“I can't say enough about the incredible support I've received from the Karen's in the Big Blue Door website community for both Female and Male Entrepreneurs & Coaches. KC and KK are truly amazing women who go above and beyond to help, encourage, and support us every single week. The programs they offer within the community, both free and paid, have been instrumental in my personal and business growth. Being surrounded by a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who genuinely care about each other's success and are always there to celebrate wins together has been an absolute game-changer for me. I'm so grateful to have found the Karen's and to be a part of this incredible community. They have been there for me through the lows and highs, and I genuinely look forward to our weekly connections. The Moon Cycle Planning course, in particular, has revolutionised my business planning, relieving all the stress and pressure I used to feel. Thanks to KC and KK, I have become much more successful by implementing this innovative routine. Thank you for creating this amazing community for us!”

“To those who are considering joining... I can't contain my excitement about being a member of the Big Blue Door! This membership group has truly been a game-changer for me, and I'm thrilled to share my experience with you. First and foremost, Karen Kessler and Karen Collacutt, the managing partners of the Big Blue Door are absolutely fantastic. They go above and beyond to help you out, and their thoughtfulness shines through in every interaction. Whenever I hit a roadblock or got stuck, they were right there, ready to lend a hand and guide me in the right direction. Their availability and willingness to support you are second to none. Now, let's talk about the weekly training sessions. Wow! They are nothing short of amazing. The content is so intuitive, always hitting the mark and addressing exactly what we, the members, need. It's like they have a sixth sense for understanding our challenges and delivering just the right information. But it's not just the relevance that impresses me; the way they present the material is a true art form. The sessions are not only informative but also incredibly interesting, keeping me engaged and eager to learn more. I never thought learning could be this enjoyable! And let me tell you about the members. They are an incredible group. Supportive, accepting, and genuinely interested in each other's growth and success. The Big Blue Door has created a safe space where I feel comfortable showing up as my authentic self. There's no judgment here, only encouragement and a sense of camaraderie. It's refreshing to be part of a community that truly values and uplifts one another. In conclusion, the Big Blue Door has exceeded all my expectations. The leaders' helpfulness, the intuitive and engaging training sessions, and the supportive community have made this membership group an absolute treasure. If you're looking for a place to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded individuals, look no further than the Big Blue Door. I can't recommend it highly enough! Cheers, Carole Parsons”

Creating Rhythm with the Periodicity of the Moon

Moon Cycle Business Planning - Periods, Cycles, and Giraffes...Oh My!

When we decided we wanted to create more space in our business, to breathe, to create, to produce, we looked for a rhythm. We were seeing a way to create the consistency that we benefited from in the typical 30/60/90 business cycle, with more flow, more space.

Periodicity is the quality or character of being periodic, the tendency to recur at intervals, also thought of is period, revolution, rhythm, round, and series

We decided to use the Moon Cycles to create periodicity. The moon cycles are similar to the months, have a consistent rhythm, and we are familiar with them. The moon is always available for us to observe, and the moon has a deep and rich history for humans, through the mists of time. It offered the function and flow we were seeking.

Periods, Cycles, and Giraffes...Oh My!

We created our business planning flow. 

  • PERIOD: New Moon to New Moon is a Period
  • CYCLE: Four Periods is a Cycle, approx. 12 weeks
  • GIRAFFE: Four Cycles is a Giraffe, approx. 15 months (this is how long it takes to gestate a baby giraffe.)

Each block of time has a process. We create our Giraffe Plan for the Planning Cycle (approx. 15 months). Then we create a Cycle Plan for the 4-Period blocks. At the beginning of each period, we focus in on what needs to happen in the 28-day time block.

This process separates us from the deeply embedded structure of the calendar and creates space to breathe into the planning. It provides a fresh perspective, and a new way of seeing guidance and making decisions.
