When Everyone Else is Turning to You for Support, Who's There for You?
Dear ultra-smart, crazy-busy, super-achiever,
You’ve probably been giving yourself away forever and don’t know how to stop.
You’ve been driving hard in your career, and working hard to provide and be there to support the important people in your life.
And then this pandemic hits.
Everyone is still demanding your time, and you have all this uncertainty about your work and the future leaving you drained and foggy and worn out.
You can feel totally exhausted, but you have to keep going, and you try everything you can think of to keep you moving.
You’ve probably tried goal-setting and visioning and using the Law of Attraction, but if you’re like most people, you’ve had mixed or no results.
Maybe it worked for a bit, but then something happened and it seemed to go back to the way it was.
Again.
I’m guessing that you’ve probably tried the Wayne Dyer, Abraham Hicks, Tony Robbins, route.
And then maybe the Secret, Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle, Louise Hay, or A Course in Miracles, too.
How about Doreen Virtue, Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield?
I get it, and I’ve been there too.
It all makes sense to you that it should work, but somehow it’s not.
You’ve tried to make changes, and it can seem like change happens, but then it’s like you wind up right back where you started over and over again.
While it’s not as often as you want, you fit in a yoga class or a workout when you can, or sometimes get away for a weekend retreat, but you want your whole life to be like that weekend.
Sometimes you feel it’s just not possible.
And now you have all this uncertainty about your future hovering over you.
Please don’t feel it’s hopeless.
You see, your life, is incredibly complex – each part ties into so many others – it’s like a web.
If you apply those tools to what’s at the surface, you may feel like you get a breakthrough, but then you realize it was like peeling off another layer of the onion.
Or sometimes just like moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic.
My first career as a quantum physicist taught me how to dance with complexity. And there’s nothing more complex than you or me as human beings.
The secret to complexity is not to make it complicated, but rather to find the simple, almost magical pressure points where you can put in only a tiny effort – and everything changes.
It’s like trying to get through a massive safe door. You can put as much pressure as you want on the handle, but nothing happens until you find the pressure point – that combination or password that unlocks it all.
Then, like the door to the Chamber of Secrets in Harry Potter, the locking mechanism magically withdraws and collapses, and the door opens to reveal your secret treasure within.
I learned to sense those pressure points, almost intuitively, and I’ve learned how to help my clients do that as well.
What I’d like to show you is a different way to get to what you want – to find those pressure points that unlock the door to your Chamber of Secrets.
To create time for you and nourish you without the guilt.
If you’re still reading this, then I’m guessing that finding a way to create time for you without guilt and deepening (or finding) your connection to your passion is something you really want.
Here's one of those simple pressure points: This is a journey, not one thing you do.
You may go to a retreat or take a course and get some wonderful insights, but that's not going to change everything.
You've spent your whole life building the ways of thinking you have now - some help you and some hold you back.
It's going to take an ongoing commitment to defuse what's getting in the way.
If you really want to bring more heart and soul into all of your life, it's about investing in you.
It doesn't take a lot of time, but it's a regular investment in you.
That's why I've created The Edge.
I've brought over four decades of research and practice about the pressure points to live more mindfully and purpose-fully together to create an ongoing membership community.
You'll start by discovering where you are on the five-step path to SOULgineering Your Life.
That will show you what, specifically you need to work on instead of trying to do everything at once.
Then, each month, we'll have one specific area of focus - like Self-Care, or Guild, or Self-Sabotage.
You'll discover what you're already doing well and build on that.
I'll provide you with simple, specific actions you can take each month, based on where you on on the SOULgineering Your Life Path.
Then each month we're going to have an online Q&A Session with an incredible platform where I can help you with your challenges - and you can meet with and learn from other members of the community. This is a community of like-valued people on the journey of SOULgineering their lives.
You'll end each month by concretizing what you've learned and how you've progressed and celebrating your accomplishments. Celebration is SO important!
Join me at The Edge as we all move forward to SOULgineer our lives.

He learned how to navigate complexity in his first career as a quantum physicist, where he discovered that the secret to complexity is finding the simple leverage points that transform everything. This is the lens he uses in all of his work - finding those simple pressure points that let you produce the results you want incredibly easily.
