Being A Lightworker and Doing Business, Is it possible ?

[richie]

Hi, I just had a question that is it possible for a business person to be a lightworker.Lightworkers are those who want everyone around them to have the best life possible,isn't it?I was A darkworker but tried to transceed in Being a lightworker.
I am a student and currently doing I.T. Engineering Degree and have a business which is increasing at a good pace,As i was not able to Complete the Workload along with my studies so I hired one of my friend for the work.and always motivated him to think beyond and think big and obviously just in 4 months he became so much motivated by how i behave and talk that he started his own sort of small business,though nothin compared to where i am,actually I even helped him to set all up.( o this light worker thing)But I though being a lightworker has now brought me in a position that i feel he might compete with me because he knows some of my future plans.i know i was foolish but i wanted to be a lightworker that time and not a dark one which i was,but now i feel to do business you have to be a dark worker, What u all say ?And though he considers me his guru,i dont think i should guide him anymore because if I do, it will create problem for me Objectively.

Why not join the businesses together?

Not meaning actually merging but helping each other out whenever you can.

Look on the bright side of thing: Even if he becomes your direct competitor, you will be driven a lot more and in the end, you will have more skills, experience, better products/services and more money.

You can still be friends, but it's best to make sure that he's not your direct competitor, it is more tricky then.

I have a wide experience and he has none ,so most of the time i would be only giving,and in any business its your unique ideas and knowledge that sets you apart from your competitors and help you grow your business,the question is not much about the sole guy because if i start keeping a darkworker mindset i think i can tackle it easily, but the main thing is this is just a start for me i have another part-time employee now and soon i would hiring one more and i feel that i wont like to make them see their own good by starting a business or they wont work with me and history would repeat itself.The main thing is,Is it possible to be a light workers while doing business ? How could i justify keeping an employee to myself if i decide to remain a lightworker,i know its more of a mindset thing but i want to be on one side deeply rather than being between

So your essentially saying a few things;
- I believe that every business owner is a darkworker, but please convince me I'm wrong.
- I believe that two businesses need to compete with each other
- I believe that the other guy is incapable of coming up with unique idea's and will not share them with me.

Hold on a second, I just realized something. I have a completely different belief system than you (oh no shock) because I work in a different business than you. Now I don't want to turn this into a sales pitch or anything but the great thing about network marketing is that by helping other people you are growing your own business at the same time without the risk of them leaving. In fact it would be the shizzle if they surpassed me, I mean wow GREAT now I get more profit and they get more profit and they are happy and I'm happy.

You see I don't know if its possible in regular business, I honestly went into this thread with the idea to show you that its possible. But I can't seem to wrap my mind around having to do hostile competition all the time, doesn't seem natural to me. Now I realize that regular business is probably a very strong me vs them feeling. So thank you for showing me that I'm at the right spot at the right business at the right time...

Anyway to try and solve your problem, perhaps talk to the person in question and tell them your problem. Just be open to them, see what they think about it. Tell them your fear and suggest that perhaps you should coach him in life and be his friend but keep the businesses out of it. Is that an idea?

even in regular business .. it is not necessary to be very strong "us vs them" mindset we can share knowledge there is enough in the world for everyone and if someone else is getting more that does not necessary include that you will get less ...

yet this does not mean to open up about your strategies ... tactics ... future plans ... specific marketing ideas.

if your friend asked you for help be for him ... doing good will always pay back

what do you think ?

I'd say that sounds like a great mindset, instead of scarcity there's abundance. I like it !

I'd say give that a go and keep us updated, I'd love to hear if you'll make any progress.

Some kind of Business may not be ok for a lightworker.

Lightworkers absolutely can be businesspeople. Steve comes to mind. Probably none of you have met Gary Johnson, but he's also an incredibly wealthy lightworker businessperson. And I'm working on it.

But you can only be a lightworker businessperson if you're a lightworker. If you're only trying to give stuff away to prove you're a lightworker, then you're going to end up emptied and broken. If you're secretly harboring a belief that the world is limited and you have to compete with everyone for resources, you're just going to sabotage yourself. So you have to decide first what you want to do.

might compete with me because he knows some of my future plans.i know i was foolish but i wanted to be a lightworker that time and not a dark one

I don't think you were foolish. I think you were kind and generous to give another assistance. To give others not only wealth, but the ability to create their own wealth, is the very essence of lightworking.

which i was,but now i feel to do business you have to be a dark worker, What u all say ?And though he considers me his guru,i dont think i should guide him anymore because if I do, it will create problem for me Objectively.

Some of this depends on your friend. If he is a darkworker and unwilling to work with you, then you may have to bid it farewell. I still wouldn't consider you foolish - one thing lightworkers have to understand is that you can't be robbed of what you freely give away. If he chooses to take your ideas and plans and build them to reality, then grant him that gift with your blessing, and know that you will be repaid for it.

But I see plenty of opportunities for you both to win, here. Merge the businesses. Buy him out. Stop hiring him as an employee and contract all of that type of work to his new business. Refer business to each other (odds are good that there's some kind of work that you hate and he loves. So let him do it!). Form a cooperative. There's no reason that you have to lose in order for him to win, or vice-versa.

But it all comes down to what you want to do. Personally, I enjoy the company of lightworker businesspeople much more. You can talk freely with them, and they'll help you make your idea work instead of pointing out why it won't. They'd rather have the business that comes from making your business work than the small amount of revenue they could get from stealing your idea.

But that's a personal preference. Some people, especially those polarized to the dark side, would go nuts at all the wishy-washy, lovey-dove cooperation stuff. What gets them going is a good, old-fashioned race. That's perfectly good, too.

The question is, who do you want to be?

Your business will run fine either way.

Giving Is how we receive - Nothing given away is ever lost, as the very nature of the act is sharing, we only give to ourselves.

There is no lack, competition for business & money is an illusion of the ego mind - there is more than enough to go around.

I think the crux of the problem isn't lightworker/darkworker, it is your beliefs regarding lack/abundance and giving/receiving.
