If you are an entrepreneur facing cash flow leaks in your business, you’re not alone.  But surprisingly, the answer is NOT in newer software, more marketing or even adding sales staff.

It’s in your mindset.

Our natural approach to tightening of the purse or pocketbook – through decreased sales or a freeze on salary increases – is to look “out there”:  “What could I “do” to change the circumstances I don’t like?”

Or we blame it on the economy, a change in the laws governing our clients, or the fact that a competitor just opened a store two blocks away.

 But none of these factors is the REAL cause of the stalled income.

It is an energetic issue, not a financial one.  Whenever an entrepreneur comes to me and says they are having “cash flow problems,” it usually isn’t about the cash at all.  It is about lack of clear purpose and mission, fuzzy definition of the ideal customer, lack of business systems, or other factors. 

If your inner world does not please you in every respect, ask yourself what it is reflecting back to you about your own energetic blocks.  For example, if a client wants a refund and gets very upset that they didn’t get what they were promised, you might ask yourself if there is any part of you that is upset because YOU didn’t get something you wanted from life, from a person, or from yourself.  Could you give yourself that gift now?  You may find that the customer issue immediately subsides when you get the energetic message he/she is here to deliver.

Inner work to connect with the heart of your prospective customers, build a welcoming, attractive energy field into which they can enter to do business with you, and even praying before doing a sales call are all techniques the Purposeful Entrepreneur uses in business.  They save much unnecessary output of energy and resources that would be necessary if the inner work was not done first.
