How big is too small?

What if, in the midst of feeling a bit overwhelmed at the end of week #1, it turns out that I’m thinking too small, not too big?
Could it be that I’m supposed to be including other people in this venture as partners?
Do you know anyone who would be interested in working together to develop a new Coaching business that serves people at all income levels and across for profit and NFPs?
What if this is actually looping back to the Small Business Incubator discussion?
What if it is looping back to the Center for Suburban Spirituality discussion?

Perhaps in the morning, when the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie buzz wears off I will be thinking more clearly and realize “its the sugar, man” and come back down to earth.
Or maybe, in the light of day, the possibility of the hugeness of what God is calling us to will be even more clear.

Once you’ve jumped, height is mostly relative. Mostly. How high is too high?
So here is Felix Baumgartner’s Red Bull Supersonic Freefall from Space.

Here’s to regaining control in the spin!

New Coaching Practice – day 3

Well, this launch of my new coaching business/ministry has been a whirlwind of
thoughts, hopes, dreams, questions, words, conversations,listening, praying, watching, tweaking, typing, driving, calling, texting,
asking for favors and offering favors.

I think that the more I tell my story, the greater clarity I gain and the more my words seem to make sense and find their own coherence. At least that is how it feels to me.

I have revamped my website and built a new Facebook Page for Ken G Crawford Coaching.

I have created initial business cards and flyers for both the business and ministry sides of my practice.

I have had business owners express interest in forming strategic alliances.
I have had individuals request a consultation to explore establishing a coaching relationship.I have had clergy indicate both need and desire to work work with a coach.

I still have to make decisions on the formation of the legal entity – LLC, S-Corp, SP, etc.
I still have some branding decisions to make in the short term.

I still need to decide on a name for the business and the ministry. I am leaning toward:
“Synchronous Life” – as in “Bring harmony your work, relational and spiritual energies.”  “Synchronicity Ministries” and “Synchronous Life.”  I want one central word or idea – i.e. “Synchronicity” that can be developed and riffed in a variety of ways for both commercial and non-profit ventures.

I am excited about the new things that God is unfolding in my life and ministry, and hopeful for all that is to come. I pray that this work makes good use of my gifts and talents, is a blessing to others in their lives, enables me to provide for my family, and ultimately glorifies God. That’s not too much to ask, is it?
