"coming out" of the {business} closet

I've been not so subtly hinting at the fact that there's change coming over here.  Well, today is the big reveal! I'm coming out of the closet!  The business closet that is!

The Bedroom Joyologist will always be a part of who I am, but it is time for change!  Good-bye for now sex and intimacy coaching and hello business strategy!

(What that means is I now help entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs-to-be who are burnt out doing unfulfilling work, overwhelmed and unclear, create a new business plan that lights them up, know what ideas to focus on first and what actions to take and when + stand out like a hot red dress in a sea of beige suits so they effortlessly attract clients they love!)

I admit it may seem like a pretty dramatic change... but really it's not.

Here's why it's not really all that dramatic.

Sex and relationships have a lot in common with purpose and business.  And, sexual energy is also known as creative energy.  The two go hand in hand.

I've been preaching about the connection between sex, confidence, creativity, expression, purpose, self-worth and pleasure from the get go.  My passion and belief in the connection between these has not changed.

What WILL be changing is that going forward I will be connecting that information with business - specifically for women who are burnt out and tired of doing unfulfilling work (and who want to make more money doing work that feels like a total pleasure).

Why?

Because I believe business and pleasure should mix.  So your work can feel like play everyday.  And hey, when you aren't stressed and exhausted from your workday and money situation you can have the energy you need to have good sex ;)

Ever deeper than that...

I believe there are people out there, like me, who know in their heart their business needs to be a full expression of who they are.  No parts suppressed or hidden.

No more living your life in separate little compartments.

Time to share all of yourself with us! Whether in business or in the bedroom.

So, there you have it.  This space is now dedicated to entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs at heart who resonate with the concept of mixing business with pleasure and want to design a business plan that's better than sex (well...at least as good as!)!

Will there still be info about sex, communication, relationships and sensuality?   Absolutely!!  Now, I will just be relating those topics to business instead of just the bedroom.

Why the switch?

Well, the short version is that about 6 months ago pretty much all of my clients were asking for business advice or help around finding their purpose.   Having lived and breathed business for the last 7+ years it was so much fun for me to share that help.  Since realizing that's what people were wanting from me AND that it comes super naturally for me (+ it's super fun, if you talk to any of my friends or my husband, you'll hear it's all I really talk about...).

With no effort at all (literally just had people asking to work with me) and not even announcing it or changing my website my programs filled with the most wonderful clients.  Looking at it now from an outside perspective it makes sense, after all I did create a business that allowed me to have the freedom and lifestyle I desired.

*although it took a little longer than I anticipated I went from making the same amount working 12 hours as I did working 200+ hours in less than 2 years and have worked with women from over 10 countries with a site that went from 1,000 unique visitors a month to 20,000) and I believe I can help you do the same...probably faster by learning through my mistakes and using my connections.

Too easy!

I figured it was a sign.  Now here I am telling the world.

Every once in awhile I get a tiny little thought saying "don't let go of what you've worked so hard to build up."  I know in my heart that this is the right next step for me.  I am thankful that after all these years of self-growth that I totally trust my intuition and myself and can take action despite those thoughts.

My message to you is this:

Their are people that are hungry for YOU, all of you, especially the unique quirks and mix of gifts you have.  You don't have to hide aspects of yourself in order to be successful.  Actually by NOT hiding you will find life and business becomes much more joyful (and others benefit so much more from you being you!).  I am living proof that you can have a thriving and credible business (even a business consulting practice!) while talking about g-spots!  If I can do that, I bet you can thrive with your unique mix of gifts.

When you share all of your gifts through your work and in your daily interactions you are inspiring others to do the same.  I know when I first experienced that it felt like sweet, sweet relief!

You can design a business and a business plan (and a life for that matter) exactly how YOU want.  When you start listening to your soul instead of paying so much attention to what everyone else is thinking or doing things change. 

Regardless of whether or not you have or want to have a business look ask yourself if there is anywhere in your life where you may be suppressing aspects of yourself?  Then ask yourself "what would be a feel good way to express more of that side of myself?"  Then go do it!
