Entrepreneurial Spirits

One of the little discussed secrets of success

The first time I heard it, I was shocked. Ted Nicholas mentioned that a large part of his success ($4 billion worth of revenues in his lifetime already) was due to his spiritual beliefs. But he did not like to discuss it that much.

I wondered if other successful entrepreneurs were the same – so I went out and started asking around.

Over 75% of the people I spoke with had very strong spiritual practices/beliefs – and credited that to their successes.

It was not difficult finding 53 entrepreneurs who would share their stories about spirituality and success – as most of them were glad to “let the cat out of the bag”.

The 53 authors in Entrepreneurial Spirits have created WELL in excess of $10 Billion dollars in revenues over the years – and are all spiritual.

So, the proof is there.

Why the fear to discuss?

There is still a stigma attached to spirituality – despite the changing views on what spirituality is. But, the doors are opening a little wider each day… and people are sharing their private feelings about this very personal matter.

The fact is – a very large percentage of successful business people are spiritual (my results showed in excess of 75% of the entrepreneurs out there).

The fact is – there is more scientific evidence now, than ever before, that you can use spiritual practices to create “things” in your life.

Be it wealth, health or happiness – there is scientific proof your spiritual practices can influence the outcome.

Why else would fortune 500 companies be investing in research into this?

Why else would the governments across the world have “secret” divisions that research this, and how it can be used to improve things in life?

Why is it then that people don’t like to discuss this?

Because, it’s scary.

As Nelson Mandela said…

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”

Is that not a scary thought to you?

The fact that YOU are in total control over your wealth, your health and your happiness – frightens many.

It’s much easier to blame others.

Taking ownership over your present day situation is not an easy thing to do… for it means you are the one that has to do something to change something.

No more blaming others.

The definition of spirituality is different from most of the people I spoke with. The tools and techniques to deepen their spiritual understanding were quite varied. It is up to you to find your own definition… and tools… to make the most of it.

The one common thing, though, is that it’s up to you to find your true inner peace.

Be it through meditation, prayer, visualization, or whatever means you want to use. The key though is to find your inner peace… and to use this first step in creating your life as you wish.

You have an entire world/universe at your side waiting for you to make a decision. The choices you make will determine your happiness – make wise choices.

I look forward to sharing more information from the book – and from the authors in the book.

The first step is always in your hands.

Will you take the first step?

Or continue on as if this subject does not exist… and the $10 Billion worth of proof is all made up?

Completely up to you.

To your entrepreneurial spirit,

PS - Many of the techniques in the book will be completely new to you. Just one little tip (out of the hundreds in there) could change the direction of your life. Worth a look, I would think.
