The 3 phases of setting up a Regenerative Business Model

Regenerative Business with Sam Garcia

It boggles my mind what a little bit of water and attention can do.

The land I live on is essentially a dessert. Not that it’s meant to be — Olowalu, on the West side of Maui 5 minutes south of Lahaina, used to be a breadfruit forest and considered a place of refuge (puʻu honua).

The waters in the streams and traditional waterways have been stolen and diverted for corporations, private use, and hotel lawns after the land was clear cut for the sandalwood industry and then sugarcane industry.

Now the land is like a dessert. The hills covered in golden dried grasses, and there are wildfires every year bringing destruction.

But in the last 12 months of living on this particular property here, and the last 24 months that my husband has been regenerating the land here — our few acres has transformed.

It struck me so intensely the other morning. Every morning I walk our dogs along a path that meanders through the hilled landscape. It’s a 45 minute walk there and back and when we cross back onto our property it’s like stepping through a veil. From dry dessert into lush forest.

And all it took was consistent attention, mulch, and water.

In feng shui, flowing water represents wealth.

A peaceful stream or river is like consistent money flowing into your business, and ponds and oceans are like the accrual of assets and wealth.

This mentally makes a lot of sense since in settings like these, water gives you your basic needs. Food. Sustenance. Safety (fire prevention).

So when business feels hard, when it feels dry like a dessert, remember that some water and attention can rehabilitate it pretty quickly.

Let’s look a little bit deeper into this process. First in terms of land, and then your business.
