the observatory

One visits an observatory to step back, gain clarity, observe the bigger picture, and connect the dots that seem invisible from the ground.

You can benefit from visiting the observatory if you are:

  • losing sight of the bigger picture
  • overthinking the details
  • needing a perspective shift or fresh inspiration
  • wanting to start a new opportunity
  • wanting to connect scattered ideas into a cohesive whole
  • sensing that something new wants to emerge but aren't sure what yet

Keywords: ideas, possibilities, opportunities, future, perspective, foresight, clarity, discovery, imagination

The Dream Hall focuses on imagination, exploration, and curiosity. This hall encourages innovation and invites you to experiment with ideas or experiences.

ideas - sparking new ways of thinking

Your job is to find a sense of direction in the realm of imagination.

Current Obstacles:

  • "I struggle to think of ideas."
  • "My ideas feel overwhelming, disconnected, or scattered."

What have you felt moved, excited, or curious about lately, even if it seems tiny or insignificant?

Take a step back and clear the mind. Clarity can enter when we rest and create space for it.

Our natural curiosities and emotional spikes are asking us to explore without limits, even if the perspective doesn't make sense in the moment or seem productive. What draws our attention deserves our time and investment! When we engage with what moves us, ideas flow naturally, without force.

Notice any similar themes or patterns that surface.

What are the patterns or themes, whether they feel positive or negative, that we're noticing? They hold clues around what we are trying to express or solve.

possibilities - exploring paths ahead

Your job is to notice the openings and figure out which direction to move in.

Current Obstacles:

  • "I feel stuck and don't see a way forward or out."
  • "I struggle to choose between multiple options."

In quiet moments, let inspiration pull you in a certain direction.

Often times, the key to exploring possibilities is to take a step back and forget about it until the spark of aliveness pulls us forward. If we don't feel that spark, it's time for us to focus elsewhere for now.

What would you explore if you stopped needing it to be logical or safe?

Our fear of failure can present the illusion that certain paths are implausible or silly to even think about. If success were guaranteed, which path would feel the most enjoyable to pursue? We believe that all roads take us to the same outcome - each road is just a different adventure.

If all paths feel enticing, think about which which path matches your deepest "why." Why are you doing what you're doing? Our deepest "why" not only keeps us motivated to continue but also invites in endless purposeful opportunities.

opportunities: finding chances to act

Your job is to recognize when to make a move, even if the outcome is uncertain.

Current Obstacles:

  • "I struggle to see the right opportunities or any opportunities at all.
  • "I am struggling to make a move."

How confident are you in succeeding?

The fear of failure (or fear in general) can mask the feeling of aliveness.

See if there are any fears or limiting beliefs that keep you from feeling confident in successful outcomes. If you knew you couldn't fail - that success is guaranteed - which direction would appeal to you the most?

Remember that all roads lead to your desired outcomes!

Success is guaranteed if we keep going, but the journey that we take to get there is up to us! If we follow that feeling of moment-to-moment curiosity - going down that true crime rabbit hole, walking a different route than normal, taking time off to create art - we know that we are making the right move.

Walk the road that would give you the deepest sense of enjoyment, and make decisions with a mindset of abundance.

future: envisioning what lies ahead

Your job is to imagine the long-term horizon and the direction you could take.

Current Obstacles:

  • "I struggle to envision what comes next."
  • "I feel overwhelmed by uncertainty."
  • "I don't trust that my future will be successful."

How do you want to feel as your future self, living your ideal life?

It might be difficult to envision the specific, physical aspects of what we want our future to look like. Instead, we can imagine how we want to feel.

Do you want to feel powerful, confident, and assertive? To feel connected to many people? To feel at peace? To feel wealthy?

What actions could you take now that bring that feeling into the here and now?

Uncertainty is a natural part of the process, as so much of the future is out of our control. By focusing on feeling successful now without external validation, we can see what truly matters to us. We just need to believe that we are capable of achieving our dreams, no matter what path we take.

brainstorming business ideas

You can think about your brand as both your personality and the impact you leave on others.

Your authentic self is your authentic impact.

  • You can embody the themes of the observatory in your personality.
  • You can embody the themes of the observatory as a foundation to build any area of your work (or life).
  • You can make your audience aware of the themes of the observatory.
  • You can inspire others to also embody the themes of the observatory.
Ask yourself these questions:
  1. Check the keywords above to see if they naturally align with you.
  2. Think of activities you love / might love to do - could you pursue them from the value set that the observatory represents?
  3. Close your eyes and imagine how it would feel to bring people to your observatory.
  • Does it feel fulfilling for you? If so, why? If not, why not?
  • How are others affected by your observatory?
  • Can you see yourself growing both more comfortable and more curious in this role?
You can use any / all spaces as a foundation for your business and life. A space can represent:
  • the foundation that your business is built upon
  • a guide for you to make decisions
  • a temporary or permanent foundation
  • a framework you use for certain processes only
  • how you want to show up in the world
  • how you want to impact others
  • the values that you want to integrate
Why are doll halls so important?

The more clear we are on the role we want to embody & play in the lives of others, the easier it is to give our business a sense of direction and purpose. This is the purpose that grounds us on our path and helps us overcome the challenges that come our way.

As we evolve, we may want to explore other spaces or just remind ourselves what our center is made of. We can lean into these archetypes at any point, whether we commit to just one, are drawn to several, or shift into all of them.

Here are the other tools you can use to start building your business:
