Why are you in the business you are in?



Have you given thought to why you do what you do? Why are you in the business you are in? What motivates you to work with the clients you work with? In the last few years the energy of business has shifted dramatically. With all the spirit-driven businesses currently in existence and those that will be created there is an incredible shift taking place. If you are reading this chances are you are aware of this transformation.

If you are not yet aware of the shift the fact you are reading this means there is a slight ray of light shining through your consciousness.

It is in this awareness we know we have the ability to influence change on many levels. What an awesome opportunity and responsibility this is.

There are reasons beyond money we are in business. Our primary purpose is to serve. Granted, not everyone agrees with this and that's okay. My job is not to make someone wrong for what their priorities are. My job is to be clear on my priorities and purpose.

In order to stay focused on my primary purpose I sit quietly and visualize my mind as a vessel that channels information from Source. When I am able to allow myself to reside in this space everything becomes simple.

Do not confuse simple with easy. There are times the actions I must take to fulfill what I am called to do can be challenging, time consuming and require a high level of trust of the unknown.

Truth be told, every day is a day of unknowns. The more we can stay fully present in the present moment the easier it all becomes.

Again I ask, "Have you given thought to why you do what you do? Why are you in the business your in? What motivates you to work with the clients you work with?"

Is it for the material gain you will obtain or is it for a high level of service that results in consciousness raising shifts?

Re: Is A Business Plan A Waste Of Time? - I don't see a business plan a waste of time. Actually it's a great goal-setting tool for a business and it also helps evaluate a business' performance which allows the business owner to see where the business is going. Others say that it is only important when seeking funding from lenders or banks, but I believe it is more than that, that's why I have mine written and it's a work in progress since I first started in business.
Is A Business Plan A Waste Of Time? - According to various government statistics, up to 80% of businesses will fail within their first five years of operation. That number is staggering to me. At the same time, when I look at most business owners, most of them do not have a business plan for where they want to go. When you ask entrepreneurs why they don’t have a business plan, most of them will say something like: “it’s too much work”, “I’m not trying to raise money”, “it’s all in my head already”, or “my business changes too often for a business plan to be worthwhile.” Sound familiar? Did you write a business plan for your company when you first started? Are you planning on doing it for your new business idea?
Is "Good" - Good Enough - I was just reading the thread about whether people need a business plan and this idea hit me. Someone commented that if you don't have a business plan and you're doing all right - then why spend the time or money. But, is doing good or doing all right - good enough? Maybe you're a business that is getting by and making the bills. What if, taking the time to really evaluate your business with a detailed business plan could help you see places to make some changes which could take your business to the next level? Would it be worth your time? I think it would definitely be worth the time. That could be because I've worked with a number of business owners who were "getting by", but once they committed to having someone evaluate the business - they saw a drastic increase in their revenue. So, why couldn't or wouldn't an entrepreneur do an evaluation to determine where the business is, where it isn't working and where it should be going? This could be done in a business plan format. Just some random thoughts. Shri
answer this question - I dont know if this is posted in the right area, or if its been asked heaps of times already. Tell us something BAD you have done in your business that could have potentially(or has) destroyed/ended your business, or that has effected your business in a BIG way. OR, is there something GOOD you have done in your business that has really benefited you in a BIG way.
Re: Unsecured Lines of Credit - Hello, creditguru: Thanks for the recommendation. Here are two questions for you that will further help our forum members to make use of your suggestion: 1. How [u:p6n6npsx]does[/u:p6n6npsx] a business establish a strong business credit profile? (Especially small business and home business.) Please provide some tips or guidelines on how to do this effectively. 2. Commercial credit lines can be helpful to a business, but they do require responsible management on the part of the business owner. What tips, recommendations or cautions can you offer to business owners who are considering commercial lines of credit? Thanks. GT :-]
