Are You an Entrepreneur Who Wants to Build & Expand Your Business in a New Way?

When I was working in sales in the corporate world, I was very good at what I did.  I rose to the top of the company, and I was asked to train others in my skills as well.

But I wasn’t happy.  I felt like I was selling my soul for a paycheck!

I wanted something different…

If you’re a Spiritualpreneur like I am, you want more in your life.

You want health, balance, and a greater sense of collaboration and connection in your work.

The way to achieving this?  I discovered when I left my corporate career that it is all about using an Inner and Outer approach as an entrepreneur.

If you:

• Want to operate on a conscious level by bringing enduring transformation into the world
• Read books and watch movies that introduce you to spiritual universal principles
• Want to learn how to attract more of what you want
• Want to have more power within you and a vision of a business that fits you

You are ready to embark on an entrepreneur journey that will not only let you feel good about what you are doing with your business, but that will actually recession-proof your business as well!

Many of you want to apply these principles in your business, but don’t know how.

You feel that the old ways of doing things don’t support you.  The old ways of doing business and marketing by selling with hype and bullying people into taking action doesn’t feel good to you.

Maybe you even think that something is wrong with you since you feel that resistance! Read more

Do You Know What is Unique About Your Own Business?

One of my favorite clients was a Minnesota family that owned a small car repair business.  When I was helping them explore and identify their uniqueness, they told me that they didn’t have anything that made them particularly unique.

Upon digging deeper, they shared that it was very important to them that their customers felt like family.

So they put homemade cookies on the car seat when the car was fixed, so that when you picked up your car, you got warm, fresh, home-baked sweets.

They would also pick up their customers and drive you to where they wanted to go while they fixed their cars. They even gave their customers a loaner car while they were doing repairs. They thought everyone did this, so they didn’t see it as unique!

They were genuinely caring, hospitable people who treated everyone like family.  Thus, who they are and what they have provided ever since they created their business 20 years ago became their Unique Serving Offer (USO).

“Joe’s auto repair shop, where we treat you like family – We pick you up, drop you off and leave fresh baked cookies on your car seat.”

How Will Your Own Business Change When You Have a True Sense of Those That You Want to Serve?

Do you have a sense of your Ideal Client activated in you?

Do you have an understanding of how important it is in your own business to KNOW who your Ideal client is?

Try the following visioning exercise that will help you understand how really knowing and activating from an Inner level who your ideal client is and how you are going to work with them can be incredibly powerful in your business:

Imagine what you will feel like when you are reaching ten new people a week. Feel the energy of this – sense the energy and let it become a part of you now.

How will your life change when you reach this many?

Now, imagine 25 new people a week with your work.  You may be doing your work in a whole different way as you are reaching more and more people.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by this idea, just know that the ways you will leverage and systemize what you’ll be doing and the ways that you’ll be reaching out to people will absolute fit for you so you’ll have balance and joy.

Continue imagining and feeling more and more…50…100…even more people.

Feel yourself smiling as the lights easily go on.  Imagine testimonials flowing in and people loving your work – and you – and telling many, many others about you. Read more

How Important is it For You to Truly Believe in Serving the Clients of Your Own Business?

I’m somewhat later than usual in posting the blog today, but I must say that I have A LOT to share!

First, you have to read this story:

“A few years ago I sat down with a man named Ron Post.  Ron was about to retire from a ministry he had started 20 years before called Northwest Medical Teams.  Northwest Medical Teams is an aid organization that sends doctors to volatile regions in the world to help the sick and dying.

…I asked Ron questions about how he had built his eighty-million-dollars-per-year ministry, with 98% of the money going directly to the work being done in the field.  I asked him how he structured his time, how he delegated responsibility, and finally asked him what was the key to his success.

To answer the last question, Ron pulled from his pocket a tattered envelope filled with pictures.

For the rest of the meeting, the man laid down pictures of people he had met, the first of which was a young Cambodian woman who, at the age of 13, was being used as a sex slave to the Khmer Rouge.  He told me they had rescued her from captivity and given her a new life…

As he showed me picture after picture of blind people who, because of a simple surgery, could now see, crippled people who could walk, the starving who had been fed, he told me their names.  He knew their names, every one of them. I had asked the man what the key to his successful ministry was, and he told me through his stories the key to his multimillion dollar ministry was a love of people.”

What if the way that you see the customers and clients of your own business could be similar to the way that minister saw the people that he was serving?
