Hi permies,
I've just started reading "Building Your Permaculture Property (
https://permies.com/wiki/153863/permaculture-projects/Building-Permaculture-Property-Rob-Avis), and while I'm not currently developing a piece of land, I have another project that I think the process presented in the book will apply to: Building a business.
I'm currently employed in the high-tech robotics/automotive space, and I've been wanting to make a change for quite some time. My path has led me to hire a career coach, run some introductory events, and do some serious thinking about what my gifts are and what I want to share with the world. I've done enough thinking, and I'm ready to start
doing. The first practice recommended in the book is to get an accountability partner, someone to have regular check-ins with who's engaged in a similar but separate process of their own. I can see the benefits of this, but I don't know anyone personally who's on this path right now, hence my message on this forum.
To give you an idea of what I'm looking to build: I want to teach/consult/coach/mentor people in various aspects of how to be happy, healthy, capable, and free. I find that I really come alive when I'm sharing what I've learned with others.
I've been what I consider an 'rewilder' for quite some time. I have a PDC from Midwest Permaculture, and I've recently been certified to teach MovNat (movnat.com), a physical education and fitness system based on the full range of natural human movements. I'm an advocate for Free(as in freedom) Software, and how to use technology well (and not be controlled by giant corporations). I also do have the intention to someday acquire some land to practice on-the-land permaculture, but right now that feels out of reach.
Is anyone else here just starting to build their own business in a similar vein and interested in having a partner to check in with from time to time?
If you're interested in this, please send a PM. If you have questions that you think would benefit others, please post a reply. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
