OUR WORLD ARTICLE Aligning Your Business with Your Personal Beliefs by Emmanuel Dagher Part of staying in alignment—keeping your outer life in balance with your true values—is remaining honest with yourself and others. A business that doesn’t operate from integrity often doesn’t succeed. Being transparent, open, and honest will be a reflection of your true self and will encourage others to invest in you and your desires. For example, I’ve noticed that many members of the wellness community don’t like having a social media platform. Some of my colleagues in the wellness and holistic health field don’t feel that social media can be an extension of their personal self. They only utilize social media, if at all, as an outlet for business purposes. What they’re missing is that social media can also be used to create communities. When I first began to develop my social media platform, I was advised by several people not to put too much of my energy into it, because it would take away from my practice elsewhere. I thanked them for their input, but I had a good feeling about social media, so I decided to give it a try anyway. It has worked out amazingly well for me. Without my social media connections, I wouldn’t have succeeded nearly as quickly. 26 | NEW CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW
