The Way We Work Stinks!

Are you one of those accomplished people who doesn’t want to do what you’ve been doing, but isn’t sure what you want to do next?  Who is dissatisfied with their work or their income, and know they’re meant for more – for more fun, more meaning, something bigger with your work and life?

Do you have more ideas than you know what do with, creating confusion about what to do next?

I was just like you, and found a way to combine all my passions into a single, meaningful business that I love, that helps people, and that makes money.  Now I’m helping other people do this too.

“Making Money Through Enjoyment” is possible for you, whether you’re independent, an employee or a CEO:

1. You can make as much money as you authentically want.
2. Your can align your work with your life values and passions.
3. Your work can fulfill you and make a difference.
4. You can feel powerful, valuable and capable of making an impact.
5. You can have the peace of mind & freedom that comes with having all the support you want from people that you trust and respect.
   

There Is A Way To Make Work Fun, Purposeful And Powerful…While Making More Money

The name PebbleStorm came from my intention to create an environment of work in which I, and others, can make big impacts with small amounts of effort (”small pebble, big wave”).

Here are some examples of what that actually means:

• I created two profitable passive-income businesses (www.DataSalad.com and www.ColdCalling2.com)…in four hours each (well, ColdCalling2.com took 4:15). And I spent less than $100 to do it, each. They’ve generated more than $25,000 in passive income in the past twelve months – including $6,000 in July.
• I created and developed PebbleStorm into a $10,000-per-month attraction-based coaching, speaking and seminars business – going to $20,000 and then $50,000 per month next year – while spending less than 4 hours per week to found and launch it. (Now that it’s past the baby stage and is growing up, I can productively spend more fun time on it). And with no “selling”!
• I’ve spent less than $100 out-of-pocket to create and grow PebbleStorm into a profitable business.
• Without me asking, a top internet marketing guru offered to help me launch PebbleStorm, resulting in a first webinar of 1300 registrants and a sold-out first group mastermind program (a follow up one is coming in early 2010).
• I wrote a book in a weekend: I wrote a soon-to-be-published book (”CEOFlow: Turn Your Employees Into Mini-CEOs“) in during Nov 22-23, 2009 – yes TWO DAYS.
• I am designing a unique and first-ever “PebbleStorm Immersion: Uncover, Build & Launch Your Business In 3 Days”. This will be an intimate event in January for my private coaching clients.  Even better – 1/3 of the time will be for playing, getting to know each other and building ongoing relationships!
• Over the three years while doing all this, I lived and traveled overseas for four months in places like Bali, Argentina, China, Japan, Brazil, India, Nepal and Bhutan.

I am showing others how to do this too.

And that is just in the first year of PebbleStorm – 2010 will be crazy!

Pebblestorm Is A Trusting Community Of People That Has Fun Helping Each Other Succeed

It begins with a Unique Genius Process to help you get clear on your purpose and how it can be translated into fulfilling work that generates money.

Getting clear on your purpose will literally help you attract your dream business, your ideal work.  For me, that meant a business in which I could have fun with work, make plenty of money, and allow myself the freedom to work on what I want, when I want, with whom I want, from where I want.

(You can see the launch slides and webinar in the blog post “Thanks for making the world more of the place I want to live”.)

You know that you have more potential than you’re living up to today (join the club!) You might be a stay-at-home mom who’s graduating her kids, or an A-D-D entrepreneur with more ideas than time. It might be from a lack of direction or purpose for your energy, or maybe because you have too many ideas and feel like there’s never enough time, money or resources to work on them all. Regardless, you feel like you’re meant for more.

PebbleStorm helps you unlock your full potential so you can realize all of your purpose, ideas and intentions. It’s a set of concepts and fresh look at how to create and grow a business in ways that use enjoyment to create growth and profitability. Even better, it’s about how to create a virtuous circle of “enjoyment that increases profitability, and profitability that increases enjoyment”.

It begins with committing to create a work/life-style of more fun, more freedom and more money - your perfect working world We can take the “work” out of work! How? By making money through enjoyment, in a systematic way that makes it easier and more fun to create our dream business(es) that combine our favorite passions, add meaning to our lives, and are financially successful.

Dream Big, Take Babysteps

“Making money through enjoyment” starts with reflecting on your Dream Work, and evolves through babysteps.  If you could do anything, mashing your passions and enjoyments into a business, what would that be?  What difference would it make to people or the world?  Dream big! Then, rather than leaping into it, take babysteps towards clarifying and creating it. Act small. Do something tangible, no matter how small, at least once per month to make it more real, such as meeting with like-minded friends to discuss your ideas.  Little things make big things happen.

Be patient, be persistent, and ignore get-rich-quick schemes that will just distract you.  It usually takes people at least two to three years to build a stable business, so make sure you enjoy the ride and do not quit your dayjob if you need the income!

Questions To Get You Thinking

* Do you feel like you’re here to do more, to make a bigger difference? But you’re not sure what yet? Or you have a new business idea that you’re passionate about, but it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere? Or you have 10 new business ideas, and feel frustrated at not being able to tackle them all at once?

* If you wiped the career slate clean and started with a blank sheet of paper, what would your dream business be’? What would it look like if you got to combine everything you love the most about work and purpose all rolled into one?

* What’s your “unique genius”? Your life purpose is to help others by sharing your inner self – but what does that mean?  What is the combination of the things you love to do and are naturally talented at…done for others or the world in ways that add meaning to your life?

So You Want Freedom?  What Are You Doing About It?

You will never obtain independence by working for someone else – only by working for yourself and with trusted collaborators.

It can be scary though, and difficult without a teacher, guidebook or support.

About Aaron Ross

I think you should have more fun with work, not just because it’ll make you more successful, but also just because you can!  Often what gets in the way of people making real money is their obsession with making money.  OK, here’s the bio…

Aaron Ross is the founder of PebbleStorm, which is helping 100 million people “make money through enjoyment”, by showing them how to shift their business to make money through work that energizes you by being fulfilling and fun.

One of PebbleStorm’s programs is CEOFlow, which helps leaders free up their time and energy by turning their employees into mini-CEOs that help them run the business like high-level executives.  Of course, it’s hard to enjoy making money if it’s not predictable, and Aaron’s “Create Predictable Revenue” sales consulting practice helps companies with B2B sales organizations do just that.

Before PebbleStorm, Aaron Ross was an EIR (Entrepreneur-in-Residence) at Alloy Ventures, a $1 billion venture capital firm. Prior to Alloy, at salesforce.com Aaron created a revolutionary Cold Calling 2.0 inside sales process and team that helped increase salesforce.com’s revenues by $100 million.  Aaron was CEO of LeaseExchange (now eLease.com), an online equipment leasing marketplace. As an entrepreneur, he has been in Time, Businessweek and The Red Herring. Aaron graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Environmental Civil Engineering.

Aaron is also the cofounder of DataSalad (“Fresh B2B Marketing Data”), and on the advisory boards of Clickability, 4INFO, ConnectAndSell, AfterCollege, ExpertCEO and Flywheel Ventures.  His B2B sales blog is Build A Sales Machine.  He is an Ironman triathlete, graduate of the Boulder Outdoor Survival School and volunteer mentor at SCORE, “Counselors to America’s Small Business”, and an avid motorcycle rider (www.MotoCEOs.com).

Whew…

And yet I’m not ADD, hate multi-tasking (though I like having multiple projects), rarely feel busy or stressed, and I spent last December living in Buenos Aires.  The secret?  Living by PebbleStorm’s principles, which I’m now distilling to share with you all.  Doing all this isn’t much fun alone…the more people who can make money through enjoyment, the better.

I want to help you join me in having more fun, freedom, meaning and money in work.
