If you’re looking to follow your inner guidance, you might think you should get direct instructions for every single thing you do, or at least what you’re confused about. That’s not how it works.
@kristianmichail I think of words like a file folder. The contents are in the immaterial realm, and that’s what really matters, not the external package.
@HelloCoriWillis It’s so interesting that disparity because they’re not always the hardest workers, smartest, and probably not delivering the product. I dated one of those, and it was surprising how that all works.
@slow_is_better@MeetKevon Same here. Getting organized usually helps so much. Over the last week I did a ton of organizing my time blocking and also revamping my plans for the rest of the year, and now I feel really energized and inspired.
@MeetKevon I'm inspired how you intentionally chose not to engage in hobbies or social life because there's simply not time to do it all. And it's also inspiring how you do take your kids to activities on weekends. As a single mom, these kinds of things are much harder, but may be possible.
@MeetKevon I joined Kevon's course because I know I need some step by step guidance on how to show up online in ways that feel authentic and relational, but to have a sense of confidence in what I'm bringing and how I'm showing up. I teach how to develop direct access to your inner wisdom.
@kellycwilde Wow, this is so insightful! I’ve seen reactionary tendencies poking up in trying to get my work expressed, but it’s feeling really authentic now.
@AskYatharth@the_wilderless This is part of why I don’t practice traditional meditation. I get into spaces of knowing and understanding that’s so needed for my life, and just returning to the breath would be so boring and reducing the capacity of what I could receive at that time.
@MeetKevon Well of course imposter syndrome can play in. Did it feel like a mental thinking and trying to get it right, or more of a knowing? Imposter syndrome is in that mental thought loop, but that can even add on, on top of what you’re knowing or seeing from deeper. Make sense?
If you cling to what you want, you get stuck. But why? I explored this question in depth with inner voice last week. One reason is when you ... https://t.co/rOg8dQqZje
It feels like to me most relating, whether online or offline, has a component of unconscious taking, like how can I get from you. I feel like there’s a clean relationship when there’s value brought through a business that is paid for by attention and more value by money, which is not intended to be friendship. And that friendship needs to be not based on getting value from someone but on exploring together what love is.

@the_wilderless Yeah, to my observation, there’s the expanded unformed awareness of being, and then the focused awareness through human of perceiving in form that enables specific experiences to occur.
Wow, this feels very interesting, Kevon. To me I've had to narrow down the offers I'm making for what I can do as a 1-person business. I decided not to try to hold community space for those who are just mildly interested -- so I made my long-term community only available to those who completed my cohort-based-course. This ensures that there's a full basis of know-like-trust on both sides, and that for those who join the community, we're choosing each other.
The course itself requires that heavy involvement that you mentioned, but it feels extremely appropriate for that format, because it's about changing your whole entire life. It needs to be something you bring a lot of attention to in order to access the transformation it's designed to bring.
But I feel like the format that's most applicable for other businesses will vary based on what transformation they're trying to bring their clients through. To me, learning to build in public might be something I'd want to learn over time, and I'd likely only subscribe (and be willing to pay $$$ for a cohort based version) if it was feeling very pertinent as a main thing I need to learn right now. But to me it feels like more of a tangential skill, not the #1 thing, and I have so many things to do that I wouldn't be able to devote myself to that one specific learning. Probably earlier on my journey I would have though.
Another note I'd make about a community for semi-interested participants (where it's not a big part of their life), is that it's felt to me like too much and too little at once. I'm not fully engaged, so trying to relate to a bunch of people I don't really know or even take an hour of my time away from the work I am invested in feels like too much. At the same time, it feels like too little, because it doesn't really meet the need for human connection (since they're only mildly interested, no one is showing up fully -- and those who would be more suited for a deeper connection probably wouldn't be there). And it doesn't meet the bigger needs of my work, since it's only addressing one component.
But I guess I'm just not wired for shallow connection, and at this point it feels best case like a waste of time and worst case triggering pain around not being met more deeply.
What I do notice I'm appreciating right now is that I'm still sitting with your self-paced course I purchased on building an email course. It's on my roadmap, and I know it will be there when I'm ready, but there's no pressure to do that work until I'm ready. I suppose when I'm actually doing it, if you were simultaneously holding a routine Q&A type call (with a bigger price point obviously) for those going through it, that might be something I could see myself attending at that point, just to get help with building the course and work through any hurdles coming up.
@Theholisticpsyc I love this so much, and I love even more how many of the comments you replied too. That speaks more to me than your post, because I see so many with a big audience posting and not being with those who respond, and it feels sort of symptomatic of that sense of disconnection.
