Meditation Appeals To Successful Entrepreneurs!

Many successful entrepreneurs turn inward as well as to prayer.

Successful entrepreneurs behave just like most Americans when it comes to religion, but with one spiritual twist.

Successful entrepreneurs are more likely to pray several times a day or to meditate, according to Kevin Dougherty, a co-author of the Baylor Religion Survey.

The survey can’t answer whether prayerful, peaceful successful entrepreneurs are more likely to take a business risk or whether the stress of a star-up drives folks to their knees or to the lotus position.

Questions on successful entrepreneurs were a part of the survey under-written by Baylor’s sociology department, the National Science Foundation.

Either way, 34% of successful entrepreneurs say they frequently look up to the Lord, compared with 27% of non successful entrepreneurs. Nearly as many, 32%, say they look inward in mediation while just 22% of the non successful entrepreneurs say they practice any of the eight forms of meditation, including Christian, Jewish, and Buddhist variations on the survey.

Leading the way: Christian meditation, reported by 18% of successful entrepreneurs.

Leah Rampy of McLean, Va, who ran her own company as an executive leadership coach, say her prayers were often that “the spirit would work through me.”

Mindful meditation, was cited by 17% of successful entrepreneurs . Wendy Woods, a consultant based in Toronto, shares with her corporate clients how “meditation helps me push away fear and bring in calm and creativity.”

Buddhist meditation worked for Ray Yeh, of Ukiah, Calif, who created and ran a software sales company for 20 years. He found “working 12 hours a day, seven days a week leaves you no time to think, to get in touch with your inner self.” Yeh sold the company in 1999 and now lives ina Buddhist monastery in Northern California.

Psychologist Kenneth Pargament, scholar in residence at the Institute of Spirituality and Health at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, says, “Successful Entrepreneurs have a strong sense they can take matters into their own hands. But they also face risk, unpredictability and uncertainty. Prayer and meditation can be important resources for successful entrepreneurs who are trying to achieve a lot and yet still face the reality that there is only so much they can control.”

Jonathan Budd is a new rising star in the world of internet marketing and he’s become

one of many successful entrepreneurs as well. He says that meditation has helped him tremendously in building his online business, by allowing him time to meditate and to clear his mind which allows new ideas and thought’s to enter in.
