With our first live event happening at Sadler’s Wells this Thursday plus the launch of our first published book – ‘The Message’ by Barefoot Doctor – on the same evening, we are well and truly breathing life into the new venture I co-created with Jude Levy and Katharine Dever last year ImagoPeopleTV.
It’s a marketing portal created to promote transformational teachers, heart-centred thought leaders and evolutionaries – and here are the first 20 stars of Imago in the showreel we created from our first shoot last year.
What’s more we’ve also launched a ‘Mentoring Cocoon’ designed to help groom you and your personal brand if you are needing help & support on your journey – details are at www.imagopeople.tv/cocoon.
If you’d like to get involved in Imago please do email me at rachel [at] imagopeople.tv
Here’s the recording of last week’s ‘Tycoon Women’ show on Playvybz radio where I shared 7 moments of great highs and lows from my journey – each accompanied by a music choice to symbolise them. The interview starts at 14mins 30 seconds in:
To be honest I am getting a bit fed up of the ‘Anti-Capitalism’ protests.
Mainly because no one who is interviewed can actually say what they are ‘Pro’ instead. Which reduces them to a group of whingeing troublemakers trying to feel important sitting in tents while doing nothing… Much complaining but no solutions.
There’s a lot to be said for Capitalism. It is what allows me to write this blog to you, communicate on my iPhone, buy cornflakes for £1.50 a packet, travel and generally function.
Or buy a £89 dome tent from Milletts in which to protest in.
Look at countries which don’t have the same organisation of capital – for example Africa. Millions starve.
The problem is not Capitalism. The problem is the greed and abuse of power that kicks in where money is involved. It is where the needs of self (or the organisation/group) are put above the needs of others.
In blocking the church and cluttering the streets so businesses cannot function I am afraid the St Paul’s protesters are just another face of that same selfish ‘me-first’ coin.
The real power lies with the consumer – so the answer is simple.
Don’t place your money with banks who are corrupt. Don’t buy goods and services from companies which are unethical.
Spend your days creating value through serving others. Support local traders. Collaborate. Switch to natural sources of power. Grow your own vegetables. Make do and mend. Love others for what is in their soul, not how they look, or what clothes they are wearing. Be grateful for all the abundance in your life.
Live in harmony.
But meantime don’t destroy the system that serves so many so well and allows us all to function.
When shrines are created for a corporate leader you know that we have entered a new era for business.
An era where business is about far more than just making money, and where entrepreneurs are the visionaries who have the power to change the world.
It isn’t governments who are going to get us out of the current broken mess – they are far too busy trying to preserve the status quo.
It is individuals – taking inspired action to create change and lead the people into the new era.
At a time where our schools are still teaching us that complexity and detail are what wins grades and where governments churn out 68 page dossiers to express what could be summed up in an A4 page, I love this quote by Steve Jobs:
“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”— BusinessWeek interview, May 1998
In case you haven’t seen it here is Steve Job’s famous Stanford Speech -which talks about synchronicity, faith and passion; about keeping going when the ‘corporate’ world rejects you and about living each day as if it were your last. The new era is not so much about Business Plans and logical thought through 3 year forecasts as dreaming big and manifesting everything you need along the way; living in faith and working from the heart not the head.
The last ever Virtual Mentoring session took place on Wednesday 28 September 2011 where we showcased some of the businesses I have helped and learned the things that have worked for the entrepreneurs involved. Listen in for a fascinating insight into these stories of success:
