Is Your Soul Calling You to Start a Business?

How to Know if Your Soul is Screaming ‘Start Your Business!’ (Before Your Brain Gets in the Way)

Stop overthinking and start tuning in — your next chapter is whispering, and it’s time to listen.

Ever catch yourself daydreaming about freedom, creativity, and finally being in charge of your own life… then immediately shove the thought aside because “it’s too risky”? Yep. That’s your soul knocking. And the tricky part? It’s rarely loud or obvious. Sometimes it’s a quiet pull, a flicker of excitement, or a deep knowing that something’s missing. Here’s how to decode those nudges before your inner critic convinces you to stay “safe.”

1. Notice the pull, not the noise

Your soul speaks softly. Pay attention to what makes you light up, curious, or restless. Journal every spark, even if it seems “silly” or impractical.

2. Identify your recurring daydreams

What do you imagine doing if money, time, and other people’s opinions weren’t an issue? Those visions are breadcrumbs to your next act.

3. Track your energy highs and lows

When you feel alive, what are you doing? When you feel drained, what’s the task or environment? This map points straight to what aligns with your soul.

4. Test small, fail forward

Experiment with tiny projects or creative pursuits. Your soul will respond — excitement, ease, flow — and fear will shrink when you see you can handle more than you thought.

5. Trust the internal compass

Stop asking everyone else for permission. If your heart is buzzing with possibility, it’s your soul saying, “Yes, queen. You were born for this.”

Your soul isn’t sending smoke signals; it’s whispering for a reason. Start small, listen carefully, and let your curiosity guide you. If you’ve been waiting for a sign… consider this it.

Checklist (if you’re unsure)

Here is a quick checklist to get you started. Remember imperfect action beats inaction, get started and keep going.

• Noticing sparks of joy or curiosity

• Daydreams that won’t quit

• Energy highs pointing to passion

• Excitement > fear when experimenting
