Attention and The Nurtured Entrepreneur
Dear Nurtured Entrepreneur,
Today. Opportunities to do things differently than you’ve done them before so you can achieve different (better) results. For example, observing and changing how you talk to yourself about your creative entrepreneurship and your business of work with passion.
‘Where the attention goes, energy flows.’
– Schlosser
As the quotation above implies, we visionary entrepreneurs are our own self-fulfilling prophecy machines. What we give our attention to in our daily round increases, whether we are giving our attention to something we want or something we don’t want as part of our personal work mission. By virtue of the attention itself, we attract or call to us more of the same.
Experiment by selecting something that you know you habitually say or think about yourself as a small business entrepreneur and re-wire it through words, thoughts, and speech so that your body, mind, and heart can support you in creating something wonderful and new. Here are some examples:
- I focus on not feeling fulfilled, and I am fraught with doubts.
- I focus on noticing each and every satisfying moment, and the fulfilling blessings flow.
- I focus on how I never seem to have enough time, and I am always scrambling for time.
- I focus on having enough time to accomplish everything that’s important to me, and indeed, I do.
- I focus on how difficult my clients are, and difficult clients keep showing up.
- I focus on how kind and brilliant my clients are, and kind and brilliant clients start coming my way.
If you’ve never really given this concept your good attention, you have no idea how well it can work. The tricky part can be discovering what it is you really say and think, not what you think you say and think (re-read). Ask your Inner Guidance for support in discerning the truth about the statements that supply your self-fulfilling, potentially self-nurturing prophecy machine.
Until next time …

Jana, that’s so true about the “tricky part”! We often describe ourselves as optimistic and positive-thinking only to discover we’re not – when we begin to pay attention. What I love best about your post are the practical yet gentle suggestions you give for clearing out the thoughts that no longer serve us. Thank you!

Thank you, Andrea. It seems my best tips come from looking within! No surprise there.
