We've almost made it to the end of 2021. I know that a lot of December newsletters focus on reflecting on the year gone by and/or the year ahead but I am going to take a different approach. You wouldn't expect anything different from me though. While reflecting on the past and preparing for the future are definitely powerful practices if you are reading this newsletter, I bet you have some great tools and resources in your circle guiding you on that already.

What we are going to focus on today is more about the present and a powerful tool that you will find help in your reflections and planning efforts. I know that what I share is going to help you in the future and ultimately will help you leverage the past in a more powerful way so I invite you to settle in with your cup of coffee and read on. I'll wait while you go get a warm-up...

So, the header of this email has a phrase that I've been using really often with myself and clients lately and it totally requires being in the present.

I wanted to use this newsletter to share some insights about this phrase because I know it will help support you in bringing more JOY into your life and business journey.

Let's start by defining the main words of the phrase:

Just by looking at the definitions of these words, you can tell how powerful practicing applying this phrase in your business (& life) could bring more SOUL to your experience.

In order to be able to do this, it requires being PRESENT! Tuning in to what is obscure and reflecting on if something is causing discomfort or dissonance is a powerful lens to use as you look back at 2021 AND as you look forward to 2022.

The differences between discomfort and dissonance are very often obscure but if we don't slow down and be present enough to assess the difference it can cause some significant misalignment in what and how you are doing things.

Remember that misalignment is not a cause for alarm since we always can give ourselves permission to pause and shift directions. This is the most Soulful way to BE.

This also certainly creates a more effortless Pathway to JOY. And you probably recall that here at Proffit Coach we like to say that JOY is the best business strategy. Need help with this?

Do you feel like you could use some help with discerning the difference between which parts of your business could benefit from taking a more soulful approach versus a traditional approach? Then I promise, that you will not want to miss the Soulful Entrepreneur Summit.

There are free Limited Access tickets and fee-based All-Access tickets. You will gain connections, tips/tools, and resources to make 2022 a more soulfully successful year.

You know I always like to end my newsletters by sharing a song that I love. So given that we are talking about taking a soulful approach to business I thought that I Was Here by Beyonce would be a gorgeous song because the lyrics reflect how what think many of us soulful entrepreneurs are striving for. To leave an impact and have no regrets with the life that we live.
