Marketing Blah Blah

For several months, I had been telling myself this story: I don't know anything about business, or marketing or sales, I must not know what I'm doing. For a while, I researched.  I love to learn about new things, so for a while I'm quite happy learning about marketing, open ended questions, magic words, rate structuring, et cetera, et cetera.

But now it just feel formulaic to me, and I've never been a fan of formulas.  I prefer to do my own thing, my own way. Why must I worry about the branding of "My Own Thing?"  Or worry about if the words I use are ones that my clients read? I'm not even that concerned about making money, just so long as it comes. I have no quota, or agenda. (No, I suppose that's not true. I want to stir up change and new ways of doing things. Revolution is my agenda.)

I would really just like to do the good work where it's needed, and be supported in abundance in return. I want to support the truth that there is a tradition of this work being healing and supportive of all people and relationships involved. When it's done with the wrong intentions, wrong motivations, wrong energy, of course you'll get bad results.  And for so long we have been told that there can be no right motivations when it comes to sex and especially whoring.

Well, I am here questioning these assumptions. I know I am rooting my motivations in the spiritual, and that is what allows me to be open. I don't need to lead you in a mantra or even sit yabyum to help you experience this. When we meet and we feel the instant connection, the eagerness to explore this new lover guides us on our journey towards what is possible. Just what heights and depths can be reached? That is the work. Each time, more is possible.

This past year, I have learned some of the things possible. I'm looking forward to going deeper with each dive, each year.
