How To Love Being A Spirit-Fed Entrepreneur When Things Get Rough, is an insightful post featuring Robin and Sue, two inspiring sisters who share their values in life and business at TThe Copper Kettle Tea Bar, in Foley, Alabama. In this post, you’ll find practical tips to help you connect with your soul and self, understanding that this self-love sustains your spirit-fed enterprise during challenging times. Additionally, we provide a brief look into personality types that align well with spiritually-led businesses.
Robin Peters, co-founder of The Copper Kettle Tea Bar and the eldest sister, is an INFP. In Myers-Briggs terms, this means she is feeling, intuitive, sensing, and thinking. Spiritually speaking, I refer to these types as Seekers. They are unconventional and imaginative dreamers who pursue meaning and harmony based on their unique perspective.
We at the Cooper Kettle believe in offering a sacred space for those to gather and feed the spirit to build a soulful community. – Robin Peters, INTP, The Seeking Traveler.
Robin Peters, Co-Founder: The Cooper Kettle Tea Bar On Being A Spirit-Fed Entrepreneur
“I come from a family of strong women, each of whom has shaped my journey in unique ways. My grandmother deeply influenced me, passing down her entrepreneurial spirit. On the other hand, my parents gifted me with a zest for life and a deep appreciation for community and hospitality. My sister Sue, a culinary genius, has a remarkable talent in the kitchen. While I didn’t inherit the cooking gene, I honed skills in operations, technology, and networking with other business owners. These experiences guided me in shaping our company and staying focused on our core mantra: tea-ing is our essential process. Our philosophy has remained steadfast from day one: we are a sanctuary of hospitality, inclusivity, and sacred connection. We strive to nourish the spirit, nurture the soul, and unite the community.” – Robin Peters and Sue Adams, co-founders of The Copper Kettle Tea Bar.
For me it is believing I am not the source , God is and he created us all with a uniqueness that is valued and important …what we call work. – Robin Peters, the co founder of The Copper Kettle Tea Bar.
Robin and Sue are beautiful caring souls, rare individuals who have found a way to operate a healthy and successful business. “Personally the philosophy of the tea room stands for me. I need to stop, slow down and remember what’s important because most problems at work or when things do not go how I planned are nothing but a thing…and not life changing unless I give it that power.” says, Robin Peters. Another great takeaway from Robin who seems to have prioritized the notion of self-care to maintain balance and resilience, an essential business tool.
Tips for Thriving as a Spirit-Fed Entrepreneur During Tough Times
Embracing your spirit-fed journey during challenging moments can transform your life and business. Here’s how you can start nurturing your soul and self to fuel your enterprise:
– Ground Yourself in Faith
When storms hit, anchor yourself in your faith. Connect with spiritual beliefs that resonate with you. For INTPs, practices like Qigong, meditation, and grounding techniques such as breathworks, meditative walking, or a soothing bath can provide stability and clarity.
– Cultivate a Positive Mindset
See challenges as opportunities for growth. In my book Unpack Your Personality, I describe setbacks as windows to personal development. Approach them as learning experiences rather than failures. Maintain a positive outlook with inspirational quotes, affirmations, and a network of supportive friends who share your values.
– Embrace Adaptability
Trust in your true self and spiritual roots to provide a stable core. Embrace change with an open heart, as it often brings unexpected opportunities and growth. Flexibility and innovation become easier when you’re grounded in your core beliefs.
– Seek Guidance and Wisdom
Intuition can guide you beyond logic. Trust your instincts and seek advice from those who have navigated similar paths. Building relationships with experienced mentors can offer valuable insights. Have faith in your gut feelings—they are messages from a higher consciousness illuminating your path to success.
– Practice Gratitude
Gratitude shifts your perspective and fosters joy, even during tough times. Reflect daily on what matters most, and express thanks for lessons learned, relationships formed, and progress achieved. This practice can bring fulfillment and positivity, no matter the challenges you face.
These Personas Thrive as Spirit-Fed Entrepreneurs, Even When Times Are Tough
From childhood, these types have been known for marching to the beat of their own drum, never quite fitting into conventional molds. They embrace their uniqueness, and depending on your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), you might discover just how special you are. Remember, all personality types can and should trust their gut instincts. Some naturally connect with their intuition more easily. The key is to make that connection conscious and harness its benefits in your entrepreneurial journey. Discover more about these types and others in my new book: Unpack Your Personality: Let Your Inner Guide Be Your Travel Guide.
ENFJ
Harmonious and creative, ENFJs excel at systems, networking, and supporting others. They’re change catalysts who use their charm to inspire and persuade others to embrace their vision. They thrive as persuasive entrepreneurs.
INFJ
Insightful and deeply creative, INFJs often prefer meaningful conversations to the spotlight. They may work best with a business partner but quietly lead and take charge behind the scenes. They shine as thoughtful entrepreneurs.
ENTJ
Assured and imaginative, ENTJs combine creativity with sharp instincts for problem-solving. They enjoy attention and can be theatrical, yet their commanding presence makes them powerful and unorthodox entrepreneurs.
INTJ
Inventive and intellectual, INTJs possess exceptional problem-solving skills and a preference for solitude. Their creative nature and focus on solutions make them ideally suited for running a home business. They excel as solution-focused entrepreneurs.
ENTP
Curious, comedic, and direct, ENTPs speak their minds and embrace new ideas with enthusiasm. They explore every option and thrive on innovation, making them pioneering entrepreneurs who drive growth.
INTP
Ingenious and adaptable, INTPs are independent thinkers who thrive alone. They prefer minimalism and remain open to change and new perspectives. Their flexibility and questioning minds make them effective solo entrepreneurs.
ENFP
Spontaneous, independent, and original, ENFPs bring genuine optimism to their ventures. They inspire change through their words and actions, staying true to themselves no matter the business context. They are trailblazing entrepreneurs.
Knowing what my work is has helped me really see clearly what and why I am doing. It frees me from the ego and misplaced responsibility sometimes business owners take on – Sue Adams, Co-Founder, The Copper Kettle Tea Bar.
