79. Raj Jana: Becoming an Energy Billionaire
This episode explores how to view your work, business, and creative projects through the lens of energy rather than conventional metrics. As I've grown in my spiritual journey, I've started to see everything as energy flows – when something isn't working between team members, I see stuck energy; when sales aren't flowing, there's likely a kink in the chain. In this conversation with Alex, we dive into how companies have souls born from the seed of an idea, how your consciousness gets embedded into every aspect of the business, and why aligning with "what wants to happen" rather than "what I want" can lead to quantum leaps in success.What You'll Learn:How to connect with the soul of your company or creative projectWhy your level of consciousness directly affects the flow of energy in your businessThe profound difference between "what I want" versus "what wants to happen"How to identify where energy is stuck in your organization and how to release itThe concept of "return on energy" as a more meaningful measure than return on investmentHow to become an "energy billionaire" rather than just pursuing financial successPractical ways to access intuitive leadership for better decision-makingHow creating safety is the fundamental role of conscious leadershipIf you're experiencing friction in your work, team dynamics, or sensing that your business isn't flowing as effortlessly as it could, this episode offers a completely different perspective on your challenges. I'm not sharing concepts from business books (there aren't any on this topic!) – this is what's actually working for me. When you realize you're not the owner of your creations but rather a conduit for what wants to flow through you, everything changes. You'll make decisions from greater alignment, attract unexpected opportunities, and experience the kind of expansion that happens when you get out of your own way.Connect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_jana Hosted on Acast.
