Small business legal meets Gurdjieff

From Abundance Unlimited - on Gurdjieff and current business shifts:

Some years ago, I read a book by G.I. Gurdjieff called, "Meetings with Remarkable Men." It was all about the way his whole worldview shifted by meeting a few intelligent people who were able to point the mystical way forward.

Networking is a bit like that. Exoteric when it concerns surface opportunities, esoteric when it comes to the handful of people who will change your life. They might be your clients, you might be theirs, or you might simply find a synergy that comes from a place of fullness and balance.

I like to feature remarkable people in this newsletter and include lessons of the week. This week it's about success and opportunity. When one door closes, another opens. 2009 is unfolding like this beautiful flower into leave-takings and heart-openings. Is that true for you? I am finding more and more doors opening, more awakenings.

Here's one remarkable person I met through the OCTANe/OCVG mixer in Laguna Beach: Aubrey Beck. Aubrey then was marketing a company developing wearable technology. Professionally, she lives at the cutting edge health, technology and spirituality, and has Public Relations and Marketing experience. She has a passion for writing and researching and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding possible synergies.

This week I'm incorporating my law practice and expanding it to a global market. Stay tuned for details.

Another development this week is that after months of poo-pooing Prepaid Legal, I've decided not only to sign up for it (even lawyers sometimes need lawyers) but also to join the business opportunity. I realized there are many people who need legal help, but may not be right for the services I offer, so this gives them another route. So far I'm impressed with the support structure on the team.

  1. I am a retired attorney and have been a Pre-Paid Legal Associate for 5 years. Have over 1,000 members and a large team. I have been impressed with the scope of basic legal services provided to the members and believe this is the model for the delivery of legal services to the masses for the future. Good decision.
