You Are The Hero
Part of being attractive to new clients is learning who you are.
The first thing to realise is that by taking the path of self-employment you’ve become a hero.
Anyone running a business is a daring soul. By being self-employed, you’ve decided to take life’s adventures to warp speed. Because running your business – making your difference in the world and making money – will cause transformations in you.
I used to think I would be the person who would grow my business, but what is now apparent is that my business grows me; and as I change, the business moves on.
We know the 5000 or so business owners we now connect with are all on that journey with you. I hope it’s kind of reassuring to know that there are others like you – inspired, caring, forward thinking entrepreneurs who want to profit and make a difference.
How we make our difference in the world, and a profit, is largely down to our values, passions and purpose. There are many ways to do it…
A business can also be a lynch-pin in a local community, no matter how big or small it is. Whatever the size of your business it can have an impact on the environment, it can also do good for the people around you – maybe by giving some of the profits to a local charity or cause, or by setting up your own foundation, or by giving an investment opportunity to the under-privileged in your community.
What’s important is that your business feels good to work in on the inside. When it feels good on the inside, it becomes attractive to others and these people then become your customers, your fans and your advocates and supporters.
I hope it’s reassuring to know this. I say this because you have chosen a path that only real heroes could walk. I mean, it’s a double-whammy – because you’ll only settle for business success if it comes with helping people or the environment or creating positive change in some way.
So there are two things for you – profit and making a difference.
Traditionally business has only focussed on profit, so you’re one of the first of a new wave of businesses. You’re a leader. And because you’re a leader, you’ll have the challenges leaders have, especially if you’re trying to do it all.
That’s why we have created business groups and Insiders Secrets, so you can have support from peers and from me.
I welcome you on this huge journey of personal discovery and I’m pleased to let you know that support is available to you through CommunitySoul.
Neil Fellowes shows conscious entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants and complementary therapists how to make a difference AND a profit. To find out more about Insiders Secrets, and how you can join our support group, visit our website at http://www.communitysoul.co.uk
