Filed under: Entrepreneuring
When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my first answer was always the same – ‘to help people’. And that answer revealed my true gifts in a profound, sweet way… it’s also that answer that has held back my business growth over the years.
Now I’m able to articulate my natural wisdom points – I’m a teacher, a healer, an intuitive and business visionary. So, ‘helping people’ is really how I’m wired from the inside out – these are talents that I’ve never really had to ‘learn’ because I just naturally know and express them.
However, I struggled for years beginning in corporate America and then as an entrepreneur. And people couldn’t really help me either – they just knew they felt better and that things flowed better when I was around. Unfortunately, as a business owner, not being able to pinpoint what you do is the entrepreneurial black hole.
I spent literally decades trying to sort my way through how ‘helping people’ was not a niche market. ‘People’ don’t know who ‘people’ are, right? After years of frustration and many different businesses, my current business is tailored to exactly the people who can most use my natural wisdom AND everything I’ve learned along the way.
The bottom line: I teach renaissance / spiritual / creative / conscious entrepreneurs how to find and translate their soul’s wisdom into a viable business. I want to help every entrepreneur offering a natural talent, message and/or gift to express it through their business because, for me, that’s our highest calling. One’s life purpose made manifest through service, creating and generating value for self and others, is the whole point of being here.
So, I’m still ‘helping people’… and now they know who they are and I am living my purpose when we make that connection. ;=)
What did you say when people asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up? In what ways has that come true? How has that guided you in your life? Please leave me a comment – I’d love to hear your story.
