Expanding towards Self Employment

[liberated inferno]

In a nutshell, self-employment is a lot more exciting & comfortable if you've developed a very close relationship with your Inner Being.

I didn't attempt self-employment until I'd learned to still my ego thoughts and hear crystal clear guidance from my IB. I check-in with my IB on occasion throughout the day, particularly if my projects are heading off in new directions. I go and do what my IB tells me to do and I am never disappointed. I often rendezvous with the people, places or resources I need to move forward. In fact, I'm off to lunch today with a former client who says she met someone who may be interested in being an investor.

Besides, if there is ever a time I can't HEAR my IB, it's a sure sign my vibrations are not high and pure enough. Often the next logical step, is to STOP what I'm doing and reach for relief, until I feel genuinely happy (normal again) and have raised my vibrations.

My vibrational set point gets higher every year. I very rarely rollercoaster, or hop in and out of the vortex any more, and I'm learning so much about deliberate CREATING in the vortex. As Abe says, there are always new levels to explore.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't be self-employed without reliable practices that help me hear my IB, find relief quickly, and get me back into the vortex.

Best wishes,
D.

Well, my IB is pointing me towards self employment. It's a feeling that's getting stronger and stronger. It's just that I'm pinching off the stream by worrying about the "practical details". I think my fear is in doing this "alone" and feeling overwhelmed by that prospect (which logically, isn't true). Even in pinching off, the Universe has still sent me people to rendezvous with: my friend offered his help, I got a meeting with a prominent person who works behind the scenes in the business and I met another company owner in the fashion business who has offered to help. So I'm very excited about the rendezvous with these people and seeing where it goes. I just have to keep myself open enough to let the IB stream flow and go downstream with my thoughts about the ESSENCE of my desire.

I came here to see just what you said because I so love your perspective an sure enough it was the perfect explination of what being in buisness for yourself entails. Being self employed is an unstructured ( for most) experience. And if your craving the stability of structure outside what you trust inward your not ready yet. Not that you will never be ready, just not ready yet. It's a transition, a practice I agree. One I'm learning right now as well... thank you D .. you rock...XOXO...ZJ

Yes, you're right, being self employed is not for those who seek structure. I work at a bar and the money flows in relation to how much I'm allowing and frankly it's good practice that I can apply to my self employment efforts ( that just dawned on me right now). Anyway, I could use that to ease myself into a practice in allowing in my business because it is the same principle, just a different environment. I have to keep reminding myself that and just release the oars!

Thank you Jenn, you rock too!

Speaking of transitions, you may be feeling at times like you're in a place of transition, and that feeling can keep the "where is my stuff" vibe active and alive.

My IB taught me recently to accept everything that is happening to me in the present moment, big or small, as an important part of my delicious life. Period. That way I am not so constantly looking forward, expecting circumstances to change so that my REAL life can begin.

There is no such thing as my life will begin when... I move out of my parents house, launch my business, finish school, win the lottery, master this Abe stuff...etc. Your life as it is NOW; living with your folks, going to the office, posting or checking the forum daily, IS the good life you came to live--right here right now. Think of your life as really good right now, and know it just keeps getting better and better.

Also, I do suggest developing a relationship with your Inner Being--not just using your emotions as guidance to determine how far you are from allowing.

Talking to and hearing your Inner Being will help you chill if something is not turning out exactly as you'd dreamed it would, or if you start wondering where the next check, or client is coming from. Hearing your Inner Being is invaluable so that you know just what to say to a prospective friend, client or partner. Hearing your Inner Being you will know exactly where to sit, when to call, stand-up, look-up, listen, do something, etc., to catch or discover someone or something important that was meant just for you. A conversation with your Inner Being can help pre-pave the perfect day. And nothing can compare to hearing your Inner Being say, "It's all good--right here, right now. I love you, and everything is coming together perfectly."

All is well,
D.

Hi LI, I think I should have enunciated the I. Gee, it can be awfully difficult to read tone of voice can't it?! I didn't mean you shouldn't be self-employed. Not for a second did I doubt you are being led towards self-employment.

Quite frankly, (from experience, knowing what I know now), I wouldn't be self-employed without reliable practices that help me hear my IB, find relief quickly, and get me back into the vortex. (You of course, can take my advice or leave it, it will all work out all the same. I'm so excited for you! Best wishes).

That's the tone I typed. Sounds like you have a good handle on next steps. I wish you well.

Thank you, that is genius! It's true, I got centered on having a great day and several.wonderful experiences lined up. I can see my photography buisness lining up. I'm shooting a model tomarrow am and I'm already booked to do another family soon. I love these shoots they are so much fun. And I've recieved several leads on agents for my book from friends and through following links. Really a lot of things keep showing up daily that support me being in business for myself. But your so right to point out the fact that its a relationship. Not just the emotions. I don't really talk that much to my ib like i should. You were right, I do use my emotions as a compass sometimes to take score. I should really expand the emotional guidence beyond that to hearing the voice within...

Find the ESSENCE of them, rather than the specifics of them, and give the universe "permission" to bring you that, rather than creating "a tight, narrow tube of manifestation that the Universe must produce through" (in other words, decrease resistance and broaden the scope of what you want to do, by going general, to have "more cracks of least resistance").

For example, I could say, "I'm a writer, and I must only be successful in producing a bestselling novel and making millions from it" or I could say "I love creating/painting with words," "I love being a communication bridge," "I love feeling prosperous," "I love seeing my words printed and readable by many," "I love receiving money quickly," "I love having many different sources of prosperity," "I love writing about a great variety of things," "I love having my words come out just the way I wrote them, seeing and feeling my energy on the page."

So what do I have? I have my own business translating words for the world's biggest entities, words that are read by millions of people that I see in print and online almost immediately, for which I get paid regularly and quickly, and I can work anywhere and don't have to spend weeks traveling and researching articles and then having an editor chop it to bits. I put stuff in my own words on many, many different topics, they get left the way I wanted them, and I get paid more money, and more quickly, than most writers. And I do it at home in my sweats, or can do it on my laptop anywhere in the world. AND I can publish a novel and make millions (without waking up in cold sweats with writer's block or because the last royalties check was so small or angry that an editor cut out half of Chapter 12).

Open your mind and find the CONCEPTS of what you like to do and let the Universe work its magic and find a great combination for you of all those things you like, and imagine it feeling easy, thrilling, independent, powerful, fun, freeing, creative, happy, etc.
