A lightworker is someone with the ability to perceive what other people are feeling and thinking. But what if you’re ignoring your own intuition in your business? Business and social media coach Linda Pollock shares some tips on how to tune in when you’re tuned out.

As a lightworker, I know you have come through some kind of awakening experience. There are many reasons we awaken, but the main reason is to remind us of who we truly are. To connect us again when we have strayed too far from our own inner voice, inner wisdom, and soul purpose.

We make changes in our lives. We make self-care a priority. We make time to connect on a deeper level to the spirit, nature, and the universe. And we invite people, places, and situations that are no longer in alignment with our newly awakened self to drift out of our lives. We connect with ourselves and allow our own voices to become louder than the noise of the external world. It’s bliss!

So why do so many of us lightworkers take a step backward in the awakening process when it comes to our business?

We start our businesses with a deep desire to help others—to guide them through their own awakening or life crisis. It comes from a place of empathy, of service, and ultimately, a place of love.

Yet, very quickly, we can find ourselves overwhelmed in the world of the modern-day spiritual entrepreneur. Social media, sales funnels, authentic marketing, fancy websites, the latest blueprint for success, and more.

We find ourselves trying to run an awakened business from a sleep state. The noise of the outside world becomes louder than our own voice. We find ourselves comparing our business to others, questioning our services, taking advice and guidance from people who are good at shouting about how their particular way of working is the best way to run your business.

It can leave us experiencing all the uncomfortable symptoms we felt before our awakening. It raises fear, self-doubt, comparison, judgment, a decrease in self-worth, in our abilities, and in our potential. Ultimately, it can burn us out to the point where we throw in the towel and go back to a standard 9-to-5 job that doesn’t have the same pressures.

So What Can You Do About It?
Simply, you can use all the methods that help you tune in to your own intuition and inner voice in your life and apply those to your business. Tune out of the external noise and tune back into yourself.

If things are not working in your business then take some time to tune in to yourself and see what adjustments need to be made. What feels right for you and what feels wrong?

You can ask these questions:
• Does your pricing need to be increased or decreased?
• Do you feel really good about what you are offering?
• Are you spending too much time on social media?
• Are you getting the right balance of online and offline work?
• Are you doing too much or too little?

Adjust the action you are taking to get the balance right between work and rest; between achieving your goals and being drained by them; between feeling great about your pricing and feeling awkward; and between being visible in your business and hiding behind an underlying fear of being seen and judged.

Make your business work for you!
