In my last blog post, I talked about how as a Sensitive Entrepreneur, your sensitivity is not a weakness but rather your GREATEST strength.

As highly sensitive people, entrepreneurs like you and I think and feel more deeply than most. We experience the world around us much more intensely. You may think this will hold you back in your business but in fact your sensitivity can be used as a business superpower!

How?

The most important first step is recognizing your sensitivity as a business ASSET, not a liability.

Here are a few ways to look at your sensitivity as a competitive advantage that will help your business to flourish.

Being a daydreamer gives you the fuel to build a powerful business.

Do you feel like your vivid imagination runs away with
you?

Your ability to envision the future is a superpower that is at the heart and soul of any successful business. As a highly sensitive person you can see what most others can’t, and you sense what pieces go together to develop a targeted roadmap to create a standout business.

Being overwhelmed by creative ideas makes you an awesome innovator.

You know that constant stream of ideas that wake you up in the middle of the night? Don’t dismiss this as an annoying quirk!

Highly sensitive people have come up with the most life-changing ideas, inventions and products. Do the names Sir Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison ring a bell? Yes, they were highly sensitive just like you. Entrepreneurship thrives on creativity, which is why most businesses have super creative people at the helm.

Being “too emotional” creates remarkable customer loyalty.

Have you ever been told you’re “too emotional” or “overly sensitive”? You probably hide this part of yourself because it can be perceived as a weakness in business.

However, your incredible awareness of the suffering of others can be your customer service superpower. Your empathy and intuition can keep you a step ahead of customer service issues. You can usually sense when something isn’t quite right, and you care a lot when a customer is unhappy. Sensitive entrepreneurs tend to offer a level and quality of customer service that is far superior to many other businesses—giving us an incredible competitive edge and many satisfied, loyal customers.

Bottom line: Please stop trying to “fix” your sensitivity and start embracing it for all its gifts in business. This is the most important step in activating your natural superpowers.

No more hiding. It’s time to step out and shine a light on ALL your gifts, so the people that need you the most can find you.

And when you honor and work in a way that is truest for you, you will be amazed how you and your business will soar!

So how can you use your sensitivity as your superpower?
