Conscious Entrepreneurship
Charlon Bobo   Intuitive Business Decision-Making Made Easy

With intuition we engage the
instinctive and unconscious knowing
without deduction or reasoning



Intuition is receiving input and ideas without knowing exactly how and where you got them. You simply know they are not a result of your pool of accumulated life knowledge.

Like creativity, intuitive inspiration often happens when we are in heightened states of emotion, anticipation or peaceful bliss. Intuitive abilities can be honed and refined to richly enhance our lives. And they can easily be adapted for business use!

Most of us are familiar with making intuitive decisions in our daily lives, but not so familiar or comfortable using this approach for business. However, things are a-changin' and trends in business now include what were once unheard-of methods for managing very successful and lucrative empires.

Intuitive decision making is much more expansive than using common sense because it involves additional sensors to perceive and become aware of information from the outside. Sometimes it is referred to as gut feeling, sixth sense, inner sense, instinct, inner voice, spiritual guide, etc. It is related to developing a higher consciousness in order to train these sensors and to make the process of receiving information intuitively a more conscious one.

The question isn't whether rational reasoning or intuitive decision-making is better. Both are valuable tools in the toolkits of life. The question is rather how both approaches can be best combined for optimal results.

This is what some well-known people had to say about intuition:

Albert Einstein
(Theoretical physicist who is widely considered one of the greatest physicists of all time. Best known for the theory of relativity, Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and "for his services to Theoretical Physics.")

"The only real valuable thing is intuition."

"There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance."

John Naisbitt
(Former executive of IBM and Eastman Kodak, American writer in the area of futures studies, author of several international best-sellers like "Megatrends" and "Re-inventing the Corporation.")

"Intuition becomes increasingly valuable in the new information society precisely because there is so much data."

Alexis Carrel
(French surgeon, biologist and eugenicist, Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine)

"All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know."

"Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality."


Henry Reed
(British poet)

"Intuition is the very force or activity of the soul in its experience through whatever has been the experience of the soul itself."

"It is as if the intuitive sense acting through the soul is what makes the raw events into food for the soul."

Immanuel Kant
(German philosopher)

"Intuition and concepts constitute... the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge."

George Crumb
(American composer of modern and avant garde music)

"In general, I feel that the more rationalistic approaches to pitch-organization, including specifically serial technique, have given way, largely, to a more intuitive approach.

Robert Graves
(English poet, scholar, and novelist)

"Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer."

Lao Tzu
(ancient Chinese philosopher)

"The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days."

Anne Wilson Schaef
(writer and lecturer)

"Trusting our intuition often saves us from disaster."


This is no group of slackers. If they say there's something valuable about intuition, we should all pay attention!

So, how do we use intuition in business? The same way we use it in our personal lives. So, how do we do that? We:

1. ask our spiritual source for help.
2. invite in the best solutions for all parties.
3. release our attachment to a specific outcome.
4. know our request will be answered.
5. pay attention to what shows up in front of us.
6. express gratitude by thanking Angels, Source, God, The Universe, Mother Earth (whatever you call your Higher Power).
7. take immediate action.

Your response will most likely come as a "feeling." At first, this may be so subtle, it's hard to read. Don't sweat it. Just relax and pay attention. It gets easier the more you exercise this muscle and acknowledge the process with gratitude EVERY TIME you get a response... which will be after every request!

With the enormous growth and increasing awareness of conscious -- or spiritual -- entrepreneurship, this approach will become second-nature. Just like you cannot remove the eggs from a baked cake, you cannot separate out your spiritual life from your business life... nor would you want to. There's no reason for the separateness. It only serves to feed the old paradigm which is quickly crumbling into a mass of rubble.

We're moving into a new age, folks, and with new times come the necessity for new skills like intuitive business decision-making. No longer is intuition pushed aside as woo-woo hullabaloo. It is a proven method of manifesting real-world results with ease and joy.

From the Editor's Desk
Charlon Bobo   Thoughts on sovereignty, service and other stuff

C-face
Sovereignty
noun

rightful status, independence, or prerogative

So, I've been thinking about how we hold sacred space for others, how we help others maintain their dignity and the role each of us plays in offering the gift of sovereignty.

There are no definitive conclusions yet... just more considerations as the days pass. I think each of these explorations deserves its own mindful assessment, but for the purposes of this note, they are lumped together because there's a common thread: We are here to be of service to each other... in some form, in some fashion, in some way. We do it based on our unique talents, our preferences and a myriad of other components, but nevertheless, a sense of service is prominent.

Do you realize only you can make your valuable and irreplaceable contribution? That if your light doesn't shine, the world and its inhabitants feel the impact? That you are precious and valuable even when you feel or think your life makes no difference?

My personal "business" card says, "Charlon Bobo, Muse, Seer of Potential, Divine Guide." I tell you this because it is becoming so much more clear to me that we need to support each other. I exist to reflect your glory. I serve as a reminder and model that we need to be more accessible and transparent. We must step up to provide an element of dignity where its lacking. We must learn what it is to live and breathe spiritual sovereignty. We must give voice and life to all forms of justice. We must be bold and fearless when living our lives. For they are of the few things that matter as we create a new collective based in love.

I can only be the best Charlon I can be. You can only be the best you you can be, but it's incumbent upon each of of us to step into our roles and do what we agreed to do. I cannot play your role and you cannot play mine. It takes a global village to accomplish greatness. Let's do it!

What's your role?

In Sisterhood, Light & Love,
