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

What’s the Proper Way to Quit a Job?

I’ve talked to many people that have told me they are unhappy in their job – they want to leave but they’re not sure of the best way, or even if it’s a wise move – I mean, wouldn’t it be better to just stay and be miserable considering the economy?

Personally, I can really relate to being unhappy in your job – it’s what happened to me and how I ended up doing the work I’m in now.  I was VERY unhappy in my job!

I was a corporate executive, working about 90 – 100 hours a week.  I was never disconnected – I took my work home, took phone calls at home, and often worked late into the night.

I had this kind of Type-A, workaholic personality that pushed me to do all this, but I was so unhappy because I didn’t feel like I was doing anything that really made a difference.

In my experience, I’ve come to understand that if you are unhappy in your job to the point where you are looking for the proper way to quit a job, there is a real disconnect – an energetic misalignment with where you are right now.

Your job may have served you extremely well over the years, but now there is a disconnect and you want more.  It’s like you’ve launched some rockets – what I call Order Forms to the Universe – and you’ve basically launched an Order Form that says:

• I want to feel fulfilled in my work
• I want to enjoy the people I work with
• I want to make the kind of money that makes me happy – that pays my bills and luxuries
• I want more

The disconnect is that while you want more, you’re in a situation where you only keep focusing in on how you don’t have it, so what you get is a crashing against you’re current beliefs – there’s no way I can do it, I won’t be able to find anything new, etc.

For me it was along the lines of, “Who would ever pay me the kind of money that I am making now in any other career? I’m not really qualified to do anything else!”

The truth was, there were a lot of beliefs I had to shift – because it was my own beliefs that were actually holding that miserable reality in place for me! Read more

How Are You Solving Problems?

Going through all of these lessons with you on the 30 Day Empowered Spiritualpreneur Challenge, I keep
remembering how it all began…

I used to work in corporate sales, and I was really very good at what I did – but I often felt like something was missing.

Most of these processes came from those same seeds that were sown years ago when I was in that place. I wasn’t as connected or really trusting that connection then, but I was asking (even before I knew I was asking) and I was getting glimmers of all these things that eventually evolved into what you are learning now.

The Problem/Solution Template covered in the most recent Lessons posted in the 30 Day Empowered Spiritualpreneur Challenge came about because of my own frustrations with trying to use the scripted sales material that I was being taught and expected to use.

There were all these scripts written on how to engage people and how to get to their pain and how to overcome their objections.

And the agenda that is at the core of those scripts is always to get YOU to do what I WANT you to do.

It always felt very uncomfortable to me, because I didn’t feel like I was being genuine.

Even when the script worked, it didn’t feel the best. I would think, “How do I even know if this is something they even want or even need?” It was all about just kind of regurgitating this pushy, scripted process.

I just always had this feeling that there HAD to be

a better way…

It’s the same with all of these tools – they came to me because of my own contrast and my own challenges and my own misalignment with the accepted way of doing things – the feeling in the pit of my stomach that this just doesn’t feel right – that there had to be a better way.

I knew that if I could just help people connect that really did ultimately want and need what I had that I would be an answer to their prayer and they would be an answer to mine.

So I started asking, “How can I do that?” 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!

Does Asking People to Pay for What You Are Offering as an Entrepreneur Make You Feel Bad?

One of my students came to me the other day to gain clarity on an issue with which she was having some contrast.

She’s been learning about the power of Intentions and attracting what you want in your life and business, and she came to me with the following question:

“If my Intention is to attract my ideal client who is willing and able to pay for my services and products, how do I reconcile this when I’m writing an article on creating financial independence and speaking to people who are finding that life is a continual struggle?

I find that many people today are stressed out, tired, feeling overwhelmed and depressed.  How can they pay for my services and products when they can’t make ends meet?

It seems as though I’m asking the Universe for one thing as an entrepreneur, and then doing something completely different. But I know that I have the solution to their problems!”

The first thing I said to her was, “Let me see if I understand this correctly. Your ideal client is someone who doesn’t have any money to pay you?”

She answered, “Right now, yes. A lot of them want the work – the products and services that I am offering – but they can’t pay for it”.

I came back to her again: “But my question is, is your ideal client someone that doesn’t have any money to pay you, or is not willing to allocate resources to pay you?” Read more

What is the Energetic Element of YOUR Free Workshop?

When you use the Free Workshop Approach to market your product or service, you’re using the same consultative process you would use one on one, except that you’re doing it with a lot of people at one time.

You’re doing it with groups, which provides the platform for your products and services to be offered and sold.

These are groups of people that haven’t had the opportunity and the pleasure of connecting with you yet.

• You are moving as a Spiritualpreneur to that level where you’re standing in a more powerful place.
• You are letting your light come out from under the bushel.
• You are drawing attention to who you really are and what you have to offer in a bold way!

Creating and maintaining the connection of your individual personality to that of Spirit is energy.

It is the energy that these people are going to be served for the highest good of all and that they’re attracted to you because of who you are and what you offer.  Their pager is going off to your number and vibrationally, you are there to serve them.

There are so many of them out there and together that you need to create vehicles for them to you find you.  You can stay in your home office and hope they will get to you at some point but it will take longer.

Just get out there so they can find you and let the momentum snowball to your Vision!

Most people offering a free workshop go in with an idea of something that they want to impart.  Often they do this great workshop and they just workshop their heart out.

They go in and teach, teach, teach, teach, teach. Read more

Have You Ever Thought About How You Can do Joint Ventures “Offline”?

Teleseminars and Joint Ventures are great ways to market your business on the Internet.

But have you ever thought about leveraging those same ideas and activating your ability to do an in-person seminar and have the same great success?

This is yet another marketing channel for you to easily and effortlessly connect to your ideal clients and be a huge revenue producer.

What makes this process so easy is that the principles and formula for the Internet campaign are the same for the in-person seminar.

You get to discover Joint Venture folks who are on-fire to promote your work, as well as give gifts from them to your ideal clients so that you are also promoting them.

This is the essence of the energy exchange.

Connecting with your ideal clients in person this way can actually be easier than something like a teleseminar, because you are really able to tap their different senses.

Awhile back I made a decision to create my own in-person workshop to identify and address a gap that I had in my own life.  I then attracted the “right” business partner and together we created products and services to support others who also experienced this same gap in their lives.

As a busy mother of a young child, I often found myself doing what I called the “five o’clock freezer stare” when it came time to figuring out what to serve my family for dinner after a long day.

I just knew that others shared that feeling of lack of time and energy to cook as well as concern for wanting good, nutritional meals for the family. Therefore, Heavenly Meals was born.

This business was born out of my gap and I was looking for people to support who felt just like me.

For the Heavenly Meals Workshop, I didn’t do any fee-based advertising in the newspapers – it was all Joint Ventures.  My business partner and I ended up having over 100 people at the workshop.

You can always do advertising if you feel led – just remember that Joint Ventures don’t cost you anything, or very little.  And they give you great local connections!

You can keep costs at a minimum and do customized mailers.   I opted to write the copy for the Joint Venture partners to give them an example of an endorsement and just let them sign their name to it.

I simply told them, “I’ll write it for you and you can tweak it to make it personalized from you, but I’ll set everything up to make it totally easy for you.”

In terms of hosting, you can also offer the opportunity that someone hosts your promotional workshop and get 20% of all revenue in return as their referral fee.

I did this for that workshop, and then went out to look for folks for their goody-bag stuff.

So, I did:

• Marketing first to get Joint Venture partners
• Created all the promotional copy that was then sent out to potential ideal clients
• Handled all the logistical set-up
• And wrote the script for the workshop

If this seems like something that is intimidating or overwhelming, remember to always begin any project at an inner level.  Manage your energy around it before taking ANY action.

Before you begin to put together the documents, formulas and outlines that you will need, take an opportunity to activate your connection to Spirit about this workshop approach.  You can use the following Activation Exercise for this purpose: Read more

What Are Some of the Qualities You Will Need to be Successful in Affiliate Marketing?

If you’re a Spiritualpreneur, you’re probably not comfortable with the idea of being just a passenger on the ship of life.

You would rather take your destiny into your own hands then continue to be tossed on the waves of what is going on around you!

You have the desire of maneuvering the ship yourself and being able to take it anywhere you want to.

Being onboard a ship that is on its way to a particularly great destination is something you dream of, and the knowledge that you do have the capacity to steer it yourself is what empowers you to achieve your dream!

One of the ways that you can take your destiny into your own hands is through financial freedom.  I believe that all Spiritualpreneurs should be financially free, and that there are incredible opportunities out there for those that are looking!

If you are looking for ways to achieve this in your life through a second income stream, you should really consider affiliate marketing.

In this business, there are no bosses to order tell you what to do.  There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter.  When you are equipped with the tools you need to succeed in this business, you are bound to get what your heart ultimately desires.

So, what are some of the things you need to be able to succeed in affiliate marketing?

While there is a lot of competition involved in affiliate marketing, you can rise above the norm when you are equipped with just the right stuff necessary to propel you forward!

I recommend that you begin with these 5 steps that will enable you to stand out among the rest. Read more

What Does Managing Your Spiritual Energy Have to do With Your Success in Business?

When I talk about managing spiritual energy, it is the idea that your thoughts, feelings, words and actions have an associated electrical frequency.

It has not been the conventional wisdom that what is happening in your outer experience has anything whatsoever to do with where you are focusing your thoughts, or where your beliefs are.

But there is a direct correlation between where I’m focusing the energy of my thoughts and beliefs and what happens in the world around me.

Often the most powerful beliefs will stem from your childhood. Perhaps you have the belief that, “work is a struggle”, because you saw that in your childhood.

You may not say it or think you think it, but this unconscious belief is a powerful aspect of your energy, and you will recreate it in your actions.

You are literally going to create experiences that cause this belief to show up as true for you. Read more

Do You Have to Have Everything Perfectly in Place Before Starting Out as an Entrepreneur?

When I first began to attract the vibrationally matched clients that I have now, I decided to simply go out there without being perfect – without feeling like I knew everything.

I just put my energy and my trust in where I felt led and inspired.  That is how you become more of an expert – practice and practice and practice.

And, just as important as the practice is to let go of the idea that it has to be perfect, or you have to have every “i” dotted and “t” crossed.

You just have to jump in or you will miss opportunities.

Remember, a pivotal quality of a successful entrepreneur is that you make decisions quickly and move on them.  If you never start out, you will never get going in the direction you desire because you never put any energy forward.

Staying in this ping-pong ball energy keeps you in paralysis.

So many entrepreneurs tend to be in the “what-if” mode, which prevents them from being able to take the moves forward that they truly desire.  Any of these sound familiar?

Do you tend to thoughts like:

• If I do it wrong, no one will come
• If I can’t be 100%, why do it?
• What if someone asks questions I don’t know the answer to?
• What if no one comes to my free class?

If you do, you need to manage your energy and think instead: Read more
