A most valuable (and least understood) entrepreneurial skill

We humans are endlessly fascinating. Take our right and left brains, for example. On the one hand, we dream of what we want, and we dream big. We make vision boards and endless lists of yummy, delicious wishes. (All stated in the present, of course.) All very right-brain and very, very good.

So the Universe starts to send us what we want – hooray! But there’s a catch; namely, we have to make a move. Getting what we want almost always requires us to do something that’s uncomfortable or a little scary.

So our left brain says, “Show me” or “I’ll believe it when I see it.” And many entrepreneurs become frozen by fear.

Thing is, you can’t see everything you want before you take action to get it. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works! (And if you think about it, it’s a kind of ridiculous to expect otherwise.)

Thing is, to get what you want, chances are you’ll be called to take action in the face of the invisible – that which you cannot see.

Will hiring that team member work out? Will joining that coaching program move me forward? Will working with a mentor take me to the next level? Will hiring that copywriter really improve my sales?

Some call this taking a risk. I like to think of it as stepping forward in faith. Stepping forward with the rock-solid, to-the-core-of-you knowledge that the supply of whatever you want is infinite because it comes from Source. It comes via other people, but ultimately, comes from Source, Spirit, God, the Goddess – whatever your name for the Divine.

So does this mean that every possible next step is a good one? Absolutely not! Not every risk is the right risk. All steps forward should be backed by a set of criteria that make sense for you. It’s just that fear shouldn’t be one of them.

Are you willing to step out in faith? When Spirit works through other people, sometimes that person is you. Do you believe in your own resourcefulness, your powers of manifestation? (You are a master manifester, I can tell you that!)

This week, my coach’s challenge for you is to take action in the face of the invisible. Pay close attention to where you let fear stop you from taking action on an opportunity – the step you know you need to take to receive what you truly want. Bright blessings and massive success to you…
