The Business Of The Business
Years ago I began a successful landscape business.
I developed a good reputation, had many clients, but lost money.
When I sold the company to a competitor, I was able to pay my
outstanding bills but had nothing in my pocket. I knew nothing
of The Business
of The Business.
Years later, I was offered the opportunity
to work in an office and learn The Business of The Business.
My employer was skilled in dealing with her staff, clients and
vendors, sharing her process from her Heart.
I worked for five years learning lessons most folks never have
the privilege to experience. This year Divine
Order offered the opportunity to begin again in landscape
design. I have never been happier, felt more aligned, or more
capable of creating an abundant business.
What is The
Business of The Business? It is a process based on Love
and includes simple, yet profound tools.
