Topic : Blissful Business by Design    Lauren Messmer    Co-owner of MeetGeraldine - a brand &amp; web strategy company, and co-host of the entrepreneurship YouTube talk show: "Doin the Damn Thing" A business coach that understands the spiritual side of running a business!      Q:  What was your entrepreneurial journey?    A:  Being an entrepreneur was probably In me from birth       -     Lemonade stand when I was 6  Babysitters club when I was in Junior High Voted most likely to be a used car salesman Both of my parents ran a business out of my home  I couldn’t see myself taking over my Dad’s business, so I did a degree, but was still unsure of my path  I went to beauty school, wrote my first business plan  I was an assistant to a woman who taught me a lot about business and introduced me to the Law of Attraction After all of that, I decided to go to business school to help my Dad Seeing how my parents ran their business gave me an example, getting an MBA taught me structures &amp; strategy  I had a promotion company for a Hip Hop CD, and a health &amp; wellness business I Teach How to Start a Business at a local University in the Bay Area (California) I’ve had a lot of experience with what works and what doesn’t work     Q:  To anyone listening, let us know if you’re an entrepreneur    Q:  What was your process in creating this Blissful Business?    A:  -     I loved the word “Bliss”  For people listening, think for a moment about “What is Bliss” or what is a recent moment when you felt bliss?     Eg.  Connection to other people and to yourself, connection to nature, water + trees    Channel your higher self, connect to bliss  I noticed in South America and other countries people really take time to connect to each other     Some things about being an entrepreneur really appeal to me:  Being my own boss  Being in control of my own money     The phrase “If you own a business, it really owns you”  I was like, “Why?”     So we declared that this is not what we’re interested in.  My business partner and I set the intention that we both wanted 3 months/year off.    We started to create a team that could support us and our desire to be able to take time off.  There wasn’t any step or system that only one person knew how to do, so we could share the work.    We set up the systems so we can have the same philosophy with our team, and allow them to take time off as well.      Q:  What other ingredients have you injected to create this “Blissful Business” feel?    A:  Declaring it.  Tell other people, tell your teammates.  Make it happen    Communication:  Between my partner and I, and with our team   We schedule meetings while we are away on our trips, do a check in call every other week.  Clear systems of finding documents, clear calendar and schedule.     Commitment.  Commitment to unplug, step away, and allow yourself to be absent.   Honour your promise to yourself to take a break     Q:  *It’s hard as an entrepreneur.  When you have an identity that is attached to your work.  When you take time off, is there a part of you that wants to work, or feels drawn back to work?    A:  No. It may be from watching my Dad work while we were on vacation when I was a kid.  I love my personal time and nurturing the other sides of myself. It’s all about balance.    Asking:  “Do you really want work to be everything for you?”    Q:   Can you share about the article that you wrote for Clouds &amp; Dirt?  How you incorporate “Woo Woo” and spiritual aspects into your business?   A:   We’ve incorporated a lot of spirituality into our business over the years.  We had someone come and bless our office.     We have a money corner that we use to attract money.  We do a money dance whenever we get a cheque.      Affirmations are key.  We write pages of affirmations every day.  It’s reinforcement of how to keep yourself going     We also talk about it if we’re feeling down.     We have money spray, money candle.  We use sage to clear the energy and re-set for abundance the next day.       Meghan: *Link to the article in the show notes*     Q:  It’s so great to work with someone who understands the business landscape but also works with spiritual laws and universal laws as well.    A:  A lot of successful people have used these laws, they just haven’t necessarily labelled them as spiritual.    Q:  What is your process?  If you’re working with a client, how do you help them create a blissful business?    A:  First &amp; Foremost:  Getting really clear on what you want  What is your perfect dream day?  It can be a hard thing to answer.. What do YOU want? Allow yourself to dream… create some context.     Once you have an idea of how you want your business to support your life:    What is your brand?  How is your brand going to attract the right people to support your business and your dream life?    Ask:  “If your business was a person, what would they be like?”  Embody what your brand is.    This separates you from your business  Allows you to make decisions based on what your business is portraying  Get more clear on decisions about marketing, language, etc Get clear on who your target audience is  You get to choose how your business is going to be structured    Talk about systems.   Think about how you can build support and create your team Create systems that are documented, well thought out, so you have references to teach others    Implementation    It’s 4 steps, but it takes a lot of thoughtfulness.  It will take some intention over a period of time.     Q:  How can people work with you?    A:  Entrepreneurship coaching    I can work online  Sessions 1 - 1.5 hours  Launching a program… to take people through a process to build their dream life     *Sept 17th - 6 week program:  Includes 4 group sessions online for 1.5 hours  Go through each step of the process  Plus two one-on-one coaching sessions $550 https://bit.ly/Urdreambiz     *Common Genius  Book one-on-one sessions for any amount of time (eg 15 min - 2 hours)  https://commongenius.com/    Watch any of the YouTube episodes  Talk about entrepreneurship https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC177RGY914sMRscSLaNKkiQ    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_real_laurenmessmer/   Clouds + Dirt Article:  https://cloudsanddirt.co/spirituality-and-business/    If people are looking to create a vision, get clear, it sounds like your 6 week program is a great option.    If you want a conversation or consultation, “Common Genius” is a great resource.
