Know why women fail more often than men at starting a business?
(Hint: It's not your fault AND you are not a victim to it either)
Well, well, well! Someone today told me about a video that Bill Whatsis from Microsoft put out about how easy it was for him to start a business, and the shit show that his wife faced when she had to effort like mad to start hers. Maybe it’s the divorce or maybe it’s my researching abilities at almost 6pm on a Friday, but I can’t find that in either video or written form.
I can’t say that I’m surprised at the difference, though.
Time to ignore this garbage and go straight to the source: you.
Honestly, this is a big turning in my road. I’m a doer. Always have been. And getting to be an adult made it worse rather than better. “Be responsible!” “Get it done!”
Bullshit. All of it. Bullshit bullshit bullshit!
I am response-able. That’s as far as I’m going with that. And that’s everything, so “good on me”!
What does it take to walk right out the damn toxic masculine door? God knows I’ve tried a lot of different things. Fighting it. Giving in to it in order maybe to squeeze through that door. Working on my healing. Coming to understand that in shifting my emotional setpoint, I change my life. THAT is a big one!
And this morning I’m sick of pushing toward even that.
The answer is AAALLLLL feminine! ALL OF IT!
Keeping the vision - the feeling vision - of my natural joyousness, the child Lori, the wonder, the magic, the joyful clapping of my hands when something amazing appears! - keeping all of that first by knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt that that is Who I Am.
It’s you too, by the way.
Keeping that as my island of reality, in the forefront of my consciousness. Stopping the war with my thoughts. Just switch the channel. Just SWITCH THE CHANNEL.
I don’t know why we pay with our lives for the wisdom and insight that we acquire on this planet, but it seems to be the way. I was listening to Debra ____, master astrologer, in her second appearance on Next Level Soul and she said that when she dies she’s got a lot of questions for the divine, among which is “Why is this all set up so that we suffer our way forward???”
I like the way she thinks, because I also think it’s wacky and painful.
Anyway, what is currently happening is none of our freaking business, but how we are setting our sails is. I am setting my third-eye “sail” to expectation of fabulousness. And why shouldn’t I? I am fabulousness!
So are you, by the way.
I AM fabulousness! That is where the real “I” vibrates and lives, moves and has its being.
For today, and today, and today - because every day is today - I put down both my weapons and my tools and I make my work that of receivorship and allowing and inspired action.
That is all. There is nothing else to do or be.
This is the truth. It is also the Truth.
Even as I write it, I feel my shoulders clench, my body already trying to “make” something happen. It’s ridiculous. It’s already all happened, and it is in constant and vibrant vibrational motion, swirling in perfect patterns of feminine joy and masculine action.
It’s perfect!
I am stepping into the stream.
And the water is fine.
Winning at business
We can’t play their game. it’s so damn toxic, they can’t play their game. But we’ve always gotten the brunt of this ridiculous thing, and we have a completely different game to play.
It’s the vibrational, emotional game, the very game they don’t want us to play.
And there’s a reason they don’t want us to play with emotion - it’s stronger than they are. So, let’s get this boat pushed off from the shore, and let’s get going, y’all.
July 2nd I’m going to do a 90-minute workshop called “Can You See Me Now?” and I’m making this a jailbreak for all of us women who are sick and tired of playing games we just can’t play, much less win.
Look, we all have things that we’re focused on improving, whether it’s traumas or building a business. And as long as we keep on trying to fit those efforts SOLELY into either the masculine-only (no feminine to be seen anywhere), or the toxic masculine, boxes, we’re slowed down immeasurably.
But if we want to get a freaking MOVE-ON, we have to use our EMOTION! We have to use our ENERGY! We have to give up that stupid game and just leave it to entropically exhaust itself, which is exactly what is happening in the U.S.
Call it the end of Kali Yuga and the start of the next, and you’re right.
Call it a waste of your time and you’re right.
Call it God’s calling - I don’t care! Whatever you call it, just get off of that stoopid island of self-abuse and get into the taboo practice of using your emotions to play a game they can’t even see you playing!!!! It’s magical! It’s unpredictable! It’s dependable! It’s joyous! It’s feminine!
Seriously, let’s go. The workshop is on July 2nd from 6:30-8PM EST. Sign up. It will be recorded and sent your way if you can’t make it.
Love and joy - Lori
