Do you function as if you are alone on this planet, or do you acknowledge that you are part of the ecosystem? In this episode of Choice, Change and Action Simone Milasas talks with Rachael O’Brien about ecosystems and applying that to business. An ecosystem is not just nature. We are a part of this planet. What are you choosing by being a part of this planet? You have this ability to have this joy and appreciation and receiving that contributes to you and to others, no matter what. What if by being in question and being that joy and wonder and that curiosity you have in your world allows us to be that acoustical wavelength with nature, with the universe and be a part of the ecosystem? What miracles can we have and be on the planet with and as our businesses? Keys Takeaways What Is An Ecosystem In Business?Choosing Something DifferentThere Is No Such Thing As FailureBeing The Energy And Space Of True Engagement What Is An Ecosystem In Business? A few years ago Simone was on a game drive in South Africa at Londolozi with a friend, and it was just their driver and the two of them out there driving for hours at a time. Different scenarios would show up to engage with the Earth and the animals there. The driver commented on their appreciation of it and not taking it for granted. He would tell them about different clients, and one thing he said was certain clients you could tell were just sitting on the truck, watching and observing like they weren't a part of it. And they started talking about being a part of the ecosystem. Just because they were on a truck, it doesn't mean they aren't a part of the ecosystem. Simone started using that as an analogy in business. We may watch others in business and sit back and observe, but what if every choice you make you are a part of this ecosystem that contributes, or doesn't contribute? Your choice could contribute so much, and it could just be ease and joy, it could be money, it could be possibility, it could be anything. Or, your not choosing can also deflate the ecosystem. An ecosystem is not just nature. It's not just the sound of bees around a flower or the waves lapping. It's everything. We are a part of this planet. What are you choosing by being a part of this planet? Are you choosing with it or are you choosing against it? Are you choosing superiority where perhaps you shouldn't? There's a difference between doing superiority and being superior in different areas. What miracles can we have and be on the planet with and as our businesses? Rachael came from a very lack filled background. So, when Simone talks about the ecosystem and how everything contributes, and about the interaction between two people making something greater, she can see the true communion that Simone has with possibilities; the genuine question of improving someone's living through engagement. We all know this occurs for us. For example, Simone lives across the road from the beach. The minute she walks across the street and puts her feet into the sand, her body has a sense of peace and gratitude. When Rachael walks out of her house into the forest, instantly she has an improvement in energy in her body and the way she lives. When Rachael mentioned the beach and the woods, did you tap into them, even though you may never have been there; whether it was the energy in your body or the energy you picked up on in either Rachael or Simone's bodies? You have the ability and the capacity to be that energy wherever you are. Simone gets to wear no shoes and walk across the road. The tarmac is sometimes a little hard on your feet, or in summer it's friggin hot. Then you get to the sand and the water. All of those energies and all of the different vibrations are such a contribution to Simone and her body, but she can access those just sitting in her office. You can access that no matter where you are. What if that is this magical acoustical wavelength across the entirety of the planet that you have access to no matter where you are. Practise that. Right now, practise going, "What is Peregian Beach like? What are the woods in Germany like?" and go even further. "What is it like on Mt Everest? What is it like in Costa Rica?" Simone has this beautiful backyard at the moment where she's planted this food forest. What's that like? Simone is sitting in her office, but she can tap into the blueberries that were planted just yesterday. You have this ability to have this joy and appreciation and receiving that contributes to you no matter what. Unfortunately, Rachael can’t see that living when people go to work. As a Joy of Business facilitator, it's one of the things she deals with. People come in and their bodies are tired and they are stressed out. Rachael says she used to have a lot of angst in regards to business and money, and through the awareness of the way the ecosystem works, for example, the trees don't get stressed to do their job; it sends out its roots for resources, and there ...
