Is Your Business Bursting to Get Out of the Box?

Get your business out of the box!

Innovative Businesses Blaze New Trails

It’s no secret that increasingly clients and customers are seeking something different. Something that’s truly fresh, innovative and out of the box.

An innovative business doesn’t always function from industry standard, or only rely on what’s perceived as tried and true methods. A truly innovative and conscious business owner is always seeking that which will create greater possibilities; they’re never satisfied with the status quo.

However, the willingness to take a different perspective, and to ask dynamic questions of yourself and your business, can be uncomfortable. It is easy to do what others expect of you because then you wouldn’t need to change anything. You’re safe in the box. But here’s the question I like to ask: is being safe what you truly desire or is it time to get out of the box that you’ve created?

How do you know if you’re in the box?

A lot of people don’t realize they’re in a box!

Experiments Show Learned Behavior

There was an experiment some time ago where researchers placed jumping fleas inside a glass box to observe their behavior. Although they could leap higher, the fleas learned to jump only as high as the glass lid. Even after the lid was taken off, the fleas didn’t jump out.

Have you decided there’s a lid on what you can choose for your business? Every single judgement that you have about your business, your clients and customers, your products and services creates a box instantaneously.

So, what choices could you make today, which might make you a little uncomfortable, but will increase what you’re willing to receive?

Receiving is key. Many people consider that giving is good and receiving is wrong. I did too. Years ago, the founder of Access Consciousness® Gary Douglas told me, “If you’re willing to receive everything, you can have everything.”

How much judgement are you willing to receive from others? How much criticism are you willing to receive for standing out? I’ve discovered that the more open you’re to receiving, the more money you make and you get to have more fun.

What Are Some of the Ways to Get Out of the Box?

One of the ways you can get out of the box is gratitude. Have gratitude for what you’ve created currently, because when you have gratitude you start to receive more. What if you were grateful for everything you have created, big and small? This is not about judging you. It’s about increasing your awareness.
