What I’m Asking…
Inspired by Manolo of the very funny guilty pleasure of a blog, and his ‘What the Manolo Is…’ series on Tuesdays, here is my first stab at ‘What I’m Asking…’
Ahem. I wonder whether this will become a regular addition to the Money and Meaning Blog… 
But seriously…
(1) “How much money is enough?” In the quest for money, how can it be that we’ve spent so little time on this question? So then. As conscious entrepreneurs, how much is enough?
If ‘enough’ were to hit us in the face, would we recognize it?
(2) Being on creative hiatus for the month of February leads me also to ask… “Of the short-listed projects I have in front of me, what would be the biggest contribution to complete? What would be the most far-reaching? What material introduced in what way, would be most transformational?
(3) It being ‘not a bad time’ to consider a charitable foundation as an addition to my business (at least according to people I trust), what the heck would I want it to do, to stand for? I mean, it’s one thing to make donations regularly, but….*ponder*
These are fairly serious-seeming questions this time around, but they won’t always be, trust me. 
It’s just that Canada’s most famous Albino Groundhog, Wiarton Willie already took care of *the* most important other question today, leaving me free to think deep thoughts.
Thanks Wee Willie, for bringing news of an early spring!
Serious questions but very intriguing. How much is enough? I’ve been asking myself that question a lot lately and not just in regards to money.
And, thanks (she says sarcastically) for turning me on to “The Manolo”. I’ve spent an hour reading his blog. Gotta love his ugly shoes observations…
I’m in the process of launching a more focused giving campaign after a teleseminar with Maggie Keenan of http://www.givingadvice.com.
I’ve always thought I would like to eventually have “Philanthropy Fridays,” where I do nothing but write checks and donate time to organizations. Maggie offered me a free 30-minute consultation to get a plan formulated.
Ok, I’ll embarass myself and go for the less grand observation that Canada has a Ground Hog day at all, and that you have your own ground hog to watch for Spring, eh? (have to sound Canadian, too, don’t I?) Fun tidbit.
How much is enough?
Since it’s on MY mind, I’ll ask myself the question, how much is enough EMAIL? How much is enough time spent reading EMAIL? How much is enough time in email vs. creating products or reaching more people?
I’m loving your creative hiatus autoresponder, since you know I’ve thought of using the same idea. As one of your fans, I first thought, oh, I”ll miss you.. a month’s a long time!
I’m loving that I can visit you at your blog to see what you are doing with that creative time. Great idea.
Digesting all that and knowing that my answer about my email for now is I’m spending TOO much time in it!
And what if I followed you and simply set the expectation that others might not hear from me? THanks for modeling that.
