It won’t happen overnight, but dedication and focus will help you gain the ultimate enlightenment. Most of us don’t know our inner selves. Life is not all about materialistic gains, prestige and success. Don’t lead an ordinary life without realizing what life is all about. Know the person within you. Spiritual enlightenment will help you to realize the person within you, your dreams and aspirations, destiny, purpose of life. You will have much more control on your emotions. Here are few tips regarding how to awaken your soul and achieve spiritual enlightenment.

Know the ‘inner you’

Don’t forget the person within you is the true ‘you’, your spiritual self. Your true self won’t lie to you. You are a spiritual being captivated in a physical body. Your ideal self may lie to you, but you are what your true self is. Don’t let your physical self disconnect from your spiritual self. Don’t let your spiritual self sleep for too long that it becomes difficult to awaken. Find your spiritual being. When you will get to find your true spiritual self, your life will be overwhelmed with love, passion, peace, harmony and endless happiness.

Relax and distress your mind

Let your mind rest, relax and breathe freely. Don’t suffocate your mind with daily stress. Don’t think too much about troubles; treat them as passing phases of life. If you clutter your mind with too many troubles, you will fail to cope with life and your spiritual self will be suffocated. If you let your mind relax and breathe freely, more positive thoughts will embrace you with fresh gush of ideas and lot of peace and contentment. A relaxed mind will provide you with immense strength and courage in time of need.

Get rid of ambiguities

Remove all doubts from your mind. Mere doubts and ambiguity of thoughts can take you away from your spiritual self. Clear your doubts, come out with a single outcome even if it’s not desired. Clarify things right from the beginning and free your mind from all doubts and dualities.

Embrace positivity

Let positive thoughts embrace you always. If you are surrounded by dishonest, selfish, materialistic people change your company. Negative thoughts will not only make you live an artificial life but also take you miles away from your spiritual self. Thinking good will make you do good.

But that does not mean I do not call my clients. I do, and I do it with a purpose. I call my clients to know about him and his business. This helps me a great deal in working with him.

I will not tell you that you will get gazillions of benefits should you occasionally talk to your clients, but I can surely tell you about some benefits — that you will care about — of talking to a client on phone.

Benefits of doing business on phone

  1. The fastest mode of communication: You may think chatting, texting, and e-mailing are the fastest modes of communication, but they are not. They are not real-time, in a sense that telephonic conversation is. You can ask questions and seek answers to them in real time. The movement of communication thread in telephonic conversation is very swift.
  2. No ambiguity: It also reduces ambiguity. Unlike text, which could be interpreted in many ways depending upon the reader, spoken words tend to be clearer, as it gives away the intention of the speaker.
  3. Get response without delay: In a typical e-mail or chat communication, you send a message, your client reads it, he takes his time, type a response, and send it, and then you get to read it. And if you need further clarification, you start the process all over again. This is time consuming. Contrastingly, question and answer is live on the phone. There is no time-lag between question asked and answer given.
  4. You get to know your client: Knowing the nature of your client is very, very important. On e-mail, you get limited knowledge of your client. Of what kind of person he is, what he likes, what he hates, what he is fanatic about, and what he expects of you. This knowledge is a gold-mine. It will help you customize your offering.

There are many more benefits, but these are the ones that will help you increase your business. Do you still think you should not call your client?

Therefore, you need to know to handle the situation should your client gets angry on something — you are lucky if you have not get one, still you need to know the tricks to handle rough weather in freelance writing.

See his point of view

If your client is angry of you then try to find out the reason for his anger. Do not just judge the situation from your point of view only. You may be right, but it is the client who has to decide if he liked your work or not. After all, he is in better position to say whether your article or content will meet is his goal or not.

Do not argue, let him do the talking

No one wins the argument, so do not invest time in that. Let your client do the talking. This will help you understand his point of view, and will also vent his anger out. Do not interrupt, and speak only when he is done. Afterward, patiently explain everything, and logically build you case and tell him why you think the content in question will work.

Offer rewrite

Do not fight over the content, if you do not wish to lose that client. If your client is not satisfied by the output, offer a rewrite. Tell him you will rewrite everything to meet his expectation, and before you do that ask him about his particular requirement, in terms of style, presentation, and structure of the content that you are supposed to rewrite. Take every step necessary to remove the ambiguity from the project. This will help you rewrite it.

If your client’s anger is just then this will pacify him, and if it isn’t then you cannot do anything about it. But still, you should try to understand his point of view and solve the issues he has.
