The Outer Work of Building Your Doula Business
The Mental Aspect of Business
Once you have done some of the Inner Work of building your business, you are now ready to move into the mental aspect of the Outer Work. Here, you synthesize your values, beliefs and emotions and begin to create goals. You determine the areas that need your attention and mentally work through how you will achieve results. Resources may include:
Books
Websites
Seeking advice from experts in the birth business
Enrolling in workshops to learn more about business topics
Consulting professionals such as attorneys and accountants for business guidance
As your mentor, I am able to help you identify resources that you may not know about. This may help you move towards your goals more quickly.
It is likely that as you work on the mental aspect of your business, you will find it easier to identify goals, prioritize your tasks, and organize yourself, your schedule, and your space.
The Physical Aspect of Business
The physical aspect is the culmination of all you have worked towards in the first three aspects of building your businesss. By starting with the Inner Work, you were able to clearly determine the necessary steps so you are able to take action in your business. You will find that this process is continual. As your business grows, you will find yourself going back to the Inner Work aspects of your Spirit and emotions. These serve as an internal compass for you to recharge and redirect so you can return to the mental and physical aspects with more clarity and intention.
