How Can Abraham Hicks’ “What-if-itis” Help Grow Your Business?

Blooming

I was recently listening to a CD of Abraham Hicks.  In the CD, he talked about both “What-is-itis” and “What-if-itis”.

“What-is-itis” occurs when you are being held back from things in your reality.  “What-if-itis” occurs when you’re worried about what hasn’t happened yet, and that worry keeps you from moving ahead.

As I listened to the CD, I thought about one of my clients.  Let’s just call her “Sue”.

Sue suffered from “What-if-itis”.  She was afraid to call a prospect who was referred to her.  All she could think about was what would happen.  She couldn’t see anything positive coming out of from the conversation.  She didn’t believe that she was prepared for the client, or that she had had everything she needed for the client.

I worked with Sue to get rid of her “What-if-itis” until she could finally get past her fear and call the prospect.

Once she did, not only did she have a great conversation with prospect, she landed a new client that she loves working with.  This only happened when she finally got off the starting block by removing her “What-if-itis”.

As the Abraham Hicks explained in his CD, there are a number of different types of “itis”.  Each one has the same result — they hold you back from achieving the success you deserve.  These include:

  • “What-if-itis. Worrying about what hasn’t happened yet.
  • “What-is-itis”. Fearing things in your currently reality.
  • Perfectionistic-itis”. Trying to make everything perfect.
  • Analysis-paralisis-itis“.  Spending so much time thinking everything through that you don’t take risksSpending all your time planning ahead for problems that might occur.

So, what “itis” is holding YOU back in business?

What’s Holding You Back From Success With Your List of Small Business Ideas?

I have a client who has decided to put writing a book on her list of small business ideas.

She came to me with her plan, which was to interview very successful people that are using Universal Principles. I was honoured that she asked me to be a part of it, and she’s gotten several other very successful Spiritualpreneurs to agree to participate.

So she said that for our next coaching session, she wanted me to go over the list of questions she would be asking each person for the interview format of this book she was putting together.

I told her that was fine, but when we got into our session, I asked her, “Do you feel like we’re missing something here?”

She said, “What? What’s missing?

I responded to hear, “Well, you know that the first thing you need to do when you’re starting a goal is to see what your Energy Blueprint around it is – what are the beliefs that are serving you and what are the beliefs that are not serving you…right?”

OH Yeah, right!

Then I said, “And the next thing you need to do is create an Order Form to the Universe to get very clear on what you don’t want, and get very clear on what you do want – how you want to feel and how you don’t want to feel…right?”

She’s nodding her head now, “Yes, that’s right!

“And then”, I said, “You need to create a Problem Solution Template to get into the problems and issues of your audience – your ideal reader of this book – and THAT is what will drive the questions you will be asking in these interviews…right?”

Of course, that’s right!

Then she said, “You know what’s so amazing is that even after all this time, I just wanted to dive right into the doing – right into the tell me what the questions are – I wasn’t even thinking about the rest of the process!”

I said to her, “Yes, and the amazing thing to me is that you didn’t want to do it the easy way! Using the Energy Management system in your list of small business ideas is the easy way! Doing the Problem Solution Template is the easy way!

Then I said to her, “What would have happened if you just dove right into these questions like you wanted to?” Read more

Aside from all the great events this week, the 30 Day Empowered Spiritualpreneur Challenge Lessons 6-9 were posted this week!  It’s amazing to see how much can be accomplished in 30 Days!

All of these tools and this entire process – everything that I am sharing with you in the 30 Day Empowered Spiritualpreneur Challenge – have come about from my own asking. I asked when I found myself experiencing overwhelm as a mother, wife, and business owner – I had a very busy and full life, but it wasn’t always easy!

When I was starting out there was a lot that was riding on me being successful in my own business.

Essentially, it wasn’t an option of me not being successful!  I had a baby on the way and just left a high paying job – my husband told me that we had just a couple months before we would need to start selling our things to survive!

Partnering with Spirit at that time was the most important thing that helped me transcend the logical and continue to focus on serving – supporting my clients in ways that I would want. Getting inside the head and heart of my ideal clients and coming from an Intention of serving and partnering with them was truly what enabled me to achieve the success that I did!

But as I was doing my Scripting and finding positive evidences throughout my week, something would always seem to happen where I would find myself hitting a brick wall – something would come up that would frustrate me and cause me to undo all the careful energy management work that I had been doing during the week!

Do You Ever Feel so Tangled up That You Can’t Move Forward in Your Own Business?

Baby Steps
What’s the Best way to Move Forward?

Just over a year ago, my family and I experienced the serious illness of my Mom, and all my brothers and sisters had to deal with this situation together.

Everything was ambiguous and we didn’t know what was going to happen for sure.  We couldn’t even make plans.

What I needed to keep saying to all of the others was, “You know, we just have to take this one step at a time.  We don’t know what the end result is going to be.

We don’t even know what’s going to happen from moment to moment because it’s all uncertain.  So what we need to do is soften this whole experience, right?

Would you agree that no matter what happens we’re going to have to deal with it in the moment?  But we can soften it a little bit by acknowledging that right now, here is where we are.

“What we have to do is understand that we can’t fix this right now”.

I said this in front of all our family members.  “Can we all be Ok with the fact that we can’t fix this right now? Can we all agree that right now we can’t fix this?”

They were like, “Yeah.  OK, then what can we do?  Where can we find our place of power even now in what seems like a place of no power.”

This was the softening that we all needed to cope with the unknown and still be in the present to take action as needed.

You will often find yourself in situations in life or in your own business or career where you are in a point of what I call tangled energy. It’s like you’re in the middle of a big knot and you can’t get out and you can’t go farther because you’re just stuck!

When you feel that way, try the following steps for detangling your energy.  You won’t be able to move beyond a blockade in your own business, or even forward to managing your energy around it until you are able to first smooth out the knot! Read more

Do You Recognize the Patterns & Beliefs That Are Serving You in Your Own Business?

Universal Blueprint

I was talking to a client the other day that had just begun applying one of the Energy Management tools to his own business called the Energy Blueprint.

He was telling me, “I went through looking at things that are serving me and things that are not serving me, and I didn’t even get to the second half of it, which is new beliefs and patterns!

“I was more moving through being aware and recognizing patterns that I have that don’t serve me with relationships with people to get the response that I want from them and stopping myself and saying, ‘Well, why did you say that?  There must be a reason.’

“It was a matter of just noticing, just the ability to scrutinize behaviors or things that I’m saying and to stop and give thought to where they actually came from.”

I asked the client, “Well, how do you think that was that useful to you in starting to analyze that?”

He responded, “I think that it’s helping me establish new patterns just through the recognition.  I think that part of it is that we grow up and we have all of this stuff that we become from our environment and not all of it necessarily serves us.

“Maybe it serves us then but it doesn’t necessarily serve us now and we carry it around.  So it’s like virtual dumping if you will to make way for new things.  That’s what I would say.”

Let me tell you, that client was pretty insightful on the value of doing this!

Whenever I do a new Energy Blueprint with clients, I usually suggest they do it on a quarterly basis. But I think there is also a real value in doing it even on a monthly basis to just look at the beliefs and patterns that are serving you.

You can break it down into business, money, relationships – any aspects that are physical.

I love putting things into charts and bullets and things like that.  I come from corporate America and I really like these organized ways of seeing that I’m changing and shifting.

Are You a Vibrational Match to the Success That You Want to Attract in Your Own Business?

One of my clients that I do business coaching for recently gave birth to twins.  She had actually had a big challenge with conceiving – fertility issues and those types of things, so it was truly a miracle when she had those twins.  We had actually used the Energy Management process to help her be a match to conceive and give birth to these two twin girls, and now it had happened.

So as she’s been going through this process and beginning to recover from the birth and everything, she’s really feeling the pull to get back on track with her own business. She’s been off for a couple of months now.

During our session, the first thing I had her do was an Energy Blueprint on the topic of being able to have her twins and have her business too.  She needed to surface up:

  • What are the beliefs that are serving you
  • What are the beliefs that are not serving you
  • And then start working on that in a Progressive way.

So I helped her to surface all that up and through it she got a progressive belief: “I want to believe that I can have a successful, striving business and have a thriving parenting experience.”

Does the state of the economy really matter to your success?
