously, I priced this so it would be easy for you to continue being a member.

Be sure you read all the details before you decide which option works best for you

Announcing the Launch of The Wholesome Entrepreneur

When I was putting my affairs in order for my surgery last winter (when doing major surgery there is always a chance, however small, of not making it), I updated my wills and I wrote like mad to finish The Wholesome Entrepreneur. I wanted to leave it as a legacy for my daughters, both entrepreneurs, and to the massage profession. I finished it before I went under general anesthetic.

Obviously, as we all expected, I survived. And I have this Life Giving Manual for you now.

I launch The Wholesome Entrepreneur, on October 2nd at 6:00 AM PDT.

The subtitle describes the book well –

One Dozen Life-Giving Secrets on How the Wise Entrepreneur Sustains and Nourishes Body & Soul While Caring for a Business

I’ve learned the hard way, curled up on the floor in a fetal position that the self-employed don’t take care of themselves very well. They need help. This manual shows them easy steps and some more challenging ones that can save their lives.

Crash and burn is not pretty. Despair sucks. You and I want people who can thrive over decades of entrepreneurship. You want them to be able to sustain this life of freedom. Right?

I have helped many people to stay sane and thrive over my thirty plus years as a therapist and mentor. It’s mythic, even when people are making good money, they still need help staying whole.

HERE’S WHAT JOHN GALLAGHER SAYS –

“GREAT! It's like you wrote it for me! :)

"I never would have become an entrepreneur without the tools I learned from William years ago. It blows my mind that ANYONE can learn these life saving tips in a manual.

“For those of you who WANT to be entrepreneurs, you will learn how to remove the blocks from preventing you from realizing your dreams. Hint: There is one secret in this book that says “Just get to work!”

“William’s techniques take the whole human into account and really work.

“For those who ARE entrepreneurs, you will learn what you need to do to keep yourself sane, healthy and happy. There is no way your business will ever be sustainable without following Williams 12 Secrets.

“If you want to start your own business or already own one, you’d be insane not to read The Wholesome Entrepreneur."
