If you've ever had a deep spiritual experience, then you know how disorienting it can sometimes be to return to "the real world" of business and meetings and money.

• Why you don't have to leave your spiritual beliefs at the door and how to connect with them in a way that works for any situation
• A question that can make your business more of a spiritual practice without needing to talk directly about spiritual things at work
• How to use your company's vision and values to connect with your deepest convictions about life and the impact you want to have

Being alone does not mean being lonely.

It can be an experience of peace, power, creativity, healing, and more.

But for it to be any of those things—and not just annoying—you sometimes need to know why you're doing it and get some guidance on what to do. Otherwise your time alone may not be as fruitful as it could be.

That's why we developed a practice we like to call "Solo Soul Time." It's a way of being alone intentionally, focused on where you need nourishment, growth, or just some space.

In this episode you will discover:

• How alone time can lead to personal growth and success in your business
• How to escape the need for approval from others in order to feel worthy
• A question that brings you to a deeper part of yourself almost instantly

Succeeding in business can be boiled down to two things: making great decisions and following through on them.

We're going to focus on the first one, noticing how great decisions are more than just the choice you make, but also the speed and confidence with which you make it.

The fact is, many business owners move too slowly with their decisions, falsely thinking that if they just wait a little longer to decide then they will have a better chance of making "the right decision."

But as with so many other aspects of leadership, making good decisions is a skill that you can improve at, which will help you overcome the analysis paralysis that many leaders experience.

In this episode you will discover:

• The foundation for confident decision making, and how to build it for yourself
• A question that will help you avoid beating yourself up over decisions that don't turn out well
• The hidden resources for your business and life that lie untapped while you mull over a decision
