Be More Effective: Stop Being Attached To Results

When you start a new business, launch a new product or sell to a new customer, are you attached to the outcome? "Of course" you're probably thinking, "isn't everybody? So what? " Well, what happens when your expectations aren't met. Even more important, what happens when you're running your business? Are you fully present, aware and engaged in what's going on? Or are you thinking about end results, not paying full attention to what's happening and the possible opportunities or dangers? Are you getting disappointing results? The paradox is if you want to get great results, put your attention and energy on creating, let go of your expectations.

Do you believe that this is a limited universe and things can only show up the way you've decided they're supposed to? Are you following somebody's 'foolproof' system and believe you're a loser if it doesn't work exactly the same for you? What if you're different and unique. Not in a bad way, but in a wonderful creative way. What if you could create and receive things in ways you can't even imagine.

Consider a more expansive way of doing business. You are confident that this is an abundant universe and are willing to receive everything you desire. You have confidence that money will come to you if you keep asking questions and follow your intuition. You become aware of what actions to take and focus on effective action without worrying about the outcome. You're fully present and effective in each moment. You're aware of what aspect of you business needs attention when it needs it. You use business systems, but you use them with awareness and know when to improvise.

This is conscious business. It's what can make your life and business full of spontaneity and joy. And profits. Not being vested in the outcome and not resisting and reacting to or aligning and agreeing with people and events sets you free. You are free to be fully you and you are free to powerfully use your business savvy and people skills in every moment. When you agree with something, you're under it's influence. You're not being fully you. When you resist against something, you're fighting it. It has a hold on you. You're not free.

Allowance is seeing everything, including your own opinion as just an interesting point of view. When your opinion is no longer significant, you don't have to align and agree or resist and react against anything. You are totally you and not the effect of the world. You're then like a rock in a stream that allows everything to pass by it, instead of being swept away. You can fully experience everything without losing your self. When you can receive all things and not hold onto anything, you can be totally you.

You then start to have choice. As long as you're in judgment, you limit what can show up in your life. Whatever shows up for you will match the judgment of what you think has to happen. Why not be open to infinite ways to create what you're really looking for. When you're in allowance of everything, you can choose to receive what you desire without being attached to how it shows up. Are you ready to choose a dynamically fun and expansive way to live and run your business?

Thanks to Gary Douglas of Access for identifying allowance and interesting point of view.
