“The shamanic approach says, ‘Try X and see what happens for yourself. If you decide it’s useful, then great. If not, f-ck it, try Y.'” Shortcuts vs. building true strength, gripping logic vs. the heart as your CEO. How your shadow plays into your career, how your spirit guides your bottom line, and how powerful you become when you get clear on what/who/why you’re REALLY serving. I read every page.

This magic question: What are you working on and how can I help?
And why you should never give feedback.
Solid gold from Strengths Finder master, Marcus Buckingham:
Hey, Fire Starter People! is simple and lite, intended to help you shine at doing good work. You’ll get two brief emails a month. One is philosophical perspective for getting clear and staying determined. And the other monthly missive features a product, service, or how-to (from the people we turn to), and things we use to run our business — our first-hand experience.
Try it out HERE. And meet other Fire Starter People in The Fire Starter Sessions Facebook Group. There’s good work to be done. The world needs more people shining, and if we can do that more efficiently, all the better!
All Love,
