Oh MY! (Lions & Tigers & Bears! OH MY!) - Here's what happens - when you are willing - to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and PRACTICE some more - (this is called persistence) you begin to develop the magical quality of PATIENCE - allowing things to unfold in their OWN time - including YOU and your business. Part of the work of a Passion-preneur is the deep development of this patience muscle. You have been STRUCK THROUGH THE HEART and you have deep burning desire to serve the world in the highest ways possible to bring your gifts to the table, to help those you are here to serve and to joyfully co-create magic, miracles and money with your entrepreneurship! And yet...There are SO many pieces of this ART of running a business - that sometimes you can trip, fall and get deeply discouraged. Here is where the practice comes in handy - one of my favorite practices is to become DEEPLY aware and just NOTICE when I've lost the fire in my belly and the flame in my heart for the work that I know I've been born to do. When that happens as a PRACTICE - it's time to take some time away from the work - and to make a retreat where you can re-kindle the flame and come back into right relationship with your business and fuel yourself to continue to persist in bringing your gifts in to the world in positive, productive and profitable ways.
It can be challenging to have a HUGE vision and then to realize that you are not going to INSTANTLY MANIFEST it! Spirit gives you these big visions as opportunities to grow - inside yourself and inside your business. Cultivating that patience muscle is a way to hone and refine your Spirit. When you wait for something - and when you take your time to carefully and mindfully and patiently craft something - then you will be creating lasting value in the world - and you will be (EXACTLY ON TIME) richly rewarded for it!
There are so many parts to a successful business - and the journey to success is one that is filled with a huge variety of challenges that you must face, apply your skill to and overcome. For many evolving entrepreneurs the discovery of your passionate purpose is just the beginning - there is so much to learn, so much to synthesize and then so much to integrate before finally putting all those parts together into a viable, sustainable, thriving enterprise that is the carrying vessel for your accumulated wisdom and knowledge.
I have been in the space myself of having been called into a BIG vision - the creation of a big Telesummit event - I've figured out why it's called a Summit! - Because like climbing a high mountain peak the creating and delivery of this event has been quite a journey - there have been a lot of ditches, some crevasses, a few slippery slopes, a lot of strategizing, some muscling through, and the peak at this point is ALMOST but NOT QUITE in sight!
How to stay the course? Practice - everyday - I have a yoga practice and I've also been called even more deeply into my own energetic practices as well as mindset work - the most valuable of which has been "STAY IN TODAY". Persist - just keep moving - put one foot in front of the other, step by step you make steady progress and finally PATIENCE - this has been a big life long quality that I've been cultivating. The harvest will arrive - in it's own time - you don't see the farmer planting a seed in the field and then going out the next day and looking for the fruit of the vine. Breathing is a great way to encourage patience and discourage anxiety and fear from creeping in when you wonder if you are ever going to make it to the peak or if you are going to go slipping away and crash and burn in a devastating heap! Just keep breathing.
