This is what I consider to be a huge "trap" that many of us can avoid when becoming and Entrepreneur.
"The notion that you can run your own business lets say in direct sales or network marketing with the same attitude you had while at your job in the working world. That you don't have to make some changes within yourself to get better results. Being fake is almost always required of you when climbing the corporate latter to anything! Vs. being real and authentic in your business endeavor. It's called self-sabotage and it happens to people all the time."
I woke up early to begin my meditation and by 9am PST I received a long awaited phone call, about the results from an accident I was involved in a little over a month ago. The woman, insurance agent, whom I had been working with since the incident occurred would act very polite each time we spoke--but only to tell me that the accident was my fault and not the other drivers. To make a long story short, I was hit on the side of my car by a van backing out of a parking space. I couldn't even open my driver side door because his van hit the side fender of my door and pushed the fender in. He claims I was moving my car and ran into his bumper. The funny thing is, I was willing to take 50% fault because I seriously didn't see him, but because his insurance company is adamant about not paying out a dime...and thus lying and saying he said he was stopped even though my car has a huge dent on the side...and cars don't move sideways! But now, I have decided take them to court, knowing that my case is sound and the damage is obvious that his car was in motion when it hit me not the other way around.
This lesson, reminded me of how inauthentic people can be in the working world. When is it that we become the worst version of ourselves by choosing to lie and manipulate just to protect a company's interest? Not even her own interest but who knows, maybe she thinks she IS the company in some way. And why would anyone want to work these types of jobs? No wonder so many people are miserable at work and can't wait till Friday! I know that this woman probably doesn't even know she's not being inauthentic but at the same time, I refuse to support the idea that we should go out into the world of insurance adjusters, lawyers, doctors, police--I don't care if you're blue-collar worker or white-collar, and are taught to be inauthentic in the real world. It's how we have come to believe is the only way to survive in this "dog eat dog world. "
The way to avoid this "trap" or escape from it, requires that you engage your MIND in knowing who you are including what your deepest heartfelt desires are. Become a student of personal-growth, read books like "Think and Grow Rich," or "Power of Your Subconscious Mind" classics that still apply a century later! Do this, and you will never fall into this trap again! Your new beliefs and attitudes about yourself will warn you every time you are about to say something inauthentic. And you'll turn your "saboteur" into your ally--with the power of CHOICE. Instead of thinking you are at the whim of what the 'boss' or corporation says.
Here again is the TRAP that we can get into as entrepreneurs coming out of the "working world," it's called being inauthentic to save our own butts (or that of the company) and then getting burned in the end. This is a trap many new business owners, especially network marketers can fall into when they first begin being their own boss. They take the road of least resistance which ends up costing them a heck of a lot more in the end.
We have to dig deep to uncover our own humanity to really be successful and feel good about what we do as entrepreneurs leading others to create more joy and happiness in their lives. If we do this from a place of loving kindness and authenticity, we will reap such rich rewards in all areas of our lives. Today, go out and tell someone how you really feel, be authentic and trust yourself.
Thanks for reading! Till next time.
