As a business owner, your choices affect the health and success of your business. Choosing to spend brief periods in daily meditation will deploy tremendous leverage to support you as you navigate the inevitable challenges. When practiced regularly over time, you develop resilience, make better choices, and strengthen positive habits while negative habits attenuate. (My personal experience running a business for seven years with the support of my meditation practice convinced me of its efficacy.)

- Portable: In the amount of time you easily spend on social media without the benefits, a quick twenty minutes spent in meditation refreshes, renews and helps you access deeper creativity. Practice anywhere you can safely close your eyes.
- Effective: In business and life, you constantly solve problems. To do this well, you need creativity, conviction and fortitude. When you align yourself deeply, these qualities and others emerge often surprising you.
- Life Affirming: Your best is often buried beneath layers of worry, shame, and fear. Deeply cherished qualities like compassion, humor, and wisdom are all found in abundance deep inside each one of us. As a consequence of meditation, those qualities will support you as you manage and guide your business.
A beautiful analogy applies to meditation and business. In archery, the archer first draws the arrow back, away from the target. The farther back the arrow is drawn, the more powerfully the arrow can surge forward to hit the target. This same principle works in meditation, you draw your attention deep inside in the opposite direction, away from the external world. You turn to and steep in the pulsating energy of your deep self. When you emerge, you bring traces of that creativity, power and clarity to engage more effectively in your business.
