Become Your Own Business Adviser, April 2012

Clarity. Objectivity. The playful power of manifestation.
Twelve classes, Mondays, April 9-June 25, 2012 (12 weeks).

Running your own business brings up so many questions:

• “Am I doing the right thing?”
• “Is there something I’m not seeing?”
• “Should I buy this new marketing course? What if I make a sizable investment, and it doesn’t work for me?”

Business advisers are valuable.

They see – clearly and objectively – which parts of your inner monologue are guiding you like a GPS system, and which parts are throwing you off-course.

Business advisers are great. They’re also expensive.

What if you could draw on your own wisdom, genius, clarity and inner knowing to make sound decisions for yourself and your business? What if you could confidently serve as your own business adviser?

Steering your ship. Navigating risk.

The good news? You already have powerful allies and helpers in many dimensions who are as invested in your success as you are. When you develop a relationship with your inner business adviser, and with the soul of your business, you can access this help in practical ways.

In this profoundly playful, transformative 12-week course, you’ll tap into your deep well of creative genius, bringing all its powers to the great work of growing your business (and your life) in an organic way.

For curious explorers…

“Hiro is brilliant at this stuff. I would not have been able to create the Playground without the help of Become Your Own Business Adviser last year.

In order to make the Playground happen, I had to become the person who could handle it. This meant developing aspects of myself and abilities that were completely new to me.

So much clarity and enthusiasm and knowing – that’s what I got, and also the insights needed to grow my business in the way that I wanted it to grow.”

-Havi Brooks, The Fluent Self http://fluentself.com/

Part One: Foundational skills.

You’ll learn to be present, no matter what is going on…to develop clear communication with your wiser self. You’ll recognize and unravel patterns that no longer serve you, replacing them with creative, productive habits.

Part Two: Decision-making magic.

You’ll learn to clear the fog that obscures what you already know…to draw on the underground stream of your intuition. You’ll transform confusion, fear and resistance into clarity and momentum for your business.

Part Three: Creating and manifesting.

You’ll apply all of these skills to creating and manifesting a project of your own choosing. You’ll learn how to create in harmony with all the powers of wholeness, collaborating with the soul of your business and other allies to create the miracle that is your business. You’ll navigate all aspects of the creative process with playful delight, ease and harmony.

“The Become Your Own Business Adviser program is wonderful.

I came to the first class exhausted by everything I thought I ‘should’ be doing with my business.

I’d been reading blogs and books by the many experts out there and recovering from 6 months of intensive business coaching all of which I felt were taking me away from, not towards, myself and my business.

Hiro has taught us a repertoire of skills and techniques which take me to that quiet place at the core of who I am and what I do. In 4 months I’ve gone from overwhelm, panic and distraction to calm, centered focus. I now have a clear road map for my business and am back in touch with the creative heart of my work.

Thanks to Hiro and her wonderful teachings I’ve found the perfect business adviser for my work – me! – and I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you, Hiro!”

“I’m a good girl. A hard worker.

So when Hiro’s gentle guidance and hot-like-lightning tools in the Become Your Own Business Adviser program began to open doors, dissolve obstacles, and pour new people, opportunities, and dollar bills into my world… with EASE… it was almost disconcerting.

But Hiro and the Devas (the amazing helpers to whom she introduced me!) were ready for my resistance and able to help me dissolve my discomfort with comfort.

Not only are things easier, but — and this is the surprise — I’m okay with that now!

So grateful, Hiro. I will continue to work with these tools and be my own business adviser for the rest of my life.”

- Michele Lisenbury Christensen, Power Catalyst http://www.workingwithpower.com

“When I registered for Become Your Own Business Adviser, I felt the desire to strengthen my energy practices with a teacher and a group of women. I had followed Hiro’s work for some time and was very attracted to her writings, and after listening to her pre-BYOBA teleconference I knew this was the class I had been looking for. I entered into the program with an open mind and an open heart, ready to soak up whatever was being offered.

BYOBA provided a visual and energetic reconnection to my soul, my inner-selves and all of the qualities that I contain, as well as an introduction to my own healing capacity, in congruence with the unconditional support of the Devic Realm.

I’ve gained a new sense of clarity and balance in my business, as well the confidence that I am ‘on purpose’ with my business project! New opportunities seem to be presenting themselves and doors are beginning to open up for me!

Would I recommend BYOBA to a loved one? In a heartbeat! In fact, I’ve already recommended it to my boyfriend.”

– Joy Rigberg, Conscious Joy Coaching http://www.ConsciousJoyCoaching.com

“Become Your Own Business Adviser helped me re-connect fragmented parts of myself like nothing before – it’s as if a glass ceiling between my daily life and my spirit life has disappeared. I can’t recommend the course highly enough.

I’ve discovered that I really, really don’t have to do everything alone. That the Devas are there, that I can have conversations with them, and that they can advise me. Concretely.

The interaction with you and other class members helped me stay committed to exploring new ways of working. I can truly begin this year knowing that I’m on the right path and that I’m walking along it, not just standing, contemplating it!”

-Lindsay McLeod, Guru Body http://www.gurubody.net/

“It’s hard to describe my experience of the Become Your Own Business Adviser class with Hiro. A few words that come to mind: Poignant. Gentle. Clear. Vast. Glorious! With her brilliant guidance, I dug deep, became more present with myself AND my business, and learned how to attune and play with the subtle energies of both.

A lot has shifted since our work together. Majorly shifted! I became clear on what was no longer serving me (and released it) and am embracing and cultivating new and inspired ways of working in the world. Ways that I never would have expected!

The weekly calls and support from my classmates felt like a cozy container that helped hold me as I found, explored and dove into my own power.

It’s amazing – dare I say, miraculous – what can happen when you work with Hiro as your guide. She offers so much priceless wisdom and intuitive insight; it’s pretty mind-blowing. Words can’t express how wonderful and gifted she truly is. And how much I totally adore her!”

-Stephanie Watanabe, Creative Film, Photo & Event Producer http://www.StephanieWatanabe.com

“If you’re thinking of signing up for Hiro’s Become Your Own Business Adviser, I fully encourage you to make the leap.

Hiro provides, not basic techniques, but energy technologies – her word for the deeply sourced, fully investigated practices that create the ground of BYOBA.

It’s a rare person who can teach the practices they themselves have discovered. Hiro is one of them. Listening to her week after week, you know these are technologies she sets her life by. You know your heart and your business are in good hands. (And may I just say listening to the sound of her voice and the poetry of her words for 12 weeks might be reason enough to sign up!)

You will be stretched and challenged by this program. In the best possible ways.

You’ll also be fully supported.

One of the things that astounded me was Hiro’s availability throughout the program. Not only does she answer questions week after week during class time, she is extraordinarily responsive on the password protected course page. You have the opportunity to ask questions specific to your situation, and the answers she gives are unique to your experience. (I have no doubt Hiro could hear the same question from two different people and offer two distinctly different answers.) You get the benefit of having your own questions answered and seeing what is coming up for others, too.

I don’t have one specific experience to point to regarding the value I received from this program. I will say I continue to work with the practices Hiro gave us. When I do I have a felt sense of clarity regarding my business and the heart-decisions I’m making. I know my choices are right on, and I have ways of working with them as my inner and outer landscapes change.

I almost envy those of you that are just starting out with BYOBA. Come to think of it, I may just pull out my class recordings and start at the beginning again…”

–Mahala Mazerov, Luminous Heart http://luminousheart.com/

Hiro, I use the skills we learned in Become Your Own Business Adviser regularly! It has helped me so much to be able to manage my energy in all kinds of situations.

I have integrated it into the work I do with clients as well. We are all benefiting from the ripple outward started by your wise, patient, keenly perceptive and balanced work.

Your program is one of the things I am most grateful for this year!

-Lailey Jenkins, Clinical Psychotherapist http://www.laileyjenkins.com

“When we started working together 4 months ago, my goal was to feel like writing more. I felt burnt out, and it was making me afraid. I wanted you to help me find a way to squeeze more billable hours out of myself. I know how ridiculous that sounds now – overworked person wanting to feel like working more – but that was my mindset.

I’m usually resistant to woo-woo stuff, especially anything involving chakras. I still don’t understand what a chakra is. Plus, it seemed like as soon as those yoga classes were over, all it took was one crazy day to bring me back to my old self. I hoped working with you would be different.

Fast forward to now: I’ve repositioned my business to bring out more of the qualities I want it to have – qualities that make me feel happy and energized. I’m working with the best clients in the world. I’ve added amazingly talented writers to my team so I’m scalable. I’ve started a new, high-end program that calls on my secret superpowers. My website is redesigned to better reflect the experience of working with me. I’ve also just had the best three months in my business ever. Revenue this year is up 54% over last year.

This wasn’t your goal – but it was an outcome of our work together.

I can’t do anything that’s not good for me.

Yes, I’ve been applying actual marketing tactics and it’s not all just magical fairy dust. But I already knew how to do these things. The difference is that now I’m heading up the right mountain and I know I’m on the right path. There’s a certainty to what I’m doing, a surefooted-ness. I trust my intuition. I’m starting to know what it feels like to just know what to do. It’s a wonderful sensation, to actually trust my own judgment.

I’m creating my business from the inside out. Because I know how to say “yes” to the things I want my business to have – and “no” to the things I don’t want it to have – my business is growing toward me rather than away from me.

I am a different person today than I was 4 months ago. And my business is different, too. You might not call yourself a “business adviser” – because you’re so much more. But if I had come to you for pure business reasons, I can definitely point to at least a ten-fold return on investment. What I ended up getting was much, much more than that. Thank you!”

The techniques that Hiro taught in the Become Your Own Business Adviser program helped me really get to know the soul of my business, and to work with it as a friend and ally.

I took this course when my business was a teeny tiny baby. I was putting the finishing touches on my website and thinking about initial products and offerings.

During the course I took this as my project – figuring out what my first product would be, and how to go about creating it. I met the ebook I was considering writing and got clear that it was not the project I most wanted to work on right then. I also had the information I needed to put it aside for the moment and focus instead on individual client work.

My favorite part of the course was learning techniques for maintaining and taking care of my energy on a daily basis. I knew before the course that this was a significant gap in my education as a human being. But I didn’t know how to go about remedying this deficit, or even what, precisely, I needed to learn.

Happily, a big part of the course is the basics of inhabiting your own space and taking care of it. Hiro has a genius for teaching these techniques, and a very clear and cumulative way of moving through them. I learned tools for maintaining my energetic sphere and making decisions that I had been wanting to forever. Now I use these skills every single day in every realm of my life, including my business.
