For the Past Ten Months I Have Been Offering Online Webinars
I call them the Two-Hour Taste of The Work sessions. They are a great way to get a taste of The Work, and a chance to work with a different guest facilitator each time.
For most of this period, I have offered these online video teleconferences every week.
But the time has come for a reality check. Most weeks there are 2-3 people participating. Sometimes just one. At most, eight.
So The Time Has Come to Shift Priorities
It doesn’t work for me to keep offering a workshop that is not well attended. So I will be discontinuing the Two-Hour Taste of The Work after September 3rd.
I may still offer it occasionally, maybe once a quarter, and only if demand is there.
This is good news, because it will open up more time for private sessions in my schedule, and will allow me to focus on Inquiry Circle, where people are participating on a regular basis.
It Is Interesting to Notice My Thoughts as I Do This
There is some definite attachment in me. And letting go is still a process I’m going through.
Here’s a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet I wrote the other day that I am in process of working. This is about questioning my attachment to my own creation.
On a visceral level it feels like losing a child! What a great opportunity to do my work.
Here’s my Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet
1. I’m saddened by the Two-Hour Taste of The Work because it was a failure.
2. I want the Two-Hour Taste of The Work to be a lively forum for inquiry.
I want it to make me look good.
I want it to be popular.
I want it to help promote my business.
I want it to make me more well known.
3. The Two-Hour Taste of The Work should draw 40 people per week.
It should be something everyone is excited about.
It should automatically catch-on.
4. I need the Two-Hour Taste of The Work to be a success.
I need it to be something I can be proud of.
I need it to be a source of income.
5. The Two-Hour Taste of The Work is a failure, a disgrace to my name, a reminder that I gave up too soon.
6. I don’t ever want to have a good idea fail again.
I look forward to questioning all of these stressful thoughts and finding that my happiness is not dependent on the Two-Hour Taste of The Work.
There Are Two Sessions Left
You’re welcome to join us today and next Thursday for the last two sessions of the Two-Hour Taste of The Work.
Have a great weekend,
Todd
“For people who enter this inner world, the world of inquiry, jobs become secondary. Freedom is everything. Jobs come, jobs go, companies rise and fall, and you’re not dependent on that. Freedom is what we all want, and it’s what we already are. And once you have inquiry, you can be as ambitious as you want in your job, you can shoot for the moon, because you can no longer fail. You realize that the worst that can happen is a concept.” Byron Katie, Question Your Thinking, Change The World.
