Start Here: The Sacred Business Manifesto
Take the Love-Led Leap (Hint: Everything is Connected …)
A manifesto to help you take the first step to building a business that will allow you to experience more time, money, and freedom.
Hi, I’m Phil Powis, half of the Sacred Business Flow Team. I’m joined by my partner and Chief Energy Officer, Carolina Wilke. You’ll meet Carolina soon, but first, let me tell you about the hardest time of my life.
By 35, I was managing a consulting business bringing in over 100K a month in revenue.
This was beyond what I imagined for myself. I had a thriving business, was driving a fancy car, and had recently bought a beautiful house in the suburbs of Boston.
On paper, my life looked like a dream. On the inside, it was a very different story.
No matter how much I achieved, I wasn’t feeling connected to the abundance or joy of these accomplishments.
Overtime, it got worse.
Years of ignoring the warning signs of overworking, playing the “lone wolf” who didn’t need the help of others, and not listening to my inner wisdom finally culminated in a complete breakdown of my health, several autoimmune conditions, and the final straw:
The discovery of a golf ball-sized tumor growing in my neck.
That’s when the doctor dropped the bomb: I had a 50-50 chance that I was walking around with cancer.
As I saw my mortality flash before my eyes with my tumor diagnosis, I zoomed out in a way I’d never before experienced.
Halfway across the world, Carolina was experiencing her own critical moment with her health.
The stress of living for years in a fast-paced corporate lifestyle had left her with consistent chronic migraine headaches making it hard for her to function in her daily life.
Carolina exhausted all conventional medical solutions for getting help, eventually giving way to trying lesser-known treatment modalities.
One of the most extreme attempts was enlisting the help of a small old Chinese woman who aggressively cracked her jaw to improve the flow of Chi.
Carolina tells the story that she remembered thinking, “Oh no, is this woman going to break my face?”
But she was desperate to find a solution.
She was in and out of hospitals, often experiencing intense vomiting because she was too sensitive to be exposed to light.
One day she found herself in Montreal, locked in a dark room, crying as she asked herself a simple question: “I wasn’t born like this; how did I get here??”
She didn’t know what it was going to take, but she felt a strong conviction that she would find the answer.
