NEW MAY 11 - MAY 18, 2001
Love
In Business
by Linda Marks [Part
Two is about OfSpirit.com's Bob Olson and his "win-win"
philosophy]
When I was a little girl, I often heard
adults describing the world they worked in as tough, heartless and devoid
of love. Messages like "it's a dog-eat-dog world," "look
out for number one," "it's a cold, cruel world" abounded.
As I watched people go about their daily business, I saw them living the
reality of these messages. My heart was very sad. It all seemed like such
a waste. We spend too many of our living hours engaged in the business of
work for it to be so barren and soul-less. Many believe the only way to
make money, the only way to gain resources for our survival, is to conduct
oneself in such a narrow manner, as though in business there is no room
for love or the heart.
I have always been attracted to people and
stories that offer a different model. Business and love can coexist. In
fact, sometimes love is good business, and business without love cannot
grow. I am inspired by people who demonstrate that we can operate from a
win-win framework, that there is enough abundance in the world that we can
take care of ourselves as we take care of those around us too, and that by
bringing one's heart into business, wonderful things can happen that
enrich our lives as well as our pocketbooks.
At the heart of good business are good
relationships. People are not commodities to gather and dispose of without
care. People and relationships are the very fabric of business and the
creative energy that when harnessed, creates material success. I would
like to share two stories with you of inspiring people who demonstrate the
power of love in business. The first story is about the power of a
relationship in shaping the careers and lives of two men over time. The
second story is about a man, who after facing the darkest night of the
soul, brought his spirit into business in a way that is transforming the
lives of those he works with.

Favorite Quotations |
"Always continue the climb. It is possible for
you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are
and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves
to do it."
~ Oprah
Winfrey
"When you interact with
another, an illusion is part of this dynamic. This illusion allows
each soul to perceive what it needs to understands in order to
heal."
~
Gary Zukav
"A true community
consists of individuals—not
mere species members, not couples—respecting
each other's individuality and privacy, at the same time interacting
with each other mentally and emotionally—free
spirits in free relation to each other—and
cooperating with each other to achieve common ends."
~ Valerie
Solanos

Recommended Book |
"One of Gary Zukav's many gifts as a speaker and bestselling
writer is his ability to present complicated metaphysical and
spiritual themes in a way that is simultaneously down-to-earth and
spine-tingling. How does he do it? Through story--the oldest and
most powerful form of teaching the mind and touching the heart. As a
frequent guest on Oprah, Zukav has also discovered that the
American public is starved for grounded information on ethereal
topics such as intuition, soulful relationships, and nonhuman
teachers.
Soul Stories is a collection
of true tales that speak to themes such as
"Reincarnation," "A Higher Form of Reasoning,"
"Psychic Archaeology," "The New Female," and
"Universal Humans." Some stories come from Zukav's
personal experience, like his sister's auto accident and his mother
instantly knowing that her daughter was hurt even though they were
100 miles apart. It is tempting to view these 52 tales of fate,
coincidence, and sixth sense with an air of doubt. "You have to
decide," Zukav warns. "That means thinking about it and,
even more important, discovering what you feel about it. Eventually,
you might find that what you feel about a Soul Story is more
important to you than what you think about it." No matter what
you feel about the individual tales, you will leave this book
trusting that the best way to understand the meaning and mysteries
of life is through story. --Gail Hudson" |

A
Rare Opportunity For Holistic
Practitioners & Business Owners |
|
|
|
OfSpirit.com
founder & editor, Bob Olson,
is dedicated to helping practitioners succeed. |
Can
you imagine if you placed an ad on the most frequently viewed pages
of AOL.com, Women.com or Oxygen.com when they were still affordable?
Better yet, what if you could have kept that top ad placement for as
long as you continued to renew your ad? Wow, where would your
business be today?
OSpirit.com's
new advertising packages are now available, and there’s a reason
we've had a waiting list of holistic business owners eager to pay
for them—even when they can advertise for free on the same
website. It all has to do with that old adage for the key to
success, “Location, Location, Location”. Our new ad packages
offer the absolute best locations for exposure on this website.
OfSpirit.com
hasn't attracted cooperative win-win relationships with Time Warner
Bookmark, Spirit of Change Magazine and thousands of holistic
practitioners and business owners because we're cute. The world is
obviously ready for OfSpirit.com's business philosophy of
cooperation and win-win relationships.
In
less than a year, we've grown from startup Internet company to a
leading holistic magazine on the Internet with more articles than
you could read in a year and thousands of visitors returning each
and every week to see what's new. It's not surprising that three
Internet forecasting experts have already predicted that
OfSpirit.com's growth is about to explode to even greater
dimensions.
Find
out why holistic, spiritual and new age practitioners are so excited
about advertising on this website, and how easy and affordable we
have made it for you.
