Momentous occasion!!

The new and improved Natural Professional website is up!

I am soooo happy. And for more reasons than it 1) looks Super Duper, and 2) makes me smile ear to ear.

Namely, investing in this site represents my recent 100% commitment to the Natural Professional (NP), which is no small thing, I assure you.

Looking to the Project Simplify archives, the first article about the NP was back in July 2008. Three and a half years ago??!?!

Wow, it’s taken that long to fully embrace this concept? Considering that I’ve known this is my destiny, that almost hurts… but hey, timing is what it is and who am I to question the mysterious ways of the Universe?

Let’s just get back to partying with excessive exclamation points and effusive gratitude, eh? =)

A big shout out of Thank You!! to Lisa Wood of Sprout New Media for the fresh design and amazingly speedy turn-around. This woman knows how to make it happen.

In addition to the About page for what this site is all about, check out Continuing the Journey for the big vision leading the charge.

I hope you love the new site and infusion of energy into the Natural Professional. We are going to be making serious waves in unexpected ways!

Are you ready for an entrepreneurial revolution that’s fueled by you expressing your beautifully authentic self?

No more playing small. No more Should Gremlins cramping your style. No more waiting for your time to come–it’s here.

In other words…

Are you ready for the era of the Natural Professional?

If you want to:

• realize crazy amazing success in more dimensions than you ever thought possible,
• streamline your efforts to kick butt in the world and stay in a delicious space, and
• be a part of creating a new work ethic

…then you’ll be ready for the big change that’s coming up.

Big, BIG NEWS

New year, new direction: I’m closing the chapter that has been Project Simplify and will be devoting my efforts to developing the Natural Professional.

This may come as a big surprise (unless, of course, you read the most recent newsletter!), but it makes perfect sense. Check it out:

For a few years now, I’ve been flirting with the Natural Professional concept. In my heart, I’ve known that bringing it to the world is where my destiny’s been leading. The question that eluded me was how.

With Project Simplify, we’ve been focusing on simplifying as a means to focus on what’s important to you. This has been good, and it’s time to go great!

Based on the premise that “the era of struggle is over,” the Natural Professional takes simplifying to a whole new plane by asserting that not only can you make your work flow smoothly and easily, you are a vital player in the entrepreneurial revolution. 

I know I’m almost sounding political here, but we’re not talking about occupying Wall Street, we’re talking about “occupying” your right to create a happy existence based on sane, healthful priorities.

Supporting you and your business for this means cultivating tools to:

• make confident, solid decisions quickly;
• be productive with constantly shifting priorities;
• be a positive change agent, sustainably;
• navigate stormy times with ease; and
• uncover and share more of your gifts through business.

Here is the Natural Professional mini-manifesto…

We, the Natural Professionals, are bringing human values back into the equation of our success. Work is easier because we are flowing rather than pushing and we act in line with our values. 

We have greater economy of effort because we use intuition for guidance. We gain greater satisfaction because we’re making decisions based on respect for the whole.

How are we going to do this?

Being in this unprecedented time in history, we are in the perfect position to create a new way of working. 

We’ve rejected corporate values in favor of an entrepreneurial lifestyle, now it’s time to reject the habits and stress that seemed inherent in the corporate world.

The Natural Professional as a business is dedicated to supporting you in developing a personal navigation system that, no matter what situation you find yourself in:

• supports you in sharing your True Genius with the world,
• recognizes and short-circuits self-sabotage, and
• helps you confidently make the best decisions for your long-term health and success.

You’ll get access to the three-part Natural Professional Program:

• Mastering Your 21st Century Workflow organizational system in step-by-step video format for *free*.
• Cultivating Your Flame ‘shops and e-courses to reconnect and solidify your purpose and passion.
• Bathing in Bliss ‘shops and e-courses to realize and revel in your full potential.

If you’ve dug Project Simplify, you’ll love the new direction of the Natural Professional.

We will change history, my friend. (Especially yours!)

Declare your intention to boogie down on the Natural Professional journey by signing up for Natural Professional updates in the form above or by clicking here.

Then grab your groovy garb and get ready to roll!

For many people, this was quite an uncomfortable process because we were pushed to declare what was important to us–how else can you know what to keep and what to let go of?

Those who took seriously the urge to slim down on the irrelevant and minimize distractions, this final push in 2011 to “let go” of anything that didn’t serve them came easier. Those who resisted and instead insisted on bumbled forward without discretion had a much harder time of it.

Personally, my year was, well, kind of chunky. It didn’t feel all that fluid, truth be known. However, once I ‘fessed up to myself why that was in December, you might say the water started a-flowin’ with a passion!

You’ll remember that I reported in the last newsletter that I was about to begin working with a coach. . .

All I can say is, “Oh My.” Well, I have a little more to say, like, “Wow.”

There are a few changes afoot that you should know about because they affect you directly!

After an impressive run of six + years, Project Simplify and the Simplifier newsletter are, as I write this, in their final days. In fact, this is the last issue of this fine publication. Zoinks!

Logical next question: Is this IT?? Am I done with my work?

Logical next answer: Hell No!!! (Pardon my french.)

Watch your email inbox tomorrow for the unrolling of the next phase… (Which, if you’ve been reading for a while, isn’t all that surprising. Hint: 2 words. The first starts with a N and the second with a P, Yeehaw!!)

Which means that this is an adieu to the completion of a phase of my life that has been so incredibly rewarding and so amazingly affirming.

Even more importantly, it’s a perfect opportunity to say, Thank You! You are the reason for exploring new ways to simplify and discover easier ways of working. I am so grateful for your interest in this work and these ideas–I hope to continue the journey with you for a long time.

I also want to thank the ever-versatile Lance Brown, who has been a columnist for this newsletter, and had a presence in The Simplifier from the beginning. In fact, if it weren’t for him prodding me toward the first newsletter all those years ago, I may have been too chicken-s#*t to ever get it going. From idea-man, to coder, to editor, to columnist, his digital fingerprints are on just about every part of the Project Simplify website and newsletter.

So it’s with a twinge of nostalgia and a lightening bolt of excitement that I’ll wrap up this note to you.

Well, almost. How about one more thing to touch back to what I wrote above about the energy flowing once I ‘fessed up.

There have been a ton of posts and newsletters flying around talking about goals, goal setting, and the one I prefer, a word (or three) for the upcoming year.

However you decide to set the tone and intention for the year, my encouragement to you is to do it honestly. And the person to be most truly, deeply and radically honest with is yourself.

Listen to the little hints and messages your spirit is sharing with you. Denying them the attention they deserve is a sure source of chunkiness, a fact I did my best to deny for a good part of the year.

Listen, trust, fly! Booya!!
