Make Your Business Work For You
Is your business working for you or are you working for your business?
If your business was working for you, would that create a joyful business? Would that create a joyful life and living? Because, guess what? Your life is your business and your business is your life!
So, what’s fun for you? What do you love to do so much that you would do it for free; for the sheer joy of it? What is so easy for you that you think anyone can do it? Those are your capacities that you can turn into a business that works for you and you can make money from. Write them down. Start to recognise all that you are capable of. What if you were willing to acknowledge your capacities and you knew that you were brilliant?
To create joy in your business, life and living, follow the creativity that you have. Don’t limit yourself, or let anyone else limit you. Look at the most famous artists in the world; they didn’t allow anyone to limit them. Even though their art is worth millions of dollars today, some people would have looked at it and gone, “that’s crap”. If they had bought into that, would they have been able to sell their art for that sort of money?
You can’t just copy someone else and expect things to be ‘successful’. If you choose something that is not fun for you, then you end up resenting it and you never really create what you would like to create. Create beyond everyone else’s points of view and your own fixations and trust what is fun for you.
Destroy and uncreate everything that comes up that suggests you ‘can’t’ or you ‘shouldn’t’ and everywhere you buy into this reality’s points of view about the ‘right way to go’. And use the Access Consciousness® light and heavy tool, because what’s light for you is always the right direction for you. Then you will create a business that you actually like and enjoy, and it will get bigger and bigger even if it is totally unconventional.
Find a method that works for you in business. You don’t have to do it like everybody else.
You have to be willing to receive, and that includes receiving the gift that you are to the world. It comes back to acknowledging your capacities and your brilliance. So often people don’t want to be seen in business; it’s a really common theme. Then they have a great reason and justification to complain about why their business isn’t working or why it isn’t making money. Do you really want to destroy your business just because you aren’t willing to receive the gift of you and what you contribute to the world?
Ask, “What would it take for me to acknowledge my capacities today?”
Practice pushing your barriers down and receive the gift that you are in the world.
And, be willing to receive judgment. Because those who create greater attract attention, which is good for business, and they attract judgment. Be willing to receive praise. Be willing to receive envy. Be willing to receive all energies. What else could be possible then?

How To Start A New Business In Your 50's
If you’ve come up with a fantastic business idea, it’s never too late to start. There are so many possibilities out there, I always say don’t wait for anything. This is your life — not a dry run. Don’t give up your point of view for anyone else’s. However, it helps to know the creative processes and the three energies required for success.
Any business starts with a new idea; that’s the generative energy. It’s the “wow” moment of your life. You get enthusiastic and filled with a sense of infinite possibilities. Some people are great at coming up with ideas for business, but without the other two more elements they could remain just ideas.
To actually bring your fantastic ideas to fruition requires creative energy. Creation is where you continually put energy into your business. You’re constantly looking at things like: who do you have to speak to? Where do you have to be? What money is required? What tools are required? You’re constantly creating, constantly making choices. Every choice you make will create something different.
In business, it’s easier to make choices when you function from what you know. If you are faced with different options and find it difficult to choose, ask yourself: what’s the lightest choice I have here? It may seem a bit strange at first but you’ll know instantly which choice has a sense of lightness and expansiveness to it. Many people make business decisions significant. What if it wasn’t about weighing up what’s going to happen? And you don’t have to get it right. Just because you make a certain choice doesn’t mean you have to stick to it. You can always choose something else.
The third element is instituting or maintaining. It’s what you have to do every day to keep customers coming through the door. Institution doesn’t have to be boring, or static. It actually can expand the business if you’re willing to ask questions, rather than habitually doing the same thing. I work on many different projects and every day I ask, “Which project requires me today? What do I have to institute today?” When you ask a question, you’ll always get the information so you know what to do next. It could be making three phone calls a day. It could be reaching out to a different client or customer base. Ask and you shall receive… you get the general idea!
The good news is, you don’t have to do it all yourself. Which part of the business makes you enthusiastic? The generative, creative, or institutive parts? Once you know what’s fun for you, look for someone who can assist you with the other parts and add them to your business.
Now or for the future?
You may find coming up with ideas of potential businesses easy, however, recognise when the time is ripe to pursue them. A tool I received from the founder of Access Consciousness® Gary Douglas is to get a little notebook and write down all my ideas as they come to me. He calls it a Possibility Book. Then with each idea I ask: Is this for now or the future?
Allow yourself to receive the awareness, and you will know whether to pursue it straightaway, or whether you should hold onto it for the future.
A last word…
I’ve never created anything for money. I’ve always created for the fun of creating and the money has showed up from that. If you make a business about the money then it’ll always be about the money. What I’ve found is this, money follows joy; joy does not follow money.
