    HA! I knew this would be monumental to just get you teaching and sharing and figuring your shit out. I am so excited for your progress and steps this last week Sharyn. Way to go. Keep rocking it. It seems you’ve got a lot coming through right now!

    Days 8, 9, 10 & 11 are posted.

    Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/pg/InnerFireCoaching/videos/?ref=page_internal

    I wasn’t sure if I would be able to broadcast over the weekend. After my husbands gallbladder surgery (with recovery complications) on Monday, I wasn’t sure if we could go on our little out-of-towner, but we made it. Then, we both needed for it to be relaxing, no pressure–a time to rest and recover and renew. But, I was able to do 2 relatively brief broadcasts at the B & B before 8:30 breakfast, so that felt good. Today was a bit challenging as we came home, and as soon as the family members who are “temporarily” staying with us (one for 1 1/2 years so far and the other going on 4 months!) arrived from their various activities, certain things happened that undid all the lovely equilibrium we had just gotten back. Nevertheless, I persist. Did my meditation first to find my own balance–which delayed the broadcast for almost an hour–and then fired up my iPhone and went live.

    These broadcasts/recordings continue to be too long and I still haven’t found a resource to edit them for me or the where-with-all to do it myself, but think they will definitely be usable for an e-course. I haven’t been able to stick to the 9 a.m. time as I had planned. I’ve tried to keep my e-mail list updated, but realize now that doing these broadcasts isn’t just about the broadcast. It involves preparation, advance notification, follow-up notification, ideally editing and all sorts of other moving parts. They have definitely been effective in helping me “show up”, be real, think my way step-by-step through information that has been overwhelming to organize. Possibly may be the new keystone of my business bridge.

    Two more days to go. I have LOTS OF IRONS in the fire–completely re-vamping the focus and copy on my website and under significant time constraints, finishing up this 13 day project, getting a virtual book circle launched and my Mystical Activism somehow put together well enough to launch, AND having enough visibility or something to have people to launch to.

    So, I’m feeling that much has been learned in this challenge, much has been accomplished, and now, onward to the “much that still needs doing.”

    Thank you! It is so strange, isn’t it? I have thought and thought and thought and thought.

    Then some little honest spark took hold. And now I have a pretty good cook fire going.

    You just never know.

    Thank you Bobbie Jo for checking in and for your comments!

    I am so stoked for you @sharynwa.

    I think the editing can be done AFTER your 13 days is over. You will awnt to revisit all the lessons anyways so you can distill your message, create additional pdfs/handouts and tighten up the content to your most POTENT moments from your broadcast.

    Either use Screenflow OR Filmora OR Camtastia OR iMovie. Whichever you have. They’re all relatively easy.

    Once you choose your editor, go to Youtube and type “How to edit with ___________.”

    You will be shocked at how simple it is.

    Then, as you’re editing and you don’t know how to do something, just go back to youtube and type “How to ____________ in iMovie/Camtasia, etc…”

    Magically, the answer will appear and five minutes later you’ll be a master editor 😉

    It’s so easy.

    Look how much you’ve accomplished in 10 days. No more thinking. Action, action, ACTION!

    Celebrating you Sharyn.

    Here’s the link to Day 12: https://www.facebook.com/pg/InnerFireCoaching/videos/?ref=page_internal

    One more to go. Kind of running out of steam and ready to do review in hopes of being able to pull it all together.

    Here is the letter I sent my web (re) designer to explain my desire to incorporate FSO in my new site.

    “So a little background about what I am sending you in this attachment.

    Two weeks ago, the day after you and I spoke, I had a coaching session with the 2 men who created The Great E-Course Adventure and whom I have asked for help in getting a course off the ground. Which translates to, helping me get this business off the ground. 12 days ago they challenged me to create a mini-course in 30 days with the caveat that they would not schedule my 1/2 day biz development coaching session until that was done. Instead of showing up on FB live once or twice a week, I was to broadcast every single day on any course topic of my choosing. AND, I was to be real, honest, authentic. “Nobody wants another Tony Robbins. People want to know that a real human being can help them with a real problem. Not some know it all, better than them, expert.” They promised me it would be transformational.

    After a sleepless night 🙄—and not being able to settle on what to do, I thought—AGAIN—to myself, “I am so tired of trying to figure this shit out!” It then occurred to me that I was laying besides my husband who was trying to figure out what was causing the pain he had been having since Dec. And I thought of my 2 dear friends who are trying to figure out how to survive their marriages. And my daughter who is trying to figure out how to find someone to love and who will love her. And another friend who is trying to figure out if she is good enough to do the kind of work she really wants to do. And a client who is trying to figure out how to be OK with dying, and how to go about it in a way that feels good…..Well, it occurred to me then that EVERYONE IS TRYING TO FIGURE SOME SORT OF SHIT OUT. And that was something I could talk about. Because while this is still a journey and not a destination, I do have considerable experience in this, and have learned some things, and this particular topic would be a good way to do what I have wanted to do all along—just be myself.

    So, today I completed 11 days of FB broadcasts on “13 Days of Figuring Shit Out.” In the process, I have answered for myself the question you asked (along with everyone else!)
    The “Who” I work with has been clear from some time. I’ve talked about that and written about that and for want of juicier language, just call my tribe “spiritual independents” or spiritually untamed seekers of wisdom, meaning, and purpose.

    “What” are they seeking? They too are just trying to figure shit out. And they want to do it from a place of Spirit, that makes sense—has resonance in every level of their being: in body, mind, heart and soul.

    So somehow, and I am seeking your perspective on this, I want to feature this 13 Days of FSO. Maybe as a freebie course with the option of paid “high touch” personal consultation with me. I’m not sure about that yet and still have to do editing with a bit of text to go along, but basically the information is there. And I think will also be a really good lead into the Magical Meditation program, Mystical Activism, as I find myself “pitching” them in a non-pitching way.

    I am not sure about the language. I typically don’t write with a potty mouth, but do cuss. Mainly when regular words just don’t have enough ‘umpf” to suit me. And, really, I just threw up the name of the project “as is” because that is how it came to me and exactly what I meant. From a design perspective, I don’t think we need to have graphics of doo-doo, LOL, as the site is beautiful, the idea of guidance from Sprit could not be more clear, and the notion of being a little easier and lighter about it all—sprinkles and sparkles of humor–seems relevant.

    Day 13 of Figuring Shit Out 13 Day Project

    Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/pg/InnerFireCoaching/videos/?ref=page_internal

    Woo Hoo! I did it. 13 straight, un-interrupted, no excuses days of Facebook Live broadcasts.

    Much learned. Will outline in follow-up post.

    Editing commences next in order to be  e-course useable.

    Today’s my BirthDay, so about to head out for start some celebrations.

    Brad and Andy, I think I am ready to schedule that 1/2 day throw down.

    I finished all 13 days of FSO. They are posted on my Facebook page: Inner Fire Coaching.

    Today I did a FB live broadcast and sent an e-mail to my itsy-bitsy e-mail list that I am offering a free study/discussion on Dion Fortune’s “Magical Battle of Britain”. To also be a preparation for participating in Mystical Activism: 7 day magical mediation experiment to empower deep personal well-being while assisting to help birth a New Dream for the Collective.

    Because doing the 13 day challenge that Brad and Andy issued really turned out to be quite remarkable in helping me figure my shit out. Clearing out fear. Making way for honesty and authenticity. Working with the ebb and flow within me. And watching for and following the signs coming from my “bliss.” Every time I think about not showing up, all I have to do is go to my Facebook page, see something else that #NMP Trump and the evil empire has cooked up and WHAM!!!!–my inner fire is hit with another big spritz of accelerant.

    I’ll go so far as to say, if you or anyone you know, are wondering what you can do from the Inner Planes to help make a difference in turning the tides of destruction, and focus on fashioning a New World of equally shared growth and well-being, than check out “Fired Up and Ready: Mystical Activism” on my link.

    Metaphorically speaking, I don’t know where this shit is going, but the constipation is over.

    LOL I am so stoked that shit is figuring itself out through you @Sharyn. That is teh beauty and magic of showing up, being vulnerable and doing the work.

    Here’s an exercise:

    Imagine you were to turn your 13 day experiment into a guided “13 Days to Figuring your Shit Out” mini course.

    If you were to break down your ONE main lesson or epiphany from each day into a guided process, exercise or lesson for your students, what would it be?

    Go through your 13 days and extract the main lesson from each day into a 1-2 sentence outline.

    Share what you find and decide if you’d be excited to mini course’ify what you discovered.

    So so happy for you Sharyn. Way to push through the resistance.

    Thanks, Brad. Great, clear exercise proposal!

    I would like to schedule my 1/2 day coaching session with you and Andy during the  1st week in August if we can work it out.
    Otherwise, sometime in the 3rd week?
    I’m planning on some beach r & r 8/5 to 8/12.

    Thanks again for your steadfast encouragement.

    I’m skimming through all your shit here and loving any time I stop and read or watch any bit of it. You got so much to share!

    I love how down to earth and deep you get at the same time. I love your approachability and compassion and in the last 5 minutes of taking it all in, I am becoming a fan. Love your shit! Love how you put it out!

    David–Thank you!

    I think there have been about 2 people lay eyes on these–now, with yours, maybe 3! LOL.

    Visibility aside, this has proved to be an incredibly valuable exercise. Next up, putting together an actual FSO e-course and discovering the very best way to offer it.

    Thanks again. I really appreciate your curiosity and beautiful comments. And that’s no shit!
