A Personal Note from Susan

 

  
           

I was inspired to write on the topic "To Hire or Not to Hire" upon returning from my two-week family vacation, where I unplugged for the entire trip.  Although I could spend this entire newsletter writing about how wonderful our time was, I'll just share these few images and let you see for yourself.

 

I've owned and operated my advertising agency, Lighthouse Marketing, since 2001, and over the past 14 years, I've had up to four team members, full-time, working in my home office.  During that phase, my business grew to just under one million in gross revenue...exciting times to say the least!  I so 

enjoyed having a team of incredibly talented 

and capable individuals to bounce ideas past, share responsibilities with, and to cover for me while I traveled (they even helped care for our pets while we were away).

 

Now, although I have some amazing strategic partners, including a virtual assistant (shout out to Laura Abert, President of Chair2Marketing www.chair2marketing.com) who was instrumental in the successful launch of my new business, Tap Into Your Center, I no longer have employees.  I actually enjoy the peace of working in solitude, the reduced pressure of covering payroll, and the speed at which I can change my mind and move my business in new directions.  The downside, I had two weeks' worth of mail to sort, bookkeeping to catch up on, and tons of client responsibilities to attend to - not to mention we had to bring our cat Tootsie with us on vacation. :)

 

So, what's my point, which do I recommend?   

To Hire or Not to Hire.  That is the Question!

 

I will share that with most business decisions, there are pros and cons to either side.  My professional opinion is that if your business is growing steadily, and you have a strong desire to grow from a multi-six figure to a half million or more in revenue, you most likely will benefit from having a full-time team.  


It all begins with that first hire, even part-time if you are nervous about covering payroll, or being responsible for another human being.  What I have found to be true, for myself and many other business owners, is that once you make the commitment to hire, and adjust your expenses accordingly, the business and revenue show up.  Not sure why or how this works but it has to do with setting the intention and taking the leap

 

If you'd like to reach out and schedule a virtual cup of coffee to bounce this idea around, I'm happy to be your sounding board!

 

 Much love,

What Does it Mean to Live a Conscious Life?

  

I am so excited to be sharing with you the concepts presented in Quantum Leaps - 7 Skills for Workplace ReCreation by Charlotte Shelton.  


Over the next several months, I intend to share with you in more detail, The Seven Quantum Skills that will enable you to see the world in a new way
This month we explore the Quantum Skill of Quantum Acting: The ability to act responsibly!


 

Quantum Acting is the ability to act with concern for the whole - the whole self, the whole society, the whole planet.  Using Quantum Acting means that we choose to make responsible choices by contemplating the consequences of our actions.  Living a conscious life means that we live with conscious awareness of our values and a clear intention to act in ways that are congruent with them.  This, of course, takes energy and commitment.


Each conscious choice that we make not only influences the probability of our future choices; it also, because of our quantum interconnectedness, affects everyone else's future choices as well.  So, we design our lives and our workplaces one choice at a time.  If we take the time daily to do whatever we need to do to be in resonance with this complex whole, we can then at any time access deep intuition, and, subsequently, live lives of spontaneity and responsibility.


Prayer and meditation are proven processes for bringing us into resonance with the quantum field.  They are not substitutes for action, but they enable us to align our actions with the greater good.


I'll share with you in my Resource Section, the prayer that I say each and every day, to be sure that my actions, and interactions with others, are in alignment with my values and ultimately the will of God. This is a practice that I began over two years ago, and saying this prayer daily has provided me with such inner peace, calm and even a sense of KNOWING that each day is being guided by Source.


Stay tuned for the August issue of my Co-Creator's Corner, where I will expand on the sixth Quantum Skill - Quantum Trusting - The ability to trust life.

 


Resource Center

 

Here is where I will spotlight something that I think is pretty special.  It may be a recent book that I've read, a product that I have used, or perhaps a program that I believe is worth checking out.

 

As I mentioned above, here is a prayer that is from Marianne Williamson's book The Law of Divine Compensation. I highly recommend reading her book and considering if this prayer may be just what you needed today. :)
 

 

Dear God,


 
I surrender to You who I am,

what I have, and what I do,

 

May my life and talents be used

in whatever way serves You best.

 

I surrender to You my failures

and any pain still in my heart.

 

I surrender to You my successes

and the hopes that they contain.

 

May the Light of Your Love

shine deep within my heart

and extend through me

to bless the world.

 

Amen.

A Thought to Ponder
