Part 2 to Launching Your Business with Soul: Intuition!

Speaker A [00:00:08]:
Hey there. It's Virginia James with the zone of purpose podcast and welcome to this encouraging space for women and for those who wanna show up and remember that their wisdom is within. Now, I will say that it took me years to figure this out, but now I will never live my life the way I used to. The rat race, the go go go, that's done for. We're moving on from that because all it gets us is burn out, stress, procrastination, overthinking, you name it. Now, I zone with soul and I'm going to help you do the same by remembering our wisdom is within and living and working from that. Let's get into it.

Speaker A [00:00:50]:
So last week, we were discussing part 1 of this launching a soulful business or if you wanna do that, what to consider. We discussed exhaustion. We discussed, like, doing other people's vision and mission or an org or entity's mission and vision and it doesn't really fit with you, how that feels etcetera and really understanding your own why. That's why we need to do part 2 today because it all weaves together. And what we want to specifically discuss is intuition. K? I am a huge proponent of bringing into your business. Not everyone does it, and that's okay. You do you.

Speaker A [00:01:26]:
If that's not your scene, not a problem. But what I want to bring up today is for those of us who do wanna use our intuition, we need to remember a few points. I even took notes. Okay? So number 1, that intuition, your intuition is gonna intuition is gonna tell you where you're a little bit exhausted. K? Where you need to dial it back. Right? I've, talked about this in a workshop before, dialing back to make an impact. K? So use your intuition to your advantage. It's there for a reason.

Speaker A [00:01:52]:
Okay? But number 2, let's discuss that internal nudges are also market research. K? So if you're in the early stages of your business journey or you're thinking about it, you're like, what do I wanna offer? How do I fill gaps? Why am I unique? Where am I unique? Those internal nudges are there to tell you where you're unique, or there's people like me too. Okay? Totally fine. But use that to your advantage. Don't just always look at what people say whether it's online or in conversation. Yes. That's very useful, but also use that internal wisdom for yourself. Number 3, I lost count.

Speaker A [00:02:33]:
The other thing is I want you to think about how to invite intuition, your intuition, specifically on a daily basis into your business. Okay. There are days where, like even this morning, right, there are days like technology issues, Zoom calls, whatever. That's why this weekly wisdom is a little behind. Shit happens. Shit happens, and shit happens in business. So even though that happens, where can you use your intuition to help kinda guide you into the next step? If you're a little frazzled, what does your intuition say? Like, taking 5, taking a break, even though we don't wanna listen to it because our head knows better? Use intuition in your business because then, an eagle's just flying over the house again. Always happens here on the weekly wisdom videos.

Speaker A [00:03:20]:
But, utilize your intuition to help you nudge into rest, into market research, and do this work with soul instead of just your head because you're gonna get exhausted. It's just a matter of time. So I might not be everyone's cup of tea, after this video especially, but I don't necessarily believe business is all about the headspace. It's not all about mindset, although that really freaking matters, and it helps. I saw something on LinkedIn. Somebody posted within the last couple weeks that being your own business owner is incredibly stressful, and it can be. It can be. But when we weave our intuition in with our business, that stress shifts a little bit.

Speaker A [00:04:06]:
It's still there. It might have a different flavor. We might, approach our days differently or the week or the month or the offer or the launch period differently. But I just want you to consider this is if you can start to weave your intuition on the front end into your business, I would argue that it's gonna help you in the long run because you're gonna know how to not just practice business with your headspace or be like, I'm just gonna decide that I'm gonna get through this. And, yes, again, that is handy. We need those moments to say, wow, it's a dry month. What the fuck am I doing or what's gonna happen here? But then when we're spiraling, we need that intuition. We need that nudge.

Speaker A [00:04:47]:
We need that nourishment within to say, calm down for a second. It's gonna be okay. Because you, as I say on LinkedIn, are a goddamn unicorn and we're gonna figure this shit out. Okay? So your intuition is yours. Like I said in another video somewhere or short or something, your business journey is yours. It's absolutely yours. It's nobody else's. Same with your intuition.

Speaker A [00:05:10]:
So what does your intuition wanna tell you about this business journey? If you want to start it, if you're in it fresh now, or you're 20 years in and you wanna pivot, whatever works for you. Okay? Think about this. Think about your intuition. This is part 2. We had exhaustion and your why on part 1. Part 2 is about your intuition, and we'll talk about part 3 next week. Okay? I hope you have a beautiful week ahead. Thanks for dealing with all the lighting stuff.

Speaker A [00:05:37]:
