Rock Star Identity Work { version 1: explained with teapots }

Published on 11 January 202411 January 2024 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

Depending on how you look at it, this very first post-to-be-turned-into-page-someday, about “Rock Star Identity Work” is either:
– premature
Since the best analogy I have come up with, the first way to explain the method that makes it more tangible less abstract, is an analogy about about tea and a teapot.
Which is way too uncool to sell something with the word Rock Star in it
-or obsolete
Because I never started with this theoretic concept, but this concept describes best what I DO. And what I think other methods do not do. So the theory behind it (Rock Star Identity Work) has been created as a label for something I have been doing instinctively and have recognized as my truth, since the 20th century.

So if you can get past these objections let me explain what Rock Star Identity Work is, and why it is the basis of the yoga workshops, as well as all the mentoring at Catacombe, and in particular of the 3 hour session “The Rock Star” which I always highlight at the bottom of every post.

Rock Star Identity Work means that instead of looking for guidance or change in what it is you do, or want to be doing (compare it to the idea of “doing what you love”, “follow your heart”, “do the work you’re passionate about”), you start with WHO you need to be, to let that work be of service.

Your passion can be baking bread, but in order for that to make a living, you have to embody/ be, someone who can serve bread.
You have to be a teapot, not keep fussing over the tea.

The tea will be there. You love making tea, you can’t NOT make tea, and not a day goes by without you watching TikTok videos about the most exotic teas, about tea competitions, watch what other tea connaisseurs are doing, and so on.
The tea stuff, the bread baking stuff, the you making music stuff, or the me teaching yoga stuff;
That is not where the problem lies, my friends.
Nor the opportunities, which is even more relevant.
Let the tea take care of itself, you will never be a day without it, we know that.

But the teapot on the other hand? Oh, that is where the problems are!
Because we have to find/ embody, a teapot that is not just big enough and with the right characteristics to hold, keep warm, and serve the tea;
The tea pot also has to be appealing to the ones we’re serving the tea to.

And people change, tastes change. Both us as well as our clients can change, so maybe we start being crackly teapots, spilling the tea. Or maybe our type of teapot goes out of fashion.

The chances that our teapot, representing the way we offer tea (our art, our services, our products), is no longer en vogue are higher than the chance of the actual beverage in the teapot no longer being in fashion.

Rock Star Identity Work means in an abstract sense, that you first adopt or step into your Rock Star persona, and THEN, you align your business and art, and everything you do accordingly.

In the analogy of the teapot, it means you first focus on what type of teapot you really feel at home at being.
What container would you like to be?
A container that holds a beverage for thousands of thirsty runners?
Or one that serves tea for one or two, in a 60 minute tea ceremony?

The work you love doing cannot create the container for your work, anymore than tea can create the teapot to hold it.

Your yoga practice not working?
Rock Star Identity Work says:
Create a container by stepping into the identity, of being a yoga practitioner.

Your business not working?
Rock Star Identity Work says:
Step into the identity, of being an entrepreneur.

Your art not selling?
Rock Star Identity Work says:
Step into the identity, of being a successful artist.

On this website I continuously emphasize, that if you have a passion, work that flows out of you, and that you cannot NOT do;
That is your gold.
Your gift.
There is no doubt, in my mind at least, that that is the work you came here to do.

Your next step is to look for the right teapot, the right identity, to serve that tea, to show yourself to the world and that will serve your work, to your clients.

Most industries only have ONE type of teapot. So in yoga it’s group classes, meaning that all yoga teachers are almost conditioned to share their work in that way.
When a lot of yoga teachers would probably make way better teapots for private classes or teaching for organizations, or even better teapots to be Rock Stars who teach entire stadiums.
Yet teaching yoga classes for your local community was the only type of yoga teacher teapot any of us ever saw.
Even though, with regard to different yoga lineages, teacher trainings and yoga philosophies (how it should be taught) a multitude of different approaches existed.
There was diversity in the tea, but all teapots were expected to be the same: teapots that teach group classes in local communities.

Everything up until now, goes for any aspect of life; parenting, sporting, diets, your finances.
You need to resist focusing on the what or the how (the tea) and step into the identity, of the person who rocks that area of life, in the way you think it should be done.
And then the how, the what, will naturally flow from there.

But: If you want to be the actual Rock Star?!
Different rules apply!
Or not different rules, but then you have basically already decided on a set of values and principles.

Rock Stars embody freedom, Rock Stars are comfortable with big audiences, Rock Stars are confident!

So if you know, if you feel, that unless things get to that level?
You will feel constricted, small, stifled, inadequate.
Then you have your answer.

You need to be a Rock Star teapot.
A big bold teapot that can serve whatever the hell they please, and yet it will have people eager, to buy whatever it is they serve next.
And waiting for the encore.

THE ROCK STAR

THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session, for those who know that yes sure, they could totally be happy where they are, enjoy the moment and the small things;
They could also kick some ass, rule the world, and that sounds like more fun!

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book, email me at:

Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:

1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?

3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.

I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.

under chaos and mayhem your work gets better

There is a reason Rock Stars can get away with drugs, casual sex and all-night benders that would take the heart of us.

They’re doing exactly, what they’re here for.

—

As you may or may not know, I am a writer.

The “I am” can also come before a lot of professions, such as:
I am a yoga teacher.
I am an entrepreneur.
I am a mentor.
And all would be true.

But there are two reasons why “I am a writer” will always be more true than others.

One is because I will always write. It is unimaginable that I would stop it. Or it IS imaginable!
In theory it would be wise, desirable, practical and very, very welcome, if only it were possible, to stop writing…
Because I can’t, even if my life depended on it.
Which it might, because writing is causing a terrible strain. I know it is by far my most unhealthy habit. Which is why for me it is important to keep the rest of my life (as far as there is a rest!) as stress-free as I can, and do all within my might to get my lifestyle as healthy as possible.
I’m 51 and I’m still struggling, yet I know that if I don’t succeed, if I don’t find a way to somehow moderate and regulate my writing habits, it will cost me two decades of my life if not more.

Yet still, I cannot stop.

The second reason “I am a writer” holds more truth, is that even if I’m sick, sleep-deprived, broken-hearted, or all of the above, not only can I still write;
It actually gets better.

What’s the thing you will do until your dying breath?

don’t change the show, change your audience

You know whom you’re here to serve.

Which is exactly how you feel about them.

The title of today’s post is probably widespread wisdom, but I did not encounter it until I started studying small business marketing.
It must have been around 2012-ish.

I don’t know the exact date, because it wasn’t a conscious choice to start studying marketing, as opposed to my academic business studies, in the early 90s.
If you pick up studying a topic on internet, no starting dates are saved usually!
Nor do we know it will end up being THE topic! Or one of multiple, you will end up loving the most.

But I do know that the moment a business coach I followed (I think it was Marie Forleo) shared this wisdom:
“Don’t change the show, change your audience.”
It clicked.

It meant don’t change what you sell, change the people you sell it to.

There was something mesmerizing, about this idea of taking the bird’s view perspective of someone filling stadiums (which is my association with your “show”) and applying it to your small business.

It was a shift in perspective that not just gave you more confidence, and planted you firmly into your bigger entrepreneurial boots;
It was also an important time-saving, frustration-preventing, highest-work invoking guideline, for both the entrepreneur, or artist;
As well as for their ideal customer or fan!!

So do your work like people are defying waiting lines and dynamic pricing systems, to get hold of your services.

And give them what they came for;
A show to remember.

it’s resistance that creates the diamond | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 01 06

Published on 6 January 20246 January 2024 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

it’s resistance that creates the diamond

Two ways, to make good out of the so called bad.
A. Commit to a schedule, a process, a routine, a path you will stick to and be hellbent to go back to!
Or
B. Welcome all rejection, resistance and adversity.
And overcome.

About every four, five months, I cull my notebooks AND archive them.
I am in favor of keeping anything that allows you to track your development, and is a document of your personal history.

Cd collections which stopped growing around 2010;
A paper diary archive that has its own litters;
Heavy envelopes with letters, from when you lived abroad;
Holiday scrapbooks.

However, next to keeping consistent cover to cover diaries (or logs), which are indeed filed the moment they are full;
I also start, ink, scribble, use and then ghost notebooks with a vigor that easily allows for six, seven notebooks to be in use at once.

Until, at number 9, 10 or 15, I am like:
“That’s it! I’m cutting it to ONE!”
I never cut it to one but I do cull drastically.

And after such a pages cut-out and rebinding operation (I have a stationary collection that would be able to keep a 90s printing room running for a week) there is a deep satisfaction that the job is done.
All notes stored in their right chronological order.
Yet always that same question:

WHY did I write all this down?!
WHY was I so much in my head?
WHY was I bullet journaling and micro-managing my life, when in reality I do not have the personality to enforce productivity improvements nor to remember any of the profound insights.

So for all you avid planners yet never-follow-uppers:
All you writing downers yet never rereaders;
It’s method 2.

Collect rejections, embrace adversity, and lean into resistance.
Writing your adventures down afterwards, optional.

your game plan does not require the other to show up

You know your goal and your preferred way of getting there, spending as little resources as possible and picking up bonus points.
You have a plan B and you know the maximum you can afford to spend.

But what if others do not show up, to bargain?

My year did not exactly end the way I had hoped.
And even took a picture (definitely without any intention of ever sharing it publicly 😅) of my teary eyed snotty nosed, crying face, to remind myself how hard this thing had hit me.

Until the real message dropped in, of course:
My 2023 game plan had had holes the size of medium-sized trucks!

And I had, well, not so much refused to address them, because I had;
But my follow-up strategy when the opposing party did not show up to figure this out, had been absolutely non-existent…

I had fallen into the trap which has taken out some of the most talented and most promising players in very early stages of the game (and swallowed them whole) which is:
To count on the other player showing up to play.

To actually have a head full of brilliant strategies all mapped out for different occasions, and to then, when the other just isn’t there-
go blank.

Wait a little while longer.

Hear half-assed excuses a five year old could debunk, and still you’re not responding.
Head spinning with all the things you were going to say, but that are now nothing more but dead weight.
Pulling you down even further.

Trust me, for 2024?
If you’re a good player, and you know your goal?
Then you’ve GOT the big stuff!
And you’ve GOT the small stuff!
You CAN anticipate, shift, and adjust quicker than lightning, responding to whatever comes your way!

So for this year, make plans only for this;
What if nothing comes your way?

it is not their journey | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2023 12 29

Published on 29 December 202329 December 2023 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

it is not their journey

You did not just come with different talents, passions, personality, values and a vision which by definition does not match what those around you expect the future to hold.

You came wired with what’s needed to accomplish it.
—
There are two things you need to hear today, not one.

The first is that it is not their journey. It is not their life. The people around you are not the ones whose path this is, and to accomplish whatever it is you know you are.
And I know you get that, on an intellectual level.
But understand that it makes you different.
The thoughts you hold, the choices you make, the identity you carry, the way you see yourself.
It is different.
Do not, ever, waste time explaining or even analyzing this, anymore than the bear and the eagle would compare fishing techniques.

The second thing you need to hear today, is that despite not seeing your fishing techniques mirrored in others, receiving critique on them, or being blamed for not joining the fishing party that was organized and why are you never there;
Hold the course.

Because it, the thing that haunts you and that you know you must and cannot not do;
It IS not their journey.

But it is very much, undeniably, unmistakably and inevitably;
YOURS!

Now look on your back, what God gave you.

I know what you’re fishing for.

Published on 27 December 2023 by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

hold the course (you know this)

It’s advice given by many different teachers, using many different metaphors, but what it usually doesn’t say is WHY, you should hold the course.

The reason is, that doubting the course almost without exception, means you’re doubting the destination.

Never doubt your goal.
“And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made.”
(Michael Bernard Beckwith)

Today is one of the harder days for me to write. I live in the Netherlands, and we celebrate two days of Christmas, two and a half if you count Christmas Eve, so I have not been posting the past couple of days.
Not because I am principally against working through the holidays, but simply because there was no time, and because there was an incident where I live, which caused my most stressful night of the year.

So for better or for worse, I did not show up online this Christmas.
A questionable decision, in my case. And I would say in the case of every soul inspired entrepreneur or artist.
But why?

SHOULD, we show up for our audience or for our art every day?
Is it necessary for our survival to do so?
Are we slaves to the kick of being visible, or to selling, are we ruled by work?
No.

But what does happen, is that our goals are so ingrained with our moves, with our everyday showing up at our desk, in our studio, or work space;
That if we don’t do it, we lose touch with them.
Which in our case means we lose touch with our very soul.

So show up daily, hold the course by simply doing whatever it is you do.
And a way will be made.

there is an area where this does not intimidate you

A tangible area like an audio technician’s board;
Or software you master and where a new update would excite you;
Not throw you off track.

The abstract realms of money, ideas, concepts, creativity.

Or the planes of flesh, bone, blood and human emotions.

You can compare it to food, the way we choose it, the way we relate to it;
We can all eat fastfood.
Fast food does not require us to have anything in place in order to be able to receive it. It does not require knowledge nor context of the food, in order to be able to enjoy it.

We can consume it day after day, in different locations and of different providers, and still we would not encounter any situations where a lack of understanding would start to hinder us.

But if you would dissect the mind of a gastronomic expert, you would find a whole mental world with terms, cabinets, files, and vocabulary.
They are not just able to receive and enjoy a meal;
But they could name it, describe it, and then store the experience in their mental library.

You too, have an area where every time you do it, you add a layer to your own mental library.
As opposed to people for whom it is just a fastfood area of their life, you grow richer, with every encounter.

This is not just an indication of it being your purpose work;
The work that will never be matched by any other thing, unless it comes to you as naturally as this one did.

But this is also the place where your happiness lies.
Your, happiness.

create the biggest chunks of – everything!

I am not just talking about blowing up (as in enlarging, not as in taking down!) your actual work, your calling, your stage persona and your goals.

I’m talking about sitting with, and even creating, larger than life anything-
as a practice.
—
In my yoga classes, I often use a card deck called “Crazy Sexy Love Notes”, and one card says:
“Something bigger is on their way”
At which one of my students replied:
“Like what? My hips?”

And jokes aside, I am now at the point where I say:
Yes. Your hips.
My hips.

The clutter in my basement.
The piles of administrative load of which I have no idea where to begin.

But also:
Our dreams.
Our future.
Our values.

How can we expect to be comfortable and capable at handling big projects and just a big life in general, when on the other side of the spectrum we completely freak out, as soon as things start having considerable volume.
As soon as we hear something bigger, is on their way.

Lose your fear of size.
Train it.
Practice it.
Breathe through it.
Learn to be completely okay in the face of BIG things.

And then, even if it’s just a tiny bit, add to it….
Create something even bigger of the things that scare and intimidate you.

So that when the good stuff is on their way;
You know for a fact, you’re able to handle it.

THE ROCK STAR

.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session, for those who know the first step to a bigger, bolder life;
Is to get really comfortable, with anything bigger and bolder coming your way!

And The Rock Star is not for the faint of heart;
Not so much because of me (Suzanne Beenackers), but because you will automatically step into your bigger and bolder self because of making this choice.

You may even feel a power, that you did not know you had, just reading this sentence. Feel it? Let it grow, lean into it, trust it.

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com

Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/

Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.

I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.

It is up for you to take it.

stop apologizing for your art | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2023 12 18

stop apologizing for your art

You left the realm where you provided a service a long time ago.
And in all probability, you were never there in the first place.

Just that it seemed that way, because other people’s hands were going through the same motions.

—

One of the biggest misconception of all, and a tragedy in my opinion, is that the ones who have become one with their profession, with their area of expertise;
The ones who are known for what it is they do;
That they are in any way, still of the same plane, of what it is they do.

They are not.

If you would insist on putting them in a box, the skill this person does really well;
You’d find they combine plural areas of expertise.

That there is no One Thing, that made them into the face, benchmark or Rock Star of “their” industry.
There are several.

They weave skill, with meaning, with thinking;
They talk through their work louder, clearer and with a confidence not present in their everyday life.
A life they in all likeliness feel naked in, cannot wait to get away from, in order to bury themselves in what others think is their “work”.

By them, I mean you.

Stop apologizing for your art.
That’s why you keep coming back.
That’s why you love it more, than anything else in the world.

That’s why you’re better at it, than anyone else.

Yes, yes!
I know!
In ALL of its messiness and incomprehensible f* up ness….
All of its “why can’t I pick just one thing”-ness.

Stop, apologizing.

It’s the feature, not the bug.

Ready to see, accept and step into the fullness of, the fact that you’re an artist, and not a whatever the world thinks it is you do?
