A really big challenge for most spiritual business owners that can stand in the way of turning our business into a stable livelihood that supports us to do the work we love, in support of others, lies in an area that is also a powerful strongsuit in the correct context if we can learn to master its application consciously.
It’s our natural “giver” capacity. We are naturally overflowing conduits of blessings abundant, something that we don’t even have to think about, which is wonderful and can be a sluice of supply in itself used in the right way. But the problem comes when we do this so automatically and without thought that the practical applications of running a business are not properly considered.
The reality is, for us to be able to do our work sustainably and actually bring our gifts to others in an ongoingly feasible way, our business needs to support us too, which means there has to be a material exchange that occurs in the process of our offerings and services, with an associated understanding of how this needs to work in order for it to work for everyone involved - including us. Without this, it won’t be possible to live our dreams.
There are many beautiful spiritual beings with profound gifts who are unable to share those with more than a couple of people, simply because this foundational understanding has been missed, which forces them to have to do a normal job instead just to sustain the demands of a material existence, thus limiting the time and energy that can be spent on one’s true spiritual calling (in the context of the work that we do). There is no real “spiritual mystery” to grasping how to live this, just practical, base-level, common business sense. Which can be the most mysterious thing of all to many beings of great light 🙂
I am so passionate about the subject of spiritual business and entrepreneurship because it offers a profound opportunity in this modern age for spiritual beings to bring forth the incredible magic, gifts and understanding that is within them and share it with many, many people, while sustaining their own lives at the time time - offering a stable foundation for building a new world where we can all thrive. This subject is among the top areas that light me up the most, for this very reason.
In my experience working with many spiritual beings, it’s often the case that it’s not that spiritual beings “have problems” with charging for their work per se, but that they literally forget to do so, or otherwise don’t think of it in practical terms! It is so natural for us to be the overflowing fountains that we are, that we might not even stop to think that there needs to be the pathways present that our efforts can directly funnel back into supporting our own lives as well in a balanced way, a natural two-way street.
This nuance of understanding that figuring out the charging bit is often just a missed beat, not a “block”, is very important, and can already eliminate a lot of running in circles thinking that we need to “overcome” something. We probably don’t, we just need to get practical, and smart about the management of our own resources, which includes our resources of energy, knowledge, insight, material, output of all kinds.
Giving away too much without an exchange or a balance in our own lives just because it’s easy to do so doesn’t support us to build out our work in a way that makes it sustainable for us to actually continue doing it and bringing the support to others that we want to bring, and so it’s simply logical to recognise that this part needs to be sorted out, so that we can fulfil our greater aims. Becoming a smart spiritual business woman/man/person if part of our own unique blueprint involves entrepreneurship, is therefore one of the greatest services we can render through our life.
What does this bring up in you? 💜
One of my small daily joys right now! Got this as a much-wanted present for myself before Christmas and it's starting to become a hub of activity. I was a bit worried when it arrived labelled "complete dining station" but so far none of the cats have attempted to dine on its visitors.
