Hi Nathanael! So glad this resonated with you. Offerings feel much more heart-centered and real to me than pitches or promotions because they put the focus on the giving end, vs getting. tho receiving is also a powerful state of mind...I'll be writing about that next. Thanks so much for pre-ordering and sharing work in process. Also I wanted to let you know that I am finally offering a co-ed Flow Camp for writing/running/movement/meditation...in Marfa and Big Bend in the later fall. I know you asked about co-ed retreats a while ago, and have been wanting to offer one! Dates are TBA. I will keep you in the loop and also will post in newsletter when details are finalized!
thank you so much for reading and commenting, Dana! I think it's such a helpful mindshift that can change our outlook on everything....whether or not something is received is no longer relevant, it's how we offer it. We can only control that end of things...It's very freeing. And sometimes hard to practice! Good luck with your professional evolution! And thanks for pre-ordering BFPW!
Dear Katie, a wonderful post on many levels! Like Dana I just started on a marketing plan for a new project, and the idea of seeing what we are marketing as an offering, a gift to people who will benefit from it, is a marvelous perspective. I appreciate your observation that word of mouth/ 1:1 sharing is key to success, so I have forwarded “Work in Progress” to my friend and business partner so he can subscribe. I pre-ordered three copies of the book so that I can give away two of them. Thank you so much for writing this newsletter and this post!
Thank you for this well-timed and perfect offering, Katie. The "marketing plan" file on my shiny new laptop was quite sparse as I prepare for my own professional transition this summer. Your message deeply resonates -- I've highlighted the sentences that will go in my growing "personal values and approach" file. And I just pre-ordered your book -- I can't wait to read it!
