Today, I am thrilled to share something special with you. My first book, Sacred Business: Nine principles to transform yourself, redesign business & impact the world, is now available for pre-order. Eeek!
This book has been five years in the making. It is the culmination of my journey so far - personal and professional - and a manifesto for those who are ready to build businesses that thrive in alignment with life. Businesses that do not profit from extraction, but thrive from their contribution to humanity and the Earth. A Sacred Business is not just successful but regenerative, ethical and deeply fulfilling.
I truly believe business is an expression of sacred life - of humanity. Yet, it has lost its way. Perhaps business itself is crying out for liberation. Through our own awareness and transformation, we have the power to shift toward a new kind of abundance - one we have not yet seen. An abundance that arises when business and life thrive together.
This is a more holistic, healthy and fulfilling vision of success. A reconnection with our deepest selves, each other and the Earth. A realignment where serving life directly creates magnetic resonance, extraordinary impact and flourishing beyond imagination.
Business has the power to be regenerative, ethical and deeply fulfilling. But it must be sacred.
Frankly, the very future of humanity depends on it.
The opportunity to make this shift is ours. The responsibility of each and every one of us.
Who’s with me?
The idea to write this book first came to me in a forest in New Zealand, directly after a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreat. Sitting among towering trees in deep stillness, the message felt like it dropped in from the treetops:
“You need to write a book weaving together profound personal transformation with the transformation we need in business - for the sake of life on Earth.”
It felt less like an idea that came from me, and more like a calling that came through me. Instantly, I said “yes”.
Over the years that followed, I integrated insights from my own journey, the wisdom of visionary leaders, and the practical tools and strategies I’ve used in my work helping founders and CEOs create truly impactful businesses. The creation of this book goes beyond research; it is a lived experience, translated into text.
Even within the impact-driven space, I’ve seen leaders striving for change while still operating within the old paradigms of fear, scarcity, busyness, competition and control. For too long, business has been built on extraction and outdated models that harm people and the planet in the name of a narrow definition of success.
It became clear to me: true transformation must begin within each of us.
That is the foundation of Sacred Business.
This book is for entrepreneurs carving their own paths, leaders ready to redefine success, and pioneers who want to co-create a thriving, balanced future. It weaves deep personal transformation with pioneering business strategies - because real change starts from within and extends outwards into our ecosystems.
You will learn how to:
Move from pushing to attracting through purpose
Shift from competition to symbiosis
Lead with intuition instead of control
Align yourself and your business with Earth’s cycles
Transform fear and scarcity into expansive opportunities
Sacred Business is a practical, transformational guide filled with tools, real-life stories, exercises and life experiments that you can apply immediately. And you’ll find some bespoke art and poetry inside, because a business book doesn’t have to be dry!
As part of my community, I invite you to be among the first to pre-order. Your support at this stage is invaluable and makes a huge difference in ensuring this book reaches the people who need it most. It helps to send the signal to the world that the new way of doing business is emerging, now. By pre-ordering, you’re helping to birth this vision into a reality. I am deeply grateful to each of you.
This book exists because of the conversations we’ve shared, the collective wisdom we are cultivating, and the deep knowing that business can and must be done differently.
Welcome to the era of Sacred Business.
Thank you for being part of this. Together, we rise reconnected.
With awe and gratitude,
Nikki
