Rebel in a Business Suit

Things have been busy on other sites. With the launch of my personal business site, the Noble Souls site and the work being going on at Rebel Island things are progressing.

As far as the book is concerned it has been gestating- that’s probably the best way to put it. I think I’ve found the basic anchor to it now and can proceed again with my thoughts and ideas in this space.

Fundamentally the idea of the Rebel in a Business Suit is about reaching into and re-emerging with your true self. The Oracle at Dephi in ancient Greece spoke about ‘knowing theyself’ so that the idea of being a rebel in a business suit is the journey from ‘mask to core’ - from what we ‘project’ to what we ‘radiate’ out (or do not let radiate out). A Rebel in a Business Suit is someone who has decided that they’re fed up with all the image and other people’s rules and want to get real with their life and work and themselves.

Whether that’s about changing their careers, making more time for themselves, for their families or friendships or getting to their spiritual source and starting to live those values within the world - then that’s the rebellion, the casting off of chains that have prevented our light shining.

Gen Y and increasingly many of us in Gen X won’t work for images - they will work for authentic and ‘real’ people.

There has been some significant movement within the r’evolution and alliances continue to be formed.

What is becoming clearer is that Generation X are indeed the ‘bridge’ generation between the ‘Baby Boomers’ and Gen Y and much work is being done in this area as we truly live in a r’evolutionary age.

I’ve met recently with firms such as Common Purpose and E3Unlimited both of whom are focused on the new world of work and on the Generation Y space and we are coming together to collaborate on creating an educational event for the Baby Boomers, those of us in Gen X who still don’t get it and their offspring in Gen Y.

Woth checking out their sites and seeing what is here and now. The r’evolution grows.

I’m conscious that it’s been a while since I posted some new material on the chapters so I have put two more chapters up for your edification recently. I’m not focusing on them being ‘just right’, ‘just yet’, but comments are welcome.

This book is becoming an exploration in thought and I suspect that I’m going to have to bounce this around a little more before it tweaks itself into position.

Ever start something in a blaze of glory and then wonder ‘why?’ - it’s not that I’m struggling with the concept - it’s just about how is all going to come together seamlessly. But then, maybe being r’evolutionary means it doesn’t have to - its all about the provocation, the passion and then the purpose.

I had a meeting this week with a literary agent in London with a view to help with getting the book published eventually. Always useful to get third-party feedback on one’s ideas. While I’m not a big fan of the publisher route - having had a bad experience the first time - I had been looking at web self-publishing the book.

However, the idea of someone working with me to keep me focused and to look at other ways to use the IP around the book would be of great help. Trying to make the time to write is still problematic what with the demands of the practice but doing my best. I have had quite a few articles published in the press around the topic which can be viewed here so I am making head way.

Next challenge is to get the completed R’Evolutionary Selling audio programme series finished, review the chapters written to date and put them up on the site and re-design the primary site www.SeanWeafer.com
