Here’s a great article written by my colleague and fellow Spiritualpreneur, Christine Kloser – the significance of what she has written was quite striking to me, and I’m sure you will find it so as well.
Read on to find out more about her “Interesting Observation”:
“This really isn’t an “official” article, rather an observation about something I’ve been experiencing within myself after reaching the seven-figure mark in my business.
I’d been striving to reach this position in my business for several years. It always felt so out of reach to me, until this year when everything changed at The Freedom Formula Experience (for me and the attendees).
When I realized I’d hit my income goals (largely based on the success of the event), it was difficult to believe.
Literally, I was pinching myself because I had been dreaming about this kind of success for so long, but now it was here. So, what do I do now that I was LIVING that financial dream?
Well, after taking it in and celebrating my success at David Neagle’s Million Dollar Entrepreneur award ceremony, I started talking with my husband about the new car I wanted to buy, planning an extravagant vacation, and the jewelry I wanted, etc.
Then, I realized those voices in my head (that were wrapped up in the materialism of hitting a financial milestone like this) weren’t truly my own voices. They were the voices of what I thought I should do after a milestone like this… right?
I ought to express it to the outside world by acquiring fancy things. But, after noticing that none of those desires felt true to my soul, I “got” that the only thing I really valued the money for was its ability to help me express more of myself in the world.
- So, rather than getting a new car right away, I sent a $10,000 check to Women for Women International on behalf of The Freedom Formula Experience to support women impacted by war in third world countries (including micro-loans… so once women are rescued they can earn a decent living).
- And, instead of planning an extravagant vacation, we paid off credit cards.
- And, instead of splurging on jewelry, I anonymously gave money to the maintenance man at my gym. (He’s the kind of guy who LOVES his job cleaning floors and keeping the gym spotless. Plus, he always has a smile on his face and kind words to say to the members.) So, it felt great to anonymously appreciate him with a monetary gift.
It’s been a very enjoyable shift for me to feel myself more grounded, more UNinterested in materialistic things, more interested in how I can use my success to make things better for others… and, extraordinarily interested in how I can embrace my success as a vehicle for deepening my connection to my own soul.
Now, there’s nothing in the world that money could buy that would be any better than that.

I really liked your blog!
To be very true, My desires and wishes were out of control when I got some money which was not expected in some of my online ventures. I think it is just a turning point which can lead us to a dead end or we’ll be on our destiny. There were many dreams which were the same as yours but I took the right decisions. I started many ventures for volunteer purposes and they are helping the poor now. I am more than happy.
Your blog is very informative and money makes me out of control when i got money from the internet. It does not matter how can i earn money and where i got
this opportunity on internet. Nice information and thanks for sharing.

I don’t know what to say about this interesting observation from Christine Kloser but I really like how you wrote your articles
