What if the business is not about you...at all?
Zero percent. It has nothing to do with you.
I was just partying with a rockstar...
A singer...on a monday night...
We were getting into some deep conversations on the parallels between what we do. Him as a singer, myself as a writer/entrepreneur.
I said it would be cool if I wrote a song for him to perform at one his upcoming shows (I've never written a song before). I told him that, and he said it would great.
Then I asked him how he comes up with the songs he writes.
He told me the first step is that he gets the beat in his mind. It's not from some logical thoughts, but from flow state....the vibes just "flow out of him".
But the vibes don't always float out of him.
When he tries to thing, or tries to do...and thinks about it, it doesn't work.
"What separates the time from when you get into flow state, and when you don't?" I asked.
His response was a response I would never forget for the rest of my life...
And I would never forget this because I experienced the same thing, when it comes to getting to flow state...
When I write things on here and on my blog and in my books, I see my words and lessons resonate with a LOT of people....sometimes.
But other times, not so much.
Do you know what makes the difference?
The answer for both him and myself....I have brought people to tears with my writing. He has brought entire audiences to tears with his singing...the answer is this...
Everything naturally flows....when every ounce of energy is flowing through us...to 100% and only benefit other people.
When I talk or write to someone with a specific problem, the words just flow out of my mouth. When I write, I write to an audience...and the words just flow out of my mouth.
An interesting thing happens when I get into flow state...I don't even have to think of the words, they just come out. And the more interesting thing is, 100% of the time, my words are the EXACT words the person I'm talking to needed to hear to benefit their life.
I have made thousands of dollars from one product earlier on in my entrepreneur career....by just flowing and helping people with 100% focus on them...where they bought my product afterwords.
The important part I noticed from this conversations, it's almost as if I disappeared.
My self. Myself...was not even in the picture. It was just some natural flow of words or music, designed to benefit the other person's life.
A friend once asked me a few months ago how do we get into flow state?
The answer is this: Remove yourself from the equation. It is not about you. At all.
Any ounce of YOU being left, blocks flow state.
It's all about the others. Music that comes naturally out of him, because it's not about him. He is not up in his head. He is 100% in the zone.
He experienced this with his music....and he brings crowds of people to tears of joy.
I experienced this with my writing....and I change lives
But what if you apply this to your business?
What if you completely remove yourself from the equation. Screw those $10,000 per month goals. Screw the lamborghini. Screw wanting to quit the job.
What if that is all gone. What if it is just the flow state and helping your cusomters?
I don't know where that will lead you, but from my experience, and this singers experience....This might be the very thing you needed to hear to allow you to reach that next level.
You don't exist.
