Steve Kidd’s Post

Here it is. My chapter on Mental Health was finally published in this fantastic, concise book, "Winning with Love," under the title "Corporate Battles, Personal Victories: Healing Through Love and Self-Care." Steve Kidd's post below provides more background. This anthology celebrates the power of love as a unifying force, even amidst division and conflict. Love is depicted not only as a feeling but as a strategic tool that can transform challenges into opportunities for growth. The discussions highlight that true success isn’t about perfection but about leading with love, embracing our flaws, and leveraging love to overcome obstacles. This approach fosters resilience, connection, and a more profound sense of fulfillment, establishing love as the foundational element of success and societal advancement. My take on this was more nuanced. In my chapter, I wrote at a deeply personal level about mental health and how love and compassion matter. In discussing "winning with love," I view love as a powerful weapon, one I chose deliberately to navigate mental health challenges and aid in recovery processes. Often underestimated, love's transformative power becomes incredibly potent in today's socially divisive and online conflict-ridden environment. Through personal experiences, I've seen how love, whether gentle or harsh, fosters compassion and support. My mother's tough love, for instance, guided and shaped my current successes, profoundly impacting my approach to work and life. This foundational love can bridge divides when I initiate any conversation or interaction. Love is not just a feeling but a strategic choice that drives inclusion and understanding, making it the most effective tool in my arsenal.

Love, Inspiration, Joy and Divine - these four words summed up my week. It is these four words that sum up why I do what I do. And yes, some may think - what a WUSS. What type of business person posts like this? And to them I say, I don't care, and to those that think, okay I am curious, here is my explanation of each word, at least to me. I have included the Oxford language explanation for each one to try to be as clear as I can. LOVE (a great interest and pleasure in something) - exactly how I feel about In-Tec Commercial Cleaning and the team I work for. Yes, I work for my team, they do not work for me. They constantly give me great pleasure every day, seeing how they work together. They are just there for each other - no matter what. INSPIRATION (the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative) - I am inspired every day to do what I do, to lead a team to deliver the best cleaning service we can, day in and day out. And to be mentally stimulated by them asking for guidance is what I am here for - to serve them. JOY (a feeling of great pleasure and happiness) - I get great joy from being able to provide for our many team members, both financially and in helping them grow, either in learning new techniques or personal growth. The joy I see when they tell me what it means to them to be paid well, treated well and given all the support they need, is why I do what I do. Yes, my team, my employees, are why I do what I do. DIVINE (very pleasing; delightful) - I take great pleasure and delight in seeing, day in and day out, the outcome of the teams effort. From talking to our clients and hearing comments like "Erin is just there to support us, we just need to ask Kaitlynn something and it gets taken care of, it's great to hear Gabrielle is back or we never see or hear your cleaner but the site is just clean - it's sort of like magic just happens", to be honest fills me with a sense of pride and just pleases me to no end. To be honest this is what I think is what a true entrepreneur should be - delivering the best they can but making sure no-one gets left behind. And before I close off this post, I did not write or think of the saying's in the image. These were in a very powerful newsletter sent to me by a, what I will call a friend - Liz Moorehead. Thank you Liz - you inspire me every time I talk to you

🌟 When thinking of what to post this morning, I came upon this quote I wrote a decade ago, with my previous well-being blog A Bridge To You! If you are interested in some uplifting writing, you may like to go there, as it houses hundreds of blogs I wrote over a two year period. [www.abridgetoyou.com.au ] 🌟 It was at a time, when despite the outward appearances of a very successful and busy life, with my other business Tapatak Oz, I was full of sadness, anxiety, and self doubt. In retrospect, I wrote the blog to keep myself afloat and it was actually A Bridge To Me! 🌟 So, this quote really touched me this morning, as I can see how true it is. We have to actively choose what we want in our lives, and take small steps each day to make its our reality. People can send you balloons, jump around like a clown in from of you, make recommendations, and bring you yummy cream cakes...but unless you choose to be happy, or make the changes you seek, what you want can not find you and become your reality. 🌟 Every small action, word, deed, activity, and person you add to your lived experience contributes to your sense of well-being or distress. So it is paramount to your happiness, that you cultivate the people, habits, experiences, community groups, and mindset that will bring you the life you want. A life that will lift you up and champion your own personal values and what is important to you. 🌟 I can happily say, that I am getting better at doing all these things now, at the grand old age of fifty-four! 🌟 It can be a challenge. And it can be a struggle at times. But it is worth it. I look at how far I have come in my own life. The different things I have done in the past few years. The amazing people I have added to my friendship and business circles. The incredible people I have met here on Linked In, with whom I truly resonate, and value their thoughts. 🌟 Find your people! Live from your heart! Be the life you envisage! Because, at the end of the day, you are the creator of your life. You are the artist, with the paint brush, poised to paint your canvas. And you are the star in your own movie! #life #living #creation #joy #theJME #thejoymakerexperience

Thriving business & love life?  I used to think it was impossible. This belief held me back. So, what did I do? I tackled this belief head-on. With my life & business partner Sandra by my side, we worked on it together. We used coaching, affirmations, journaling, and visualization techniques. I created short mental movies of us holding hands, having money, doing business together. 🎥💑💰 The aim?  To reprogram my mind To replace the old belief with a more empowering one And guess what?  It worked! Now, I'm in a loving relationship & running a successful business  And you know what?  You can do it too 🎯 Don't let limiting beliefs hold you back  Challenge them Replace them 🏆 Your mind is powerful. Use it to your advantage! 💪🧠 Ready to tackle YOUR limiting beliefs?  Let's chat about how we can help!  DM me for more info.

They said healing was a hobby not a career…. I quit corporate & made it a business. Then they said doing business, personal development & relationships would confuse people… I chose to trust in my intuition & the power of my community. The ones who want it all! They said I could not have time freedom & success…. I’ve already doubled the profit I made last year & we’re only half way through 2024. They said I can’t be spiritual if I care about the money… I am. They said I can’t have time freedom & be successful… I do & spend a quarter of the year on holiday. They said you that you need your guard up in business… I don’t, I lead with an open heart. They said that you have to listen to the experts… I listen to myself & what feels aligned. They said that marriage & love is hard… my relationship feels like the stuff of miracle manifestations. This wasn’t always my reality. It’s come from my commitment to do the work on repeat. It’s come from consistently showing up for my vision. It’s come from me doing the actions that move the needle. On repeat. It’s happened because I chose to create success on my terms, with how I desire to do life. I’ll be teaching the energetics & breaking down my strategy at my upcoming masterclass, FLOW.

#DON'T CHASE BUTTERFLIES 🦋 A young lad asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, I want to be a star, I want to be in movies. When I grow up, I want to see the world, drive nice cars, and live in a house made of glass. Yes, I really want to be successful and great. So tell me, how do I chase all my goals, and catch them faster?" The grandfather stopped for a moment, turned around, and then spotted a huge and super beautiful butterfly dancing on a flower. At once, he said, "Oh, my God! What a magnificent butterfly! Now, hurry... hurry and chase after it! Make sure you catch it! Don't let it fly away! Move!" The young lad hurriedly ran to the butterfly, but as he tried to take hold of it, the butterfly suddenly flew up into the wind. He ran after it, trying to catch it, but it was flying so fast. He ran around and around the garden until he got tired, and then he could no longer see the butterfly. Panting with loss of breath, he returned to his grandfather, wheezing, "I couldn't catch it, grandpa! It flew away!" The grandfather smiled for a moment, then held the young lad by his hand and took him to a corner. He waited until he calmed down, then he whispered into his ear, "Listen, boy, if you spend your time chasing butterflies, they'll fly away. But if you spend your time creating a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. You see... that butterfly is like your goals in life. In our journey of success, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of immediate goals, the fleeting butterflies of life. However, the real magic happens when we focus on building something substantial, akin to cultivating a vibrant garden. Instead of relentlessly chasing, channel your energy into creating and nurturing. Build something meaningful, whether it's a project, a skill, or a relationship. The beauty you will cultivate will attract opportunities, experience, and success naturally. So don't chase love, money, or success. Become the best version of yourself and those things will come to you."

Much love & respect for the peeps who joined this mornings first online business shadow work offering 🙏🏻 It takes courage to begin the great unraveling, to tend to our unhealed parts with tenderness and patience. and it REALLY is important that we take our time with any shadow work to hold ourselves in a space of compassion and understanding. Healing is not something to be rushed and ticked off the to do list if it is going to have lasting effects. Having a business can be a journey that lasts many decades and through that time we will face many ups and downs. Some of what we experience will be caused by external forces and some will be as the result of our internal state and there will be a good mix of both too! In the first instance of approaching this work, please always give yourself the grace of being human and remember that you are always doing your best. We often give ourselves the hardest time for not doing enough or being enough and believing that we should have achieved everything yesterday. Much of this is the result I believe of cultural & capitalist conditioning (here in the West at least) and has festered like an industrial collective wound that we have all come to carry. We will begin to look at tending these kinds of wounds next week. It’s not too late to join us. The replay from this morning is available. We spoke of the fear of failure and of not feeling worthy / good enough and how these can result in procrastination, comparing ourselves to others and an inability to maintain clear, strong boundaries. In our next session we will be expanding into the collective shadows that we may have internalised and can be overlooked because they are so familiar and so normalised by society that maybe we don’t see them as a possible cause of our problem. Intrigued? A little apprehensive? Totally understandable. Thats why these sessions are a dip your toe in kind of thing. I also chose to host them online so you could be in your own safe space and there is no requirement for you to actively participate/ share in the live. If you’re feeling it then DM and I will send you the details Bodhini ♥️

Have we ever built a mystery before? Reflecting on my journey, I've often heard that I embody a sense of mystery. Initially, this puzzled me—I've always been an open book, sharing my life's chapters with those who inquire. Yet, perhaps, the mystery lies not in secrecy but in the depth of transformation. Growing up, I felt like a Wild Llama amidst a herd of sheep—distinctly different, embracing my unique path. Oddly many of my clients share a similar feeling. This was later verified in my Birth Chart, a cosmic nod to my inherent nature. 😂 But what makes one mysterious? It's not about harboring secrets—I'm admittedly quite open. It's about embodying peace, maintaining a calm demeanor, and living authentically: 🚫 I steer clear of drama. 🧘🏽♀️ I've embraced calmness. 🙊 I listen more than I speak. 👖 I revel in comfort, inside and out. 🧠 I choose not to react impulsively. 🤸🏽♀️ I'm dedicated to enjoying life fully. 👀 I connect deeply, looking people in the eyes. 📦 My life transcends conventional boundaries. ✨ My presence is relaxed, a reflection of inner peace. This transformation stems from finding inner peace and transcending mere survival. Being present, truly listening, and engaging with life and the people around me—is my essence. I invite you to explore the mystery within yourself. It's a journey of transformation, of finding your unique path and peace. If you're curious about embarking on this journey, I'm here to guide you. Cheers & Glitter! ✨ Romita - Business Shaman #BusinessCoach #SpiritualCoach #BusinessShaman Glitter For The Soul® 

Loves,  I am feeling such deep gratitude.   Boarding the plane that will take me to see family before a fated visit to Hawaii 🥲    Every significant trip is like a bookend between chapters... between versions of Self... between timelines.   This is both ending & beginning.   My Soul has been waiting for this journey, and I have been fully surrendered to this flow... in full trust, openness & amazement.   Business class is also one of my favourite places to work.   For the rest of this month, I will have three calls on my calendar. Completely freeing up my energy, mental & psychic space to receive the insights and inspirations for the next evolution of this journey.   Several of you have been waiting for the details of my highest proximity mastermind coming in September... and it's already unlike ANYTHING I've offered before.   I will be dropping in fully to this creation while in business class, coding spaciousness & high service into the offering.   Can't wait to reveal the name and branding to y'all 👀   Business is changing and will always continue to change, just like us.   Many have become discouraged because they were attached to business working in a specific way. Attached to a certain way of doing things, creating certain results.   Those who will stand the test of time and keep thriving throughout the ebbs & flow, are those committed to evolution.   Those learning & deepening thru every challenge.   Those who see business as a mirror for their own self actualization.   Those who accept change as the only constant, and know the only guarantee in life is death ;)   Those who embrace the challenges... maybe even get a lil excited lol ❤️🔥💋 as we don't grow in our comfort zone.   Those in it for the magic, The devotion, The adventure of it not simply to "get" but to Become.   And as we self-actualize and become the person we are here to be, the impact of our legacy grows that much stronger,   and that much more powerful.   🏛️🕊️ If you resonate with these words,   If you are committed to your highest path,   And desire to be a part of a devotional business space for mystics, artists and priestesses,   Leading with Truth, Heart, Soul, Frequency, complemented with real grounded precision and practical strategy to make your dreams come true…   You are invited to explore The Temple   So much love, -Ayesha
