entrepreneurship

Hey friends, 

Online business has been the greatest cause of my growth, probably even more so than travel. 

I love business, because business has nothing to do with business. 

I don’t think anything in life, paints such a clear picture of our internal world, and our habits, beliefs, than business.

Business is very revealing of the individual.

See, its common for those who want to pursue life at a deeper level, to know themselves and life deeply- to feel as though the path is to go into the mountains, into the ashram or into the temple. To retreat from society into some utopia. 

This can have its place no doubt.

However, I believe much of the time, its an escape from confronting the real work to be done on yourself. 

Real growth isn’t about letting go of the world and retreating into some sanctuary. The master is able to live in 2 worlds. 

To go deep into himself / herself, while also creating in the world. This is real mastery. 

Chances are, business will bring up more of your shit than any other pursuit.

There’s good reason why only 15% of people have a go at entrepreneurship. 

For most its too much to confront all that arises on such a path. And so they form beliefs that justify not building their own thing- beliefs that business isn’t for them, “money isn’t the most important thing“, “I’m more of a creative.“

Let me be clear; business has got nothing to do with business, nothing to do with money, and it is the most courageous & creative thing you could spend your life doing. 

Entrepreneurship is so confronting, because it all leads back to you. 

And you, there is no avoiding.
