A Good Life and a Good Business

Here are some simple guidelines to help you live a good life:

Hail creativity, not busyness.
Be loving, not fearful.
Seek value, not criticism.
Be forgiving, not resentful.
Operate with caution, not fear.
Seek to understand, not judge.
Work to collaborate, not compete.
Honor the Spirit within, not the ego.
Be courageous, not reckless.
Drive toward results, not toward more demands on your time.
Come from a place of inner confidence, not arrogance.
Be allowing, not controlling.

And a few guidelines for running a good business too:

Celebrate your customers, not your sales.
Be honest, not deceitful.
Cultivate customer loyalty, not more transactions.
Focus on educating customers, not persuading them.
Be grateful, not greedy.
Grow by organic attraction, not forceful promotion.
Come from a place of service, not expectation.
Be serving, not ambitious.
Come from power, not force.

Our lives and our businesses can be as simple or as complicated as we allow them to be. Unconscious mechanisms and programming often hinder our ability to manifest what we truly want.

Living our lives and operating our businesses through simple yet powerful spiritual principles leads to a divinely guided life. This journey is privileged with inner rewards that trump any amount of external compensation.
