What are you doing in your business to Show Up ,Be You and share what you truly came here to?
Are you one of those heart-centered soulpreneurs like me, who feel like you came here on a mission to share what you’ve got to share with a wide audience but somehow are still hiding, like me last year?
Who know they have a big purpose in being here now but instead of shouting it from the virtual rooftops, you’re hanging around on the edges just barely visible?
That was me for the last five years or so.
Or maybe you’re standing out there courageously in plain sight with your special gifts and talents, like I was doing last year only to find that many of the folks around you don’t really “get you,” don’t see how what you have could serve, transform, delight or inspire them?
And here we are still bursting at the seams, frustrated having so much to offer and so few to serve.
I know I haven’t been found by a crowd of people who are actively searching for what I have to share.
I’ve been too insecure, not ready, not trained enough, too busy feeling like I didn’t know enough, offer enough, my stuff wasn’t professional-looking enough, and on and on.
Long story short, I was nervous and getting in my own way. I wasn’t taking the actions I needed to be seen and known.
That was then, this is now.
Here’s what I just did:
I joined the “Divinely Connected Business Giveaway”.
I have actually joined before I want to be part of something that says Divine and Business in the same sentence I didn’t ever submit anything to be given away though. Why? See list of reasons above.
This time it’s different. How do I know?
I’m actually giving something away . I’ve already written the description and submitted my first gift. There will be two more this week and I’m excited!
When approached step by step and setting aside the belief that it was too complicated, I managed to figure out the first one in a few hours. The next 2 gifts will be set up even quicker.
I know a number of the other contributors and one of the owner/promoters and I feel confident in saying there is a lot good energy, high vibes, integrity and potential here.
What do you think? Do you want to join me on this journey as lightworkers, soulpreneurs stepping out into well,the light?

When am I gonna start calling out to the world about my calling?
This post is both a story in my own evolution as a heart-centered business owner and
an invitation to join me in this joint venture.
What’s a giveaway? It’s an online event where healers, teachers, leaders, authors and more pool together to reach a much greater audience that any could or would on their own.
Everyone is contributing a free downloadable gift – an ebook or audio or a free call or past webinar and way more. Rest assured, nobody is selling or sharing their mailing list. Everybody is announcing and promoting the giveaway to their own audience.
So my peeps, plus your peeps, plus some folks who have thousands of peeps are all putting the word out to people who would very likely be interested, eager even to get to know what you do and how you serve.
So that’s on the biz building side.
It is free to participate.
Each business gets a distinct link (like mine below) with the potential to earn commissions in a variety of ways.

One the other side as a visitor:
you get free access to a phenomenal collection of wisdom, talent, resources from all these cool healers, teachers, leaders, authors, soul-preneurs and heart-centered business owners.
I have been the happy recipient in a number of these events so I know the kind of quality and value that people are generally offering.
I usually wind up opting in to a bunch of these gifts at once since there’s a limited time frame to get them. Afterwards, I can check out the offerings, visit their websites or fb groups. If I find I’m not really interested after all or it doesn’t feel like a match of personality or program, there’s always the unsubscribe button.
Basically, I think giveaways like this are really cool and a benefit for all involved.
Here’s a bit more about my story and this giveaway:
I’ve been wanting to be a contributor to one of these giveaway events
for a few years now. I even signed up several times as a contributor to several of them on the free and most limited level – so there was not much to lose except some hope that this time I’d really get it done.
I never got any thing off the ground. It was discouraging to keep planning to then not, gonna do it this time, then not. Partly, I wasn’t ready to be seen to that degree, partly the list of techy to-dos in order to deliver my “gift” was daunting. Partly I was more used to wishing I would do it and that my business, my heart-work would take off and support me and less used to stepping into a crowd of interested people and seeing what would happen next.
Well, this time a business mentor and coach recommended this same event and I decided that this time I would get support, get ready and get over wishing and I signed up – as a paying participant and I’m going forward and I won’t look back.
So, I’m in, I’m doing it and here’s some of what I expect to get in the process:
To get past the places I hold myself back
To get comfortable explaining what it is I do for my clients.
To step out and reach more people; a wider audience of folks who are actually looking for practitioners, service providers like ME.
To build a list of people who want to know when I announce things to like my upcoming spoonbending webinars, classes and coaching programs and more.
Email lists are still one of the most effective and least costly ways to get your message out.
The Divinely Connected Biz event makes it possible to join together with other folks with a tiny biz and a tiny mailing list or even no list and mix it up with the bigger biz folks who already have a a large following. We all benefit from exposure to a wider audience and a great selection of gifts for the visitors.
I know it’s possible I could get 1000 or more new subscribers to my newsletter but honestly
if this event help me increase the size of my list to over 200 (Currently about 48) I would be happy with the results.
I’ve been holding webinars, teaching people to bend spoons, talking about self-love, shifting mindsets and a lot more. When I share the webinar through my own connections honestly, I think only several dozen people ever wind up seeing it.
I feel frustrated that I have so much to offer and not enough audience to offer it to.
A few months ago I gave a talk/demonstration about spoon bending to a small business group. Most of the time when I share this I get a lot of enthusiasm and curiosity and interaction. This time though, I got silence and blank stares from nearly everyone in the group. Despite being a little nervous and not my best presentation, the disconnect really was that I was talking to people who didn’t really want what I had, didn’t really “get” where I was coming from. You know what I mean? That was uncomfortable and one of those “never again” sort of situations.
Moving past obstacles, real and perceived.
When the student I (me) is ready, the teacher appears. I’m jumping in with both feet and let all of the experience that is to come be my teacher. Imperfect action is a lot more effective than inaction. Better done than none.
I’m ready to “show up ,step out and share my skills to a much bigger circle of people; people who showed up because of the word “divine” rather than in spite of it; spiritually minded, clients, customers, new friends who will “get me” and what I’m sharing. I’m ready to give and ready to be “gotten.”
I know one of the promoters and quite a few of the contributing partners so I’m confident about the integrity of the event and the honest useful offerings that will be made.
One of the ways I help to make this a successful venture is to let other cool business owners know that this even exists. Joining is by invitation only and I’m specifically calling out to other tiny biz owners like me;
self-employed lightworkers, artists, visionaries
who want to make a difference;
soulpreneurs whose businesses are also their calling,
who really want to share what we’ve got and make a living doing it.
So, consider yourself invited.
There’s still time to be a part of this and get the to-dos done.
If you’re interested but it feels too daunting there is some good support from the creators of the event. I’m willing to lend a hand too to help you figure things out.
