When I started in my spiritual business I tried to approach it in the same way I had approached my corporate career. Every move I made was very deliberate. I weighed the pros and cons and reasoned out every decision carefully, afraid to make a mistake.
And guess what happened... Nothing!
After a few months of this I realized that if I was going to make my spiritual business work, I was going to have to find a way to blend my practical corporate knowledge with my intuitive feelings and wisdom. In other words, I was going to have to find a way to bring my authentic self into my business.
The problem was, I had no idea how to do that. Up until that point I had basically lived a double life, like Superman masquerading as Clark Kent. By day I was a buttoned up professional who negotiated contracts and moved proverbial mountains to make my projects work. And by night I was a tarot reading, pendulum wielding high priestess in all her glory.
But until I made the leap into spiritual entrepreneurship those two sides of my personality rarely ever met. And I knew I was going to need both in order to succeed in this uncharted territory.
So I began to look around me for role models and mentors. I looked for other successful spiritual entrepreneurs who were doing it right and I allowed myself to become the student. I sat at the feet of talented coaches and mentors like Kendal Summerhawk, Elizabeth Genco-Purvis and Sharon Desjarlais, and I learned.
What these women taught me was that business, like life, isn't perfect. You will doubt yourself at times, you will flounder on occasion and you WILL make mistakes. But if you're willing to take that leap of faith to be your authentic self in your spiritual business, if you're willing to go "all in" with abandon and passion, you will find your grace.
Personally, I knew I must be doing something right when other spiritual business owners started coming to me asking for advice. I realized that people were reacting to my real self and not to some polished facade, and it felt good on a deep spiritual level. It felt like I was being of authentic service to my community just by being me ~ imperfections and all.
So today I ask you two questions... First, who do you look up to as a role model or mentor and what have they taught you? And second, who's looking up to you and what do you have to teach them by being your authentic self? Really look around and consider these questions... The answers might surprise you.
