Power of Now : Strategy v Inspiration

Description

What is the first thing you need to think about when starting a business?

The answer is actually simple. Everything you have in your life is a result of the choices you and you alone have made on a daily basis… and just prior to making that choice, you had a thought. You will be a successful entrepreneur, capable of creating value and a positive change in the world, with your business idea..

Redirected, to be inner-directed!

Entrepreneurs are Human beings, who can accomplish remarkable things running on a blend of two different kinds of fuel:

Strategy (I call this, motivation/willpower), it works like a normal car engine. It burns fast and strong, but runs out quickly and needs continual renewal. It eventually drains on the engine itself, so you need to have regular maintenance to handle the build-up of toxicity from the fuel and the high temperatures required to make it burn. It’s made up of a lot of personal thinking – the sum total of all of your ideas about who you are, what you’re up to, why you’re up to it (i.e. your “motive”), and what you think you need to be doing to get there.

Inspiration (I like to call it, spirit-power), it works like the electric engine in a hybrid. It is clean, non-toxic energy source which is self-renewing as it goes, so you can run on it for years without ever needing to manually recharge or replace the battery. It’s still made up of thought, but it’s a more impersonal thought that seems to come from a deeper part of the mind. Inspiration comes to you and through you, and as a rule, it isn’t about you – it’s about whatever it is that you’re working on or towards.

In my own experience, these two paths to success are intrinsically linked. No one, that I have met or worked with gets very far without putting in a lot of hours; no one sustains their enthusiasm for success over time without some kind of connection to a more universal energy source than the human will.

Have fun, listening to this webinar, and happy exploring in being a great Entrepreneur!
