WOMEN IN BUSINESS

How Women Can Learn to Use Graceful Flow for Success in Life

Many business women make the mistake of thinking that they have to abandon their feminine

side and embrace all things masculine in order to get ahead in business. The truth is that no
matter what job or industry you are working in, you will never be truly successful and happy in

your career if you are pretending to be something that you're not. You might think the role of
hard-headed businessman is the only way to succeed in top companies, but most businesses have

more than enough of this type. Their masculine energy rides roughshod over anyone who doesn’t
meet their exacting, and often unrealistically high standards. It also silences any disagreement or

any creative thinking that might come into conflict with their vision of how things "should" be

done. Feminine energy is a lot less action oriented. It is softer, more creative and flexible.
Feminine energy goes with the flow. It doesn’t try to redirect the river.

The Idea of Graceful Flow

The idea of flow is that everything should come to us naturally, without us chasing all over the
place after things we think will make us happier, more successful, more… whatever. Flow is

about accepting what is good in life without wanting more or pushing it away because we think
we don’t deserve it. It is also about attracting the good things in life through correct action. If we

work hard on a project, for example, good results will follow. Flow is also about a vision of how
things can be better, but organically. If you want to grow a wonderful rose, you can’t keep

tugging at it to make it grow faster. The result would just cause it to wither and die on the vine.

The Secret of the Secret

The very popular book The Secret resonated with a lot of people who wanted to learn more about

abundance and flow. It is also commonly termed the law of attraction. Instead of exhausting
yourself chasing after all the things you want, you can take actions that will make those good

things come to you. The result is a lot less stress and a great deal more success and satisfaction.
A lot of business people get so caught up in the idea of more - more customers, money, and

profits - that they fail to appreciate what they actually have. They get so stressed that their health

starts to fail. They also say or do unskillful things which result in poor relationships in the
workplace, and unhappy clients who go to businesses who will treat them better.
