This question came in from on of our readers. She asked:
I appreciate your advice to start a small business from 'the inside out.' However, I have been working for myself for years without ever having done any of the preparatory work you talk about. I’m sure I’d be further along and more established if I had. What are the most important things for me to do now that I’ve already gotten my business going “from the outside in?
A: Not everyone gets the opportunity to be intentional about starting their business from the inside out, or, as I like to put it, from your Inner Samurai. So the next best thing is to grow your business from the inside out.
Here are the top five things you can do now to more deeply connect your business to your inner knowing:
- Review your vision and mission statements. Make sure they reveal your best inner vision and inner-inspired action.
- Remain nimble in your thinking. Make sure you have not become so attached to any one belief that you cannot see past it to another possibility.
- Affirm that your business is safe, that your business needs are always taken care of, and that you trust the process of life.
- Imagine what you want your business to be like. See your business and your life through the eyes of Source.
- Focus on prosperity. Take your mind off sales.
