🎵 A Chill Afternoon Near the Mekong - read full post Hi Reader, I laugh at the amount of time I've spent trying to tap into the corporate market with my Face Reading.

Red tape irritates me.Corporate...

You may recall a few newsletters back where I shared I'm a 3/5 Human Design.My experience with this Hawaiian guy (from the last newsletter) is such a clear and great example of my 3/5 Human Design in action. I dive into the fire, experience what's going on, and then come out the other side with a clear knowing of what doesn't work. Knowing everything, doesn't work. For me. All is now...

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Saving My Own Soul. Hi Reader, I’ve built businesses before, and I’ve made my fair share of mistakes. But this time I refuse to screw things up with the Bali Retreat Broker. I finally took the leap and hired a full-time assistant over the weekend (!!).
