There are five stages, each designed to focus your attention and your actions on specific tasks. Each stage should flow into the next and there will be some over-lap. How clear-cut you want to make each stage is best tailored to how you or your organisation operates. Think of the path as the wheel you turn to drive your business, your career.

Discover

Discovery is understanding. Investigation leads to appreciation.  Learning brings Joy. Discovery and understanding brings you closer to matching speeds with the world around you.  Research.

Embrace

To embrace is to engage. Find your audience, potential clients and allies. Communicate, share, listen and learn. The passions can lead to enlightenment. Achieving a pleasurable connection to the world is to achieve Relative Calm.  Embrace all. 

​

Contemplate

Think. Take time. Meditate. Are you okay? Is your work, your business okay? Your staff? Your audience and allies?

Create

Go! This is the best bit ever! Paint, write, compose, employ, open, launch, entertain, compete, teach.

Go, go, go!

Evolve

What worked? What went wrong? Are you having fun? What would you like to do again?

Adapt. Improve. Evolve.
