Is the new collective dream to work for ourselves and not really be working at all? 

Lucky for us, starting a business doesn’t have to be a pipe dream. It’s easier than you think. 

You don’t need a business plan to start your business. It can be as simply as choosing to show up differently within the world around you. 

Listen to the episode (or read the transcript) to find out how.

Kening Zhu is an artist, entrepreneur, designer, writer, philosopher and builder of digital ecosystems (and so much more). She is the artist behind www.thecorppsychic.com and my personal website, www.mariegroover.com.

Her philosophies on life as an artist-entrepreneur are profound, as are her philosophies are work, business and magnetizing our dream clients.

This episode explores Kening's grounding down into business and dismantling everything that she once knew to be true about art. It's a beautiful show, and I'm so honored to offer it to the world.

This episode is about empathy.

Empathy is mastering the knowing of what is yours and what is someone else’s and skillfully responding emotionally and intellectually based on the circumstance and the human in front of you. 

Empathy is trainable – it’s not a muscle or a brain type that some people have and others don’t.

Empathy is worthwhile to take the time to develop in ourselves, our schools, businesses organizations and political groups.

Embodiment is the path to training empathy fully. We cannot intellectualize or storytell around empathy to get it right. Getting it (or understanding empathy) is not enough. 

In this episode, Marie demonstrates that fully understanding how others feel and where they are coming from is not empathy (only one part of empathy). Without total empathy, we manipulate, rather than move.

Marie shares her story from scoring 0/10 on the empathy scale, to scoring a 10/10. Listen to learn more about how you can develop empathy in yourself or your team and organization.

In this 4 month update of being in business without social media, Marie shares some key insights about the pace of business, nature and the world. It's not about how fast we move, but rather how often we are willing to show up. It's about how many times we come back to our work and it's about the little things that compound into the momentum that carries us through. This episode unlocks the secret to ease and 'overnight success' through the little actions that compound into big results. To be clear, there is no such thing as overnight success. Yet much of what occupies our time and our energy are these ideas and fantasies about what is possible for us -- are they even real and do we even want them?

Can our nervous system handle the pace at which we context switch and create?

What happens when you take your business off social media?

There are people in the world who get you, who are just like you. And if you can find those people who appreciate you (because they are you), who are a little bit ahead of you (in terms of where you are setting out to go), you can cultivate some really potent conditions for your personal growth and development. And when you are a visionary (you are), this is crucial and key to bringing your visions to life.

The beliefs we hold inform the quality of our lived experience. With this in mind, this episode invites you to investigate one of the most insidious beliefs that many of us hold -- the belief that you have to be good and that some condition [insert success, wealth, happiness, joy, good things, good results, etc.] will be fulfilled.

You do not have to work so hard to be good, to have a good life. If this seems counterintuitive, or even challenging, then this episode is for you.

In it we also discuss the key to to re-write limiting beliefs (for good), and ultimately the secret to lasting transformation.

If it resonates, don't forget to rate the show & share this episode with one human who you love.
