What Your Business Wishes You Would Know About It (Part 2 of 3)

I’ve never been one to speak in absolutes. 

With life, the moment we deem anything to be ultimate truth we get smacked right in the face with something else about that truth that makes you question it.

I personally love this, because it makes me grow in my embrace of everything. It makes me stronger, more powerful, more open. And I’ve seen it do the same for my students and clients. 

So why is it that what we’re here talking about today could sound like an absolute? 

I mean, “10 Reasons Why Your Business is Inherently Spiritual” seems kind of like an absolute, doesn’t it? 

If you’ve already read Part 1 of this 3 part series (and if you haven’t, I invite you to do so now) you may realize that I view that which is “spiritual” as far from absolute.

Learning to see your business as spiritual is simply opening your eyes to that which it has been all along. Ever since inception; since idea, even. Understanding its true nature helps you to open to less absolutes, and more possibility. 

 And who doesn’t want infinite possibility leading the way in their business? 

So, without further ado, I give you Part 2 of 10 Reasons Why Your Business is Inherently Spiritual –– 

3. Money is a form of creation.

Business involves money. Whether it's a part of your desired outcome or not, money is something most of us require to live. It is what all businesses, even nonprofits, require to sustain and grow.

As with everything in your life, the money you have is born first from something inside of you.

Creation is what happens when a spark of something inside of you (a thought, feeling, belief, desire, commitment, or action) manifests in physical form

Creation, and therefore your money, is an intermingling of a purpose you’re meant to live out, your desires for yourself, sparks of action you’ve taken, and requests your heart has made.

Your heart’s request could simply be that your family were more comfortable, or that your next product launch has more support underneath it. Whatever your requests, actions, desires, and purpose, money shows up to meet it as a vehicle for you, or your business to express in a particular way.  

Understanding that money is creation, and creation is the core fabric of everything, gives your business more momentum for growth.

You may have already planted seeds, but knowing they are there to be nurtured can bring new life to your business. 

4. All humans are intrinsically linked to creation.

Your business is all about humanity. It is built and operated by humans, funded by humans, and offers something to humans. Even if you’re in robotics, humans are involved in the creation and use of your company’s product.

No one single human exists within a vacuum unto themselves. Each one of us is part of a greater collective body that links to creation.

Just as your thoughts, actions, desires are always creating; the collective thought, action and desire are always creating.

By this logic, trying to separate your business from the whole simply does not work; cannot work.

Each of us has a purpose that drives us and delivers creative energy for us to act upon. Each of us, all of the time, is intersecting our thoughts, intentions, feelings, desires, actions with that which catalyzes creative energy into the physical. 

When we realize this, we begin to see the web of energy, physicality, and beingness that forms what makes up the collective body of humanity.

Your business has a collective body, and its collective body is connected to a greater collective.

The ups and downs that are hard to handle within your business sometimes step from not knowing or being willing to see this. 

When you understand that your business is connected to something greater than you, or your employees or product/service alone, it all starts to make a lot more sense. And it all becomes a lot easier to navigate. 

The journey you're on was never just about the initial achievement you wanted to make with your business, or even the intention of it. It has always been about something much bigger.

5. Expansion is inevitable.

Whether you like it or not, everything is ultimately impermanent. Impermanence is one of the things that drives us to desire more, to create, and to want to change and grow.

Life is designed to expand.

Your children are supposed to come into the world knowing things you only wish you’d known at their age. Time is designed to help you know more today than you did yesterday, and to innovate. The drive to create is designed to help you learn, do, experience and become new things. 

Creation moves through everything, expanding it with the breath of life in every moment.

Realizing this about your business isn’t only about growing your revenues or customer base. Sure, these things are great. And totally important aspects of expansion.

However, expansion has principles in which, if you try to counter them, you’ll only wind up getting frustrated, hitting walls, having extra fires to put out, feeling overwhelmed or unfulfilled.

Heck, expansion is the reason this blog is part of a 3 part series. If we knew, understood, or embodied everything we were meant to up front in life, there would be no joy in tomorrow.

Learning, and most importantly attuning yourself to the principles of expansion will get you a lot farther. It will bring the higher profit margin you’ve been desiring, and will up the contribution level of your company.

I’ve seen companies I’ve worked with discover and tap into entirely new market segments their competitors don’t know exist when the principles of expansion are applied.

I’ve seen the principles of expansion create far happier teams and more powerful employee engagement.

I’ve seen them double revenues practically overnight.

Without the principles of expansion we are pushing against the grain.

6. You are not the only one at the driver's seat of your business.

You didn’t become a leader to take orders. I get it. But by now you’ve probably already realized that controlling things only makes life worse.

Life is always inviting you to choose, to take action, to be a stand for yourself and your company.

Even the most consistent action, most powerful choice, and most rooted stance will fall flat without heart.

And when you go into what your heart knows, it knows that it also wants to be held, to open, to have a soft place to land.

The most powerful business owners and leaders know how to surrender. They realize they are not the only one at the driver’s seat. They bow in reverence and humility to whatever it is that is co-creating this experience with them.

Recognizing that you’re not the only one at the driver’s seat of your business helps you know which way to navigate. It allows the GPS of your company strategy to light up with more obvious signals of which way to go.
