Fear, resistance and failure and central to your success as an entrepreneur. In fact, if you can embrace these feelings and actions, then you may be on the verge of a business breakthrough – and a spiritual one, too.
It may sound counterintuitive, but fear, resistance and failure are central to your success as an entrepreneur! In fact, if you can embrace these feelings and actions, then you may be on the verge of a business breakthrough – and a spiritual one, too.
Let’s face it, all entrepreneurs, no matter how successful they are, hit a rough patch now and then. This is something I like to call the “dark-night-of-the-business-soul.” Believe me, I know – because I’ve been there myself (more than once!)
Does this sound at all familiar? You’re procrastinating big tasks that are central to your success; you’re spending a lot of time networking, but have too few clients to show for it (you’re having trouble “selling” yourself); your head and heart are often in conflict; and most importantly, you are just not having fun anymore? If you said yes to any of these, then you are likely suffering from “dark nights.”
I’ve seen so many people struggling recently with these “dark nights” – believe me, you are not alone. So how do you get past them? It’s all about starting from the inside out and defining what it is that you really want to do. It’s about finding the clarity you need to define your business strategy and “leap frog” forward.
My entire journey as an entrepreneur has been about integrating my spiritual understanding with my professional knowledge. When those two things merge, magic happens. I feel whole and complete, I don’t worry, I have confidence, I offer products that resonate with people, and people invest a lot of money in my programs.
If you can learn embrace your failures, use them to your advantage and take the next step forward, it will be like entering a wormhole and coming out five years in the future living the life – and running the business – of your dreams. If you can face these “dark nights” head on, learn from them and break through them, you are on the verge of a massive, life and business-changing experience that will change everything.
Entrepreneurship – The Road Less Traveled
I believe that life is a journey, and just like any journey, it has some bumps in the road along the way. For me, those “bumps” came in the form of three layoffs in two years. I thought, “This is my life. I need to create a way for it to support me and bring me freedom and joy.” So… I started on that journey of entrepreneurship.What I Learned From A Glitch – And A Rabbit
How did I learn how vital it is to be conscious about your marketing? By working with entrepreneurs! In fact, it's the core strategy behind what I teach, and it’s why I named my business Conscious Marketing. But here's where my head got in the way of my heart: I had an extensive marketing background. I played hardball with some of the top advertising agencies. I thought I had it going on! I didn't think I needed any help from a coach or a mentor, because I already had all the answers. I was wrong.Everyone Needs a Soapbox!
I was kicked out of corporate America. Literally. I was let go three times in two years! It was difficult at the time, but now I see - the struggle had a purpose. Because of that trial, I found my true calling: helping business owners find their voice, get on that soapbox, and attract in their ideal clients like moths to light.
