Is your business weighing heavily on you? Are you so concerned about getting results that you're not sleeping well and you aren't fully present and effective when you're running your business? Are you getting disappointing results? The paradox is if you want to get great results, put your attention and energy on creating and let go of your expectations.

Do you believe that this is a limited universe and things can only show up the way you've decided they're supposed to? Are you following somebody's 'foolproof' system and believe you're a loser if it doesn't work exactly the same for you? What if you're different and unique. Not in a bad way, but in a wonderful creative way. What if you could create and receive things in ways you can't even imagine.

Consider a more expansive way of doing business. You have a deep confidece that this universe is abundant and you're open to receiving everything you desire. You're confident that money will show up if you keep asking questions and pay attention to your intuitive knowing. You become aware of what actions to take and focus on effective action without worrying about the outcome. You're fully present and effective in each moment. When it's necessary you become aware of every aspect of your business that needs attention. You use business systems, but you use them with awareness and know when to improvise.

This is conscious business. It's what can make your life and business full of spontaneity and joy. And profits. Not being vested in the outcome and not resisting and reacting to or aligning and agreeing with people and events sets you free. You are free to be fully you and you are free to powerfully use your business savvy and people skills in every moment. When you agree with something, you're under it's influence. You're not being fully you. When you resist against something, you're fighting it. It has a hold on you. You're not free.

Allowance is seeing everything, including your own opinion as just an interesting point of view. When your opinion is no longer significant, you don't have to align and agree or resist and react against anything. You are being you and not the effect of the world. You're then like a rock in a stream that allows everything to pass by it, instead of being swept away. You can fully experience everything without losing your self. When you can receive all things and not hold onto anything, you can be totally you.

You then start to have choice. As long as you're in judgment, you limit what can show up in your life. What shows up will be limited to how and what you've decided can or should happen. Are you willng to create in infinite ways what you 're truly looking for. When you allow everyting to be as it is without judging it, you have the freedom to receive what you desire without being concerned about how it shows up. What would it take for you to choose a dynamically fun and expansive way to live and run your business?

Thanks to Gary Douglas of Access for identifying allowance and interesting point of view.
