Distrust In Business

I was looking through an old notebook the other day and stumbled upon a card someone had given me – and inside it said: Resurrect a childhood dream, let your passion take flight.

I kept the card on my desk and glanced at it throughout the day and then, it hit me, all the stuff’ that’s been up’ for me as of late, and the clarity that I’m receiving about my True Purpose, and the next phase of my own business, is something that I see others struggle with too which is: having an immense distrust in the true intentions of other people who are in business.

The card spurred some very old memories and reminded me that – ever since I can remember I’ve always had a passion for business it was (and is) – in my blood and I LOVE it.

So, it’s no coincidence that I went off to biz school, and then to Corporate America, and eventually decided to become an entrepreneur. And it’s been a beautiful, wonderful, challenging journey with lots of emotions and twists and turns which has contributed to tremendous personal growth as well as an immense spiritual awakening.

And through this spiritual awakening, and personal growth, lots of clarity, and lots of realization has come to the surface. And what I’ve realized is: my original LOVE for business was based on what I see as the TRUTH about why I believe that we’re in business to begin with which is: to serve others with our gifts and of course make a profit in doing so, while also growing personally, professionally, and spiritually in the process.

Yet, everyday, we’re all inudated with so much stuff’ that is screaming all the options available to help you succeed’, that it’s hard to decipher and determine who and what to trust. Do you agree?

And, in looking back, I can see that my own trust in business and what I see as its true intention, got covered by some serious muck as I took on many false beliefs around what others’ true intentions were with their businesses. Some of my false beliefs were: everyone is out to screw you’; they’re all crooks’, don’t trust anyone’. I can hear my Dad’s voice now as I type this, and God love him, he is right in many cases.

Yet, based on my love for business, I wanted to prove my elders wrong. So as I made my way in the business world, I became tremendously gifted at having lots of compassion, strategic forethought, and solving problems for people in an extraordinarily creative and consultative manner.

However, in that same quest to prove my false beliefs wrong, I also kept unconsciously collecting evidence to prove them right. Over the years, I’d get myself into situations whether personally or professionally where the whole they’re out to get you’ belief got proven right in one capacity or another.

I see now that my decisions were coming from a good place a place in me which wanted to believe that at the core people are good and not everyone is out to get you’, and that people really do have your best interests at heart.

And thank goodness as I’ve transformed my own false beliefs, I’m collecting more and more experiences and people in my life who I know have my best interests at heart and reinforce my true intention and mission with my own business: Live To Give!

And what I’ve learned through all of it, even some very expensive mistakes’ is this: My money is best spent with people who have the same value system that I do – they are in business for what I consider to be the right reasons’, and their main mission and intention is to help me find my own answers, rather than feeding me theirs.

It can be an endless trap constantly looking for the answers from someone else. You wind up continually buying paint for their paint brushes and masterpiece, rather than discovering your own true colors’ to paint your own.

There are plenty of people who will take your power, and your money, and show you the way’, their way’, which is fine in many cases, if that’s what you want.

But, if you’re a woman who knows she smart, knows she has tremendous creative gifts, and simply needs a way to get at them and express them, with lots of confidence and courage, then you don’t need an external plan, you need access to your own internal map.

That’s it, seriously.

You already have your own true colors’ within, the masterpiece may be lying dormant under some muck that got thrown on it throughout the years, but it’s there, and what’s also there is your own unique way’ of how you are uniquely designed to express it.

Sure, tactics and industry standards can help you, without a doubt, but you also have the power and smarts on your own to create new standards, new innovative ways’ of doing things, and new, unique ways of sharing your gifts within your own business all while helping people with sharing your gifts!

The entrepreneurial world needs new leaders new innovations new ideas – new businesses that are built on a value system of service and businesses that are run by powerful, smart, feminine women who have their hearts in the right place and who want to make a difference and be of great service while sharing the wealth in numerous ways.

Are you ready to join this the new generation of female entrepreneurs’ and design a business and a life that contributes to a new world a world that is full of meaning and overall fulfillment where you share your wealth not only for your own benefit but for the benefit of others?

If you feel the call in your heart, there is no better time then right now.

And, as always, its your choice.
