Want To Take A Creative Leap With Me?

 Lets play with our phone camera and street photography?  Bindu - Photo Essay Project

Sound intriguing?

I'll share something I've learned personally about taking leaps in your business.  If you really want a big shift...you can't keep doing the same thing over and over again.  It's not about "do more" harder and faster.

The truth us you have to change it up. Do something different. Be willing to rock your refined schedule, ditch the urgent emergency only actions. Youve got to Take time for you...to grow personally.

Because when YOU leap....your business leaps.(and so does your personal life but I know you probably have to justify this personal creative growth I'm calling you to by making it all about your biz!)

When you open up your creativity within yourself it gets translated in all sorts of ways into your business...more confidence, practicing that muscle of being courageous, creating from the heart, opening up your vulnerability in new exciting ways which are scary and yet make you more accessible and relatable to your clients, readers and fans.

That's why I'm starting off this year with more emphasis on my own creative growth rather than just focusing on business how-tos. (Those are important, but we're talking about how to grow by leaps and bounds).

I want to share a cool creative program I'm going to be a part of. It's called the Photo Essay Project. It's led by Bindu Wiles who is helping me open up my deeper creative reserves in many ways. In this program we are going to take photos with our iPhones and droid mobiles of people around us. Reminescent of street photography we used to see in LIFE magazine.  It's part about the creative process but what I'm learning about Bindu it's really about finding mirrors of ourselves within others. 

I'll share that for me it sounds like fun and yet I'm scared. Its vulnerable to bring your creative mess, er, process to a group...and yet I know it's a valuable part of being able to break down my own barriers for a deeper sense of connection...with others, myself and the creative spirit.

What I know is that my growth will show up for you too. It'll help me access a deeper wisdom and creative wellspring to be more of service in my life and through my business.

Want to join me for a creative escapade in street photography? I'd love to share about our creative journey..you can check out Bindu's program and let's see where our courageous leaps take us!

En-Joy!
