Success is not an END RESULT. Success is not a GOAL. Success is a PROCESS.
It’s not about winning the race. It is about training for, and running, this race, and every race, in the best possible manner.
It’s about enjoying everything leading up to the race, as well as the race itself, as much as the rewards of being victorious.
As a Spiritual Entrepreneur, you have an imperative to succeed. You have no other choice. It’s either succeed or get a job helping someone else succeed. There is no middle ground.
However, the successful Spiritual Entrepreneur does not charge blindly into the marketplace, relying on chance to bring success. Instead, they trust their Inner Guidance and develop the character traits that will allow them the best opportunity to reach their personal and professional goals.
These traits are like building blocks. They form a solid base that can be utilized to make the right decisions at the right time. They can support other learned skills that allow further development.
Finally, they are a resource that can be drawn upon in times of need. The most successful people look on success as an exponential process. It is a process in which every opportunity to succeed leads to further opportunities.
In this way, success is not a goal. It is a journey of self-development.
Like all personal development it is deeply personal and intrinsic. It is not a set of tricks or hacks. Instead, it is a way of looking at the world and looking at yourself.
All successful people know that HOW you do something is far more important than WHAT it is that you’re doing.
The goal is not finite and fixed. It is a daily affirmation that leads to weekly achievements which, in turn, lead to a lifelong positive journey.
Successful Spiritual Entrepreneurs are successful precisely because they have wired themselves to realize what they wish to achieve. They have a mindset that is tuned to success in a spiritual manner. They win, over and over again, precisely because they think like winners.
When it comes to business success, our vision is important to thriving. However, instead of our sense of sight, this vision involves our sense of imagination and possibility. Vision, in the business sense, is really the ability to visualize successful outcomes. It is the ability to imagine positive results. It is, at its heart, the ability to lucidly dream of where you want to go with your business.
The problem with the road to success is that many people only picture the destination, not the journey. When they do this, they not only fail to see that true success is not a destination (it’s a lifelong process) but they also fail to see the potential problems that routinely occur when striving for success.
This means that when these problems do occur, the unprepared person is stopped dead in their tracks. In their confusion, they forget where they were going and why and instead head back to where they came from.
The persistent person recognizes that failure is a temporary condition that affects everyone at one time or another before they reach their goal. They also understand that failure and setback teach powerful lessons that ultimately make you stronger.
When you struggle and decide not to quit, that is strength. It is also persistence and points to why every successful Spiritual Entrepreneur understands that setbacks are opportunities in disguise.
Success is a process, as well as a journey.
Make it a great trip!
