Wealth Dynamics

Playing

Here is a copy of the flyer for my forthcoming Adult Play Day.

I'd be delighted to come and deliver one at a town near you.

 

Which Direction?

 

For many years I was a Play Therapist, working with children and families.

Many of the children had experienced abuse of some form and often it was very severe.

People would comment that I must be some sort of angel to work with people in so much pain, but that was not the way I experienced it. For me, to be alongside someone as they went through that journey was utterly inspiring.

To be with someone so courageous who had been so hurt who could still trust me and move towards healing was the greatest gift I could be given; and the joy we both felt at each breakthrough was absolutely amazing.

I stopped because the organisation I worked for ceased to be able to attract funding. In spite of the changes clients experience and their increased quality of life, this is difficult to quantify. The work is slow and painstaking and in the age of quick fixes, it is not the most popular choice for funders with increasing demand for their resources.

In many ways I agree; therapy is unneccesary for the vast majority of people, coaching is far more appropriate; and years spent looking back at pain (which is what therapy is perceived to be) is never going to be the most effective way forward for any other than a few people.

It was not the work, but living with the uncertainty about my job security that  pushed me into working for myself and a change of direction.

I figured that I would have the same amount of responsibilty but could control my own life far more effectively than handing that to other people.

It didn't turn out quite like that though.

I found working alone horribly isolating and hated marketing my services. The things I was required to do went completely against everything I had known working in large and small charities.

I had absorbed the ethos that to promote oneself is in some way selling out to the devil. Never mind all those limiting beliefs about what I was worth (charities don't pay well in spite of the massive expertise they hold).

There were so many new things that I had to do, many of which were totally outside my comfort zone. Now I am all for extending our boundaries but there comes a point when we have to admit that it would be better for someone else to do this or that job. After many years honing my expertise like a precious jewel, this one was hard for me to swallow.

I felt at the same time that some of these tasks were beneath me, since they "should" be easy and that therefore I had no talent, since I couldn't do them.

Struggling with my computer and the ways of thinking I was required to use drove me demented and anyway I was bored by these jobs too and that demotivated me; so I went round and round in circles castigating myself for my ineffectiveness. Which just meant I did less "real work".

Never mind, I wasn't having any fun, what with the guilt and the ever sinking self esteem.

Somehow and mostly thanks to my partner, i managed to pull myself out of this mire and to begin again to recognise my beautiful gifts.

I have many talents which people do recognise (if I just let them see) and they are willing to pay handsomely for them.

I have been able to attract someone who is acting as an agent for my business coaching work using Wealth Dynamics and someone else who is helping me to produce products explaining Wealth Dynamics.

At the same time I am returning to my old skills and creating Play Days for adults, not as therapy, as fun and they are creating lots of attraction.

It's been quite a journey and one in which I have had to really confront myself.

Having been the expert for so many years had meant I was never questioned, never needed to examine what I was doing or why.

Answering these questions is good for us all, even if it means we face a few demons along the way.

And although I don't believe that navel gazing in itself is useful, if we apply the insights it gives us and don't just use it as an opportunity to wallow in our situation, it can move us forward brilliantly.

So, thanks to quite a bit of looking inward I became able to look out again; to create a plan and to carry it through and now I have a thriving and varied paractice and people around to support me.

What more could anyone ask?

Abundance through Authenticity

I've been asking a lot of questions lately, and if you have been reading this newsletter you will have noticed.

 

I believe I am not alone, in fact I have seen this change coming on the internet.

There is a movement of people calling themselves Innerpreneurs and I think I am one.

 

Innerpreneurs focus on work which creates personal fulfillment and social change; among officionados of Wealth Dynamics, this is often referred to as being in flow. 

Operating in flow brings us into alignment with our greatest goals, which almost invariably take us outside of ourselves. Because we are fully integrated we attract others whose goals are similar to ours, either as team mates or as clients and customers.

 

When we are truly ourselves, it shows and we shine with passion, joy and committment.

 

This is quite different to being in a niche, which is usually (but not always) created to make marketing simpler and to attract Google's SEO spiders!

 

You may recognise yourself as an Innerpreneur. And if so I would love to work alongside you on your journey to greater fulfullment.

 

Some of our clients are growing their businesses and some are simplifying, their businesses come in all forms and sizes, some want a relationship with someone else that fully empowers and recognises their essence and some are in the process of developing that relationship with themselves.

 

All of them want to create more alignment in their lives and recognise that our journeys are never over but will continue for ever, bringing wisdom in their wake.

 

Our work gives us tremendous satisfaction and also freedom and financial security and a sense of greater connection.

This, we believe is what inspires an innerpreneur.

If this resonates already and you want more balance and joy in your life by creating alignment throughout your life

contact us. 

If you're unsure whether this is you, hang around for the new blog and website examining ways of achieving a life of greater authenticity, abundance and harmony. 

 

Wealth V Joy

      V   

Do we have to choose between joy and wealth?

For a long time, I felt that to have a great quality of life, I had to only do a very specific type of work and that meant a choice not to make much money.

Then, I decided to make more money and found myself sacrificing doing what I love.

It wasn't supposed to work like that. Setting up my own business was supposed to allow me to do more of what I love, but I got so bogged down with admin and marketing I did less of the work I love than in any job.
 
Is this the cleft stick you find yourself in?
 
Firstly then, let's ask "What is wealth?"
Is it money to you or is it something more?
 
For me, doing what I love represents being wealthy, since that carries with it the fact that I am free to make choices about how I run my life.

It requires a certain amount of financial security, but it isn't just about money, it is about the freedom that having enough money brings.

It's not just that either though. There are plenty of people with plenty of money who have very little joy in their lives.

These are who I used to see when I thought of what I would have to do to myself to make lots of money.

I thought about it so much I made it happen and then in reaction to that I stopped making any money at all for a while. This didn't help!

These days I am more balanced about it.

Which is what I feel in my bones to be real wealth for me.

 

There's a continuum, at one end is an impoverished artist, who just manages to survive, perhaps receiving their necessities in exchange for their work. Happy as Larry creating with no material possessions (perhaps with a family who adore them but all dressed in tatters) and at the other end is a dissatisfied industrialist who is miserable, with no family life and hated by their employees. Probably their factories belch out pollution and they are hated by everyone around them. But they have every material thing they want.

 

In between are all manner of lifestyles.

 

So what do you love to do, to have?

For some it might mean being a parent and spending time with your children, for some it might be doing business, for some dancing or painting, maybe connecting people, maybe seeing a job well done.

There are so many variations

 

Some of these options will mean you prefer to have a traditional job and others that you don't.

It's up to you.

What do you need to do to gain the power in your life to make these choices?
