I Decided, Then It Existed—Live from Ghost Ranch

Recorded live from Ghost Ranch, NM.

Everyone thinks the opportunity is the thing. It’s not. The decision is.

What you decide—before it’s clear, before it’s confirmed—is what sets everything in motion to compound on your behalf.

This drop is about what happens when you decide first and let reality catch up after, and what it costs you when you don’t.

If this is how you move, book an Intensive: decide and we build it into existence.

Welcome to Business Priestess Activation, audio drops for mystics and business where entrepreneurship is ritual, strategy is soulcraft, and expansion is inevitable. I'm Elizabeth Rowan, spiritual mentor, yogi, and business priestess. Here we don't do formulas, we do fire. These transmissions are potent activations to ignite your long-term strategy, self-leadership, energetic mastery and embodiment, and lasting legacy in the world. Because your sacred work isn't just business, it's business and being. Let's begin. Welcome back, Priestess. Today is a special audio drop for you, in that I am coming to you from the high desert in New Mexico. This will undoubtedly be my favorite audio drop to date. I am hopeful it may also be yours. I wish you could hear a Voxer voice note I just left for my Fire of Transformation women about this. And I'm going to do my best to articulate much of that here for you today. Here I am coming to you from the high desert, and I mean that literally. Altitude, sun, moon overhead, dust storm, delayed my flight, all of it. And this place, if you know desert medicine, you know, strips everything to bone and truth. It's like I said in my Instagram live that I just did out here as well. Desert medicine to me is so much of you can run, but you can't hide. No performance, no hiding, real, raw, stripped, bare, just you, and what you and I are incarnated here to build. Okay, so some of you know this. My background spans art, art history. That was my previous career prior to teaching yoga and stepping into mentorship, spirituality, eco-psychology, and more. And for years I have known there is a very specific, highly niche intersection of all of that, not abstractly, very literally. And one of the places where that manifests into the material is at Ghost Ranch in beautiful Abbecue, New Mexico, where I sit today. This is a space devoted to art and art history, to land, to spirit, to history. The exact Venn diagram that I have built my life and work inside of over years, over decades. So I knew I am their Venn diagram, and they are mine. So the move. The going first of it all was this. I did what most people don't do. You live and work this way as well, which is how and why you are an entrepreneur, a spiritual business leader at the level where you are. So I did what most people don't do. I didn't wait to be discovered. I did not wait for a perfect introduction. I took probably a couple months to find the precise contact I needed to be in touch with there and spent a couple weeks crafting a pitch. This was around the holiday season, and I was snugged in winter solstice mode, working from the floor as I do at that time of year. And I sent it not overworked, not overpolished. The essence of knowing from my stripped bones, I am your Vin diagram. This was November, December adjacent. I didn't hear back immediately, imagined it would take some time, know that they have programming booked, months, sometimes years in advance. Day after Christmas, December 26th, a response. Not just acceptance of my pitch, expansion. I initially pitched a, I don't know, two to three hour experience of a signature offer of mine. We'll get into that. Their response. Would you like to facilitate a three-day immersion? Okay. What this really is. And this is where you might get it twisted because the opportunity here is actually not the story. The story is I moved on this before there was any guarantee that it would land. So listen to this. They said yes back in December. I am recording this to you today from New Mexico in April. I had months having their written invitation and acceptance of my pitch without a contract that I was waiting on. Now, before the contract was signed, before I received the contract, months before I hired my copywriter. I hired my web designer. I hired my brand designer. I started building the infrastructure. I mapped the initial discovery experience, and I mapped in part the ultimate experiential event that I'll facilitate later this year. All for something that technically didn't exist yet, because I nor they had signed on the dotted line. And in my work, I also booked a trip there. And that is the trip that I am recording this from to you today. Now, this is not risk for the sake of risk. This certainly was not being belligerently reckless or even particularly delusional. Rather, all of this I did as ritual. And if you are a regular listener, you already know if you and I are connected in any myriad of ways online. Certainly, if you are or have ever been a client, you already know I entirely conduct my business and my being for that matter with every intentionality as ritual, so that every material thing is actually serving a much greater, deeper, more profound, and powerful purpose. This was me meeting the work before asking anyone else to, because this is my standard. You don't wait until something is confirmed to start being the person who holds it. In fact, you start being the person who holds it, and then the opportunity, the invitation, the client arrives. We love to get that twisted and make things so tit for tat with the universe and highly conditional. If and when I receive fill in the blank, then I will embody the person who. Vision becomes decision, becomes structure that holds. This is architecture, what you're actually creating beyond a scattering of offers. This is who I work with in private one-on-one intensives. Intensives are not where we figure things out, throw spaghetti at the wall. No, it is very deliberate that anchoring the sword of your vision into the stone, this is where you move. Book your intensive at the link below in the show notes. Stay tuned for more about Ghost Ranch Supernatural Sutras a Solstice Initiation later this year, December 2026, with me at Abacue, New Mexico.
