Embracing Entrepreneurship as a Spiritual Journey

Chapter 1: The Business as a Spiritual Path
I once heard someone say that my business serves as my spiritual journey. At that moment, I merely nodded, thinking it was a superficial notion.
Now, I have come to realize it holds profound truth. My entrepreneurial journey is indeed a path toward embodying my true self. This venture reveals every aspect of inner work I must address to achieve success, as I am the core force behind it.
Each challenge I encounter is represented by the points depicted in the accompanying image. Those familiar with the enneagram will recognize its nine pivotal points. This spiritual expedition has already surfaced my deepest anxieties—specifically, the fear of visibility and the courage to express my beliefs.
Standing firm in our convictions is crucial—not only for personal growth but also for the collective good. Currently, it feels as though we are witnessing a resurgence of Mao's cultural revolution, with cancel culture fostering a climate of fear surrounding the expression of truth, given the high stakes involved.
I believe we engage in self-censorship more than ever before. While some of this is warranted, it can also lead to oppression. The thought police dwell both within our minds and in the external world.
Being visible can transform you into a target. If, as a child, your survival strategy was to blend into the background, then voicing beliefs that others may deem unconventional or "woo" can be daunting.
My mission, along with that of my business, is to empower others through energy medicine, guiding them to heal and clear emotional and energetic blockages in order to reclaim the lives they desire. I cannot fulfill this role if I remain hidden away, avoiding engagement and expression on social media or elsewhere.
Another way my business acts as a spiritual mentor is by compelling me to be my own biggest advocate and support system. I excel at uplifting those around me; anyone within my sphere benefits from my encouragement. Many of those I’ve supported have gone on to achieve remarkable feats—such as flying helicopters, establishing multi-million-pound enterprises, and authoring books.
However, I now realize that my energy must be directed toward myself and my business journey. This was an important lesson I learned from the same insightful woman. All the energy I once invested in others is now returning to me.
As I delve deeper into energy work, I witness its effects on both myself and others. I have come to understand that energy work constitutes about 80% of what it takes to succeed in business. My energy is out in the world—my business, while possessing its own identity, is an extension of who I am, shaped by my thoughts and behaviors. If my energy is misaligned, the business will reflect that, leading to difficulties in decision-making and action.
Consequently, my relationship with my business has transformed entirely. I now perceive it as a mentor, a mirror, and a source of affection. Viewing it through this lens has altered how I engage with it and how I relate to others regarding my work. It has enabled me to take responsibility in ways I never thought possible.
This perspective is truly liberating.
