Ask not what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive… then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
~Howard Thurman
Beyond strategy.
If you’re struggling to get your passion-based business off the ground, or just aching to step into a greater manifestation of your full personal power, you need to stop focusing on strategy now.
Relentless focus on strategy development is the real reason most online ventures fail.
When you’re obsessed with strategy, you’re constantly trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B…you’re creating stuff because you think people will dig it, and it might lead to sales, which only makes sense since you need cashflow to survive, right…? You’re focused on the bottom line, and creating from there:
“How do I get more people to read my stuff… how can I get more sales for my products… how can I book more clients?” So you go and learn from the experts — buy their courses, read their work and implement their strategies. But you rarely get the real context behind their success, and there’s not much room for real creative flow in that mindset.
The real reason these people you admire have succeeded:
A) They learned to listen to their gut instincts, and create and implement strategies from their spirit flow, and;
B) They focused on building the right relationships, and learning directly from the masters.
Strategy is just a small piece of the puzzle, and the only successful strategies I’ve ever implemented are the ones that flowed straight from spirit.
You can create the greatest content in the world — and you should strive for that, because otherwise no-one will have a reason to like you or recommend you — but without the relationships you have nothing. People hire you, buy from you and refer you because they like you, they believe in you, and they know that you’re the real deal.
How to create successful heart-based online ventures:
1. Align deeply with the flow of your spirit.
2. Listen closely and allow the joyful purpose of your spirit’s flow in this life to percolate to the surface.
3. Listen more closely, and mine the evidence of the great gifts you have been granted with to enable you execute on this great purpose.
4. Listen even more closely, and find out exactly what your spirit wants you to create through these priceless gifts of yours.
5. Create a simple spirit-based action plan to follow, enabling you to follow a “structured flow” strategy for success.
6. Fold this into a larger action plan that falls in alignment with your life goals.
7. Catch the flow of your spirit and take decisive, heart-driven action.
This last step is actually the most essential, and it should drive all 7 steps.
Muscling forward without spirit flow is like running on an empty tank. You eventually stop making real progress.
The flow carries you — it’s your driver — when you catch it well, it merges with your essence and carries you through to the finish. The flow merges with you, and your full brilliance gets to come into play.
The Flow Sessions are alignments for your heart and soul, enabling you to execute your greatest life work through calling forth your spirit. This is the beauty of true creative alchemy, and heart-driven success.
The Flow Sessions help you develop:
- A foundation to create epic beauty from;
- Clarity on which projects to move forward with;
- Clarity on how to move forward with your biggest projects;
- Understanding of how to develop heart-based strategies for creative and business success;
- Ability to listen to your spirit and channel your innate talent and brilliance;
- Deeper understanding of the mechanisms of relationship-building for successful online ventures;
- Show you where you’re pushing too hard, and how to let go into greater ease of flow;
- Strength of heart and trust to let the flow carry you to the finish.
To paraphrase a line from Eckhart Tolle: “Fear is simply the absence of trust. The two cannot exist together.”
To book a flow session, just email me and let me know what you’re trying to accomplish, or what you need help with. If I feel there’s a good fit, you’ll receive an invoice and instructions on how to proceed, followed by a short list of powerful questions to prepare us for your first session. Cost is $197 per session, conducted over skype or phone, and recorded. I’m generally booked two to three weeks in advance (only four slots available per week).

Testimonials:
Thanks, Satya! I really appreciate all your help, support + guidance…more than you know!
You ROCK!!! You shine the light BRIGHT!
~ Ashley Turner, Yoga + Psychology
You were skillful at quickly getting to the heart of the issues blocking me from achieving my potential in my business. And the clearing you performed and ongoing support you provided were not just of concrete business value, but also of deep spiritual value. You provided me with exactly what I was looking for, and also what I didn’t know I needed!
You’ve also given me a much needed confidence boost that I’m not crazy, and that my ideas for my business can actually work. You provide a really valuable service in getting all of us with big dreams out there living our glorious dharma. I see you as a catalyst for transformation. When a big vision lies dormant in someone, the best thing they could do for themselves is work with you to catalyze their own individual transformation, so they can in turn catalyze others with their vision.
I found that the changes in my understanding as a result of working with you positioned me to make significantly more money, more easily, in my practice. My investment paid off!! I’ve already recommended you to several friends running heart-fueled, passion-based, change-making businesses.

As I was ripping down the mountain in a whirlwind of fresh powder this morning in Idaho, I flashed a piece of content from my last call with Satya. He mentioned to simply look back at what I enjoyed doing in my last online course… and to do more of that in my next one. This might sound very obvious, but I could feel the next idea of how to further the content in my next course in the most efficient and enjoyable way.. for myself and for my tribe.
Once again, Satya’s ability to cut through all my stuff to the essence of what will bring more freedom and truth is apparent to me.~ Cate Stillman, YogaHealer.com
I had never connected online this close with someone I’ve never met before in real life. It’s kind of a daunting idea when it comes down to it. After experiencing it firsthand, I have a definite conviction that more people are needing to connect in similar situations.
I found ideas that had already been inscribed into my soul, but I had never received such advice and ideas in such a personalized manner…talking and being encouraged with somebody who’s on a higher level than you are and who had every opportunity to snuff you down to size is something priceless. Had the call been three or five hours long, I’m still certain that all of it would’ve been beneficial.
You bolstered me and what I’ve been trying to start. You know what you’re talking about and you think I can succeed. That’s a lot to take in. I have an audio record of the whole call to help me respawn these ideas when I need them, and now I feel that some sort of ice has been broken; I’m really looking forward to connecting with other great people online in such a personal way.
~ Tim Grayson, Musicologist
Satya really saved me when I was looking to create my website. I had a vision of what I wanted to create, and he helped me dig deeper into what I really wanted to create for myself with very thorough questions.
What I liked is that he took my lead, and created an online strategy that was grounded and tangible. Also, he’s very patient and accommodating which I really needed. I’m really happy with the results from my website and online strategy, have been receiving some exceptional feedback, and highly recommend Satya to anyone!
~ Antoinette Cabral, AntoinetteCabral.com
It’s overwhelming when starting a business. There are so many things to do, and so many directions one can take. You helped me get clarity on what the next step was which has saved me a lot time, money and potential frustration. You figured out very quickly and accurately what my needs were and gave me a concise, clear, simple and effective way to proceed with my business plan from where I was. No BS, no wasting of time, just results.
You helped me organize my thoughts in relation to the business strategy and gave me precise steps to take in a clear and simple way to understand, which is exactly what I needed. You listened to what I had to say and during that very short time knew what I needed from our meeting better than I did!
In addition to you helping us clarify our business strategy, we really appreciate how your message came from a place of service and integrity. It’s inspiring and in aligment with how we want to show up. We have already recommended you to our friends and look forward to collaborating with you in the near future. You have great heart energy and bring a lot of ‘light’ to your business. It’s very much appreciated!
