The last weeks reflection

We all are looking for opportunities to enhance our life-experience. To make it more comfortable, more easy and more rich in many aspects.

It is funny that we suddenly find ourselves in a situation which feels and is more worse than the "normal" life we had before.

This takes us then often a long time to accept and when we reflect our actions we realize that we are serving two masters. but to serve two masters the same time doesen't work.

We find ourselfs, like in Goldoni's masterpiece of stage art, in a comedy full of entanglements.

To be clever is not enough

I thought, after my failor with the fashion business, that I make it very clever. I followed the kick of my heart and started to create a concept that allows me to transport my knowledge and coachings through an online solution.

Before I realized what happens I was serving two masters!

1. My very well visited practice for counselling, supervision and coaching
2. The online presence to give training and coachings

Because it is the same content it doesn't mean it is only one master. This I had to face the last months.

To build an online business is like building a new company, even the service and content is the same like you have in your existing company.

How much more then if you have two completely different services and contents?

I am sure you can serve your two masters for a short while but you have to decide from a certain point on, which master you serve. Or how you balance the focus between them that one is the master and the other one your friend.

If you wait too long then one of both masters will disappear. And this happens because you will automatically take off your focus from the one master to serve the other one...

I wish you a good decision on your way to abundance!

Love, Martin
