12 Reasons Why Empath Entrepreneurs Are Successful

What makes successful empath entrepreneurs? As an empath you walk into a room and instinctively pick up on the energy. A person sits down next to you and you know, without them uttering a sound, that they’re in a bad mood. People from all walks of life share their woes with you. Animals gravitate towards you. You relish time on your own, especially when in a natural environment outdoors. You are sensitive to people’s energies and emotions and sometimes become overwhelmed by the sheer weight of this experience.

Yet you have a passion for business and the entrepreneurial environment. Surely, with your sensitivities, you’ll never survive in the world of business …. or will you? In actual fact, empaths make small work of a professional environment. Combined with a powerful set of intuitive skills, empath entrepreneurs are a valuable asset in the entrepreneurial world.

Read the list below to discover the 12 reasons why empath entrepreneurs are such a valuable asset in the workplace.

Empaths connect instinctively

Even if you work as a solopreneur, as an empath your natural ability to connect with others will work to your advantage. None of us exists within a bubble, no matter how hard we try! So whether your professional environment is part of a group, leading a group or working on your own, your empath’s skills are a fundamental asset to achieving success. As an empath entrepreneur you have the advantage of sensing other people’s emotions and energies. Moreover you will find it easier to tune in to another’s energy on that person’s level, taking their specific vibration into consideration. This kind of connection promotes positivity and wellbeing within the team. Furthermore, team members look out for each other, because they feel understood and heard.

Your ability to connect is integral to building a trustworthy, respectful environment which only improves your chances of succeeding. Uniquely, empaths don’t allow racial, sexual, religious or social barriers to stand in their way. They have an ability to communicate with people from all backgrounds equally and compassionately.

Empath entrepreneurs relate with their customers

In a similar vein to the ability to connect with your team and other business associates, if you sell a product or service, empath entrepreneurs possess an instinctive talent at communicating with customers on their level. The ability to communicate helps to break down barriers and build rapport. An empath entrepreneur gets under the skin of the customer and senses what it is they really want, possibly even before the customer knows it.

Empath entrepreneurs truly listen

One of the valuable assets of empath entrepreneurs is the ability to hear the unspoken word. This means you relate to people in your working environment on a much deeper level than a non-empath. Sensing the unsaid problems opens up channels of communication so that issues are dealt with in a timely manner and aren’t left to fester. In essence, as a team leader you will have a group of happy team members who feel heard, appreciated and understood. As a team member you will inspire others to blend with the team ethos, helping to break down invisible barriers, encouraging a sense of cohesive ambition. A happy working environment will lead to improved motivation, greater transparency, a healthy work-culture and ultimately greater success.

Your intuition helps to steer you to success

As an empath entrepreneur you may not be the most logical and analytical thinker. Oftentimes you will be hard-pushed to qualify your reasons for pursuing a certain goal, yet you know it’s the right thing to do. Empath entrepreneurs sense it in their gut. Somehow they feel the magnetic lure towards the goal. What’s more, they may not understand why until they achieve success, having listened to their inner voice guiding them all the way.

Beware the liar!

A key skill of empath entrepreneurs is the ability to spot a liar. Can you imagine what a strength it is when you “know” that a potential employee at interview is lying to you, or the CEO is taking you for a fool, or a colleague is trying to get one over on you?

I remember a phone call I overheard with a friend of mine and he was clearly being lied to. And it was one big lie involving legal proceedings, redundancies and far-reaching accusations. I don’t know what made me do it, but I scribbled on a piece of paper to tell him that the person he was talking to was lying to him. It was so clear in the tone of voice, the words the caller was using, his overly-effusive behaviour on the phone. And it turned out to be true. The man on the phone was lying and if my friend had believed his lies, he could have made a rash decision that would have resulted in the termination of his highly-paid job. So if you get a sense that someone is pulling the wool over your eyes, listen to that inner voice. Chances are it’s right.

Empath entrepreneurs accept responsibility

Integrity, honesty and transparency are key attributes of the empath. Empath entrepreneurs are driven by a strong sense of right and wrong. Accordingly, they have no patience for someone they think is dishonest or corrupt and will avoid that kind of person. Empaths tend to be dreamers as well as doers. This rare combination of vision and practicality often results in empath entrepreneurs taking on disproportionate responsibility in the various causes they are drawn to.

Likewise, they have strong value systems and need to live their lives in accordance with what they feel is right. What’s more, empaths tend to avoid conflict and as good communicators, will discuss issues in a caring, yet probably forthright manner, before the problem develops. They hold themselves accountable and expect the same of others. Such accountability creates a workplace of clarity and support. If you work honestly and to the best of your ability, you will form a vital cog in the empath entrepreneur’s engine.

Empath entrepreneurs need variety

Empath entrepreneurs are creative. Specifically, they have a low boredom threshold which entices them to try out new things while their non-empath counterparts are taking refuge in their comfort zones. Our comfort zone is our worst ally as we don’t grow when we don’t challenge ourselves. Consequently, an empath entrepreneur is likely to take risks ordinary folk would baulk at. Largely because they get an instinctive sense that the risk will work out successfully. In the same vein, empaths also tend to be positive individuals and will search for a solution to a problem when necessary. As a result, they won’t focus on what might go wrong, rather they will focus on what could go right. And what we focus on tends to be what we reap.

Empath entrepreneurs are natural problem solvers

A motto of the empath entrepreneur is “Where there is a will, there is a way.” They are excellent problem-solvers and enjoy the challenge of seeking out the solution to a problem. Furthermore, the lure of the challenge is greater than the fear of not knowing how to move forward. Consequently, empath entrepreneurs tend not to stagnate in business. They thrive when their intuition is needed as they know this is where their key strengths lie. They may not be able to express the solution in words, but will prove to any sceptics with the results they achieve just by following their hunches.

An empath entrepreneur wants you to succeed

How many people do you know, who if you told them you’d achieved something important, would be truly happy for you with no trace of resentment? Care for others is a key trait of an empath in all walks of life, including business. Where many people feel threatened when they see someone thriving in an area of life, empath entrepreneurs will embrace your talents and encourage you to spread your wings beyond horizons you never thought capable of reaching.

Accordingly, empath entrepreneurs benefit vicariously from their colleagues’ successes. You can be sure that an empath entrepreneur will support your learning and development within the workplace. And a well-trained colleague benefits the entire workforce. Empath entrepreneurs innately understand that everyone forms part of universal energy. By encouraging positivity, courage and freedom of expression, universal energy is buoyed exponentially.

“…if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes; every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes; with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will be the same again.” William P. Young, The Shack

Empath entrepreneurs are quirky

One of the aspects of an empath entrepreneur I love the most is that they are quirky. They have a tendency to be totally unconventional. They’re not bound by the mainstream approach. Uniquely, their actions are fuelled by intuition, creativity, apparent randomness, and yet they succeed. Empath entrepreneurs break the mould of the “one fits all” approach. They may appear gung-ho and fly by the seat of their pants, but they know instinctively why they’re doing what they’re doing.

What’s more, what others think about them doesn’t perturb them. They have such deeply rooted values and such intuitive business confidence that they can leave doubters by the wayside. And ultimately those doubters will no doubt roux the day they questioned the dream of the empath entrepreneur. It may not always be easy to see the end vision, but have faith. Working with or for an empath entrepreneur can help widen your horizons beyond your wildest beliefs.

Empath entrepreneurs are free-spirits

Empaths have a need for freedom. They are free-spirits and won’t be confined to politically-correct boxes. This means they have the courage to stand up and support the underdog. They can see when office politics allow the progression of some, but stifle the growth of others who may not fit the “mould”. Because empath entrepreneurs have a high value of honesty and integrity, they will voice their opinions which helps to establish equilibrium among the workforce. Having an empath entrepreneur in your team will ensure they listen to you and give you every chance for progress, education and promotion.

Empath entrepreneurs and reciprocal positivity

Empath entrepreneurs manifest success, because they understand the importance of putting out positive energy, as they know it will be reciprocated. And empath entrepreneurs are generous givers of positivity, to their own cost sometimes. Fatigue may become a problem for them. This is due to them having an innate need to help others, which sometimes leaves them feeling depleted. However, empath entrepreneurs, regardless of whether they work alone or within a group, feel connected to spirit. Specifically, this connection helps to reaffirm their reasons for maintaining their path to their greater destiny.
