Enough

Once, many years ago, I put my hand up at a business conference where the teacher was sharing her strategies for business growth and success.

I had been working with her for a while and had been lucky enough to experience both growth and success.

But as hundreds of us sat in the room, pens poised to note down the strategies to scale and grow, I found myself on my feet asking 'Yes, but when can we stop? When is it enough?'

And none of us had an answer.

I've returned to this question again recently. We've just enrolled another 500 members into The Flower Club and when I look at the numbers, and the kind of business we want to be - small and elegant - with these beautiful souls now on board with sowing, growing and giving with the other members; we now have enough to create our wonderful community without our team and processes having to grow any bigger and our support become less personal. Enough profit to sustain my life and family.

Enough.

"But why not double or triple your business? It would be so easy to do!" 'they' say. Every day I get emails and letters through the post offering me funding to scale. My socials are FULL of business experts offering to help me grow bigger, faster, MORE. It's literally a touch of a facebook ad button away.

The assumption is that every business owner should want to grow.

Where are the people celebrating having enough?

With the focus of their care being the customers they already have instead of attention dialled into creating new ones.

Being in service from a place of fullness rather than hunger.

Resisting to urge say yes to more just because you can and feel expected to and instead having the courage to say 'No thank you, I have plenty. We are full.'

Where are THOSE people? Please tell me if you know.

I want to hang out with them.
