Holistic Entrepreneurs

There is a growing trend among entrepreneurs, business people, leader and corporate management in approaching a holistic approach to their busy lifestyles.

Holistic entrepreneurs heart centered business higher productivity numbers up

Years in the making, the aggressive climb-the-corporate-ladder professionals are finding their achievement of the summit of their driving goals and fervent determination less satisfying than they had expected.

You can have everything… the home, the family, the cars, the boat(s), luxury vacations and lifestyle, yet it leaves one wanting more… Not more in the sense of material things, but more in terms of what might be more meaningful from within.

It’s as if the definition of success is in the process of being redefined. Accumulation of wealth is still the most common measurement of success, but within the ranks of the most successful people in the world there is a yearning to find greater meaning and satisfaction in what this life’s journey has to offer.

In an effort to offer socially relevant expressions of gratitude, philanthropy became more popular among the most affluent business people. Exercising the philanthropic good deed of giving back, or helping others less fortunate, by creating not-for-profit entities in an effort to help make the world a better place.

While this has been noteworthy and has helped the world in many ways, with each entrepreneur expressing their concerns, beliefs and promoting their personal points of view, backed by their own financing… still, inside there is a longing for something more.

THE SHIFT

The shift in modern business and corporate circles is less a devil-may-care guerilla approach to dominating one’s field of influence with every ounce of effort possible, and moving more toward a personal, spiritual and planetary balanced approach to success.

This is promoting a more holistic approach to business and corporate lifestyles, demonstrated by skilled professionals seeking more personal quality of life while they pursue their passions and dreams simultaneously. They are expanding their minds, bodies and souls as they continue to build their professional careers… And the results are astounding.

Having a sense of inner wellness and feeling as though one is a part of a greater whole and embracing the we’re-all-in-this-together approach to business, instead of the us-against-them approach of business warfare is paying off – not only in the lives of the business people approaching their careers in this manner – but it is having a positive impact of the entire capitalistic environment.

Business culture is in a stage of metamorphosis, from strict micromanagement to a culture of mutual benefit and increased workplace satisfaction, and as a surprise to the old-school management – who projected certain failure for “going soft” – the levels of productivity is on the increase.

This approach is counter-intuitive to our parent’s generation that demanded selfless submission to the business. And if your selfless commitment and dedication wavered, in any way, there was someone on the rung of the ladder just beneath you, willing and able to take your place.

As professionals are embracing a heart centered approach to business practices, feeling better within, able to freely express themselves, and encouraged to seek their own personal satisfaction (with support of the corporation) both the ability and desire to better serve the (business) community increases, resulting in higher production numbers due to heightened levels of integrity, intuition and imagination.

The top entrepreneurs and leaders are seeking greater meaning, and as they do so, this care and compassion for themselves and others is spreading like a virus, infecting the entire organization in this phase of business evolution taking place before our very eyes.

Instead of

What Can I Get?

The trend is

How Can I Serve?

From a place of inner peace and a desire to make the world a better place, we are able to witness – what could very well be – the greatest advancement in a capitalistic society.

Stranger in a Strange Land Syndrome

The people I attract who become my clients are clearly not a part of the rest of the pack. They don’t fit-in with the majority of the folks who accept performing little more than their allotted function within our societal structure.

Individuals that I work with want something more… and they know (though they may not be able to put their finger on what it is) that something’s just not right with the widely accepted cover story.

Thought leaders dont fit in like a stranger in a strange land

They suffer from what I call the Stranger-in-a-strange-land-syndrome (SIASLS). Something inside them intrinsically recognizes that there is so much more to this life than we are led to believe. These people are attracted to me because I, too, suffer from SIASLS, and to say the very least, we all feel like we just don’t fit in with the status quo.

People who have SIASLS feel as though they are “Strangers” called to a higher purpose and function in this life. Fortunately, I possess a wide variety of skills and abilities that I offer my clients in their quest to achieve their highest and best, a small (but growing) percentage of these individuals fit somewhere among the SIASLS spectrum.

Strangers suffer from

Not fitting in: Though some Strangers can blend-in quite well, it takes a considerable amount of energy and effort to do so.

Rebellious: Knowing that there is something more, makes one resistant from being told what to do, what to believe or accept as, “normal.”

Burning and yearning: A message burning within them and a yearning to share this message with the world.

Service: Strangers have a desire to help others less fortunate, or struggling to get along amidst their life’s journey and may be more inclined to put themselves at risk for the greater good.

Problem-solvers: Since strangers often can see things from a broader perspective, they have the unique ability to make connections that are not obvious to others, allowing them to come to conclusions and solve problems with creative solutions.

A Better World: Belief in the possibility to experience a better world imbues them with the desire to do their part to help create a better world.

Fulfillment: They seek to do what they feel is “the right thing” to do for them. Doing so gives them a more satisfying sense of fulfillment by being true to their purpose, calling and message.

Freedom: They find it difficult to accept the socially accepted definition of freedom and believe that more freedom is available.

Happiness: Strangers are intrinsically aware that feeling good exponentially can lead to higher levels of joy and believe it is within our grasp.

Quality of life: They seek something more out of life than a good job and some retirement.

Who Are the Strangers in a Strange Land?

You find them excelling in professions that are congruent with the lives that they live, like Artists, Authors, Clergy, Entrepreneurs, Inventors, Motivators, Social workers, Speakers, Thought leaders, Visionaries… and a host of other occupations where they can feel free to exercise their unique skills and abilities.

Hidden Strangers

There are far more Strangers among us than we know. Their presence has been subdued by a life of social programming in an effort to help “make them normal” or encourage them to blend in with others.

The process starts at a very young age and continues through life and is sometimes accompanied by therapy and prescription drug intervention… anything to squelch the Stranger within.

I am so blessed in my work, when I am found by the hidden Stranger and able to help them to embrace their Stranger in a Strange Land and empower them to find peace and help encouraging them to sing their song.

You don’t need to hide

You are not alone

 

Spiritual Growth and Business

I love that spiritual growth is – and has always been – a part of everything that I do.

I am so blessed to have started out in the spiritual growth business effectively coaching, consulting and counseling right out of the gate, following high school.

As my life’s journey has taken me here and there, along a winding road including uncharted territory no matter what life circumstance prevailed, I have always been fortunate to exercise my life’s work: To help people achieve their highest and best.

Spiritual growth businesses spirit led entrepreneurs

As my focus is favoring entrepreneurs, I find that the professional who are attracted to me have a similar vibration. While they all have very different areas of concentration, they are all individuals who are also on their own spiritual journeys.

There appears to be a growing trend for entrepreneurs engaging in life from a spiritual perspective, conducting business, communicating and connecting with their audience heart-to-heart. It has been a long time coming, and I am pleased to see this transformation taking place.

I am so grateful to have a wide variety of skills and modalities that help me to instantly address any challenges that arise in-the-moment so as not to cause much delay in the success paths in full swing in the lives of my clients.

It’s as if those who have chosen to answer the call and pursue their life’s mission with passion and fortitude are more likely to encounter challenges and obstacles that other folks do not have to deal with (which could be part of The Greatest Conspiracy). These interruptions could be roadblocks, detours or bridges, depending on how you deal with them. They can cover all areas of life, including business, branding, marketing, health, wellness, and relationships that are professional, familial, personal and romantic.

An individual on a path of spiritual growth has access to the power of the universe to overcome anything this life throws at you along one’s life journey. Which is one reason why spiritual entrepreneurs may experience more success than other business people.

Those whose businesses include sharing their personal message of spiritual growth and commitment to impact the world share a common vibration with me as we work and grow together.

I enthusiastically encourage my clients to sing their song and share their message with the world via printed word.

And as I help them my clients achieve their business goals, we also continue to grow spiritually and independently, with common goal of desiring to have a positive impact on the earth, making our planet a better place and leaving a better world for future generations.

As my ministry continues to grow, as well as those of my clients, I am seeing a metamorphosis take place as I see my opportunities to help more people continue to increase. I am seeing a trend of moving toward more group environments and less one-on-one clientele.

In the last few years, I have been somewhat concerned that by limiting my ministry to serving individuals one-at-a-time, I have limited my impact. Encouraged by the growth of my clients, I am open to the opportunity to serve on an increased capacity.

I have no preconceived ideas about what the future will hold, only that I am open to the growth and change, willing to take action as the door open and the opportunities unfold, revealing the new paths that lay ahead.

Stay tuned (as I am attuned) and see what comes next…

Any ideas?

I’m forever growing and open, open, open…
