In my Soul Life Readings, I always get the question at the end of the session.
HOW?
- How can I can maintain this blissful state that I'm in right now?
- How to fulfil my soul's purpose now that I know what my soul purpose is?
How ... how ... how....
While it's a valid question to want to know the "How tos" but it's irrelevant if you don't know your WHY are you in business and not in love with your business.
I get this question a lot as well from people who want to quit their jobs.
"I want to start a business but don't know what business to start. What can I do?"
Well, before I go on, I want to take this opportunity to address this myth that starting a business means freedom or living your soul purpose.
Not everyone is destined to be a doctor, lawyer, banker, chef or engineer!
Therefore not everyone is destined to be an entrepreneur as well.
Many people look at entrepreneurs and immediately think - Money and Freedom.
That's absolutely not true!
Yes! You get the money and freedom but it's at a price!
By the way, you don't need to quit your job to live your soul purpose. There're many other ways to be fulfilled in life!
Most successful people took at least 10 years to be an "overnight success".
I spoke to my friend's boyfriend recently who is a self taught and self made millionaire. He drives a Porsche and lives in a $4 million house. And he's way much older than I am.
And I love to talk to
I asked him when did he really get to enjoy his money and he told me not till at least 10 years later.
He told me that the business made money in the first 5 years and and then they (he and his 2 other partners) re-invested the money into the business.
So the company was indeed making money but he didn't get to enjoy his money till 10 years later where they saw money in their bank accounts.
I also asked him why is he still working so hard now that his business is so well established and he has an army of staff?
He said... because HE LOVES WHAT HE DO!
Besides planning the sales strategies, he also coaches his staff and help them with their career!
Back to my point.
That's why it's so important to LOVE what you do because you're in it for the long haul!
Statistics have shown that 90% of start ups quit in the first 6 months and I've seen many people spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to start a business and only to close it down after 7 months.
Passion is one thing and LOVING what you do is another.
They said that if you love what you do, you'll never work a day.
That doesn't mean you won't have problems or challenges. You will!
In fact, you'll have loads and tons of problems along the way.
But what do you do when the rubber meets the road? Do you give up?
If you don't love what you do, chances are you WILL give up after a few tries.
Unlike being in a job, you don't get paid for everything you do in your business. Sometimes, after spending so much time and money on a project, it fails and you don't get "paid"!
I've been in this Spiritual Business/Industry for 10 years now and I've encountered so many problems along the way and trust me when I say that I really want to give up and get a job.
But something always pulls me back and I can't bear to leave this business. Not because I've spend so much time building it.
I really LOVE what I do. I love to teach and share and facilitate transformations and help people love their life!
Well. that's the only thing you can do for yourself actually.
LOVE YOURSELF AND LOVE YOUR LIFE.
If you think about it, no one can do that for you!
The way you run your business and things you do within your business may change - because you've grown, but the love never dies.
So.... if you're starting a business for the sake of starting a business or just to make money, then you may not have the stamina to go all the way.
On a side note, besides LOVING your business, make sure your business has meaning and can help change the world.
Guy Kawasaki said in this video that if you make MEANING, you'll probably also make money.
Love is a powerful energy and #LoveWins all the time!
