Evolution Is Not Only Possible - It's Yours for the Asking

  • You know it's time, and you're committed to change - but to what?
  • Business is not what it should be - it's moving, but not forward. What happened to that clear vision?
  • You have tremendous value to contribute - to your work and community - and it's just not getting through.

If you mentally checked off any of these, if this sounds even remotely like what you say to yourself before you go to sleep at night...then the Purposeful Business Circle is for you. Learn how to expand your work purpose - in your own terms and in your own mind and heart. Match your actions with your intentions with confidence and a new-found sense of accomplishment and contentment.

If you want to do more 'good' in the world, then make plans to experience a New Business Group that focuses on expanding both yourself and your business.

Purposeful Business Circles (PBCs)

This one-year investment consists of 12 monthly sessions that focus on dynamic growth for yourself and your business. PBCs are for small business owners and entrepreneurs who are serious about bringing their work to a larger customer base and willing to do the hard inner work necessary to perform at their own personal and professional best.

The PBCs operate from universal principles of:

  • Your success is my success - we are here for ourselves and each other.
  • We are so much more than we think we are - we challenge limited assumptions that keep us small.
  • We all have a purpose that can be matched to the marketplace to create work that meets a deeper human need and provides a handsome return.

In every session we work from three levels matched to your key pre-determined objectives:

  1. The individual - with a focus on evolving you to a higher level of potential, purpose, and productive.
  2. The business - with a focus on your business making a greater difference, touching and enhancing the lives of more people/businesses, and being nicely rewarded - feeding the pocketbook & soul.
  3. The mental model of work - with a focus developing your work model so it serves you as it serves many others.


Purposeful Business Circles include:

  • Bimonthly, one-day sessions meeting from 9am - 3pm.
  • GuideWork / Coaching sessions on alternate months.
  • An upfront questionnaire to determine your objectives gets you started.
  • A Manual/Workbook with exercises to move your forward.
  • Action Steps /Challenges to both keep you accountable and advance your business.
  • Partners selected to gain and give support between sessions.
  • Midway evaluation to determine progress and additional needs as well as a final evaluation to reflect on growth and determine your next steps.

It will be shaped by what we choose to do to heal the underlying distress, dissatisfaction and outright dis-ease of our lives and of our times.... The challenge is one of coming to our senses."

Peter Block, who wrote "The Answer to How is Yes," reviewed our book outline and stated:

"There is some small but powerful thing you understand about life that we need to understand. Your ideas are useful and life-changing...one phrase that caught my eye was "we have it all backwards"...Your enthusiasm to share and your desire to change the direction the world is heading are noble."
