A Spiritual Approach to Growing Your Business

This is a fellowship-wide conference call hosted by the World Service Business Debtors Anonymous Committee.

Please join us on Sunday, February 26, 4-5:30pm EST

The call will feature 3 speakers, bringing their experience, strength and hope to one of these topics:

1. WHAT IS SPIRITUAL SUCCESS? A focus on solvency, good client relationships and self-care, while building a successful business.
2. WHAT IS A SPIRITUAL APPROACH TO MONEY? A focus on taking attention off fear and lack; being of service versus grasping for oneself; is receiving large amounts of money spiritually acceptable.
3. WHY IS A SPIRITUAL APPROACH IMPORTANT TO OUR LIVES? A focus on trust and faith; overcoming vagueness and shame around money issues. How BDA helps live a spiritual life.

Each speaker will talk for 15 minutes, followed by a 10-minute Q&A.

Call in numbers:

Several D.A. members — mostly past and present ISRs and GSRs — are leading the organization of a series of 90-minute phone workshops offering an open exchange of experience, strength, and hope on the topic of D.A. Public Information.

There will be nine monthly calls, beginning in January 2017, extensively covering the topic of PI, and creating lots of space for sharing and Q&A.

The goal is to make PI less scary and more fun for all interested D.A. members, allowing all of us easy access to this vital component of our 12th Step.

Join the next call on Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 8:30 p.m. Eastern. Click here for details and to download a flyer to share with your group.
