How Did I Do It?
Don’t let the photo fool you:
 
This was a big year for me. 3 MAJOR milestones accomplished.
 
In May, my pool was built- If you know me, this was my dream – not a family dream – so I agreed to make the money for it myself.
 
This week – The first week of December 2022 -I move from writer to published Author. I first had this dream crystallized in my heart at 23 – in Boulder, Colorado, when I came across Thomas Moore’s and Sark’s books.
 
Next week I finish L1 training in IFS – this gives me one technical “credential,” but what I’m really proud of speaks to HOW I did ALL of these things:
 
I invested in myself – and boy, if it were as easy as investing cash- wouldn’t that have been fun And yes, I’ve been my own “angel investor” for years. (I will acknowledge the literally inherited privilege of being white and educated and a small trust fund from my grandfather that helped me invest in my first home and pay off some of my school debt – these gifts were MONUMENTAL support). For many years, honestly, I debted – I borrowed and played a money shell game with myself. I stopped debiting to live or work (other than my home) in 2017.
 
Yes, I have invested in myself and my business – things that cost money: It’s almost obscene how much I spend on personal and professional and personal development and have for years:
 
Hand drawn and written multi color watercolor back ground with white lettering that says "How did I do it I invested in Myself - money and time, Love, Allison"
  • Coaching, reading, classes, learning, therapy, art supplies, black writing pens and journals, and more coaching – business coaching, money coaching, book coaching, profit first coaching, money coaching, creative coaching, IFS coaching, sales coaching – that’s what I can think of off-hand.
 
  • I’ve invested in implementation support: Podcasting producer who also emotionally supports my creative mojo and flow – not only does she create great sound – she gets the ebb and flow of creativity and believes in me. I invest in admin support, and off and on over the years, I’ve experimented with marketing support. And, of course, I invest in the systems and tech required to run my business – so many subscriptions and little expenses here and there that add up.
 
Most of these expenses have paid off – some have been monumental failures – expensive lessons.
 
I don’t spend lots of money on material luxuries, clothes, hair, lashes, nails – I do get good skincare and cheap makeup from the grocery store – but I don’t give a rat’s ass about a new car or highlights anymore.
 
But here is how I have really invested in myself even more than MONEY: TIME ON TASK. All the coaching and learning without implementation is just entertainment. I am a grand experimenter – and if YOU want to make your dreams come true, then be a daily experimenter – Time on task, over and over.
 
What I really invest in is Time on task:
🕰️ Time spent doing my nourishing habits (reading, writing, moving my body, journaling, parts work, drinking water, etc.).
🕰️ Time spent sharing my heart and showing my work – thinking and doing things that hopefully serve my audience and clients.
🕰️ Time Practicing my skills in real-time – not waiting until things are perfect. (The hours – and I mean HOURS I spent coaching my ass off and doing IFS as a coach, client and student have been more effective than any class or training).
🕰️ Time resting and recovering and NOT working.
🕰️ Time learning how to allocate and track my money. This year I’m taking my books back from my bookkeeper to master the daily nuances of my finances- more Time spent ahead).
🕰️ Time serving clients, Time making offers.
🕰️ Time doing the learning and then DOING what I learn.
🕰️ Time writing – every single day. Making it just what I do.
🕰️ Time healing my nervous system
🕰️ Time doing boring stuff – no one sees over and over and over and over.
🕰️ and, yes, time-wasting (playing dumb video games, watching tv, trolling on Twitter, to name a few). Time to recover from all the time I invest doing Time on task stuff.
 
You don’t have to bet on yourself the exact ways I do. You don’t have to invest in yourself the way I do. But Oprah isn’t coming. Life isn’t the “Field of Dreams – where if you build it, they will come.
 
You do have to choose your actions, attitude, and investments – bet on yourself. No one else’s bet will be stronger, and one day you will look up and see your long tail of accomplishments and be deeply proud. If you want that for you, I want that for you – but wanting isn’t enough. So put the Time on task.

I’ve been in business for 17 years. 

17 years I’ve learned and unlearned and found a framework that’s worked for me. 

It’s one that allows me to keep myself balanced and sane and focused in my business. 

It’s one you can use too. 

It simply cultivates both the BEING and the DOING in our lives so we can really get to the secret sauce of what we have to offer this world. 

I’m giving you a quick rundown of this framework in this show, specifically I’ll share with you: 

1:01 – An announcement of my NEW masterclass (March 13,2021 – contact me if you want in)

2:03 – A deep dive into this business model that I use, starting with the “BEING” side

8:02 –  A look at the 4 pieces of the “DOING” side that creates a successful business

10:54 – How I want us to reclaim sales 

16:17 – How you can go deeper into all of these ideas 

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s been the greatest framework for myself and my clients – would love to know what insights it brought forth for you.

The impetus to hustle is strong out there.  In the corporate world, in the online business world.  

Struggling and striving is the way of the world, and many heart-centered business folks get sucked in.  But the hustle isn’t sustainable.  I’m not saying that success doesn’t require effort. I am saying, that success is a long game. It is a series of fundamental steps, vs a few grand slam moments.

This week’s episode was inspired by thoughts that came out of listening to a talk by Walter Nusbaum at Catalyst Denton  (You can find his original talk here).

Walter’s talk got me thinking when he asked, “What does it take to reap the rewards#8221; I started thinking about the elements of pleasurable and rewarding success.

I came up with 6 Ps of a Pleasurable and Profitable Business. 

 

 1) Be Persistent

  • When one has the capacity to create big chunks of revenue, it isn’t uncommon to think “If onlyI can hit the grand slam home run – everything will right itself.”
  • This thinking creates a tension in our body
  • Free throws, layups and … win games… not the 3 point shots
  • The quick fix is in demand but doesn’t reap the true rewards. 
  • Frequency over Intensity.
  • Hustling is not sustainable.
  • [bctt tweet=”You can run further if you run slower.” -Allison Crow” username=”allicrow”]

2) Be Prolific

  • You think you have to write the whole book but….
  • If you put out a little paragraph out every day, it creates a cumulative effect
  • Do a little bit every day
  • Create continually

3) Be Patient

  • Exponential success factor – people often quit just before the success really hits
  • **Part of being patient is being persistent
  • Walter – “The rewards come at the end”
  • Where is my revenue Seems like it’s going to pay things from behind…
  • Sometimes I think what job could I get that would pay my net… it would have to be a sales job. AND… I’m in a sales job right now… we all are… if you’re an artist/entrepreneur you are in sales.. you are worrying about your own problems instead of someone else’s for security

4) Perspective

  • You are too easy on yourself
  • You are so hard on yourself
  • Get perspective.  Spiral in and spiral out. 
  • Having a coach is super helpful in getting perspective. 

[bctt tweet=”“Allowing pleasure shows up on the balance sheet of your soul.” – Allison Crow” username=”allicrow”]

5) Be Present

  • Mindfulness, presence, and awareness, the Divine – bring it into your business.
  • When we are present we drop below the automatic thinking.
  • What is true for you deeper than your thoughts?
  • Tune into your spiritual guides.

6) Prophet first then Profit.

****You can Profit first when you Prophet first.  Here is the blog post from this week on Prophet First or Profit First /profit-first-or-prophet-first/

The seasons change for me today. Energetically I feel that today is a New Years Day of sorts. Just a knowing— as I flow with energy cycles more than calendar dates these days. I can hear that the beginning weeks of this new larger cycle is called The Clearings.

Yes. Lots of clearing out of things, releasing of the old, both in stuff and in my digital life. Also in my mind and thinking. This requires slowness, empty space, meditation, nature, music, and possibly writing— journaling might be taking a lead over painting for a while.
The world tells me I have to push and plan now for 2016. But what if I listen to my inner guidance system- my Divine Inner Whisper What if I Created

S❤️P❤️A❤️C❤️E

Before I created new clients, programs, courses and even art.
Well, I know I can trust that Inner Whisper. I know that it is safe for me to enter The Clearings before creating the next new thing. All the marketing and business experts say- “strike while it is hot.”
BARF
What if I, instead, CREATE & INVITE when I am Inspired?! Yep. I know that it works.
I trust in the ABUNDANCE of this Loving Universe to allow the slow down….
Maybe you could use a slow down too Check in with YOUR Inner Whisper….. Follow the path with heart and your divine energies.
💛 love, AC
