The other week, I met this amazinggg, amazzinggg woman.
She's my age (31 years old), was the CEO of a fashion company with 12 employees at the age of 22, has some amazingly transformative experiences from traveling the world in her late 20's, and is intelligent, smart, and self-aware. She knows how to communicate with people. And has this special gift that I can't even describe in words.
But wait, this isn't a forum on relationships, how does the merging of Masculine & Feminine energy have anything to do with business?
How does this apply to business?
It comes with her definition of the words...
When I told him about the feminine energy, he responded by saying that you don't want to float all around the place and run around aimlessly without direction. You have logic, you have a plan, you think of the future. Those are coming from his head (mind/thoughts).
And he is correct...
Too far in the Feminine Energy direction, and you'll be running around blind.
But the reason why I write about this here is because most of us ego-driven entrepreneurs are too far in the Masculine Energy end of the spectrum.
For example, on this forum I talk a lot about my business Limitless Academy where I cater to the market of newcomers on this forum. Finding the direction, focus, confidence, motivation, etc. through the internal change work stuff.
That's been my focus for years.
When I was speaking to this woman, she planted a vision of the future in my mind.
We looked on Zillow and found this amazingly large cabin mansion house about a quarter mile up in the mountains. The vision we have is that the business owners and executives we network with over the next 6 months will come up to the house 4-8 times per month; we would each use our respective skill-sets to...for lack of a better term - performance enhancement coaching for their business.
Since meeting these two women, my energy levels, focus, and everything has been more on point and on focus than any time in my life. Health, happiness, relationships, fitness, progress - amazing. So I believe in their services.
The problem...
I'm deeply rooted in my passion for targeting a different market.
Online marketing of my services, typing words, etc.
The plan here would be spending 6 months networking with our market at business networking events, coffee shops, conferences in the area, and everywhere - to build up the network of the new market.
Something my ego/mind was resisting. I want the online passive income business.
But according to the Feminine Energy of allowing and going with the 'natural flow of the universe' as she calls it, I kept an open mind and began embracing these new things that come my way. The analogy she used was spiritual and religious in nature (something outside of my current belief system).
Inside of Andrew's body are trillions of cells - all the cells are individual, but all function together for the good of the whole (Andrew). Inside of our universe are trillions of living beings - all the living beings function together for the good of the whole (Spiritual, universe, religion, whatever). And how when we embrace and accept what is flowing outside of our in our lives (feminine) and flow with it...as opposed to resisting it (Ego/masculine); things work out in our favor.
Main benefits of incorporating more Feminine (allowing) into our lives.
1. While still keeping the planning, goals, logic; it allows us to recognize where we might be barking up the wrong tree, step back; and be open to more feedback from mentors, the market, etc.
2. It releases a lot of stress and pressure when things aren't going towards our original plan. When the outside world is mis-alined with our narrative and plans inside of our mind; it causes stress. So by stepping back and allowing those things that once bothered us, to be in our lives and point us in a new direction...a lot of the negative emotions and attachments we once felt in the past were gone.
On the flip side of that...
If you're on the other end of the spectrum, and you float around with no direction, acting on everything that comes your way...it might be a sign to incorporate more of the Masculine (planning) in your life.
For example, I have a lot of opportunities come up to me.
One is working with a member of this forum where he edits a book I'm writing (on a topic he is interested in learning about); mutually beneficial. He gets content, I get real feedback. Him and I randomly touched based one day and allowed this into our lives.
Then, a dude on Facebook messaged me talking about some metal jewelry ring with a snake on it is something he created, and how I should get involved with that. My gut (intuition) is screaming no - it's not aligned with my Masculine direction of the work that I choose to do. So I say no to that.
By having that plan and direction (the book on one topic), it allows me to keep on track without getting too wishy-washy with being all over the place.
How can you apply this balance to your life?
Are you too far in one direction, and might need a little pull in the other?

It comes with her definition of the words...
- Masculine Energy - In this context represents the planning, the logic, the goals, the structure.
- Feminine Energy - In this context represents the flow, the 'dance', the acceptance of everything that comes your way. Don't go into something with a set narrative and intent; and allow what comes to you flow naturally.

- I do behavioral reprogramming, mental/emotional change work.
- She does this crazy spiritual energy magic where, literally every time I talk to her, I feel electricity running through my body for the next 12-24 hours.
- Her roommates does health coaching and got me on a vegan, gluten-free, soy-free diet; without alcohol and eliminating my caffeine.

- Then, a client of mine (who doesn't know this girl), said the same thing...I should really help more people like him (business owners already doing well).
- Then, I meet up with another member of the forum (a roommate of mine from back in the fall off 2014), and without talking to the other two - told me that I should really hone in my marketing on CEOs and that level.

- Set the goal, the end-term plan.
- Then embrace the things that come your way, as they may align with your plan.

Are you too far in one direction, and might need a little pull in the other?
