How Meditation can Help you Achieve your Goals as an Entrepreneur

Practiced and Recommended by some of the Most Successful Entrepreneurs ...

Steve Jobs , co-founded of Apple Computers

"If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it."

Oprah WinfreyAmerican media proprietor, talk show host


"Meditate. Breathe consciously. Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment. Make the connection."

"It's such a great investement, i would say that more than any other factor, having any effect on my success, it's been meditation! (..) it opens the to sides of the brain, and allows a spontaneity, a creativity and a open mindedness, so it's good for not only the health, because stress it's a terrible thing but it's also very good in terms of clarity, and you don't get the emotional highjacking "

... meditation seems to be a powerful tool in business as well as in life! 

So even if you never tried it, you must have at least thought on why is it that this practice is so popular these days. Here are some of the benefits and how they can help you achieve your goals.

Research shows that people who meditate 


Become 10 times more focused 

Your focus, will determin how fast you go from where you are, to where you want to be in life, in terms of goals. Meditation optimizes the flow of sensory information in your brain. With less stimuli and minimized arousal, your brain will be naturally much more efficient, armed with only the highest and best available information, while ignoring the information responsible for lapses in attention and other undesirable disorders.

Find it easier to maintain a positive mindset

Your mindset will reflect on the outcome of whatever it is that you are trying to achieve. Meditation is proven to reduce your chances of suffering from depression by 75%.

Have 30% Less Anxiety

Anxiety affects your daily life so much that it may interfere with your appetite, relationships, sleep, and job performance. People who suffer from this often seek relief in harmful lifestyle habits such as overeating, smoking or using alcohol and drugs.
Meditation will help you improve your emotional stability and it will give you more clarity and peace of mind.

Increased Energy Levels

Endorphins, are the main reason why long distance runners are addicted to their sport. These chemicals provide a powerful energy boost and a kind of mental euphoria, the also called "runner’s high". Blood measurements on 12 highly trained meditators showed greatly boosted endorphins. Impressively the highs of meditation cannot be duplicated, not even with running.

Deeper Level of Insight, Intelligence & Creativity

Intelligence and creativity are key in problem solving - the entrepreneur's main job.
According to eocinstitute.org, meditation just might be the key to unlocking your untapped, limitless potential. While it is possible you may not end up a genius, you just might! Meditation works to balance both hemispheres of the brain, forcing them to work in harmony. By integrating both hemispheres of your brain and allowing them to work in sync, you will experience an increase in overall mental health, enhancing cognitive performance, better memory and intellectual functioning.

These are just a very small fraction of the health benefits that meditation can give you. Other popular benefits are better immune system, slow aging, faster healing, weight loss and much more.


How to start:



The best way to start is to take 10 minutes in the morning right after you wake up, or at the end of the day, to just sit in peace and pay attention to your breathing. Be present to yourself.
I do recommend that you start with a guided meditation, a 30 day meditation program, preferable in audio, that takes you step by step on how to silence your mind, and then you can take it from there.

Here are some meditation guides you can use to help you on this new journey.
