The Power of Your Own Story: A Boon to Conscious Entrepreneurs

Posted: 05/10/11 06:41 PM ET

How Your Own Life Experience Reveals Your Genius And Provides Your Ultimate Market Advantage

In preparing to teach our "Conscious Entrepreneurs" program, I (GH) made a little video that shows how your own story has a magic power embedded in it. Here's the key point: Not only does your own story contain the seeds of your genius, but it will also help you discover what I call your Transformational Magic Power. Your TMP determines your ability to create a space in which others can move rapidly toward fulfilling their true potential. Your TMP is the sum total of the creative possibilities you're broadcasting to others, even when your mouth is closed.

What is it about you that does or doesn't inspire transformation in others? That's a question I asked myself once upon a time, and it led to a discovery that helped me build several thriving businesses.

Thirty years ago, when Kathlyn and I were setting up our own transformation business, I discovered a secret. Here it is: You already have your Transformational Magic Power in your possession. You may not be able to define it or articulate it yet, but I haven't met anyone yet who didn't have a Transformational Magic Power worth cultivating. You may not yet know how to harness its full power to help you create life-satisfaction and financial well-being, but I'm convinced you have that capability. Not only that, I'm confident you can do whatever miracles you want to accomplish in your life with it. I used its power to create an abundance of life satisfaction while also creating several multi-million dollar businesses that have thrived steadily through all the ups and downs of the economy since the early '80s.

Now, here's an even more valuable secret, one that becomes a source of great market advantage in business: There's only one of you. You are unique, and anything there's "only one of" is perfectly positioned to create a thriving business and a happy life. If you understand your story and feel your way deeply into the very essence of it, there you will find a Transformation Magic Power that you can extend to other people. In my experience, there is no greater life satisfaction than giving the gift of your magic power to other people. If you so choose, you can offer that magic power to others through your consulting, your teaching and your other callings in the world. If you want to create a thriving business, you can also turn your Transformational Magic Power into a tremendous source of abundance. Even though I've thrived from that discovery for many years, it still thrills me every day and inspires me to share it with others.

I invite you to ask yourself: What's my story? What have I learned from it that can change the lives of others? How can my story serve me in my quest for love, abundance and life-satisfaction?

I made a little video that explains more about your Transformational Magic Power and how to access it. You can view it here.

Let us know if you resonate with this principle. We'd love to hear from other conscious entrepreneurs who've turned the power of their own story into magic.

I am so appreciating the powerful questions that have lead me to a life of creativity and service It made it very easy for me to stay grounded while starting my business. I am able to stay away from the internal drama to focus on serving. Thanks to Katie and Gay!

Kathlyn and Gay, what you describe here is exactly my story! I had no expectation that my journey would create what it has and still, here I am. Living a conscious life from an inquiry-exploration-discovery context, my unique contribution literally found me and is now my work through which I support others in their own journey and discovery of their individual potential.

Every single element of QuintessentialYou Design, the QuintessentialYou Blueprint and its processes emerged through presence to my own life, my inquiries, and explorations. It is too much to write in a comment here but I invite you to visit my website and blog if you are interested in learning more. One thing I have learned for certain: If we are willing to take the journey to really know ourSelf, there within at the level of our subtle quintessence lives every element of our potential and the place of
Essence Emerging Form!
Thank you for speaking in to our individual and collective opportunity of life!

Thanks for writing this. I recently spent a week visiting my parents and went through stacks of old photos and felt as if I were reading my story visually. I found such richness in doing that (thinking about what TMP was there throughout) and an ability to love myself that increased the younger I got in the photographs. The explorer within was always there and is very much of service to others in my work.

This is great news! what fun to think of what I have been "working on" my whole life and bring that to life through my work...it is of course what I am most passionate about...

this is how to make it all easy and fun and be One life rather than work or home or personal or ...

thanks for the inspiration!

I do believe that each person has his/her own power to transform their life. I knew that I didn't want to work in an office the rest of my life so I quit my job and moved to Costa Rica. It was challenging but I wouldn't trade that decision for anything. You must believe in your path before you lay the bricks.

This is synchronicity at its finest. :) I'm a lifelong social-conscious entrepreneur (mentored by the late Anita Roddick), always focused on others' stories, supporting their wishes, hopes and dreams. I'm accustomed to being met with a deer-in-the-headlights response when I share my passions and "for the Common Good" philosophy. People ask "Why approach one's livelihood this way?" and I've always replied, "How can we NOT?"

Today, for the first time, I felt compelled to share a bit of my personal journey, and started making an outline for a blog post. I suddenly have a desire to explain what has always fueled my passion and unwavering dedication to this path. My unique story: Where I've come from, where I am, and where I envision going, as I take life moment by moment.

The culmination of my path thus far is manifesting through Wishadoo! (http://www.wishadoo.org) and it dawned on me today that -- just perhaps -- revealing in a very personal way what led me to this point will help others connect to this bigger vision, rather than simply seeing another website.

Your post seems like a confirmation of this. Thank you so much. :)
