9 Posts On Business My Way
I was thinking earlier this morning that I’ve written a fair amount about business and how I approach it. But I’ve never brought it altogether in one place…
So, here it is, especially for you….
I Believe That Business Is a Creative Act
Business to me was a strange mix of scary and boring. It seemed to me to be very risky, very onerous and very… uninspiring.
What I’ve discovered over the last 18 months is that this couldn’t be further from the truth…
I’ve discovered that business is the key to self-liberation.

I’ve discovered that business supports you as you serve others and send love out into the world.
I’ve discovered that business allows you to share your message with the world.
I’ve discovered that business can be a vehicle for your gifts.

Because Business Should Be Delicious
When I was in the end stage of my phd, I paid a visit to the university business enterprise centre. I had a meeting with a very nice man and explained to him that I had 3 degrees (BA, MLitt, Phd), over 9 years of education at undergraduate and postgraduate level, 3 years of university teaching experience, and presented papers at a number of international conferences, and I wanted to start a business that allowed me to make use of the knowledge I’d accumulated and the skills that I’d developed over the last decade. Something brilliant and completely unique. Something personal and mind-expanding and heart-opening. Something individual and brave and true.
He looked a bit baffled…. Read more.
What Do Goddesses Have To Do With Business Anyway?
You can think of it as the goddesses each providing a window on the world – a way of looking at things. And with each goddess comes a new perspective, a new angle. And so, in relation to your business, the goddesses help us to understand our businesses in a deeply profound way, helping us to create clarity around what it is that we want for ourselves, for our clients, how to best deliver our gifts into the world, and how we want to create delicious growth and sustainability on our own terms….

It’s A Circle. Not A Course
The Practical Magic Business Circle is not a course – it’s a gathering of women who are invested in doing business differently, in doing business their way. They are each going to receive their own personal medicine – that which they need in order to relate to their business in new yet intimately familiar ways, to feed it what both woman and business need to feel beautifully nourished, what they need to blossom in richly sustainable ways. And they will contribute to a group medicine – our collective contribution to inspire positive change at a transpersonal level… Read more.
Where Edgedancers Find Home
Edgedancers are those who feel compelled to lean into what might be possible. They’re discontent with doing things the way they’ve always been done. Oftentimes, they don’t actually intend to be rebellious or contrary – they just long to experience life in ways that feel more congruent to their desires, their values, their relationships, their dreams. They are the ones who are doing the things that others have said couldn’t be done. And they do so as part of their nature – like it didn’t really occur to them to do things any other way…. Read more.
Invitational Marketing or Why I Don’t hard Sell
It’s not in me to do a hard sell. I really don’t see the point in them. Our lives are full of things that contribute to feelings of tension and pressure. You don’t need me contributing to that. You really don’t. Pressing on pain points to manipulate you into clicking the Buy Now button? No, thank you. Really not my style.
Not only do I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to capitalise on another’s pain, but I don’t actually think a hard sell makes good business sense. Especially for offerings such as mine. And, I suspect, such as yours…. Read more.
Where the Virtual Meets the Sacred
When we build respect, honour, reverence, and love into our circles, whether they are held in the physical or in the digital, they hold a sacred resonance that is palpable. By bringing this piece online, however, I can make this sacred space available to all, regardless of geographic location. I create the opportunity for each to enter into the circle in a way that supports her to be fully present… Read more.
Why Launching While On Holiday Has Turned Out To Be A Grand Idea
It’s all very well to tend exquisitely to all those who engage with me and my business. But if I can’t do this for myself, then the whole endeavour becomes unsustainable…. Read more.
Wishes, Intentions, Prayers
There was a small stand for votive candles with a few already burning, sending wishes, intentions, prayers up into the soft stillness of the air all around. Choosing a candle for myself, I dropped a couple of euros into the collection box, and placed my candle beside the others. Holding the match in my hand, I closed my eyes and sent out my own wishes, intentions, prayers for the Practical Magic Business Circle…. Read more.
