This year, we repositioned, said a bunch of universally correct things about the state of our industry, and served our clients with as much grace & aplomb as we could muster. Now it is time to resume our most sacred practice: intermission.
We annually close the public-facing parts of our business for a brief period in order to perform deep work. Posts are usually extant, although sporadic & not guaranteed. Private lessons & calls will continue for members, of course.
Intermission is structurally necessary. By generously & openly saying “no” to the outside world, we protect our field & create the spaciousness that we need to work on the business – which in turn helps us serve you better. In previous intermissions, we came up with our flagship consulting service, rewrote our first book, finished our third book, wrote our fourth book, and planned our successful repositioning, among many other activities.
Intermission is especially necessary right now. We have found the current moment to favor those who are laying low, keeping their heads down, doing the work to protect their close people. One must focus. Acting beats yelling.
Intermission will conclude on February 23. New clients will be onboarded in March. Until then, take care of yourselves & each other, always.
