This post is a recap of some of the ideas I presented at a workshop for business owners and entrepreneurs sponsored by Accion San Diego. The following video is the power point presentation from that event.

For a long time I have struggled with what seems to be two opposing forces. One being the nature of business and how to make money and the awakening of my spiritually. It wasn’t until I started reading Michael Gerber’s book titled Awakening the Entrepreneur Within that I was finally able to reconcile both worlds. If fact there wasn’t even a need to reconcile these two paths because they were so similar and dealt with many of the same issues that I have experienced personally.

My philosophy for life is easily distilled down to this. Business, relationships and life are our teacher. Let me say it this way I believe that life is our greatest teacher. My purpose in life is to grow and evolve into my full potential. Which in most cases means learning how to eliminate things or let go of things rather than trying to get more of something. With that said, my view of business is really an opportunity to grow and evolve as a human being through some very predictable stage that are also similar to the path or evolution of consciousness.

Okay let me explain how I see life and how that translates or parallels to business. It all begins with an individuals idea that we are some how separate from everything. And then you start going about your life from that assumption as if it where true. What that looks like is I have to look out for me. My faith and trust is solely invested into my own abilities. Therefore I don’t really trust anyone or anything greater than myself at which point I have made a decision to separate myself from the whole of humanity and now must do everything on my own. Hum! Sounds a lot like most entrepreneurs. Right! The ultimate lone ranger.

One of the very sad things I have notice particularly now in the midst of a very challenging economy is people are tiered. As more and more businesses fail and corporate layoffs increase people are down and very discouraged. Best business practiced that once worked in a robust economy are complete and utter failure. As the economy shifts what follows are huge layoff and people reeling in mass confusion as the scramble to reinvent themselves.

Some see this a tremendous opportunity while others believe it is the beginning of the end. As people start to seek out new opportunities based on there past experiences the challenges of not finding suitable work stirs images of the American Dream of perhaps owning my own business. It is often in the ashes of such despair that the entrepreneur is born.

I would love to hear your thoughts. Please leave your comments below.

How To Put The Passion Back Into Your Business

Sponsored by ACCION San Diego

Presented by Greg Clowminzer

Six million new businesses are started every year and 90% fail within two years. “Just because you love what you do-doesn’t mean you are an entrepreneur. Growing as an entrepreneur goes far beyond personal growth. “If you open up and awaken to the Creator within, your world is transformed.” Greg calls this Conscious Entrepreneurship, meaning that you have to make your vision BIGGER than earning a living and paying bills.

Workshop Take-Aways

• Know Your “Why” For Being In Business
• Learn the Hedgehog Process to Define Your Niche
• Create An Inspiring Vision That Pulls You Into The Future
• Network With Other Entrepreneurs
• Plus much more…

So begin to dream big about your work and about your life. Create a system that you can test. Allow imagination and passion to take hold, and realize most profoundly that anything is possible.

A Personal Note From Greg

Awakening: The act of awaking, or ceasing to sleep.

Entrepreneur: An entrepreneur is a term applied to the type of personality who is willing to take upon himself a new venture or enterprise and accepts full responsibility for the outcome.

For a long time I have struggled with what seems to be two opposing forces. One being the nature of business and how to make money and the awakening of my spiritually. It wasn’t until I started reading Michael Gerber’s book titled “Awakening the Entrepreneur Within” that I was finally able to reconcile both worlds. If fact there wasn’t even a need to reconcile these two paths because they were so similar and dealt with many of the same issues that I have experienced personally.

What Would Life BE Without Friends?

Living Truth – is also known as Thursday Night Group and would be best defined as a spiritual community.

We all long to be part of something greater than ourselves. Yet, left on our own it is easy to fool ourselves and the people around us. Participating in spiritual community is how we deepen our understanding of who we are and what is really TRUE for us.

I have had the honor of hosting weekly gatherings for many years. The things that I have learned and the many people I have meet along the way have been life changing. I went through a series of personal awakenings in the early 90′s followed by a growing interest of people wanting to learn from me. I became recognized as spiritual madman who was able to create massive movement in people’s lives. What happened shortly there after was both exhilarating and frightening. Almost over night I become a self-realized spiritual teacher. I became passionate about helping others heal, wake up, and break free of their years of conditioning. My passion for helping people opened Pandora’s box.  It seems that most individuals actually wanted to remain little children and idolize me as their holy daddy instead of taking full responsibility for their life. As much as I tried to lead them to their own inner wisdom and be their own inner guru, they continued to seek my advice for decisions and actions to take in their life.  Learning how to deal with this student-teacher dynamic was both  my greatest challenge and biggest gift.

After 9 years of teaching and leading groups, I needed to step back from everything and re-examine what worked and what didn’t work and come up with new ways of working with people. I spent 3 years contemplating my previous 9 years, and now spend Thursday evenings sharing what I have learned. I feel that a ripening has taken place within me and a renewed passion for being with others in the world.

Today, Living Truth is a refuge for seekers, a safe and loving environment to reconnect with yourself, others and the divine.

Each evening has it’s own unique flavor which may include meditation, dyads, dharma talks, life coaching, guide imagery, spontaneous wisdom teachings,  group exercises and more.

It is a spiritual community which is defined by each member’s willingness to embrace truth teachings and spiritual practices.

I hope you will join us sometime.

In love and service,

Greg

“If you are feeling stuck in life, dealing with big challenges or simply want to reconnect with yourself in a deep and meaningful way, then I urge you to join me for what will be a very special day.” -Greg

Greg Clowminzer will spend a relaxed day exploring the power of dyads. With dyads we set aside the normal learning culture of books and knowledge gained through training. Using dyads we learn to trust ourselves and to speak from that place of inner awareness. This inner awareness takes time and support and it can’t be rushed. Wisdom grows for each in it’s own way.

Experience directly the power of being in a dyad! Allow yourself the freedom to be and know your true self. Allow this knowledge to be deep, not just on the level with intellectual ideas within a ‘what if’ simulation of reality. Allow your whole being to go beyond conceptualizations in a direct experience of reality, within a way it really is, in a complete union with truth.

In the words of Eihei Dogen – a Japanese Zen Master who lived between 1200 and 1253 said “To study the Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things. To be enlightened by all things is to remove the barriers between one’s self and others. Then there is no trace of enlightenment, though enlightenment itself continues into one’s daily life endlessly.”

Because communication is so important in all areas of personal and professional development it becomes fundamental and primary for real growth. Participating in dyad communication practices has helped thousands of people learn and recognize their own as well as others communication patterns which can effectively  transform  relationships, business and life.

The workshop is dirt cheap at only $79.00 and I offer this workshop at this price out of a deep commitment to help and be of service to others.
