Awesome article!

This post was a Godsend and it was right on time.

I’m in a transition period and I feel things shifting around me, so I have to make a lot of decisions. I have been getting annoyed with the work I used to love to do. I also have been dropping the ball lately in areas that I rarely did.

Now that I’ve read this article, I’m like…”Okay, God, I hear you. Where are you taking me now”.

At least I know that it is for my good.

What a perceptive post! I have experienced all of these symptoms, often simultaneously. Thank you for helping others to organize their thoughts and realize it’s not just them, and yet it is just them. Perhaps this post will enable the readers to make the necessary life changes that will bring peace to their lives.

Excellent, excellent article!! It really made me thing about some of the annoyances I’ve been having in my business … some of the things MANY of my peers and clients have been telling me I should do for a good while, and how I really need to start listening and paying attention to what I’m hearing and feeling. This specific article came a very aprapos time in my business – thanks so much!

I also love that you’re doing it as a podcast too. It’s much easier for me to listen to a 6 minute clip than sit and read it.

You always write with the earthy candor I know you for, Tina!

I relate to many of the points here. Too often people tell themselves, “Well, it’s just work so I should get over it/forget about it/stop fuming/etc/etc.”

WRONG!

Don’t “get over it.” Understand WHY you suddenly might need to start moving through it – and then past it – to the next “thing” you’re being called to do.

It’s like the illusion of winning the lottery. “If only … ” Sitting still looks so good from this side of the fence until we actually get to sit still and then it feels kind of … stale. Like a J-O-B.

Of course, the caveat here is that we shouldn’t confuse “sitting still” with the need to still one’s mind long enough to really listen to a calling. Then of course we must get off our butt and answer it!

Cheers,
Karri

Oh, Tina, you are soooo right!

I had been a financial coach for almost 8 years and the business just wasn’t growing and I couldn’t make myself do the things that I thought I SHOULD be doing to make it grow.

My business coach, Kathy Brandon of The Dream Team, started telling me that I was really good at providing service to others around technology (prior to financial coaching, I’d done technology training for over 20 years) and we started to explore how I might get back in to that. We hadn’t hit on the answer, though…

Then I was listening to Carrie Wilkerson’s Pink Slip Webinars and she encouraged us to ask “How Can you Serve More People?” and I thought it was a great question to keep asking myself. I must have asked it a hundred times overnight.

The very next day, my copy of Becoming an Online Business Manager arrived in the mail and it only took a couple of pages for me to realize that I’d been doing OBM work all of my working life!

So, that was pretty much the end of financial coaching and I started doing OBM work. I am having such a blast!

I’m so grateful to have Kathy and Carrie and you show up in my life when I needed you! Thank you!
