I’ve been on a bit of a “hiatus” from my business for the last six months or so. Sure I’ve been attending to my monthly and weekly clients, but all you have to do is look at the dates of the posts on my blogs to know that I’ve been mostly MIA.
The why isn’t really important. Neither is the guilt I feel for having been less than responsible, or even the rising panic that I may never get my business back on track.
What is important is that I’ve been here before, and I know how to reconnect with my business.

Now, some people would suggest that I just jump back in to things – get back up on the horse, so to speak. I suspect those folks are rather type A, and I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they don’t realize the damage they do to us heart-centered, small business owners when they offer that advice.
I know better than to try to muscle past the resistance that builds up with disconnect; that only damages my tender heart and reinforces the resistance.
Instead, I need clarity and concrete steps. I need a way to engage with the feelings of disconnect, and gently release it along with all the other pent up emotions.
Times like these call for one of two practices: ritual or retreat.

| Ritual is for when you know what you need to do. Retreat is for when you’re not sure and need to gather more information. Here’s what that looks like in practice: |  |
Business Owner 1 got derailed when Life (with a capital L) got in the way and she had to temporarily put her business on the back burner. She knows what she needs to do, but she feels so much guilt about the delay that she just can’t get started.
She needs a ritual to release her guilt and get back on track.
Business Owner 2 has lots of aspirations and dreams, but very little structure. She lacks a clear idea of what she might do next, and as such she can’t jump start getting back into her business.
She needs a retreat – a structured time outside of her ordinary work time – dedicated to uncovering the next best steps for her business.
Feel familiar? Looking for a way to reconnect with that beautiful, heart-centered business that you've lost track of?
Join me for a free call on Thursday, October 6th at 12 noon EST and we'll do just that.
During this 1-hour call we’ll explore the differences between these two practices, and learn which one is better for getting you unstuck and moving forward in your (temporarily) stalled business. Then we'll walk through some basics that will allow you to use these two practices for yourself, along with some time for Q&A.
