10. A Letter to Agnes DeMille : Martha Graham
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique.
If you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium
and be lost.
The world will not have it.
11. It is not your business to determine how good it is;
nor how valuable it is;
nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep open and aware directly
of the urges that motivate you.
12. Keep the channel open.
No artist is pleased.
There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction;
a blessed unrest that keeps us marching
and makes us more alive than the others.
37. Thank you!
A gift for you and

\n
Freelancing for Greenpeace, body aching, scared.\nDone 1 consulting biz + 2 product biz. Crisis.\nBought house. Lost GP. No projects. Wake-up call.\nDecided to discover purpose. Sitting in cold house, winter, no heat.\nEpiphany. Life purpose. Unification of spiritual approach to life with business + entrepreneurship.\nGuiding star ever since. Apple vs Google/Microsoft.\n
\n
Growth = know yourself + become yourself + free yourself from fear, false beliefs, and old wounds.\n\nEntrepreneurship = #1 way to grow\n\nAction: Decide to make growth #1\nBenefits: Clarity, focus, direction, success, make a difference, more you, more whole\n

The reason why entrepreneurship is great for growth\nTendency to stress => a lot more, a lot faster\nAnd you can express yourself more directly\n\nBUT: No-one to push you. Need mentor / coach / mastermind\nSomeone who can see your potential and help you reach it\n
\n
Give me examples!\n\nCompetitors popping up\nColleagues not doing what they should\nCustomer complains\nBank/accountant/investors asking nasty questions\nSales calls\nMilestones/goals\n\n
