During last night’s “Know Thyself: Become the Expert in Your Field” offered by websitesandcoffee.com, it became clear to me that no matter what one’s vocation is, we are all here to help progress healing in others. This, of course, helps in our healing as well.
So whether I coach people in website development, or you design jewelry, provide therapeutic massage, are an author, or a banker (yes, even that!), when we meet our client, it is an encounter for healing. An opportunity is present for awakening.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if the encounter is in the context of business – that’s really just a façade, an excuse if you will, to meet – or social. For “…where two or more are gathered in My name…,” it is a holy encounter indeed.
Reach out and build valuable relationships with donors, clients, and volunteers. 
Market your book and speaking via a simple website that tells your story. 
Manage your ongoing conversation with your clients in ways that keep you present when they most need your products and services. 
In my capacity as Dir. of Member Retention at the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, and previously as Dir. of Sedona Public Library, I always strive to make connections between people. An institution is purely a vehicle by which people connect, both with the institution and one another. The overarching goal may be for profit, to provide support (as with the Chamber) or provide information (as with the Library), but each has its community, and community is not just about using a service or purchasing a product, but finding common cause among people.
Often, businesses and organizations forget that their primary resource is the people who make up the organization. The entity may have buildings, machinery, vehicles, property, inventory and more, but not of that happens without the people behind those things that move them forward. Human capital is the greatest resource of any organization or business. Husbanding that is of primary importance for any organization or business.
Humans, being real, do not, in any sense, become the property of an organization, which is without life. It’s the other way around: organizations exist to make it possible for humans to organize themselves to serve their own betterment.
I think Joyce is making the point that actions are always and only about healing ourself and others – no matter how we couch those actions. Everything we do must be a function of that healing – it’s just who we are. A business takes no action in and of itself – it is both directed by humans and the servant of humans. I think humans have done a lousy job of husbanding their organizations – including business.
