More = More

More, be it physical or non-physical, always comes with more. 

When we desire something in our work, it's easy to focus purely on the good feelings we've attached to that thing arriving.

I desire more clients which will amplify the feeling of service.

I desire innovative ideas that will invoke the feeling of creativity.

I desire a team that will create the feeling of support.

Alternatively, if we've been conditioned to over-anticipate challenges, we concentrate on the potential difficulties. 

Think, your system has been trained to prefer both fictional and actual struggle.

I desire more clients, but I'm afraid I'll mess it up.

I desire innovative ideas, but my last launch didn't go well.

I desire a team, but I fear the financial responsibility.

More = more of everything.

Because of this truth and our instinctual awareness, we have come up with sly ways to avoid what comes with more.

More clients come with more profound service and fulfillment. More clients also ask for greater skillfulness and ability to process what's yours.

More innovative ideas come with feeling creatively inspired. More innovative ideas also means going through the excruciating process of bringing frequency into form. 

A team comes with more support. A team also comes with an ask to enter the sea of complex relational power dynamics.

On one extreme, we're encouraged to relentlessly pursue more, often at the expense of our personal eco-system. When we push through our capacity in the name of endless more, there is always a loss.

In this scenario, you’ve likely adopted a variety of defense mechanisms humming along as the norm for conducting business. You rationalize that the overwhelming demand is merely an aspect of the journey, rather than something to thoughtfully engage and transform.

Conversely, a hyper-awareness of the implications of 'more' can lead to paralysis.

You become trapped in a vortex of hypothetical outcomes where you attempt to plan, anticipate, and troubleshoot every conceivable challenge. In this state, your overwhelm turns to fearful inaction.

The fascinating thing about these extremes is they are both driven by overriding. 

The first overrides what comes, preventing you from engaging what is. The latter overrides what is, preventing what could come.

Nature mirrors the way.

There is no waiting beyond the point of wisdom.

There is no need to override because of intelligent capability and adaptability.

We, too, have this divine software installed in our bodies, nervous systems, and auras.

For some, it's a lot simpler than they realized; for others, it takes grappling with more complexity than their preference.

Here's my working hypothesis: your power wisely waits for you in the places you override.

Be it the parts of yourself awaiting you in the actions you won't take or the feedback that comes with over-doing it.

This has proven to be true throughout my entire business journey.

With more clients came the call for deeper integration around some of my most significant wounding.

With more ideas came the need to treat systems and structures as sacred.

With a team came the ask to become more skillful at separateness, communication, and leading.

I did my best to honor the wisdom of my capacity—taking each doable stretch, saying yes to Life with as much gusto as I could. And because of this foolish wisdom, I was 'ready' for all of it. Ready as in able to engage, not perfect.

Ready to be utterly humbled by the Mystery, celebrate the success, and chiseled by the difficulty. 

Each person's natural momentum will be different—as it is the byproduct of so much more than the number of likes or years in business.

The power revealed from honoring that momentum, is the unspoken key of everything that makes a successful company, in frequency and form. 

Presence and profits. 

Innovation and impact. 

Reverence and retention. 

Sustenance and staying power. 

This is a code of stewardship.

Your power waits for you in the places you override.

What is your business asking of you?

Where is your power hiding?

What parts of your character are ripe to be refined?

And when are you going to realize that you were made for this?
