What will it mean to you when you finally recognize, embrace and radiate your bright light in your business?
In the online world, there are many false fronts, empty promises, and scam artists. While learning the ropes as a virtual business owner, you may take a few detours and ego trips, in the search to find the way that works for you. When driven by your ego, your unconcsious needs will try to get met through external sources.
Know that all experiences serve your deeper growth to becoming an enlightened entrepreneur.
You often have to know your NO in order to find your Yes and that takes some experimentation. There are certainly many gurus who will sell you their opinion even though their approach may not work for you.In my 12+ years online, I have seen that one of the most challenging things to do is stay true to yourself,when the “world” will try to influence you into buying into material values, and the predominant energy has been that of the ego’s “getting mentality.”
To have a soul-aligned business, you must consciously decide to follow the beat of your inner compass (your heart and soul) and turn away from all that is not created from LOVE.
Learning to listen to, honor, and love yourself is often one of the spiritual lessons that comes from owning a business. Another lesson is learning to allow/let go. The biggest difference between a soul-based and ego-based business is your ability to surrender and let go. When you are relating to your clients and business on a soul level, you deeply realize that everything that happens is perfect in its own way. You start to recognize the perfection of everything that happens even when it does match your original vision.
When you surrender completely to what is; you allow for divine order and soul success. You get to enjoy more fun and fulfillment because in a soul-centered business, you are sharing from your heart, giving your gifts, simply because it feels good to do so.
Be Free to Be More of Who You Are
You also have access to a deep sense of freedom that permeates all moments. You become free to fully express your true self, and allow yourself to become a channel for the Divine. You know that even though your fingers may do the typing, inspiration is being downloaded from a
higher source.You work “in-spirit” and embody that in who you are and what you produce. And this feels like Bliss!
