In the heart of every entrepreneur or potential entrepreneur there is a song that needs to be set free. Passion and inspiration write the lyrics. The soul gives rise to the music. So great is the longing that a risk-taker is born.
In all my years as an entrepreneur I never lost the dream, the passion and the desire to create. Reality, however, has a way of dimming the light. The details of running a business, dealing with employees, meeting government regulations and the daily grind can wear a person down. Maintaining your integrity and being true to your values can often clash with a seemingly hostile world. There is an “aloneness” for the entrepreneur with a dream. Creativity requires nurturing and nourishment. What happens when one day you wake up and discover you are running on “empty”? It all feels so heavy and you are wondering what it really means to be successful. You can no longer clearly hear the music.
When I first encountered life coaching I knew it was my path. My heart began to sing again and the fire was lit. The training was so exciting because a way to help others give expression to what was deep inside became crystal clear. The process of self-discovery is so rewarding as you let go of the clutter and baggage and peal away the layers of stress and struggle to reach that place of passion and truth…the real you.
Most significantly for entrepreneurs, coaching provides focus, clarity and better decision-making. By unloading worry, stress and fear, the main blockers of energy and creativity, you can once again connect to your passion and purpose. It is less about change than it is about uncovering what was always there. You have to be before you can do.
In the next article, Part 2, we will look at some tips for re-connecting with your passion and purpose and why happiness precedes success.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
