I got a little (or big) secret to share with you…

People who you think are doing so well may be barely squeaking by (or even on the verge of a complete business collapse).
They may look like they have it all. Their social media presence is great, they have a fabulous looking website or blog, they spend all this time talking in their newsletter about all the wonderful things they’re doing.
But, when you look past the façade, what you’ll see is a business built on smoke and mirrors. There’s nothing solid or real about it. It’s what she calls an “imaginary” business.
(Perhaps you have one of these too. More on that in a moment.)
The worst part about this is no one is talking about it. No one. In fact, it’s become the last of the taboo subjects.
And if that wasn’t enough, this taboo subject has the potential of crippling your business and your life too. (Yes, this has the potential of spilling into your personal and family life, and destroying it as well.)
But, this is all about to change. You see, Alexis (and I in the background) are on a mission to pull back the curtain and shine the light on these dark, hidden corners of entrepreneurship. In fact she is SO committed to this mission she has put together an entire manifesto about it.
And please, do your friends, associates, clients and more a favor and tell them about it and have them go download their own copy. This is life-changing information. And my mission is to share it with every single entrepreneur out there so you too know what it really takes to create your meaningful AND profitable business.
What Does It Mean to Be A Conscious Entrepreneur?

My friends,
over the last two weeks I had over 20 conversations with people about consciousness. I asked every single one of them what it meant to them to be a conscious entrepreneur.
The answers were so varied that I felt shocked. I realized that consciousness is such a broad term, open to interpretations and world views.
Here are some definitions I got:
- I am aware of my inner gifts and I want to bring them out to the fullest
- I feel guided by God and don’t have the need to be in total control at all times anymore
- I work more in harmony with the world, aware of the consequences of my actions
- I work from my soul first, then align my actions with my soul’s desire
Now, this is what I consider a conscious entrepreneur:
Somebody who is committed to aligning their every action with their end goal of contributing to the world.
All of the above show a desire for all of us to combine logic with heart, spirit with commerce, feminine energies with masculine, profit with contribution, basically we are moving towards integration.
Now to you. I’ll set up a little incentive for you to participate:
Anybody who contributes an insightful comment to this discussion, gets a whole 30 minutes with me, 1:1 coaching on subjects of mindset, branding, leveraged business models or marketing.
Also, the winner (as determined by Lydia) will be featured on our blog, Facebook and Twitter and this community in the beginning of May.
Deal?
So, go for it, let’s get a discussion going, shall we?
What does it mean for you to be a conscious entrepreneur?
