We have many notions about our working lives that we may not see, let alone question.
The businesses of the future will look radically different and it is time to start to challenge all the notions and presumptions that accompany us as we move through our working day.
One of the most debilitating beliefs is around how we set aside time to work on our businesses.

I have always been introverted and when I was younger painfully shy.
My first career job made me tackle this head on. I had to meet complete strangers and strike up conversation, build a bond, get to know them. It was everything that made me uncomfortable.
You would have thought I had nowhere to hide, but I found a way. I created a mask, my business face, that meant I could do what I needed to do whilst protecting myself.

If you are selling the status quo, you are selling the fear of change.
If you are selling change, you are selling fear of the status quo.

Control is a big issue in our society.
We want to control how people think and behave. It gives us predictable situations and outcomes.
We want to control the dynamics around us so there are no surprises and it is safer.
We want to control nature so it doesn’t inconvenience us or threaten us with its unpredictable behaviours.
Control does not bring happiness. It brings sterility.

No business can operate without energetic structures.
These are the systems and spaces we create to share and receive through.
For the most part, these structures are created according to the logic of what is required. This tends to exclude the presence of energy or impose a structure upon it that prevents it from moving naturally.

When you work on, in or with your business, there are 3 streams of energy at work.
Yours, your business and the alchemy between you.
If you choose to work through your own energy, then your business is denied expression.
If you choose to subsume yourself within your business energy, then you are denied expression.
Choosing to collaborate with your business so that both energy streams are given conscious expression is where the magic is at.

Without a doubt, the prevailing theme is to stop pushing and start allowing.
But what does that even mean?
My own experience with this had me tied up in knots a few years back. I could not wrap my mind around what it took to "let go" and "flow".
And therein lay the problem. Trying to use my mind to unravel it out was never going to work which was a lesson I had to learn the hard way.

Why does business have to be complicated?
As most businesses have evolved to include or exist exclusively in the online space, the number of moving parts that have to be managed has exploded.
It has become so complicated that every bit of energy is focused on how a business operates not why.
It is disconnecting us from the reason we are entrepreneurs. It’s time for a declutter.
