What Your Business Wishes You Would Know About It (Part 1 of 3)

When you first went into business you had a plan. 

Even if your plan was only written on a paper napkin, or it only existed in your dreams. Nonetheless, there was a plan. There was a road ahead that you anticipated. There were steps you planned on taking to get there. 

And then you embarked on that plan. And you probably realized that your plan, and life's plan, were far from identical. 

Even the most successful businesses have their share of speed bumps and roadblocks. Yours is no different. 

You want it to be. You can see the possibility of what could be if things were smooth sailing. How much more it could grow. How expanded it could become. How good it could feel for things to be easy.  

Yet the inevitable roadblocks prevent "calm" and "business" from fitting together.

What if, however, what strips away your sense of calm isn't in the roadblocks; nor the uncertainty; nor the unexpected twists and turns your business takes?

What if the problem isn’t in the roadblocks, but in how you're seeing them?

The perspective I'm about to share to turn turbulence into happiness and ease isn't a massive shift. It’s a subtle, 1 degree perspective shift that will cause a 180 degree change for the better. Bear with me, however. Because at first it may seem off base, or pie in the sky. 

You know business is not just business. Business is humans. Business is innovation. Business is a constantly moving target of what was and what it is becoming. Business is what you make of it. 

Perhaps what used to work before in your business no longer does. Or maybe you’re entering a new market; developing a new product; or creating new positions within your company.

What changes things so that whatever direction you and your business are moving in are met with calm?

What is the key to happiness, when you know it’s a lie to say your business won’t have roadblocks? 

 (And yes, it definitely is a lie to say your business won’t have roadblocks.)

The shift? What is it?

The shift is in knowing that...

Your business is inherently spiritual.

Before I go any further, let me clarify. 

I don't care if you are "spiritual" or religious or if you are an atheist, agnostic, or something entirely different. 

Or rather, I do care, in a “that’s awesome to know what you stand for so that I can stand with you” way. 

However, this blog isn't about that, nor is it about convincing you to become any particular way. 

Once you’ve read and applied the 10 reasons I’m about to offer, your beliefs can stay exactly the same. 

What I'm about to describe is already intrinsic to your business. It’s already there, happening behind the scenes. It’s simply a matter of understanding them. 

What business owner, entrepreneur or executive doesn't want to understand their business better?

Running a "spiritual" business isn't something you can avoid. Though it is something you can more wholeheartedly choose and more consciously interact with –– the very essence and framework of your business is already spiritual.

Not relating to it as such would be like having a relationship with someone you refuse to get to know better. Like you, anyone you are in relationship with will always be evolving. Paying attention to your evolution but thinking you don’t need to know how the other person is evolving would be narcissistic or at very least, selfish. 

Shifting to seeing and relating to your business as spiritual is important, because the future of your business relies upon it. 

Your business will continue to have ups and downs. Stepping into realizing that your business is spiritual will help you understand those ups and downs. It will help you navigate them with ease. And it will take you from point A to point B each time your business grows or changes with more consistent happiness, direction, understanding of the bumps, and peace of mind.  

To help it all make sense, I’m going to give you 10 reasons your business is spiritual, and how knowing this will bring you peace of mind. 

I'll be doing this in a 3 part series. So after you take this part in, stay tuned for the next 2 parts of this series.

So here we go –– the first 2 of 10 reasons why your business is spiritual, and how knowing this will bring you peace of mind.   

1. Nothing is not spiritual.

Science has proven that everything is made up of the same energy. You and I are made up of energy. The computer or phone you're reading this on is made up of energy. Science has also proven that there’s a core way in which all energy is the same. This means that you, and everything inside of your business are made up of the same thing.

Society teaches us that spirituality is separate from other parts of life –– as if it's a vacuum, or something we can dip in and out of.

This is simply not the case. Everything is spiritual. Nothing is not.

If you’d like to look at this differently and say that nothing is spiritual and everything is not, that’s perfectly fine, too. If that’s your preference, go ahead and replace the word “spiritual” in this post (and the next) with the word “energy.” 

What matters is realizing that everything is energy, and therefore your business is energy. 

The beauty of this? When the separation fades, our personal development and our business development become connected. You become open to seeing the issues in you and the issues in your business as connected. 

In this connection between you and your business, power and possibility form. 

2. Creation is at the core of your business.

No matter what it was that drove you to your career or business, there was an outcome you wanted to achieve. That outcome could be a purpose to fulfill, it could be money, it could be to prove something to yourself, or to bring a product to the world you wanted to see created.

Whatever your reason, that outcome you wanted to achieve was and still is, about creating something.

Everything we create is born first from inside of us, and then brought out into the world.

Everything we create takes on its own trajectory of growth that we cannot completely control. 

Creation has basic principles that are based upon surrender and choice. Understanding, applying, and developing powerful navigation of these two principles will help you learn to navigate the sometimes murky waters of your business. It will bring you calm in the storm, clarity in confusion, and change when needed. 

To be able to change things in a desired direction, however, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Stay tuned for reasons 3-10 of why your business is spiritual, and how knowing this will bring you peace of mind.  

But first, tell me how your business feels creative to you? Whatever it is you do or your business does, what is intrinsically creative about it?

Create-ive –– meaning based upon creating something.

I’d love to hear about how your business or work is creative in the comments.
