The Grounded Wingnut 1st Edition

Well I’m excited! Today marks the first day of a new column on Creativity Shifts. The column is called The Grounded Wingnut.

Let me explain what Grounded Wingnut is for, and why I’m choosing to call it by that name. I’ll start with the name.

Yes, I admit being just a wingnut by itself might not be such a great ambition. But it’s a little quirky and catchy, and I like it if I add the grounded part to it. Someone called me that once and I took it as a compliment! And that’s how I mean it too.

So here is how I’d define it. You are a Grounded Wingnut if you:

• See your business or career or life as a container through which you express your creativity and grow both personally and professionally.
• Have to be creative and have fun in your business or career or life in order to be fulfilled and happy.
• Listen to and trust your own inner guidance more than you listen to the voices of others.
• Recognize the need for a spiritual purpose to everything you do and at the same time want to be grounded in this world we live in so you can accomplish your vision.
• Have mentors who guide you to your own wisdom and brilliance.
• Don’t have to know every single answer to every single question.
• Have an extraordinary vision and follow your inspiration to take the daily action steps that bring you always closer to it.
• Have a sense that something is longing to express through you.
• Have a longing to bring your greatness to the world even when you’re not totally clear what that is yet.
• Recognize that each individual is a part of All That Is.

So now that it’s defined, let me tell you how I’m going to use The Grounded Wingnut.

I’m going to give you information about practical resources, tips, and tools that you can use as a vehicle to bring creativity, a spiritually-based purpose, and vision to what you want to build and offer the world.

Watch for it!
