Had a rant last night to a friend about feeling frustrated and hopeless about marketing.
Here yet again.
(Someday I may write a post explaining my experience with marketing. But for basic context there seems to be no correlation between my marketing efforts and the number of new participants for my retreats and online programs. People come in waves. And if anything the waves seem to be bigger when I don't market. And yet I want to grow my business and impact. Marketing is one of my blind spots and makes me spaz out.)

The shore break down the south end of the beach is small but heavy. Shore break waves come up out of deep water and hit a sandbar and throw barrels which explode into shallow water and occasionally right onto the sand. We love riding shore break, my son Santi and I. He's 10 years old now.

Where does real change come from?
If you want to change, how do you do it and keep it?
Real change comes from beyond you.
You THINK it comes from your mind.
But you see in your life that lasting change OCCASIONALLY works but usually doesn’t stick.
REAL change comes from somewhere else.

So you sign up for some kind of personal or professional development program, a seminar or a retreat, and you go, and you get all excited, you promise you’re going to make all these new changes… and then what happens?

If you’re feeling stuck, guess who’s holding you there?
Yup… YOU.

Do you feel frustrated and ready to throw in the towel with the topic of your life purpose and the frustration of people talking about a purpose, that you have a purpose?

Morning from Bali.
We just finished a VisionQuest Bali retreat a few days ago. Each group is different.
And one of the things that I most like about these retreats are the new things that we learn and the new things that we get to see people experience.
