Hi everyone, we have tons of snow here, and I am finding out that Wednesday evening meditation, acquisitions and Updates are not compatible. Anyway read on.

This week:Are people taking a more spiritual approach to business?
I am getting input which suggests that they are.
What could it mean?

Just yesterday I have came across an example of spirituality at the centre of what work is all about. Let me explain.

I was listening to a recording of an interview with Michael Gerber (author of the E-Myth). He was saying that when you start out with your business you should be doing it for the right reasons.

By the way at that point in his discourse he had already demolished any idea you may have had about creating a job for yourself. And he had pointed out that working for the business is the way to finish up working for a lunatic (if you would like to read the english version of the article I wrote for the January edition of the magazine "Podjetnik" – Entrepreneur, in Slovenia which has the title "Are you working for a lunatic? " reply to this e-mail with "yes please" as the subject).

As Michael goes on he asks this very pertinent question: "What will your business contribute to your life?"

Michael speaks quite forthrightly about avoiding just doing, doing, doing, busy, busy, busy. He insists on knowing what your objective is and working towards it – with purpose. Working for a living will never be the same again!

Now what does this mean and where is it taking us?

What was once a personal matter that did not often get discussed in the company – spirituality is now out of the box. It is not a religious matter anymore but spirituality is becoming existential to the lives of people in the corporate world. There are already companies who have a "Chief Spiritual Officer"!

And where does this practice take you?

Once you know that, "I am not that which gets stressed out at work", "I am not that which is afraid to screw up", "I am not that which sees a life of working for 40 years" and "I am not ........(this)" and "I am not .........(that)". All these things are just add-on's. And can you disassemble them too? Why not?

You may start to question all your "stuff" – your fears and limitations.
You may open up to: "Can I really decide to be whatever I want?"

"I want to experiment being this", and "I want to experiment being that"- these are the calls of the explorer of the human experience.

The bottom line to all this spirituality: the no- limits human being enjoying life!
Where?
Living in Company, of course, that sounds catchy, could it be the title of a book?!

Nigel coaches people like you to freedom – freedom from limitations, freedom to do/be more, financial freedom, emotional freedom, freedom to be yourself.
