Lis, this is gold. You are gold. Looking forward to more of the precious metal soon.
With no business or sales background, plus being an introvert by nature, it took me a long time to feel comfortable stating my fee and asking for the sale, especially once the amounts started getting upwards of $5,000. But gee it feels good when they say yes!
Love the point about seeking validation vs selling.
Possible the best example of the use of meaningless jargon and pseudo-psychology pretending to be “advice” that I have seen for many years. It was brought to my attention by one of my PhD students who is studying the use of media to exploit the lack of knowledge of vulnerable people. I haven’t time to waste looking at any of the associated material.
There are few platforms where talented individuals can develop or share their great ideas. Original thinking rarely comes from collectives. And, although inspired thinking often happens in isolation, it rarely happens in a vacuum. An idea needs an audience, like fire needs air.
The need for books to be written then read, speeches to be crafted and heard or advice to be delivered masterfully is greater than it's ever been in history. Some would say the world urgently needs new levels of thinking... right now.
We exist to foster the ideas and facilitate the conversations that elevate consciousness on the planet, shift paradigms and advance humanity.
