When You Think of the Words Spirituality and Entrepreneur Together, What Comes to Mind?

Let me guess -  somebody walking around in la la land?

It’s getting awfully woo-woo and airy-fairy around here – right?

Not exactly.

Don’t let the touchy-feely implications fool you. As an entrepreneur, I am a rubber-meets-the-road, performance and productivity stickler!

When I left the corporate world, I traded in my MBO (Management By Objectives) for MYE (Managing Your Energy) because it gets more, better and faster results.

As it happens, it is also much more fun, along with being a better, more wholesome and satisfying way to live!

I did my time in corporate America as a high-powered business executive. Today, I’m coaching my former colleagues (for $500 an hour and up!) on how to explode their businesses and income by activating the spiritual energy of their thoughts, feelings and actions.

Spirituality and business have long been held as fragmented: there was spirituality, and there was business.
Today, I see the two starting to come together.

People are getting out of the box of seeing spirituality purely as religiosity, and are seeing it more as being conscious in terms of how their being in the world impacts all aspects of their lives.

It’s no longer a matter of being one person at home, another person in church and still another person in business. I see a blending happening, which is very encouraging!

I’ll often see the head of the corporation, a very senior executive, or a powerful entrepreneur who is himself on a path of personal growth, reading spiritually related books and wondering, “How do I put this into place in our organization?”

These people are already implementing the tools or processes from various philosophies or personal growth books and are seeing them make positive changes in their own lives – helping them see things in a new way and have different kinds of experiences.

They want the same thing for their organizations, and simply don’t know how to do it.

In some cases, the people who come to see me are simply looking for a way to help their people be more empowered. I help people activate their ability to self-coach – I call it “connecting with your inner coach.”

This means learning skills that are going to make people more effective team players, whether in the organization or in their home, so companies can readily see the value of it.

It’s similar to when “stress management” was the big thing in corporations; in the 80′s, everybody wanted to do stress management. Read more

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

What Does Being a Spiritual Entrepreneur Mean to You?

My colleague, Chuck Abbott, joined me on a teleclass I held recently for Spiritualpreneurs. 

On the call I talked about what it means to be a Spiritualpreneur and how it can recession-proof your business.

I also had the great privilege of having 4 very successful Spiritualpreneurs join me to discuss what being a Spiritualpreneur means to them, and how it has helped them to succeed wildly in spite of all that has been going on in the economy lately!

Chuck Abbott, top Marketing Trainer, was one of the experts on my call.

Here is what he has to say about  what being a Spiritualpreneur means to him, along with his advice on something you can do to accelerate your success as an entrepreneur:

I’m married and I have 4 very active, very involved kids.  Before I started with my own business, I was working in a job that on the surface most people would probably look at as a dream job.

But, there was a really huge cost associated with it.

I was working for a very large consulting firm and I had a specialty that was in very high demand.  And while this meant that I was making more in a year than some people make in an entire lifetime, it also meant that I had to go where the work was needed.

That meant jumping on a plane, traveling the globe, and taking me away from my family, sometimes for long periods at a time.

Though it looked like I was living the American dream, I was missing out on so much – and not really living out my dream.

After what seemed like the hundredth time (and probably more), of one of my children telling me, “Oh you missed our school play”, or the open house or whatever was coming up for them, I finally said, “Enough is enough!”

Most people in my position probably would have gone to their boss, asked to scale back, and found a way to juggle the 2 roles.  But I don’t really believe in doing anything less than 100%, so I decided, “I’ll just quit”, and walked away.

I’m sure my friends and family thought I was nuts, and they may be partially right there!

I was walking away from a very high-paying job that offered a lot of security – but I had to do what was right for me and my family.

So there I am – I have no job, no money coming in and no real plan on what I needed or wanted to do. I had the confidence because I had been successful, and I said, “I’m gonna run my own business – this’ll be a piece of cake!”

Well, obviously, that couldn’t have been a more wrong statement!  Read more

Do You Have a Vision for Your Own Business?

I had the privilege of speaking with some amazing Spiritualpreneurs on a teleclass I held the other night, and one of the them was Bill White, the Synchronicity Expert.

I asked him to share about being a Spiritualpreneur and how that has helped him to recession-proof his business, along with what tip he could offer to you for your own business.

Here’s what he had to say:

I came from a background in advertising, and as a result I was used to working 70 – 100 hours a week year round.  So when I decided to go into business for myself, one of the biggest things that I was doing was running from my career – because I was just exhausted!

In advertising, we had such an emphasis on persuasion – trying to hammer, hammer, hammer a sales decision into the mind of a client – and I carried some of that with me originally in my business.

But when I started to realize that serving the customer was not about persuasion, and I started to shift that emphasis, that’s where I really began to see my own business grow.

I was doing a lot of the blueprinting process of:

• What do I want to do?
• And how do I want to do it?

But I started applying that also not just to ideal clients but to vendors and partners as well. So I would write job descriptions of the partners or the vendors that I needed, and start setting my intention on that.

That’s really when I started to see my business grow, because I started to draw to me the people who I could serve and be served by the best, and it became a fair energy exchange.

One thing that I would suggest for a tip that really helped me a lot: Read more

Interested in Some Great Advice for the Conscious Entrepreneur?

Well last night I had the privilege of hosting an amazing call for the conscious entrepreneur to come on and hear more about the Spiritualpreneur awakening and how it can make such a huge difference in recession-proofing your business and your life.

I also had the honor of hosting a special expert panel on the call that was there to give their insights on what it means to do business at this level.

These folks have mastered using an Inner and Outer approach to becoming Spiritualpreneurs in their business with great success, and they graciously shared their wisdom on the call.

Along with me, the experts that joined me on this call really want to see you succeed and flourish as an entrepreneur, and I was so excited to be able to partner with them in this way to be able to offer this guidance to you on your own journey.

If you weren’t able to be on the call, I’ll be providing some of what they had to say right here in the blog for the next couple of days.

One of the experts on the call last night was Ken Foster of the Shared Vision Network – you can read what he had to say about his own beginning as a Spiritualpreneur, and something that he does every day that brings success to his business.

As an Entrepreneur in 2009, Will You be Part of the Change?

“I come from a very practical and analytical background and thus evaluated your approach with great scrutiny.

“Business action coupled with spiritual principles catapults participants to a very powerful level of prosperity and well being. How fantastic for those who have you in their corner. Priceless!”

- Joanne Roibu, Founder www.LifeMasteryGuide.com

At Coaching From Spirit during this inspiring year of 2009, everything I do this year is going to be like a Reality-TV show.

As you can see from what Joanne has to say, this is all about a process that can be observed, tested, and found true, and that is what I want to offer you this year as an entrepreneur.

I am excited to have you be a part of the Spiritualpreneurs journey this year – I want to show you what worked, what didn’t work, the tools I used and how they were used.

As an entrepreneur, you are your own case study.

President Obama says, “Be part of the change.” At Coaching From Spirit, I have made a commitment to being part of the change, and I invite you to come along on this journey and be a part of it all with me.

I believe that part of world transformation is to help Spiritualpreneurs become financially free, and I can show you how to do that! Read more
