Isn’t it just a joy to encounter someone in our business dealings who can see us as the individuals that we are? With 3 years experience behind me of working in the beyond fast city of London, I do know what the exact opposite of that feels like. Today I had a run in with a guy on one of the online business forums that I subscribe to where he basically rubbished one of my threads which undoubtedly had garnered some interesting attention. The essence of the thread was on the role of intuition in small business. Without even having seen my website, he said something like “It’s your train set. Make decisions based on fairies dancing at the bottom of the garden if it butters your toast. Good luck.”
“Uggghhh” I thought to myself. Luckily however, a few clued up forum members had the presence of mind to check the website and concluded for themselves that my business concept was not as “fruit loops” as that one guy would have people believe.
But this brings me to my point which is that in business, big or small, as in life, there are those of us who are “conscious”, those who are not and those who fall at every point in between. And that’s all fine, they are where they are. My particular vision happens to be helping other small business owners really find themselves and get in touch with the choices and expression that will really help them create a working life filled with joy, freedom and abundance. And I don’t buy that that’s a Pollyanna-like notion either because I have been able to create it myself…yes, together with the more tangible, practical aspects such as sound business and marketing plans, systems which focus heavily on customer satisfaction, proven business strategies etc.
I believe that we all have a choice in business about who we want to surround ourselves with, whether it be customers, suppliers or staff, and that this contributes in significant ways to your success and happiness and that of your business as a whole. It may seem like a simple example but it’s not really possible to have a business that stays afloat and nurtures all who come into contact with it if everyone involved is negative and apathetic, is it? We CAN consciously reach in every area of our businesses for experiences that are richer, more rewarding, and indeed a privilege for whomever it serves. And the funny thing is, there are so many small business owners out there who simply aren’t aware that this choice exists.
Never mind the naysayers. I came to understand a long time ago that they don’t despise me or what I do. They really despise that they are unable to have it themselves. I do view them with compassion, for like I say, they are where they are and could be in no other place. To others however, I say “Jump on board and together we’ll have a whale of a time”. Life is just bursting with rich experiences for the taking. What a joy to be in the company of those of you who can be grounded in solid business practice, staying awake at the wheel AND letting your real selves soar!
