Holistic Business, People & Money-They *Can* Mix

In my last post, I almost unwittingly brought up the stereotype of the holistic service provider who struggles with money. Having done so, it seems only right to point towards alternative solutions (though please bear in mind I’m no expert myself, and still very much learning in this particular area).

The key fear of many holistic people is that they’ll somehow become, ” a bad person” if they have any surplus. (That was certainly my own experience).

Now, we could spend ages going into why this might be, and explanations range from beliefs about those who already have money, to past-life vows of poverty. None of which will necessarily help you to change things right now.

One action which can help things to change is to network with others who, though holistic, have a different view.

Some years ago now, I became involved here in London with a “bricks and mortar” meeting group designed for the express purpose of helping holistic businesses to network and thrive. Time commitments and other matters dragged me away, but I remember being impressed that someone was successfully managing to juxtapose the words “holistic”, and “business”.

Now, time has moved on, and that same organisation is moving onto the internet. Apparently, it’s also free for anyone, anywhere to join until Oct 31st 2008. (And even after that, I believe a lifetime membership will be low-cost).

So, if it sounds interesting to you, and you want to join free,  visit them ASAP at:

(And no, I don’t get any commission for  this. I just admire the thinking behind it, and hope it helps).

If you have any thoughts or comments about holistic business, or the network and its site, please let us know.
