Need help starting a business based off my abilities & interests

[playdoh]

Hi!!! So this is a looong time coming! Seriously! Today I felt a tiny whisper “telling” me to post on here asking for help. 

I’ve been looking for a while on ways on how to bring in financial abundance. 

My first feeling and idea that has stuck since 2008 is to be a digital nomad. A la 4 hour work week & spend most of my time doing things I love. I want the freedom where if I wanted to travel to India for a month and meditate I can. 

I’ve tried this many times but never ended up succeeding. Don’t know if I have the entrepreneurial spirit, I’m getting better at becoming a self starter (maybe I never did something I’m truly passionate about?). 

However i don’t know if being a digital nomad now feels shallow to me somehow. Maybe I’ve just been hanging around to many green hippies all about saving the planet & purpose. 

My “spiritual” “abilities”:
I seem to come into places and totally transform spaces/people just with my presence. Seriously. I have a keen awareness and apparently can see peoples faults really easy (I don’t know how much I want to be telling this story because honestly I’m trying to become more of a loving & accepting person). 

But it’s really powerful. A lot of my family members and friends have pointed this out. I can see their deep gratitude. 

If I’m in the mood, I’m also really good at counseling/advising people. Been teaching people online lately, many in China, and I find many of the sessions end with me counseling my students to follow their passion & do what they love. To a few I noticed a strong presence but they didn’t seem to understand it bc they have been so indoctrinated to be working/studying all day. But when I dropped in with them they realized it & also were really appreciative.

My interests:
Nature
Meditation 
Water/ocean
Retreats
Personal development 
Plant medicine retreats
Traveling
Food 
Sports/horse back riding/skiing still seem to excite me at times 

I feel like this post is a bit ego driven but I’ve been pushing myself so hard lately & im just showing all aspects of myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated ??

Hello everyone, 

I wanted to share some thoughts that have been on my mind this morning. I'm feeling a bit vulnerable, but I just wanted to jot down my ideas. 

I have been considering starting a program or coaching to help others become "culpavictions," what Sadguru refers to as becoming the creator yourself. Through faith or by organizing the mind, body, energy & emotion; tools of yoga can help with this). I can teach people meditation & healthy eating & help raise consciousness while helping them align with their creator self. 

However, I'm also considering focusing on becoming more present in my own life. As Eckhart Tolle says, outer purpose is not as important as inner purpose, and some fear comes up (maybe it’s just become a story?) that too much focus on external goals could be a distraction from my inner journey. Osho also advises that a busy outer life can detract from inner peace.

Ultimately, what I want is to have a relaxed and joyful outer life, full of dancing, fun, singing, and a yogic lifestyle. I hope to find a job that brings me both freedom and abundance, and I prioritize my own peace and happiness above all else.

Regarding my recent session with chatgpt, I was reminded that I'm still working on becoming a self-starter and self-motivated. If I do create the program I mentioned earlier, I believe it could bring me passive income and help raise the consciousness of humanity.

So, the question is whether I should focus on finding a job that allows me to be present, or if I should work on starting the program despite my challenge, even though I’m getting better & it’s happening, with self-motivation. It's worth noting that I am currently living abroad and hoping to return to a stage green place like Colorado in the mountains, my finances are low at the moment but I am currently working on improving this situation, and things are getting better.

Any guidance would be so much appreciated. Thank you for listening ??

Do leos life purpose course if your looking for something lifelong, im going through it right now...cuz even though im setting up my own business at the same time, i know i need a life purpose. The ego will still exist in part even after an awakening or two id imagine, the sense of self, its just that it'll be seen through with clear light. So the ego still needs that deep central purpose.

in any case, here are some tips that i found useful (some are leo inspired some are my own):

- Find someone (more ideally multiple differnt people or groups of people) who have accomplished what you want to do and find a way to get them to share their wisdom with you. i did this, i got a specialist business coach and community in sales and its badass.

- Try the "copy someone else" strategy (extremely and profoundly powerful).

- Use the app "stickk" to set up a paid accountability partner wherein you pay them if you dont meet the deadlines you set for yourself (you can have someone be a referee as well to verify you've completed the task). i also use this.

- Be extremely determined (you can just force this with unlimited determination and/or harness the power of your values. If you value something deeply you'll be more motivated to do it).

one that ive got more in touch with recently is...

- get in touch with your body, i think humans tend to ignore their body unless its not working correctly or to a satisfactory level. Yoga, dance, acting...expression and connection as well as exercise.

- and, drugs. You need to be mindful of what drugs you need to avoid (psycs can incur demotivation, as can lots of substances and foods). not getting enough h20, correct sugar, managing alcohol/niccotine/coffee consumption, and being sensitive to your mind, if you think you may have any natural "mental disorders" like ADHD, BPD, GAD, SAD, autism, whatever...i think adhd is way more common than people think, its also one that can be increased by excessive gaming in teen years and stuff like that. 

 

out of all of these community and >people< are your most powerful tools, being connected to the right people, being disconnected from the wrong people. its also helpful in business if you can be ruthless and harsh when you need to be
