The Collaboration Spiral for Soulpreneurs
For us soulpreneurs, connection is not just a strategy—it's part of our core values. Yet traditional “networking” can feel too transactional. How do we build genuine professional relationships that are full of heart, and also help our businesses thrive?
The Collaboration Spiral offers a framework for cultivating relationships that grow naturally in depth and reciprocity over time, all built on the foundational practice of Netcaring—authentic connection and caring for our network. This is not a …
Reparenting Yourself for Joyful Productivity

The Three Stages of a Soulpreneur Business: From Hobby to Legacy
It’s been 16 years of running my own business. I started in 2009, and gratefully reached a six figure annual income by 2011. It’s not like this for most soulpreneur businesses.
