Sign-O-The-Times Q&A
Charlon Bobo   The Business Impact of The State of Our Economy

"Things with me have slowed down a bit. The economy has me worried and I've seen it affect my biz."

Charlon
"I hear this sentiment often.

In actuality, the more we "buy in" to the hype about the status of the economy, the worse it gets. We feed this "reality" with our powerful, but fear-based thoughts, and actually perpetuate it.

We must stop.
And instead think,
speak and act
in alignment
with what we'd rather experience


I'm not in any way saying it's easy, but just keep on, keeping on. Do what you've always done which is to take some action every day and use your intuition to guide you to try new things.

The old paradigm is falling away. Old approaches will no longer work. As entrepreneurs, we must innovate and lead the way to the new way of doing business and living peaceful lives. You are a model and others are watching! As scary as it might feel at times, continue to be bold and fearless, and push ahead.

Remember:

1. Everything will be okay.
2. You are not alone.

Let me know if you want to talk, process or be supported. I'm committed to serve in the role of muse, facilitator and waymaker. It's the role I was destined to fulfill. I've never been more clear of the blessing and responsibility involved in honoring this sacred task. How may I serve you?"

Conscious Entrepreneurship
Charlon Bobo   Create a Vacuum For Perfect Living

Vacuum
To begin, let me define two phrases so we have a common understanding:

1. Create a vacuum - Consciously creating room for a continually better fit of life circumstances, e.g. personal relationships, jobs, clients, living space, attainment of goals, etc.

2. Perfect living - A life lived in -- and guided by -- divine influence resulting in a peaceful, aligned experience, wherein the word perfect is defined solely by the individual


Natural change happens as a result of living in the physical universe. Think of the seasons and how every day, we are further from one season and closer to the next. Seasons simply change because that's the nature of the physical universe.

Participatory change happens only when there's a "vacuum" or space for something else -- something better -- to flow in.


All of us have experienced the impact of natural change. It seems out of our control and can make us feel that we live at the whim of some one or some thing outside of our influence... an external force. While it's true there are elements we don't individually control, e.g. forces of nature, other people, their choices, etc., that doesn't have to leave us feeling that our lives aren't our own.

That's where the fun of participatory change comes in.

You can consciously choose to experience change that is facilitated by your active participation.

Participatory change comes when we've made preparation and space for something new to come in, even if we don't know exactly what it is. It's okay, and enough, to simply start with knowing something is no longer a good fit. Then get busy. Take some action every day to clear out the old and make room.

Think of the preparations you make for guests. You busily clean, grocery shop, plan meals, decorate, wash linen, and otherwise plan for hosting your guest(s). You actively create space for them. You intend for them to make themselves "at home" and you want them to be comfortable when they visit.

It is no different with welcoming change.

When something --
anything -- is anticipated
with thoughtful preparation,
the results will surely
delight and astound you


Can we influence the way we experience change even when it's natural change?

Sure! Just decide that no external life circumstance has the power to dictate your level of fulfillment and joy in life. Do you choose to be the victim of your experience or the master of it? You truly have the ability to decide. It's completely up to you. You can resist, resent, and struggle your way through natural change. It will happen, regardless.

If, however, you want to experience change on purpose, increase the awareness of your innate ability to impact the everyday outcome and take some action to create a vacuum with room for newness to come in. It will. This grand universe is full of surprises. Expect the unexpected!

From the Editor's Desk
Charlon Bobo   CharlonHead


Fall is my spring. I come alive in October. It's like a light switch turns on. I am most creative and inspired during this time of year, which is great for planning the upcoming year.

2009 is going to be big. I just know it. And not just for me. I feel a surge of what is to unfold collectively over the next year and it's so exciting!

We're in this together, guys. Let's help each other dream and achieve bigger than ever before. If you have been too busy to even begin thinking about 2009, now's the time.

I know there's a ton to do, but don't let this be just another chore to complete. Set aside time specifically to dream, write, draw, and create 2009 in the image of what YOU want. Manifesting always begins as a thought.

May your words, thoughts and actions bring about an abundant upcoming year in the way YOU define the word, dear one.

In Sisterhood, Light & Love,
