I am about to take a sabbatical from A Peaceful Resolution.
Here are the things that combine to make this the right choice (I think!).
- This website/concept holds a very special (dare I say sacred) place in my heart and I don’t want to do it half-assed.
- This is the year to pay my debts off.
- I want to build a location-independent business.
- I have expertise that I can implement right now which will help my heart’s constituency (smart, nice solo entrepreneurs).
- A Peaceful Resolution was always going to be a slow burn, building momentum very organically.
- I can only do about two-and-a-half things at once.
- I am being paid to write a book, I have set up The New Site, I am working on getting fit (that’s the half).
So… I’m taking time off from here.
Now, I love it here.
I. LOVE. It.
So please don’t think that I am abandoning this project.
In fact, it’s because I have such high regard for developing the ideas here well that I want to leave it for a while.
Implementing these principles/keys/things in my life feels like an apprenticeship, and I want to defer that apprenticeship for.. a while. Maybe a few months, likely a year, possibly more.
One of the major things I have learned over the past few months is how to write in my voice.
I will be taking that fine line of genuineness and usefulness over to SmallBizTalks.com where I am working to set up a resource for people who want to do talks to promote their very small business.
You might not know that I have been coaching people in presentations for seven years or so, so I have a bit of knowledge to offer from giving feedback on over 4,000 presentations. SmallBizTalks has a large video component, a bunch of free stuff, plus, very soon, some paid stuff.
I can’t help but write off-topic, so I’m going to move my random musings over to another domain, which I will post here when it’s up. That is also where my Year Of Opening will carry on…
So… thank you so much for being a part of this experiment.
Please stay subscribed, so that when I start up again, you’ll know.
And, as always, you can hang out with me on Twitter…
Take care.

Whoaa!
Darn.
My loss.
I really appreciated your musings. And only recently started following you.
Good luck with this new venture, Andrew.

Yeah, sorry Brian.
I will be back!
Thanks for letting us know! Kudos for setting boundaries and making choices. But I’m disappointed on my own account.

I won’t miss you at all! Not one bit! Only because I’m thrilled you’re doing this other blog and I know your Peaceful Resolution perspectives will be infused in everything you do over there anyway. And this other thing you’re doing is just the thing for me right now. To working on our fitness! And business! And presentation-ness!
