I have been pondering the phrase “heart centered entrepreneur” lately. It strikes me as odd. ok, wait, here me out! First of all, I don’t know many entrepreneurs that aren’t heart centered. It takes heart to do it alone. It takes heart to build it. It takes heart to want to be successful. It takes heart to keep going when everyone around you says you should get a “day job”.
For me, being an entrepreneur is heart centered.
Second, I have noticed that many of the people calling themselves this, or saying they work with “heart centered entrepreneurs” use fear as their marketing tactic. Fear to get you to buy. Fear to get you to sign up. Fear to get you to optin.
Ponder this. Do we need to use fear if we are heart centered?

Scripture says that fear casts love out. So true!
Not every Entrepreneur is heart-centered .They tend to be in holistic practices, health, do gooders, work from People, Community and profits…
Is that a legal definition? I don’t to that, but I lead my business with heart, therefore I am a heart centered entrepreneur.
great article ~ Agree but there are many that say they do one thing and poof nothing…So I don’t know about other’s but, I do teach authentic selling for the heart-centered entrepreneur ~ not a title or phrase/pitch (which I still have a hard time with elevator pitches) lol I started with; but my business name is so “in your face” lol I found what I did “sounded” great but scared the shit out of women ~ oh wait Nicole you want me to 1. look at my numbers and 2. ask for the sale?? lol so it was a client’s testimonial who said that she liked my approach that I come from a real and authentic place and she was able to look at her numbers and ask for the sale with confidence. So when I use it or my definition is that we all could get back into the heart and out of our heads and for me my hope is that it reminds us to go within a bit more ~ not as a fear but just a reminder from the heart amazing connects are made (inner and outer) ~ lord (and you) lol knows its been an interesting couple of years I needed to do this myself <3 wonderful article!! 🙂
