Whole-Self Marketing & Selling Vs. Not-Self Nervous System Activation.
|
Hi Reader, I've felt for some time resistance to the online business space. It's given me the ick. Not to the work of supporting entrepreneurs but the techniques, funnels and just the entire approach. It is a byproduct of a time gone by. Forged in the days of Ad Man aka Mad men. Trained to make you feel like by not buying you are missing out, by making you feel less than, selling you into a life that isn't yours. You buy from a place of should's. Should's live in an activated nervous system. The fight, flight, fawn, flop or flee response. When you buy from this state you are buying because you are triggered. When you are triggered you aren't making decision congruent to who you are. Selling you the false promise that you if you buy this you will belong, that your life will magical change, that the symtpom you have been experience will disappear without any work. A quick fix to the problem you have been experiencing….all without having to go through the pain of growth and change. Unrealistic expectations and false promises. And here's the thing it's not your fault. You nervous system doesn't differentiate between the threat or fear from the words online or being chased by a bear. It turns on automatically when we are threatened, stressed, and operating out of alignment. When we operate from should's or buy because we are triggered, stressed, FOMO, feel less than or because we should. This is what I call Nervous System Activation Selling aka selling to and from the not-self. This is where we activate the not-self. We trigger the nervous system. And people buy out of alignment. Stressed because of they don't buy wh When they buy out of alignment they don't finish, consume or buy again. The online industry is rampant with this. I believe this is where building a Whole-Self® Business Comes into play. This is where Marketing and Selling both from your whole-self and to the whole self matters. Where we honor our selves in process. Where we find the joy in the journey and stop chasing quick fixes. Where we show up authentically, vulnerably, we sell to the possibility. We deconstruct beliefs. We lean into mastery. We practice what we preach. We give ourselves a permission slip to pursue what we know to be true for ourselves. Whole-Self® Businesses are built at the intersection of our design, desires and lifestyle. I first used this term in 2023, and I've been using it ever since.. It feels like now is the time to unleash the Whole-Self® Sales & Marketing Gates & Channels to the world. Because right now we need more people honoring the whole of themselves. Who have ethics and integrity in their marketing, selling, expectations and deliverables. The era of the Whole-Self is here… And this is the birth of the Whole-Self Business Industry. As always take what resonates and leave the rest. Below you will find some examples of the channels....this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is inside the Whole-Self® Sales & Marketing Manual + 3 Day Experience. Enroll Here As a Founding Member & Limited Edition Print Holder Let's dive into the some example channels of what it means to sell to the whole self...remember this is just a taste to help you make an informed decision if this is correct for you. Channel 41-30 - The Channel of Recognition: Marketing Considerations I must convey in my marketing: that I understand the deep, felt desire behind what my audience wants — not just the surface-level want, but the emotional longing underneath it. Sales Considerations I must convey in my selling: that I understand the real feeling my prospect is chasing, and that working with me is a genuine step toward that feeling, not just another purchase. Social Media Examples Why someone hires me: they need someone who understands the real, felt desire behind what they want not just the surface ask. Example - A post naming a specific, relatable longing my audience feels but hasn't articulated. Marketing & Content Ideas A story series documenting the full arc from longing to hope to fulfillment in a real business decision. Channel 34-57 - The Channel of Power Marketing Considerations I must convey in my marketing: that my power is instinctive and real. When I move on something, it's because my gut and my life force are genuinely aligned. Sales Considerations I must convey in my selling: that my instinct about what's right for you is powerful and reliable. I move decisively because I trust what I sense, and that decisiveness is what makes me effective. Social Media Examples Why someone hires me: they need someone whose instinct and power are genuinely aligned — when I say yes, I mean it, and that certainty is what makes me effective to work with. Example - Content capturing raw, embodied energy. Marketing & Content Ideas A "walked away" story series showing moments instinct said no, even when it was tempting to say yes. Channel 13-33 - The Channel of the Prodigal Marketing Considerations I must convey in my marketing: that I've genuinely listened and reflected deeply before I speak. My wisdom is earned through real listening and real retreat, not quick opinions. Sales Considerations I must convey in my selling: that I've genuinely listened to people like you before, and the wisdom I'm offering is earned through real experience and reflection, not guesswork. Social Media Examples Why someone hires me: they need someone who has genuinely listened, reflected, and gathered real wisdom. Example - Here's a pattern I've noticed after listening to so many stories". Synthesized wisdom from collected experience. Marketing & Content Ideas A recurring series: "What I Wish I'd Known Sooner". Sharing hard-won wisdom regularly. Channel 23-43 - The Channel of Structuring Marketing Considerations I must convey in my marketing: that my insights, while sometimes unconventional or ahead of the curve, are genuinely simple and useful once I break them down. Sales Considerations I must convey in my selling: that my insight, though it may sound unconventional at first, is genuinely simple and useful once you understand it — I'm not overcomplicating things. Social Media Examples Why someone hires me: they need my breakthrough insight, but only once they've genuinely invited it in and it has to be simple enough to actually use. Example - A post breaking down a complex insight into its simplest possible form. Marketing & Content Ideas A framework-building series, turning breakthrough insight into clear, structured steps. Channel 22-12 - The Channel of Openness Marketing Considerations I must convey in my marketing: that my expression is a genuine initiation. When I create and share, it's real, heartfelt creative urge, not content manufactured on a schedule. Sales Considerations I must convey in my selling: that when I'm genuinely open and in the mood, I become a powerful, transformative presence but I can't be pushed into that state on demand, and that authenticity is actually the point. Social Media Examples Why someone hires me: they need my genuine, open, emotionally powerful presence not a guarded, scheduled version of me performing openness I don't actually feel. Example - A metaphor-rich storytelling series, articulating emotional truths through narrative. Marketing & Content Ideas A recurring series shared only when genuinely inspired — quality and mood over consistency. Channel 32-54 - The Channel of Transformation Marketing Considerations I must convey in my marketing: that I'm discerning about what's genuinely worth pursuing, and that my ambition for growth and transformation is real, tested, and built to last. Sales Considerations I must convey in my selling: that I've carefully discerned this is genuinely worth pursuing, and my ambition to help you succeed is real and sustainable, not reckless. My goal is to support you in creating continuity. Social Media Examples Why someone hires me: they need someone who has carefully discerned what's genuinely worth pursuing and has the real ambition and drive to help them achieve lasting transformation.. Marketing & Content Ideas A "what I said no to" content series, showing discernment about what wasn't genuinely worth pursuing, that supports us in continuity and growth Channel 58-18 - The Channel of Judgement Marketing Considerations I must convey in my marketing: that I see what's not working better than anyone else and that my correction comes from a real desire to help something thrive, not to criticize. Sales Considerations I must convey in my selling: that I will tell a prospect the truth about what's not working, and that fixing it will genuinely make their life better, not just check a box. Social Media Examples Why someone hires me: they need someone who understands the real, felt desire behind what they want not just the surface ask. Example - A post naming a specific, relatable longing my audience feels but hasn't articulated. Marketing & Content Ideas A recurring series: "What's Actually Broken". A weekly diagnostic naming one common, unspoken industry problem. --------------------- If this resonates with you, I invite you to dive deeper.

Hi Reader, I have been seeing so many people on the internet talking about the human design colors - determination, environment,, perspective and motivation but ONE of the biggest and most important things people are missing is that these do not exist alone AND they stack. Meaning....if you are out of whack, in transference, the low expression, the not-self or whatever other name you want to call it, with one of them the rest of them are off too because they are all interconnected....every...
Hi Reader, Your perspective is the lens with which you see the world. It is what you notice when you look out at your industry. When I teach this inside of my trainings I often speak to it as the glasses you wear. It influences what you notice, see and eventually name. Perspective in marketing, selling and in business is a differentiator….it is why two people in the same industry will delivery and name different things. Perspective happens externally, in the world around you - it is what you...
Hi Reader, I am sitting here looking out over the sound. The colors of autumn ever present. Seals dancing, birds swirling. Magic everywhere. Nature just fully owning the whole of who it is and the season. Then I logged onto social and saw a plethora of people talking about the color level in Human Design and how it applies to business. Like it is some breakthrough thing… Some were throwing shade at one another (and me). Others were copying, pasting, and editing my posts… thinking that a post...
