Entrepreneur Habits: 10 Habits of Women Who Lead Purpose-Driven Businesses
Mar 02, 2022Stop wasting time, energy, and precious brain power on things that aren’t making you money. There are so many gimmicks marketed toward female business owners—and I know you don’t need another cheap trick or quick fix. Instead, I’m sharing the essentials with you. In this post you’ll learn my top 10 entrepreneur habits to help you succeed in your business.
These are the routines and practices of successful women who have come before you and battled through the same struggles you are dealing with now. They have done the hard work and found the habits that will benefit you and your small business.
Entrepreneur Habit #1: Connect to Your Big Vision
The number one habit that successful people have is a strong connection to their work. They are deeply committed to their big vision—they know the who, what, why, and how of their business and can rattle it off to anyone who asks. They believe in their power and are confident they can help others.
To harness this successful habit, you need to identify what is truly important to you. Your big vision should be your singular focus as a business woman.
Success Routine #2: Let Go of Perfection
One of the biggest entrepreneurial mistakes that women make is getting stuck in perfectionism. No, perfectionism is not a true strength so you can stop thinking that. It holds you back from your potential. Don’t do it, Sister. Let go and let flow!
Think of it this way—you are constantly growing as a professional, absorbing new information, developing new ideas and learning from yourself and others. If you stay on step one trying to make it perfect, you are depriving yourself of step 2.

Entrepreneur Habit #3: Trust Yourself Implicitly
Successful women trust themselves completely. When you trust in yourself, you can move with ease to the next level of your earnings and business.
You’ll be amazed as increased opportunities to share your message and increase your income and influence continue to expand.
Success Routine #4: Take Risks
As human beings, taking risks is what we were born to do! As a baby grows and develops, they are learning to crawl, to speak, to stand, to walk—they are taking risks every day, multiple times a day, all without thinking twice.
This illustrates our inherent need and drive to risk.
Our ancestors before us truly risked it all to build our great nations. Everything we have and use is because someone was willing to risk something. The thing holding us back is fear—the fear of looking stupid, the fear of failure, and the fear of not fitting in.
You were born to take risks, Brave Sister.
Entrepreneur Habit #5: Don’t be Afraid to Fail
On the same token as taking risks, successful women are not afraid to fail. Failure is not personal. It is inevitable and when you are building a business, not every idea, product, or launch is going to succeed.
So, set your intentions as well as your expectations and accept failure as a part of the process. Then you won’t be afraid or surprised by it.
Success Routine #6: Decide to be Successful
Successful people choose to be successful. It doesn’t just happen to them. Decide to be successful with every cell in your body. Decide to create the success you envision for yourself.
Then, mindfully choose the highest impact actions to do that.
Entrepreneur Habit #7: Use Your Voice to Influence Change
Your voice is one of your superpowers. No one sounds like you, has the ideas that you do, nor the drive that you do! Use your voice to influence change. If you are confident in your message, even a whisper can be heard for miles.
Success Routine #8: Put Wellness at the Top of Your List
Successful women set intentions for themselves and make it a part of their daily routines. Intention sets the groundwork for a well-cared for Soul, and you know how I feel about caring for your Soul.
Do it and do it often.
To set an intention means to put yourself in a future situation or interaction and to allow your Soul to tell you what She wants. A great many surprising opportunities arise when you allow your Soul room to set Her intention.
So, it is essential to craft yours carefully, lovingly, and with your Soul top of mind—setting yourself up for success and out of harm’s way.
Once your intention has been set, it is now up to you to be open to receiving.

Entrepreneur Habit #9: Uplift Other Women
Uplifting other women is a secret power of successful women. It is genuine, inspirational and attracts positive attention. If someone speaks kindly to you or encourages you, it’s memorable. It’s even more significant when it comes from someone you admire or someone with authority in your industry.
This doesn’t just apply to the online space, but in person as well. Remember this when you are talking to people around town. You don’t know what someone else is going through and how much impact your kind words can have. Speak with candor and brighten someone’s day.
Success Routine #10: Establish Powerful Daily Rituals
Successful women have powerful daily rituals. For me, I love my morning routine. I love to get up before anyone else in my home and be a part of the magic of the morning time. I enjoy sitting quietly, drinking coffee, writing, or reading something inspirational. It sets the tone for my day ahead.
I share more on morning magic in my new Sacred Soul-Care Solutions, as well as tons of other Soul care solutions and wellness practices. It’s like gold for the Soul, and it is available as a FREE download for a limited time—until March 31st.

Have you ever felt a quiet whisper within, urging you to step into a fuller version of yourself? A gentle nudge that says, "There's more to you than meets the eye—let it out, let it roar." For years, I felt that whisper growing louder, evolving into a desire that I could no longer contain.
My journey with divine expression began as a delicate dance between fear and faith. I had stories to tell, lessons learned from the depths of my spirit, but the thought of sharing them with the world felt like standing on the edge of a vast abyss. What if my voice wasn't enough? What if my words fell on deaf ears?
One day, amidst this internal struggle, I found myself gazing at a sunset, the sky ablaze with hues of gold and crimson. It was as if the universe was painting a masterpiece, unapologetically showcasing its brilliance without hesitation. In that moment, I realized that nature never doubts its expression—why should I?
Fueled by this revelation, I poured my heart and soul into writing my book, "When Lions Roar." It wasn't just a title; it was a mantra, a declaration of stepping into my power. Each page became a testament to embracing authenticity, courage, and the divine voice that resides in all of us.
The journey wasn't easy. There were nights filled with self-doubt and days when the words seemed tangled and elusive. But with each paragraph, I felt layers of fear peeling away, replaced by a profound sense of liberation. Writing became my sanctuary, a sacred space where my spirit could dance freely.
When "When Lions Roar" was finally released, I was humbled and overjoyed to see it become a #1 best-seller and receive multiple awards. But beyond the accolades, the true gift was hearing from readers whose lives were touched by my words. Their stories of awakening, empowerment, and newfound courage reminded me of the incredible ripple effect our authentic expression can have.
This journey taught me that our voices are not meant to be silenced or suppressed. They are divine instruments designed to uplift, inspire, and connect us on the deepest levels. When we allow ourselves to speak our truth, we invite others to do the same, creating a symphony of souls roaring in unison.
Now, I feel a calling to extend this transformative experience to you. If you've ever felt that inner roar longing to be heard, a story aching to be shared, or a message that could light up someone's world, I want to walk alongside you on that path.
That's why I'm hosting an upcoming Power Circle dedicated to Divine Expression: Influential Writing for Spiritual Leaders. It's a sacred gathering where we'll delve into the art of influential spiritual writing, debunk common myths, and uncover the steps to crafting content that resonates deeply.
We'll explore how to:
Demystify influential spiritual writing and communicate truths that transform.
Discover the four essential steps to crafting impactful spiritual content.
Embrace authenticity and power in your expression, overcoming obstacles with confidence.
Imagine connecting with like-minded souls, engaging in enriching discussions, and participating in activities that ignite your creative spirit. This isn't just about writing—it's about stepping into your role as a spiritual leader, fully embracing the divine expression that is uniquely yours.
If this resonates with you, I'd be honored for you to join me.

In the world of entrepreneurship, especially as a spiritual entrepreneur, content has always been more than just words on a page. It’s a way to connect, to inspire, and to lead others on their own transformational journey. My path to creating innovative content strategies wasn’t a straight line, but a winding road of trial, discovery, and growth.
When I first started sharing my message, I believed that content meant following certain formulas or trends—until I realized that true innovation doesn’t come from doing what everyone else is doing. It comes from tapping into my authenticity, listening deeply to what my community needed, and infusing my work with my unique voice. The breakthrough happened when I shifted my focus from creating content just for the sake of visibility to crafting content that matters—content that sparks curiosity, stirs emotions, and fosters meaningful connections.
Innovative content isn’t about being flashy or following the latest buzz. It’s about speaking directly to the hearts of those we are meant to serve. And for me, that meant peeling back the layers and embracing vulnerability in my messaging, showing up as both a guide and a fellow traveler on this entrepreneurial journey.
This shift wasn’t only about business success (though I’ve seen incredible growth and engagement). It has fundamentally changed how I live my life. I no longer see creating content as a task but as a form of self-expression, a way to lead from my soul and honor the gifts I’ve been given to share with the world. Every post, video, and story is infused with intention and a deep desire to uplift others while remaining rooted in who I am.
Through this process, I’ve learned that success, both in life and in business, comes when we lean into our creativity and trust our inner guidance. This is the essence of my upcoming Power Circle, "Innovative Content Strategies: Unique Approaches to Shine Above the Rest." We’ll be exploring how to break free from the constraints of content creation myths and instead, cultivate content that aligns with our unique purpose and audience.
I invite you to join me for this transformative gathering where together, we’ll step into the forefront of creative marketing. Let’s embrace what makes us different, and through our content, shine above the rest—not just in the marketplace but in the way we live our lives.

There was a time when I doubted whether true miracles were possible. I had heard about the power of manifestation, of aligning with the universe to bring forth my deepest desires, but it felt distant, something reserved for those who knew the "secrets" or had mastered the spiritual arts. I felt successful, sure, but something was missing. I wanted to manifest not just success, but a life and business that truly reflected my soul's calling—a journey that would leave a lasting impact, both spiritually and materially.
It all began when I decided to fully embrace the concept of manifesting miracles. I remember thinking, "What if I just allow this to work?" That thought was the seed that changed everything. My approach shifted from doubt to curiosity, from skepticism to possibility. I dove deep into understanding what manifestation truly meant, not just in theory, but in practice. I learned that it's not about waiting passively for good things to happen; it's about becoming an active co-creator of my life. I began applying principles that aligned with my highest aspirations, and, step by step, I started seeing the results.
One of the most transformative moments for me was when I realized that manifesting isn’t just about thinking positively or visualizing outcomes. It's about releasing the myths and truly understanding the mechanics of how energy, intention, and action work together to bring forth what we desire. In my business, that meant more than just hitting income goals or launching successful programs—it meant creating offerings that were in total alignment with who I am at my core. It meant attracting clients who weren’t just looking for business strategies, but who were also seeking deep spiritual and personal transformation.
Manifesting miracles has taught me to trust in timing, in the ebb and flow of life. I’ve learned that manifestation isn't linear. There were moments of doubt, of frustration when things didn’t unfold as quickly as I wanted. But in those moments, I practiced resilience, knowing that sometimes the delay wasn’t a "no," but rather, a preparation for something far greater. The more I aligned my thoughts, actions, and intentions with my soul's purpose, the more effortlessly things seemed to fall into place. Opportunities appeared, relationships blossomed, and my business grew in ways I never thought possible.
Now, manifestation is a daily practice for me. It's not just a one-time event or something to turn to in times of need; it's a lifestyle. Every day, I set intentions. Every day, I take steps—both big and small—that move me closer to my vision. And every day, I cultivate a mindset that allows me to remain open to the miracles that are unfolding all around me.
The most powerful realization for me has been that manifesting miracles is about trusting that the universe is always working in my favor, even when it doesn’t look or feel like it. It’s about remaining unwavering in my vision, even when challenges arise. And it’s about showing up fully, knowing that the energy I bring into every moment has the power to shift my reality.
I am living proof that miracles happen when you align with your highest purpose and take action from that place of alignment. My journey has been full of twists, turns, and lessons, but each step has brought me closer to living a life that feels truly miraculous.
And now, I invite you to join me on this journey-Wednesday, September 25th. The next Power Circle, “Manifesting Miracles: Tools and Techniques for Powerful Results,” is designed to guide you through your own process of manifestation. If you're ready to understand the real power behind manifesting and learn the tools and techniques that can help you create extraordinary outcomes in your life and business, this event is for you.
RSVP by September 24th and take the first step towards manifesting your miracles. Let's walk this path together. You can secure your spot here: https://www.karengrubercoaching.com/fes-power-circle-september-2024-manifesting-miracles.

Decades ago, when I first embarked on my entrepreneurial journey, I was filled with passion and determination. I had a vision, a plan, and all the strategies in place. Yet, despite my best efforts, something was missing. I felt like I was constantly pushing against an invisible barrier, struggling to make the impact I knew I was capable of.
I remember the countless nights spent brainstorming, revising, and re-strategizing, hoping to find that elusive key to success. Despite the long hours and unwavering dedication, my business seemed to plateau, unable to break through to the next level. Frustration and doubt began to creep in, making me question if I was truly on the right path.
It wasn't until I discovered the profound power of energetic alignment that everything began to shift. I started exploring the concept of energetic vibrations, initially skeptical but curious. What I found was profoundly changing. Understanding and harnessing my energy allowed me to move through my entrepreneurial endeavors with a newfound sense of ease and flow. My business began to resonate more deeply with my true self, and in turn, with my audience. I started to change my daily activities to align with the woman who already had what I wanted.
I also began setting clear, intentional goals that aligned with my highest values and aspirations. This alignment made decision-making easier and more intuitive. One specific example was when I launched a new program that blended spiritual practices with business strategies. The response was incredible – I filled all the slots within days, something I had never experienced before. Clients began to tell me how much they resonated with my message and felt a genuine connection, which made them more eager to engage and invest in my offerings.
These changes not only boosted my business growth but also brought a profound sense of satisfaction and purpose to my work.
The Awakening
The turning point came during a particularly challenging period in my life and business. I was attending a retreat focused on personal growth and spiritual development. One of the sessions introduced the concept of energetic vibrations and their impact on our daily lives and professional endeavors. The idea that our thoughts, emotions, and intentions could directly influence our business outcomes was both intriguing and liberating.
As I delved deeper into this concept, I began to notice subtle shifts in my mindset and approach. Instead of pushing against obstacles, I started to flow with them, recognizing that every challenge carried a lesson and an opportunity for growth. This shift in perspective was profound. I felt lighter, more focused, and incredibly motivated.
Implementing Energetic Principles
Integrating energetic principles into my business wasn't an overnight process. It required patience, practice, and a willingness to let go of old, limiting beliefs. I began by setting clear, intentional goals that aligned with my highest values and aspirations. I practiced mindfulness and meditation to center myself and maintain a high vibrational state.
One of the most significant changes I made was to cultivate a positive and abundant mindset. I learned to trust in the process, believing that the universe was conspiring in my favor. This belief wasn't just a comforting thought; it became a guiding principle that influenced every decision I made.
Through aligning my business strategies with high-vibrational energy, I experienced a dramatic transformation. I began to attract the right clients, create more impactful content, and see tangible growth in my business. But more importantly, I felt more connected, purposeful, and fulfilled. This was the missing piece I had been searching for, and it elevated not just my business but my entire life.
Real-Life Impact
One of the most memorable moments of my journey was when a client, who had been struggling with her own business for years, shared her breakthrough with me. By applying the energetic principles we had discussed, she was able to overcome her fears, attract her ideal clients, and achieve her financial goals. Maya’s story was a testament to the power of energetic alignment and reinforced my belief in this transformative approach.
The journey of energetic alignment isn't just my story; it's a path that many successful entrepreneurs have walked. This approach is about more than just business success; it's about creating a life that feels deeply aligned with your true self, filled with purpose, passion, and prosperity.
