Start Here | A Sustainable Business Model

November at The Teahouse

I recently received some incredibly fun & perspective-shifting questions over on Instagram. The only downside was trying to fit my response into one story slide. Solution? Start a series where I share expanded insights on the most intriguing ones.

Let’s begin with this:

‘How to build a right business model with sustainability without compromising my whole being?’

At its core, business and making money is simply an exchange between two consenting parties. One is happy to provide a service or product and the other is happy to receive it.

A product or service is a carrier for your specific & unique message. Designed to contribute to the collective awareness and our human evolution. Sometimes that contribution is to expand our pleasure and intelligence. Other times it entertains us. Creates space to heal, connects us to versions of ourselves we’ve once suppressed & even delights our tastebuds with flavors that feed us.

In order for others to know that your creation exists, you have to share it. Marketing as Richard Rudd so eloquently says is about “guiding the flow of information into the world.” It’s making yourself, your ideas & your art known through the mediums & channels that best suit you. It’s allowing others to engage with your work & validating the exchange with our current currency- money.

So when it comes to business models, the simple truth is there is no ‘right business model’ only a business model that is right for you.

Every day innovative changes are infiltrating classic business models such as B to C (business to consumer). What makes your business model sustainable isn’t necessarily the model itself, although knowing the differences between existing ones helps, it’s how you enter into it, the frequency behind it, and the variables you take into consideration from the very beginning.

Ask yourself: What are my inherent gifts, talents & abilities? Do I know my cosmic profiles (Human Design, Astrology & Gene Keys)? How about my energy output. Is that consistent or inconsistent? What are my strongest characteristics as an entrepreneur?

Am I a visionary, a builder, an innovator, a commander, a master? Where am I still learning & where could I use support or collaboration? Do I know who I’m talking to or want to connect with? A consumer? Another business? Do I want my business to encompass multiple models within one?

A business model is an outline of services or products your business will create in order to become & remain profitable. A sustainable business model is able to maintain its ethos, values & profitability at a certain standard & over a chosen period.

For many of us, entrepreneurship is a lifelong game. No matter how it looks, no business is an overnight success. When business is approached from a truly holistic perspective, taking into account your personal needs, health & well-being, sustainability stops being a focused goal & becomes a natural byproduct. So how are you tending to all parts of yourself? How are you caring for the many layers of your business?

To become a sharp instrument of attunement, you’ll need to listen in & make the essential adjustments needed with each passing day, month, season & year. Checking in first with yourself as the conduit of the vision & then with the business as the courier of the mission. Looking at your offers, products, marketing, customers, online presence, in person presence, profit margins, your time, your wellbeing & so on.

Instead of it being a towering list, allow it to serve more as a reminder of the healthy habits that need to be prioritized to build something high quality & long lasting.
