    How to Create Ease and Peace of Mind in Your Business.

    Having the right mindset contributes to at least 80% of the success or failure in business.

    We think that because we are growing a business it has to be hard work.  However I’ve found that when you are expressing your gifts and talents through your work, sharing your authentic value with clients, and you are receiving value in the form of profits, your work becomes so natural that it energizes you.

    We view business from a very limited perspective and our ideas of business usually come from the entrepreneurs that surround us, or even our mentors.  We look at someone’s thriving business and we think, “My God! That looks incredibly hard!   There is no way I can do have a business like theirs.” or we think it has to be complicated.

    In truth most businesses started with one simple idea.  One simple a-ha moment where an entrepreneur thinks, “I really love this _____!”  I think can make money doing this.

    Here are a few tips to help you create ease and peace of mind while you are building and running your business:

    • Start out with the intention to allow building your business to be simple and easy.
    • Ease and peace of mind comes from knowing that you and your business are connected.  (you are one!)
    • Since you are your business are one, your business can guide you!
    • Follow your intuition and inner guidance along the way and create your business from a deep connection to Infinite Intelligence, God, Source, from your DNA (your Divine Natural Alignment)
    • Know where you are going.  I am not a fan of goals however I am a big fan of creating a vision for your business.
    • Practice breathing.  A lot.  Sometimes we hold our breaths and hope for the best, and that is not good for our bodies.  Learn to breathe deeply and appreciate yourself for being in the game of life instead of watching from the side lines.  Breathing is a powerful tool when you are mastering peace of mind and creating ease in your business.

     

  • Intuition or Reason to Run Your Business?

    What system do you use to grow your business?

    Do you know when to use your intuition to help grow your business and when reason is best?

     

     

    The whole idea of System 1 and System 2 came from Daniel Kahneman.  In his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow.  Kahneman describes two systems of thinking, System 1 is the Intuitive system, which is fast and as he says, unreliable, and System 2 is slow, steady, and runs on past knowledge and experience.

    I like using System 1.  It is entirely more fun, gives me energy, and always leaves me with a sense of wellbeing.  System 2 on the other hand makes me feel “stuck,” which is why I rely on other people and systems to provide me with the data so I can let System 1 guide me to the next action to take in my business.

    The problem for most people is they run their entire business on System 2.  They create a business based on Reason.  They see a need in the market place and they do research and the research shows that it would be a great business to start.  They create a business plan, and they may even use a proven system to market their idea.   Then when it is time to implement their business, or launch it, they fall short because they have no INSPIRATION to keep motivated and energized to move the idea forward.   If their numbers go down, they look within the numbers to see where they can shuffle things around to make things work, cut back here, hold off on this marketing idea there, and they totally miss the opportunity to build a business that is designed to think outside of the numbers.  This is where System 1 comes into play.

    System 1 is about possibilities, boundlessness, inspiration, and creativity.

    Practice using both systems together when you are making decisions, solving problems and creating change in your business.   You may find that thinking outside of your natural system will help you create the change that you want.

    And if you just can’t seem to see a solution call in your mastermind partners to help you access the solution.

    I’d love to know what system you naturally use to run your business.

    Leave a comment and share your a-has, your opinions, and your advice on using either reason or intuition in business.

    Until next time, “BE Grateful, Think BIG, Take INSPIRED Action, and ENJOY the Journey!”

    How to Create A Personal Philosophy so you can Love Your Business and Your Life!  

    In a previous post I shared the difference between BEing more and DOing more.

    Having a personal philosophy simply reminds you how you want to BE in any situation.

  • How Do You Break The Cycle Of Negative Thought Patterns?

    How Do You Break The Cycle Of Negative Thought Patterns?

    I have a friend who is very, let’s say, “consciously negative”.

    He is aware that he has negative thoughts and has years of low self-esteem to support his negativity.  The good news is he wants to change.  

    Recently he asked, “Dawn, what can I do to break the cycle of negative thought patterns? There has to be a way out.  I thought I was doing pretty good, thinking positively about my future, but my results still look the same!  Is there any hope for me?”

    There is!

    I believe in people.  I have to.  I have seen people who I thought would never wake up, walk through their deepest fears and create amazing lives for themselves and I have seen people who I thought would surely conquer the world, sit back and do… nothing.

    Here is the a key to overcoming tough obstacles.  It doesn’t matter whether I believe in you or not!  It only matters whether you believe in you!

    The first key to overcoming negative patterns of thought is to understand that it is OK. People have negative thoughts.  What is more harmful than negative thoughts is negative emotions.  So give yourself a break, especially when you start your journey.  It is ok to feel.  When a negative thought or a negative emotion becomes a habit, then you may need some help transmuting the negative into positive thoughts, beliefs and emotions.

    Ok, second, believe you can think differently.

    So.. are you willing to think differently?

    Do you believe you can think differently?

    Then that is all you need to start!  A belief in yourself and a healthy shot of tequila!

    Just joking!  No alcohol is needed to overcome the obstacle of negative thought patterns, however you will want to celebrate those little wins.

    Start to give yourself credit for responding to situations differently than you have in the past.    Notice the changes in how you feel and pay attention to how your thinking changes and celebrate the success of your mind!

    Third, the real secret to transmuting the negative to the positive lies in how you respond when you notice you are in a negative state.  A “state” is when your mind and emotions are synced to the same frequency of thought.  A negative state is when your mind and emotions are synced to a negative frequency of thought.   Transmuting negative states to positive states happens in the moment you are aware of the negative state you are in and you consciously choose to be in a positive state.  You are going to want to get out a pencil  and write this one down:  HOW you treat yourself while transmuting this energy sets your attraction point.

    I spent years mastering transmutation of states from one state to another, by beating myself up for feeling the negative emotions.  I thought something was completely wrong with me and this was so far from the truth.  You can manifest lots of external stuff through changing your state through force, however you will discover just how amazing your are when you learn to appreciate all of you, the negative and the positive in the moments when you are transmuting your negative thoughts to positive thoughts.

    Maybe now is the time to break out the bubbly!  Personally, I don’t drink, but I love sparkling grape juice to celebrate the many opportunities to appreciate myself while breaking new layers of doubt, worry, or even indecision.

    I’d love to hear how you break the cycle of negative thoughts!   Just take a minute and post your tip below!

    How to Skyrocket Your Effectiveness in Business

    I’m not sure what I forgot to do this time, but it was something important and my 16 year old daughter looked at me with concern and asked, “Do you want to know how never to forget anything ever again, mom?” And since I’m a lifelong learner always looking for new ways to do things, I said, “Sure, what can I do to guarantee I’ll never forget anything ever again?”
