Leave the Loop Open
Because possibility (and greater profit) lives in the unsaid, the unfolding, and the sacred in-between.
I’ve developed a new obsession.
Not with conversions.
Not with productivity hacks.
Not even with revenue (though I still worship at the altar of sovereign profits).
No—what has my full attention lately are open loops.
Open doors.
Open minds.
Open hands.
Because closed loops kill magic.
They strangle mystery.
They exile the unexpected.
Possibility requires a little oxygen.
A pause between heartbeats.
A comma where the world insists on a period.
This is why I’ve come to loathe the tyranny of SMART goals.
Specific. Measurable. Achievable. Relevant. Time-bound.
So tidy. So final. So deathly still.
We’ve been taught that clarity creates safety.
But too often, what we call clarity is just control in a beige power suit and lipstick to match—quiet, tight-lipped, and deadly polite.
A performance of certainty to quiet our fear of the unknown.
We white-knuckle our timelines.
We build cages and call them containers.
We trade wonder for the illusion of mastery.
And in doing so, we forsake the wild grace of surprise.
We do this in business strategy.
We do this in sales.
We do this in how we love, how we ask, how we dream.
“This is what I’m selling.”
“This is what I want.”
“This is what success looks like.”
Closed. Done. Defined.
Period.
But what if we softened?
What if we let the sentence hang, just long enough for the Universe to enter?
What if instead of a final answer,
we left a whisper?
A wondering?
A door ajar?
The best things I’ve ever created didn’t come from a well-planned pitch.
They came from a flicker.
A yes that wasn’t fully formed.
A nudge from the divine that said, go a little further… you don’t need to know why yet.
A DM became a yearlong collaboration.
A casual question cracked open a $48K offer.
A “maybe we could…” turned into a movement that is rewriting the rules of profit.
I made a mistake recently—
Someone left a beautiful comment on one of my posts on LinkedIn.
And I replied with a very busy and reflexive “Thank you!”
Closed loop.
The conversation ended before it had a chance to become something more.
That moment reminded me:
Every reply can be a ritual.
Every interaction is a seed.
Every post is a portal.
So, I’m not leaving it there.
Before the sun sets today, I’m going to reopen the loop.
Because a closed loop isn’t closed forever.
Because possibility doesn’t disappear just because you missed the door the first time.
This work—the soul and science of money, the art of relationships, the magic of momentum—it’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being present.
Willing to notice.
Willing to return.
Willing to re-open the invitation.
This isn’t just personal growth.
This is business growth.
Open loops don’t just invite miracles, they invite clients, collaborators, and conversations you couldn’t have predicted.
So here’s your gentle provocation:
Where are you rushing to close the loop because uncertainty feels unsafe?
What could bloom if you left more space for the sacred unknown?
Where might your “clarity” actually be a form of control?
You don’t have to map the entire journey.
But you do have to leave the gate unlatched.
Let something wild wander in.
Try this:
Leave one loop open this week—on purpose.
Say yes before you're ready.
Instead of a call-to-action, offer an invitation: What do you need right now?
Ask a question you don’t already know the answer to.
See what finds its way back to you.
Let’s stop building boxes.
Let’s start building bridges.
Let’s leave the loop open—
and let the miracle find its way in.
PS:
I dare you to flirt with the unknown.
To fall in love with the unfinished sentence.
To cast your spell and then step back—just enough for it to breathe.
Because Profit is Protest—and so is reclaiming your right to be surprised.
