4 Steps to Run Your Business Intuitively
Business Is Magic
This may be a bit of a controversial thing to say. When you tie capitalism and mysticism, and can get a little foggy. I truly believe running a business is the single handed best thing I’ve done for my mental, physical, and spiritual health. It has given me the space to create a life that centers around intuition, mysticism, and creativity.
As the world around us start to crippidy crumble, entreprenuer’s remain at the forefront of how to serve the community. What does the world need as things change at lightning speed. Small business is the backbone of innovation. We are the revolution. Creating a business that is completely indicative of what you want to bring in the world is a form of art.
All business owners use intuition to run their business. The idea and pursuit of crafting a business is a stroke of intuition. A divine gift. While you can crunch numbers and see what makes the most sense, some of the best ideas come from a jotted down idea in the middle of the night. Or a stroke of genius during a jog or dance session.
4 Ways to Use Intuition In Business
Inject Pleasure
We all know that running a business can face the most risk and uncertainty of almost any career. You have to have a high risk tolerance, and be able to sustain a level of stress that you have so you don’t have a nervous breakdown. There is an amount of delusion and focus that probably account for all of the psychotic 5am CEO morning routine bullshit.
Mindset is not fucking joke. However, the easier way to get that mindset is to have a good fucking time. To take such absurd joy in the day to day, that it really feels like working is edging.
“How lucky am I to have my own fucking business”
For real, how fucking cool if it that you have a business that you can just have an idea and send it. You can make it whatever you want. You can shift and pivot wherever you want.
Inject pleasure through the day- cue psychotic morning routines. I personally like to journal, stretch, walk, tarot, and dance. Working and creating things for your business is going to become so much more magnetic and pleasurable if you are doing something in a way, or with people, that just make you feel fucking good.
When you feel good, it is so much easier for you intuition to come through. Intuition can just sing a pretty song when you are already singing a song, and bathing in the bliss of life.
No Think
This is something that came very far down the line. I thought something was wrong with me the way I would just… stare. Stare at the window, stare at the wall, stare at the floor. Staring became something I just did. I was a little worried, but never worried enough to stop. I was telling a friend about this who is currently getting her PhD, and she said all academics have staring time. She explained that you would walk past lounges and you would see people sitting in chairs just… staring.
This came to my relief, and then I respected this as part of my process, and now I just think of this as no think time. With so many voices and thoughts being passed through your noggin at all times, it is necessary to wipe that slate clean, and be able to hear nothing.
This can be done through exercise: dancing, walking, running, weights, swimming, whatever. It can also be done through meditation, or just by simply staring. This is such an imperative process to activate the intuition. How can you hear yourself, your inner guidance, your intuition- if it is constantly being pumped with different ideas that aren’t yours. Keep the head empty so you can hear your own voice.
The clearer your own voice is, the deeper you are able to know yourself which makes it infinitely easier to know your own voice- and listen to your unwavering intuition. In business, you’ve got to be a few steps ahead- and when you are playing the game with your intuition- it literally become a cheat code that real send you leaps and bounds ahead of wherever the fuck you thought you wanted to go.
Write Shit Down
This is the power. We are said to have thousands of thoughts throughout the day (how do they really know this??) And one way to start having more control of your thoughts and subconscious is writing things down that you want to represent you.
Write down things like: ideas, dreams, goals, tracking things, etc.
When you carry a pen and paper with you, you are preparing yourself to be the most effective magician at all times. Inspiration strikes whenever it pleases. When you have the tools to write down the inspiration, that’s when it really gets solidified. I really like to track interesting astrological transits, as well as my dreams in the morning. Any habit of putting your pen to a piece of paper, is a habit of creating a deeper connection with yourself- thus strengthening your intuition.
For business, half of my half baked ideas come completely out of left field and then I scribble in my notebook. Full concepts of music videos, and fun things to do and launch in my business come when I least expect it, but I act with the swiftness of the sword (pen).
Act On It
The greatest fun is acting on your intuition. That crazy lil idea you had. Whether it is something small- like going to a specific park to read a book- or something big- like moving to another country and starting a completely new business- the more you show yourself that you are your safety net, the more your intuition can flourish.
There is beauty in creating things out of nothing. Ideas are a gift and will blossom when acted on. An important thing to note- sometimes the idea might not work out. However, the energy of trusting yourself and making shit happen is stirring the cosmic soup that will allow you to open up another door, that you might not have even thought about.
Remember, the more you practice this the more of a rapport you create with yourself, and the easier this all becomes.
