Why Slow Business Wins The Race

July 10, 2017 by Natalie Kent


slow business: natural timing is on your side

For the last three years, I’ve been travelling around the natural wonders of Australia, in and out of wi-fi so I can build my business whilst maintaining my connection with nature. So much of what I teach is inspired by the success of our natural world, specifically how we can grow in harmony with all of creation, without sacrificing our health, relationships or our planet. It all begins with pace…

You may have heard of the emerging ‘slow business’ movement, which some progressive organisations and even well-known technology companies are adopting by choice. It urges people to reduce the pervasive fast pace of our economy and instead reap the rewards of organic growth. I call it living in ‘Earth time’.

 

Mind time versus Earth time

Our economy has been created largely from the mind, driven by the ego’s need to feel secure, overriding our innate sense of natural rhythm and timing. When the mind tries to control timing, life moves too quickly for our bodies and our environment to keep up with. It pushes us to create more and more, without looking square on at the side effects of maintaining such a high level of growth.

‘Mind time’ has yielded technologies that we as humans can barely keep up with, it’s left local communities without natural resources, people with permanently high blood pressure, and eroded intimacy in relationships. All because ‘there isn’t enough time’.

Living from the mind alone has resulted in much noise and distraction from what really matters: co-creating with each other and our planet from peace, not fear.

What’s more, we are so conditioned in our society for ‘overnight success’ – we only see the pinnacle of people’s work when it’s in the spotlight of (social) media. When we watch an athlete win a medal at the Olympics, we are not privy to personal, financial and physical sacrifices over many years that made it happen. We take it for granted and worse, become programmed into thinking ‘that’s all it takes, I can do that’. We’re only evaluating what we see. In my view, underlying all true success is slow progress.

12 Ways You’re Avoiding Your Soul Work

February 20, 2017 by Natalie Kent


The last few days I have been frustrated beyond belief. Why? I had no idea.

Until I realized that the frustration I was feeling was due to NOT actualising my full potential in my work; side-stepping my true capacity to create what only I can create.

Let’s take a step back for a minute.

Why do humans create? Buildings, families, businesses, communities… Why do we do it?

Somewhere inside us we feel the pulse of creation, the creative force of the universe that is constantly evolving our reality.

This the purest form of creation. But what typically happens is this: we try to create for gain. Our own personal agenda gets in the way and we find ourselves thinking about something other than the creation itself: what we’ll get out of it.

In business it’s a common, but insidious thought that governs our behaviour:

‘What is going to make me money?’

As soon as our thoughts switch to money, we have lost touch with the creative impulse and our egos start to take over, for personal gain. What we create becomes about the money first and the creation second.

To clarify – We are right to think about our livelihood, but how can we possibly know what will support our lives? Quite simply, we like to think we know because it feels safer, but we don’t.

So the golden question emerges…

Un-money: What To Do When You’re Not Motivated By Money

July 13, 2016 by Natalie Kent

not motivated by money

Hi, I’m Natalie and I’m a business coach who is not motivated by money.

What does that even mean, ‘not motivated by money’?

It’s taken me a long time to realize this about myself. I used to think I was motivated by money; from the outside looking in, I functioned like ‘everyone else’. I talked about money, set monetary goals, was happy when I made money and I charged above-average rates for my services.

But on the inside, I never really felt the connection. I was making myself function like everyone else, but I didn’t feel it. [I should have known when every single financial goal I ever set never came to fruition!]

It’s a strange thing to be in this world – to not be motivated by money… To not get excited by dollar signs, counting pennies and acquiring material things, like we see most people do.

I have had my share of money issues – not feeling worthy, avoiding my numbers, over-spending and more – and as I started to face these behaviours and beliefs, I began to see that to some degree, they were bound up in a ‘cover act’ to convince myself that I was ‘into money’.

That was my first breakthrough.

I was able to heal my relationship with money firstly by being honest in saying, ‘money, you just don’t turn me on’.

For a time, this was a very painful place to be, to realize I wasn’t into money and feeling like I had nowhere to go, no path to follow, especially in business. Facing this pain, which I believe is was really the pain of me denying my truth for so long, was part of the healing process.

Of course, none of this changes the fact that money is a reality we all have to face, and I had to find my way to work with it, so my ‘un-money’ mentality didn’t undermine me.  

I had to find a way to embrace money.

{Sacred Money} Natural Growth with Julie Wolk

May 1, 2016 by Natalie Kent

Welcome to the #SacredMoneySeries where I am exploring money strategies with fellow conscious business coaches. Grab a cuppa, sit back and let your own money-making juices flow!

Are you doing business in the fast lane?

I often get caught up in the whirlwind of rapid business growth and then collapse in a heap when I remember that it’s not possible to grow quickly without side effects(poor health, neglected relationships, money strain, and the list goes on!). It’s why I look to nature for answers, so that my pace is set by something that is greater than my fears and my ambitions. After all, we ARE nature.

And it was music to my ears to hear a fellow business coach saying almost those exact words to me this week in the Sacred Money Series. 

Julie Wolk is a business coach who teaches business by nature, and she has plenty to say about sustainable growth and what that means in terms of money including:

  • How one key ingredient can set you up for long-term business prosperity
  • How to master the inner and outer aspects of money
  • What simple, no-cost strategies can open your money flow

{Soul Notes} The Big Reveal

September 26, 2015 by Natalie Kent

Recently I felt the urge to ask the graduates of the Soul Business Blueprint this question: ‘What do you know to be true about soul-based business?’ I asked them to write their responses for the Sacred Business blog. Here are their inspiring reflections…

soul-notes

So, here I am, on the edge of launching a new offering that is so powerfully effective that it even blows my mind… pushing myself to a new level of creation and tapping into some of my under-utilised natural abilities.

And there’s a road block, well sort of.  An obstacle that feels so big that it’s almost insurmountable.  But, is it? Really? I’ve been told that it’s only a small obstacle, about ‘this’ high… less than a foot …  Surely that’s surmountable…  🙂

So, here goes… I’m realising how terrified I have been of the Big Reveal.  The one where I tell the world my story. Ironically, I’m great at story. Ironically, again, I like telling my story. I am an amazing story teller and I do love an audience… However, for all my love of telling story, I am actually quite a deeply private person and I prefer to share my story with a more select audience of close friends and confidantes… and, dare I say it, anyone who’s willing to listen, but usually on a one to one basis.

So what I have I been afraid of? Well, a whole plethora of things jump to mind but the biggest ones are of being seen, and being shot down for sticking my head above the crowd… and stepping outside the comfort zone of anonymity.  I can tell you, it’s very safe in my cave, and I love it. It’s warm and cozy in here.

My story goes like this…

5 Signs You’re Giving Your Power Away & How To Reclaim It

April 6, 2015 by Natalie Kent

The recent lunar eclipse was very powerful in sparking transformation through revealing patterns in our lives that no longer serve us. I’ve noticed a pattern in myself and other entrepreneurs that holds them back from earning the money they desire. It all comes down to power and the fact that in order to reach new heights in our businesses, in terms of professional and financial growth, we need to become more powerful. The first step is recognising how we’re unconsciously giving our power away…

elephant-power1

There are times in my life when I have been a victim – a victim of circumstance so I thought. I wondered why things often didn’t work out in my favour and how I got so ‘unlucky’. I used to push to create the things that I wanted, forcing them to happen, or if I couldn’t, I lived out the fantasy in my mind. Little did I realize that I was unconsciously creating these scenarios to teach me about power.

It is very common for us to relinquish our power, to give it away, without realizing. We do this on a daily basis sometimes, and it becomes a habitual cycle of disempowerment. For example, some of the comments we make are actually disempowering:

“My relationship is falling apart”

“My health is in shambles”

“I can’t seem to make enough money”

These are the types of thoughts that make us feel powerless. When we feel powerless, we get stuck in a cycle of creating difficult situations that make us feel even more powerless.

So what is power?
