"The universe abhors a vacuum."
I recently watched The School of Greatness episode where Lewis Howes interviewed Rhonda Byrne, creator of The Secret- and it struck a chord with me, especially in the context of my entrepreneurial and founder journey. Usually I operate from a place of "more." Pushing for more time, more ideas, more revenue, more execution, more this, more that. But THIS idea suggests that by creating s p a c e, we invite the universe to fill it with what we desire.
Think about it – if you're longing for a new wardrobe, you start by clearing out the old. Dreaming of welcoming a new life? You prepare a space for it, like building a crib. The more I thought about it, the more I realized this principle can beautifully apply to our business ventures, too.
For us entrepreneurs and founders, our 'space' could be our mindsets, our teams, or our product lines. Sometimes, making room for innovation means letting go of outdated practices, decluttering our product offerings, or even reshaping our teams to welcome fresh talent and ideas.
By consciously creating a void, we signal our readiness to embrace new opportunities, partnerships, or strategies that propel us forward. I’m still unpacking this and what that would look like for me, but I'm curious, what space would you consider clearing in your professional life or within your ventures? What new beginnings could you make room for?
