A Meditation Workshop for the Members of Entrepreneurs’ Organization Melbourne
It was a great pleasure for our meditation coach, Michael Teh to be invited to Entrepreneurs’ Organization Melbourne’s Premier Forum to present Knowledge of the Self and perform a guided meditation to a group of esteemed entrepreneurs, followed by a sumptuous dinner.
We are grateful that the participants walked out of the session with newfound realizations and a deeper understanding of themselves, leading to clarity of mind in attaining success in all aspects of life.
Read on to learn why mindfulness is such a powerful business strategy for entrepreneurs.

“When you are mindful, you are not distracted by fears from the past or concerns for the future. You are simply focused on the present moment, with no other distractions.”
Are you a business owner yourself? Even if you are currently employed, you should understand why mindfulness practice is such an effective business strategy to employ in your professional life.
Mindfulness has become an integral part of mental health and well-being at companies such as Spotify, Google, Goldman Sachs, and others in recent years. Even Google provides its employees with mindfulness training called “Search Inside Yourself,” which is based on the proven benefits of meditation.

Most entrepreneurs understand the significance of displaying confidence, leadership, and patience in their roles. They understand the components of sound decision-making and are time management experts.
However, there is a lesser-known tool that entrepreneurs can use to improve their performance in nearly every important area: mindfulness meditation.
So, what is the significance of mindfulness?
Understanding why the brain thinks and reacts in certain ways in different situations can help entrepreneurs better manage stressful situations in their businesses.
A state of consciousness defined by awareness of the present moment is referred to as mindfulness. When you are mindful, you are not distracted by fears from the past or concerns for the future. You are simply focused on the present moment, with no other distractions.
Here are some ways mindfulness can help your business grow.
- It can boost your confidence and aid in decision-making. Every day, business owners must make critical decisions. The more these decisions there are, the more difficult it can be to make a choice. Mindfulness and meditation work to quiet the little voice in your head so that you can make a decision.
- It can assist you in being more creative. When you’re in the middle of your day-to-day business, nothing beats a brilliant new marketing idea. However, creativity appears to be in short supply and appears in spurts. Incorporate mindfulness before a brainstorming session to increase the number of opportunities for creative brainstorming.
- It has the potential to boost productivity. When people are less affected by mental and physical stress, they are more productive. Mindfulness addresses the source of stressors and directs brain waves so that focus and attention are entirely focused on the task at hand.
Other potential benefits of mindfulness include reduced stress and increased empathy, which can help entrepreneurs take on leadership roles in their businesses.
To summarize, spending a few minutes centering your mind and letting go of distracting thoughts can have numerous advantages. If you stick with it, you’ll be able to meditate for longer periods of time and reap even more benefits.
Remember that everything begins with a single practice session. If every business owner committed to practicing mindfulness meditation, there would be far more patience, confident decision-making, and team building from the top down!
