Before you begin your journey as a Spiritual Entrepreneur, you have one very important question to think about. Why?
Why are you going to stick with this Spiritual Business Idea when it seems overwhelming, or too much to learn?
Why are you going to get back up and try again when you fall down, when you fail?
Why are you doing this?
Because that question – why? – is the most important question for your spiritual business.
- Finding your ‘Why’ will keep you showing up when the going gets tough.
- Finding your ‘Why’ will mean you have a guiding star when you lose your way in the woods.
- Finding your ‘Why’ will lead you on the road to solid business success, for the long term.
Do You Have Multiple Answers to the Most Important Question in your Spiritual Business?
As you start to think on this, you’ll probably get a few things popping up.
When you find an answer you think might fit, it’s time to dig deeper.
You simply ask the most important question for your spiritual business all over again – why?
Here’s an example – Your first response is that you want to be rich. That’s ok like, don’t get into any guilt about that.
Just ask why?
- I want to be rich!… why?
- Because I want an easier life… why?
- Because I want financial freedom, not to have to worry about money any more… why?
- Because that would allow me to spend my time doing things that help others.
Now, you can keep going with these whys as long as you like.

My Answer to the Most Important Question
For me, this was simple. My Gods made me do it.
Way, way, back, when I was working as an Irish heritage tour guide at a sacred site, I received communication from an Irish goddess who instructed me to “Get real information out there”, and the rest is Irish Pagan School history.
With that as an overarching divine guidance, which became our mission statement of ‘Authentic Connection to Ireland’, I moved forward in faith.
So, it is definitely worth checking in with your personal Gods, Guides, or Guardians, and seeing if they want to have a say in any of this.
Since then though, I have followed a personal path with my business journey that has seen me descend to similar depths as Graziosi details in that video.
Coming out of a very insecure and abusive marriage, as a single stay-at-home parent with three children under 7 years old, I became determined long before our current business took form to find security and stability. For myself and for them.
That’s what keeps me going, no matter what.
Other Questions to Consider!
While it is the most important business question to consider, finding your why is not the ONLY question you should be asking yourself.
Small businesses often struggle with how to make money. They don’t know what problems their customers want solved, how they earn revenue, or where they’re spending too much time and energy. If you’re looking to grow your business, it helps to understand the basics of running a successful business.
Here are 10 critical questions for spiritual business owners to consider:
- 1. What problem does your business solve?
- 2. How do you generate profit?
- 3. Where is your business losing money?
- 4. Are you generating enough revenue to cover expenses?
- 5. Do you have a good pricing strategy?
- 6. Why did you start your business?
- 7. How many employees do you have?
- 8. Who is your target customer?
- 9. How do you keep your customers happy?
- 10. Is there anything else you’d like people to know about your business?
Ultimately though, your spiritual-based business strategy MUST start with finding your own essential heartfelt WHY. Everything else can flow from there.
