GC&Cie: Marketing_Business & Spirituality… How To Combine Both…

 

Hello,

Let me introduce myself and my business quickly…

I’m Géraldine Cavagnon and this article is about my own Business: GC&Cie, a Marketing Business & Spirituality.

First of all, what does GC&Cie stands for ?

GC is for Géraldine Cavagnon, me.

Cie is: Companie for the network of independent people I’m working with. In other words, FREE people.

-Yes, I believe in FREEDOM-

A few months ago – or maybe more, I do not remember exactly – I posted a simple, “innocent” question on GC&Cie’s facebook page:

“What do you think about Business & Spirituality” ?

Wooow… what a “touchy-feely” question, right ? ;-)… I love Politically Incorrect questions. They are the most interesting ones ! Raising true topics…

I got a few answers… Some say it’s totally different, you cannot mix both.

Some answered with the filter of their education, some with the filter of their religion…

Anyway, it gave me the opportunity to observe the conscious level of people and I could clearly see they were not ready to hear my message.  So I decided to let it go.

BUT Today, I am in the mood to make a real answer. I finally feel like sharing my perspective on things.

Some people will agree, other disagree but that’s all right. I just want to share my message and you will do whatever you feel like with it.

So let’s start from the beginning…

What is a business for ?

A business is an activity meant to provide a service or a product to other people using money as an exchange. The person doing the activity receives money and it allows this person to live being integrated in the society (rent or buy a home, buy food, pay the phone bills etc…) ; the people receiving the product or service are happy to enjoy something they would not do themselves by lack of skills or time.

We, human beings, have the vocation to create, develop, organize life on planet Earth.

We have a brain, a consciousness and it is our responsibility to keep it busy. [busy-business]. It is not the human nature to stay totally lazy and do nothing.

I’m sharing this with you as I feel we tend to forget how wonderful work is, how important it is… We tend to forget what the meaning of work is and how meaningful it is to our lives.

A business provides a product or a service, help to other people and it’s a beautiful reason to love working !

What is spirituality ?

We, as human beings, have a body, a mind and a soul.

Our body is the vehicle that is used by the mind and soul to accomplish things in the material world.

-your vehicle is very important, take good care of it ! –

Spirituality is NOT religion. Spirituality comes from your spirit. From you mind and soul.

Spirituality is made of who you are, what you believe in.

Your beliefs come from your education, religion, culture, people you met, your own experiences…

From your beliefs as a body, mind and soul human come your values.

What do you stand for ?

Business is made by and for people. People with their own value system. And these values determine how are they going to make business.

Why do I believe in the importance of spirituality in business ?

I believe we need to create a better world. Smarter and fairer to everyone.

I believe it is the responsibility of everyone to create positive improvements exactly where they are and now.

What positive improvements ? Consciously try to do what we believe is the best for the maximum number of people in your environment (people and nature) and economically speaking.

Sustainability

When we work with that mindset, everything we say and do becomes meaningful and important.

It is so rewarding and it brings TRUE meaning to our lives, we become conscious of the positive impact we have on other people’s lives and on the entire planet Earth. (think about the butterfly effect)

I know it might sound utopian… Well, OK.

But people I know can witness that it is truly how I live, who I am.

Even if, like everybody, I may have fears, doubts, feel discouraged at times; I am mainly focused on the positive side of things.

Everyday I ask myself: How can I improve ? How can I help ? How can I make people feel happy ?

So, this is my message: please be conscious of what you do and say. Be conscious of how positive of an impact you can make on humanity and on the planet Earth.

While doing business, think about it…

Last but not least, I want to warmly thank all my customers and partners.

These women and men who work hard every day (and sometimes nights) with passion to make a positive difference in this world, provide products and services that improve life on Earth.

I want to tell them:

YOU are LIGHTS. You do create a better world.

You are the positive change you want to see in the world.

It has been and it is an honor to work with you.

THANK YOU

Special thanks also to Reksider who inspired me to share this message. NAMASTE.

  1. Bonsoir Géraldine,

    Il est tard et je viens de rentrer d’un rendez-vous avec une personne très spirituelle.

    Tu as raison, il est tout à fait envisageable et même souhaitable d’introduire plus de spiritualité dans le monde des affaires.

    Je souhaiterai que cela soit encore plus impactant que ça ne l’est aujourd’hui. Je pense très sincèrement que cela pourrait être LA solution à la crise que nous traversons, en tous cas, une autre voie d’accès vers le cœur de l’homme.

    Une entreprise n’est-elle pas une entité vivante à l’image d’un corps humain.

    Notre société est malade et elle aurait bien besoin d’aller chez le médecin.

    Parfois aussi j’ai l’impression de prêcher dans le désert…

    1. Rafael,
      Je suis tout à fait d’accord avec toi. Nous sommes de plus en plus nombreux à penser et vivre l’entreprise autrement.
      Restons donc optimistes et continuons dans la voie dans laquelle nous nous sommes engagés !
      La persévérance, la patience et les bonnes actions paient toujours à la fin 🙂

  2. Bonjour Géraldine,

    Je vois que tu fais toujours de ton mieux dans l’implication et la sincérité.Tu es sur ton chemin.
    Félicitations.

    1. Merci Fabienne. C’était un plaisir de partager un bout d’aventure avec toi et Jean-Michel et j’avais envie de le dire !
      Au plaisir de te revoir à l’occasion !

  3. Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or guest authoring on
    other sites? I have a blog based upon on the same topics you
    discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information.
    I know my viewers would appreciate your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

  4. I am really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog.

    Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.

    1. Thank you very much ! I appreciate your support…
      Especially from another light worker ! 😉

      As far as the layout is concerned, it is a free theme that has been totally modified and adapted to GC&Cie’s graphic identity.

  5. Réflexion intéressante et nécessite de la partager…Je pense déjà à une personne…

    C’est très bien Géraldine.

  7. I do not leave many responses, however i did a
    few searching and wound up here GC&Cie: Marketing Business &
    Spirituality… How To Combine Both…. And I actually do
    have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be only me or does it look like a few of the comments appear as if they are coming from brain dead visitors? 😛 And, if you are writing at additional social sites, I’d like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
    Could you make a list of every one of all your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

  8. You are so interesting! I don’t believe I’ve truly read anything
    like this before. So wonderful to find another person with a few
    genuine thoughts on this subject. Seriously.. thank you for starting
    this up. This site is one thing that is required on the web, someone with a bit of originality!

  9. I just want to say I’m very new to blogging and definitely enjoyed you’re page. Most likely I’m likely to bookmark your blog . You definitely have beneficial article content. Thank you for sharing with us your web-site.

  10. I too consider myself more spiritual than religious, but I reason a little differently. I think spirituality denotes a sense of living in the spirit, while religion implies a certain set of rules or practices that guide spirituality. I think religions can be very helpful in teaching ways to be more spiritual. Certain religious rituals remind us of our spirituality. Organized prayer can be a very powerful thing. My problems with religion come when a religion claims to be the ONLY WAY to reach god or enlightenment or whatever you want to call it. I also have problems with hate and war which are often backed by religions or religious people. But I also believe that churches and religions can be very positive forces in the world. I often enjoy reading teachings from different religions, it helps me get more in touch with my spiritual side. I believe that being spiritual means getting in touch with that part of me that is connected to a higher power or a sense of unity with the universe. When I find ways to get in touch with my spirituality, I find myself feeling more happy and relaxed in this life.

    1. Dear Harvey, to totally understood my point and I agree with you !
      Being spiritual is focusing more on the spiritual side than the physical/material side.
      It’s about thinking of our purpose, our values in this lifetime out of the material equation.
      And yes, religions teach us a lot about spirituality. It’s a pity they became dogmatic and force us to think or do their way.
      Spirituality is about knowing, understanding ourselves and the others and the universe; feeling good, learning how to live in harmony with each other and with nature…etc
      Thank you for your kind contribution to this article !

    1. Thanks to you for the kind comment ! More and more people do conscious business for the greater good of humanity !
