Technalink has benefited greatly from being a business based on spiritual entrepreneurship. However, to commit to this approach for business, it requires a willingness to adopt some key traits. Here are three things you should cultivate in yourself if you want to take part in spiritual entrepreneurship.
A Service-Based Approach
Spiritual entrepreneurship is not about trying to figure out the best ways to get things from other people, but rather thinking of ways to support other people. The most highly prized products and services are those that look at real needs and address them. Seeking ways to serve others rather than take from them lays the foundation for spiritual entrepreneurship.
Encouraging Growth & Development
Another essential trait of spiritual entrepreneurship is a focus on growth. A business, like a business leader, should be willing to look at the current environment and choose to grow and adapt with it. A spiritual entrepreneur should be committed to personal growth and development, but should also extend this same ethic to the employees of the company and the business itself. A business that can’t grow and adapt will inevitably be left behind as circumstances and business environments change.
Embrace Compassion
Compassion for yourself and others is critical to spiritual entrepreneurship. The best way to think of compassion is “empathy turned into action.” It is the willingness to take an understanding of the feelings and needs of others, and then manifest that into some kind of positive outcome in the world. Taking care of yourself and putting in the effort to care for others puts everyone and everything in a better position to grow and improve.
