Be Careful Who You Call "Role Model"

#rolemodels #inspiration #businessowners #newperspective #thoughtfulmonday

As a business owner, whether you have employees or not, it is a lonely journey...

A journey that can be filled with bumps, bruises, shattered egos (which if you are a Christian like me stands for Edging God Out) and foggy futures.

Yes, being a business owner can be like.... What the heck am I doing!? Is this worth it?

And so we turn to role models in business that give us external inspiration.

External Inspiration is dangerous.

External inspiration causes us to change the fabric of who we are for success that might not even be want we were meant to do here on this Earth. We sell our souls for dollars and recognition.

We follow fake role models for the aspect of being wanted or embraced as important or getting inspiration to move towards a pre-determined goal.

We must embrace internal inspiration.....

A New Direction

Internal inspiration is from a higher source - a deep peace and alignment within yourself that gives you a map for success based upon a focus of fulfilling a great assignment bigger than any goal or objective you may have.

Internal for me is God's hands on me. That is my version of role model. Role model of the backbone of my personal and professional life.

Whatever you believe in, let a spiritual guide be the anchor of your success, not an external role model that in essence, can disappoint us because, well they're human.

When your inspiriation is from within, nothing can be a disappointment. You will be fueled with a desire so deep that words can't describe - all because it is focused on fulfilling a mission, that ultimately you're in business for. Whatever that is for you - define it. Let it guide you and never waver from it.

Let's focus on 2022 and begin now to set these anchors of inspiration from within. For an external role model can be fake or inauthentic, giving you a false sense of identity and security in you, your beliefs and ultimately where you end up. And I'm in the business of helping business owners #findtheircompass #findyourcompass - from within!
