      The Soul Boss™ Principles

      Here’s a simple question: Who’s the boss of you?

      Is it your phone, social media, calendar, or credit cards? Maybe it seems like your friends and family are calling the shots.

      Let’s look at it from another angle. If you’re already the boss of you, are you a good boss? Are you kind and reasonable or demanding and critical? If you treated others the way you treat yourself, would they be eager to work for you?

      It’s possible to start over and become the creative, wise CEO of your life. You can integrate your separate work, home, and off-hours personalities into a seamless experience by using mindfulness, courage, and integrity. When you use soft skills, like adaptability, empathy and discernment, to solve problems and make hard choices, soulful moments don’t happen every blue moon; they happen everywhere you go.

      There are three straightforward elements to the Soul Boss principles.

      Connect head and heart by relying on your instincts as much as your intellect

      Calibrate your behavior to respond to a changing world with authenticity

      Commit to practicing insight, wisdom, and compassion

      Are you unsure about how these principles would work for you? Think of it like this: You may have deep emotions about an inspired idea, however, genius stalls if you never get off the couch. Or, you could have brilliant intellectual opinions—but they will fall flat if you lack the self-awareness to see that no one is keeping pace. The three principles above fill in the gaps between these extremes, giving you the means to navigate the real world.

      Life can be challenging and uncomfortable. That’s why building a set of customized techniques for taking charge of yourself should be easy. Easy to understand, with relatable case studies. Easy to implement, with clear, practical actions. And right to the point, because you need real-time solutions.

      Start where you are and live Soul Boss life!
