Buy a smaller rucksack and only carry what you need!: Business and personal learnings from Walking the Camino Paths with Jackie Jarvis
This is part one of a two part podcast with the wonderful Jackie Jarvis. Phil Rose talks to Jackie is known as the Walking Business Coach, and she’s Co-Founder of Natural Netwalking. She’s also a best- selling Author.
Walking has always been part of Jackie’s Life, she has walked through all her ups and downs, gained inspiration for her books, her business, and ultimately the work she does with her clients.
And having hiked over 3,500 Km on many of the famous Camino Pilgrimage Routes to Santiago, ( most recently she is just back from walking 350km on the Via Del Plata) she knows exactly how transformational the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, whilst out in Nature, can be.
In our podcast conversation today ‘Walk and Grow Rich’ she aims to share with you, powerful insights for Business Growth and Wellbeing gained from her Solo Hikes across Spain.
(Some of) The main points for listeners:
· (how) Can you do more with less…
· Walking through your ups and downs to find a new direction
· What we can learn from walking the Camino de Compostela – it’s not ‘just’ for pilgrims
· How walking transformed Jackie’s life
· If you’re feeling overloaded what would you put in your rucksack?
· How Jackie recognised the load on her back was ‘spoiling the journey’: The weight was literally weighing her down and was an exact mirror of her life…
· How the Voice of Slow inspired Jackie to rid herself of the things that no longer served her.
· Have the courage to let go of that which no longer serves you
· Asking for help maybe all you need – and it takes courage
· Learning from the simplicity of walking in nature alone – many of us are too busy to notice the things around us
· What do you need to offload to move forwards? What do you need to let go of?
· How can you travel in life a lot lighter… we need to learn how to do it rather than just being told to do it… how would you make the choice of what to carry?
· One of the hardest things in business (often) is letting go and recognising what help we need to move forwards
· How is overload showing up for you in your life and business?
· Sometimes solitude is helpful to us as we look to move forwards… walking in silence allows us to hear the real thoughts
· It’s the space between the notes that creates the music (Wayne Dyer)
· How most people make more money by being away from their business
· “All the paths have energy…” – how the Camino routes have been a place for physical and spiritual renewal for 1000s of years
· The Camino always provides… you just have to trust in it…
· The parallel with the Hoffman process – we are all human beings and we are all on our own journey
· Jackie’s next book – it’s in her head and waiting to come out “Walk and Grow Rich” – (and it’s not about money it’s about wealth of spirit)
· Jackie’s advice to us all – Buy a light rucksack and only carry what you need!
