What would be better than having the time and freedom to pursue your spiritual, personal development, and life goals, while at the same time being of deep service by sharing your wisdom and expertise with the world?

Nothing, if you ask me. In fact, now that I look at it, when I think about the goals I have for my business, that’s about as good as it could get. It satisfies my personal desires to have the time and financial means to pursue the kind of activities I want, and it feeds the deeper yearnings of my heart to give and share of myself generously in service.

The good news is, I’m right on track to that goal. For years now, I’ve been studying, learning, and growing my skills, while churning out workshops, articles, and products. Coupled with my background in spiritual study and personal development work, I feel a wonderful sense of having a foundation that’s being built upon to achieve what I’m wanting in life.

But enough about me; this is about you.

Can you say that you’re on track towards what you want?

Can you say that you even know what you want in the first place? Or how to get there?

(fyi: this post goes into the backstory of what this is all about… feel free to read it, or if you’re in a hurry, click here to jump to the end, and the big offer)

Not knowing what you want is not as far-fetched as you’d think…

In fact, I was just in a conversation not a few hours ago with some dear friends of mine, folks who are very much into Law of Attraction and conscious living, and when we talked about how just recently, in both of our lives, we weren’t really sure what we really wanted, it was amazing. To think that anyone, no matter where they are in life, wouldn’t have a clear goal, an unclouded sense of what matters most to them in life… it’s pretty laughable, when you think about it.

I know that for many years, what mattered most to me was my inner peace. I felt so much inner turmoil, low self-esteem, and lack of direction about what to do about it, I knew that if I didn’t go to work trying to heal myself, I’d explode.

I also relished in learning about intuition, and not just because of the “extrasensory power” it gave me, but because it helped me make sense of so many things in my life that just hadn’t made sense before. Intuition can fill in the blanks of your understanding better than just about anything, and the effects it has had on my life, in every area, has been no less than astounding.

But I also wanted to succeed in the more traditional sense of the word. And so when I started working for myself, and found that I had an insane boss with no business sense, or knowledge of how to really get things done (it’s true…), I knew something had to be done. So, I studied productivity systems up and down, left and right, inside and outside. And all that training paid off; I can get more done in a block of time that most people I know, and I don’t suffer the stress that so many of them complain of when they work this “hard”.

I promise; this is about you. I’m getting there right now…

I started Monk at Work one year ago, to overwhelming nods and handshakes of encouragement from the people I knew. Then I started blogging in April, and got the chance to meet some of the most fantastic people I’ve ever met through this wonderful medium. And people I didn’t even think would resonate with the idea of being a “Monk at Work” were coming out of the woodwork, saying how much they loved it, how much it inspired them, and how much they wanted to experience that peaceful ideal that it espoused.

But people are busy. You’re busy. And the time it takes to take part in workshops (the bulk of my business) can be hard to come by, especially the task of coordinating schedules.

So, I’m in the process of converting my workshops into Homestudy courses. And not just measly ebooks and mp3 files, either. Not even books. Something much better. Something wonderful.

And right now, starting today, I’m opening the doors for 100 people to take advantage of this shift, for about 10% of what it would cost otherwise. Seriously. And, I’m going to show you how to do it for your own business as well.

Because I shouldn’t be the only one having all the fun, right?
