Who’s Running Your Business

By Maggie Ostara
10 Apr

ProfessionalwomanAll of my clients have heard me say: You need to pull your emotions out of your business.

Why? Because when you are emotionally fired up—either what you think of as negatively or positively, you don’t make the best decisions. This is particularly true when you are emotionally triggered.

Then you really have no idea who is running your business.

Why? Because when you’re triggered, an experience from the past has been activated, and you are referencing the past to understand what’s happening in the present. You are not actually thinking clearly about the current situation—you are filtering what’s in front of you through the meaning you gave to what happened in the past.

And that can mean that a six-year-old, a two-year-old, or someone who was burned at the stake in an earlier life is making decisions for your business.

Scary thought, right?

Yet I see this virtually every day.

Because when you approach your business activity and decisions with fear, trepidation, overwhelm, the desire to be perfect, the need to be liked, or concerned about what other people think about you—and these are SUPER common—then you are referencing something in the past to understand the present.

You are operating out of your conditioned thinking, not accurate thinking.

You are not actually thinking at all—you are reacting.

And the trickiest part is—you are so smart, that you often find all kinds of seemingly logical reasons to justify your fear and your resistance.

You say things like: “the reality is” ______________ .

  • I don’t know who my tribe is.
  • I don’t know where to find people to talk to about my business.
  • People keep saying “no” to my offers.
  • People just won’t pay that much for ______________.
  • I don’t have the money to ______________________.
  • I can’t do this on my own.
  • I’m just not motivated to do that.

These are all signs that you are in limited thinking, produced by inner references to the past that you probably don’t even know you are making.

You are not in possibility thinking. You are not using the true power you have to create what you want.

In fact, you are using your power against yourself, by giving your precious life force energy to old beliefs and patterns developed from this life and your Soul’s Journey instead of to what you really want.

This is where the Spiritual Rubber hits the Road.

Are you living what you espouse to believe—that you live in an abundant and benevolent universe in which you already have what you need?

Or are you living as if there is not enough for you or for others? As if danger is lurking, and some unknown but malevolent marauder is likely to pounce when you send out an email to your list or call someone to invite them to work with you?

It may sound silly when I say it like this—but stop and be honest with yourself.

And it can happen the other way around, too. You get über excited, and go into magical thinking, and somehow imagine “it’s all going to work out” without realizing that you have to have the plan and do the work to make your business a success—and then committing to and doing it!

That’s another patterned response that is not clearly looking at the current situation. It’s a spiritual bypass—“the universe will provide for me.”

What a bunch of crap—really!

Of course yes, what you need is already here. And everything is always working out for you. Yes, yes, yes.

AND, to create you need to engage. I seriously doubt that checks for thousands of dollars will appear in your mailbox, even if you meditate regularly and are in a good mood all the time.

So who really is running your business?

My recommendation is create a powerful and clear-eyed combination of your right-brained, creative and intuitive self together with your intelligent, analytical, left-brained self, freed from looking at the past for reference and standing optimistically in the present.

From there, you can command the future.

That is the potential and the promise of this time, as we stand on the threshold of this New World Age now emerging. And you, and your visionary, transformational business are a critical part of that unfolding.

Maggie Says:

Forgive yourself for choices you’ve made in the past, consciously or unconsciously, and move forward.
Get creative and be the author of your story, rather than at the mercy of your story.
Decide that it’s Possible. Accept nothing less than your birthright of full self - expression and empowerment.
Now is the time of rapid and miraculous change. Ride the wave.
With patience, intention, and support, it really is possible to receive and align with what you want, with who you are.
Let your creativity be your guidance.
Open your awareness to the abundance that is surrounding you at this very moment.
Listen to yourself and your own heart. Clear the way so that you have space, and time, and energy, to be you.
Stretch to feel the light of your Soul that burns in the core of your being. Stretch and the fear will begin to melt.
It matters that you show up fully as who you are to share yourself, your gifts and your contribution with others.
