Category — Stepping up in your business

Do you ever wonder if you’ll ever succeed getting your business going?  Like you’ve put out endless effort to grow your business but it just isn’t happening yet?

I’d love to share with you a secret that you have likely heard before but one that is SO important.  A quote I read this morning sums it up pretty good:

“There seems to be a door on the way to remarkable success that can be passed through only by those willing to persevere beyond the point where the majority stop and turn back”  ~ Earl Nightingale

I’ve read recently that something like 80% of businesses fail within the first 3 years.

This is sad to me because often these same failures could have been huge successes, if they had just kept going.

How do I know?  Let me share a bit of a story about my own business…

At the 3 year mark, I made something like $8,600 in my entire third year of business.  So obviously things were not looking up, that’s a heck of a lot of effort put into something that didn’t “appear” to be working.

Here’s the thing…

If I would have quit then, I would be with the other 80% who “failed” in the first 3 years of business.

But that’s not what happened.

Within the first 5 months of that next year, I more than tripled my sales.  And my business has been growing at a rapid pace ever since, all of this even in spite of going through a recession in that time.

Why do I share this with you?

A couple of reasons.

I get frustrated when some business mentors paint a picture only of the success and forget to mention the truth about what it can be like to get there.  You see that rosy picture, then you look at your business which is miles away from that picture, and you feel discouraged because YOU can’t seem to get there.

And the other reason goes back to this, I’m not really sure “failure” is the right word.  I’d say most often failure is what happens when you give up too soon.

I could have been a “failure” but instead, I kept going.  I didn’t give up.  I got help.  I did whatever it took to find the way to succeed.  I didn’t stop until I found the way.

Because the way is there.

And I’m glad I didn’t give up.  If I gave up, not only would I not be living this life that is totally incredible to me, based in freedom, passion and authenticity inside and out… But all of the clients I have helped free themselves to live their purpose could still be stuck.  And that is sad.

You have an important purpose, your work, your wisdom, your gifts, your energy ARE needed in the world.  Right now.

So do you have to wait until year 3 to take off in your business?  I don’t think so.  The energy in the planet right now supports your success.  I watch how quickly things move with my clients and I am amazed.  The time is now.

If you don’t want to wait forever, I suggest you take a shortcut, and the only one I know is to find someone who is ahead of you on the path, who knows the shortcuts, who has been where you are and has gotten out of it and to learn from them how to speed up your path.

There are plenty of great mentors out there, I’ve learned from many myself, but I do recommend making sure that the person is fully aligned with you, is similar enough to you that they can understand your challenges and really know how to get YOU from where you are to where you want to be.

It’s time step up and shine!

There are even more secrets to growing your business faster, particularly as a Holistic Practitioner or healer as you likely have unique challenges that most business mentors have no clue about.  I’d love to share more with you at my upcoming FREE workshop:

“Grow Your Holistic Business Faster! Avoid the 3 Massive Mistakes Most Holistic Practitioners Make That Stop Them From Making The Money They Desire & Deserve”

This workshop takes place in New York City September 10^th, Edmonton September 15^th, Calgary September 20^th and Vancouver October 19^th.

Do whatever it takes to be there, this could be THE turning point in your business.  It’s time to step up and shine.  Your people need exactly what it is that you have but, if you’re not succeeding in your business, that means they can’t find you.

Do you sometimes get discouraged by the lack of results you see in your business?  Knowing on some level that you are meant to do this work,  you felt called to start your business, yet where the heck are the results?

Here is a special message for you that I was guided to share with you:

Dear one you are shaking and nervous about your work, about your ability to deliver it and to live a great life that involves your business being your means of income.  The results of your efforts may seem small, perhaps you face disappointment after disappointment.

What is really happening here?

Did you ever stop to think that you were perhaps not doing something wrong… that everything that is happening is happening to both strengthen a key energy within you of faith and to also show you the way to this life you envision?

You often face feelings of doubt.  When you have doubt in yourself, your abilities, your worth, your message, your program you are sending out a conflicting message to the Universe.  You say you are ready, you take actions, but your energy says otherwise.

With this conflict in your energy, you can not create powerful results.

It is most important to resolve this doubt.  For until you do, you will have the brakes on.  With doubt, you will never be able to create the most results, they will always be minimized and reduced because your energy is restricted.  It doesn’t match the success you envision.

You may fear stepping fully into belief because what would happen if you believed and were then disappointed?  What if you were to look like a failure?  So rather than face this possibility, you back down and sink into doubt. 

Doubt is safer.  With doubt you are allowing yourself to choose to be small. 

What might shift in your business if you stopped doubting yourself?  If you chose to TRUST and act as though success were guaranteed?

I’ll tell you what would happen, you would be sending a powerful message to the Universe that you are no longer holding back and letting your small self run the show.  You would begin to attract at an entirely new level, and you would attract THE WAY to actually create the results you envision if you were able to hold onto trust instead of doubt.

Would the results you create change immediately?  Maybe not. 

You don’t know what you don’t know and you may need to learn new skills for example to help you become the person who can create those results.  Energy alone does not create your reality because you live in a physical world. 

But energy is the foundation, if you’re stuck in doubt, no action can help you.  If you’re choosing to trust and take action on that trust, then the way begins to be activated.

The way may involve people, programs, ideas, mentors, books coming your way to help you get the skills and knowledge you need to translate your vision of what success looks like for you into physical reality.

Let go of attachment to results, there is no failure anyway, just learning.  And you will learn WAY more if you choose to trust and step up.  And you won’t learn much if you don’t step up, if you choose to let doubt rule you and keep you small.

The world needs your gifts.  The world needs your confidence, your belief, your energy.  The world needs your example of faith in action and of what is truly possible when you step up bravely for what is in your heart.

We leave you with this:

Most of the world hides out, most of the world does not take charge of their destiny.  It may feel uncomfortable for you to do it a new way.  But that discomfort is the very thing that shows you that you’re on track. 

That you’re riding the wave toward your new future.  Comfort is a signal you are choosing to stay small.  Be willing to be uncomfortable, be willing to be brave, to step up, to shine your light to the world in the way only you can.

You won’t see just how much incredible help and support there is, just for you, to help you get there until you do.

What have you been avoiding?  What have you been afraid to try in case you might fail?  Can you allow yourself to be willing to step up, to show up and take the new steps that you have avoided in the past?  Can you be willing to get on the bike for the first time, to fall once or twice so you can finally learn?  So you can create a new reality for yourself?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to Fia-Lynn:

Be willing to be brave, be willing to step up.  I’ve done this countless times in my business only to see absolutely incredible things happening.  My sales tripling or doubling, the way showing up for me just as I chose to step up.

The funny thing is, you can’t see it until you step up.  The Universe won’t show you the way until you say yes and take the actions that show you believe you will succeed.

Take a moment right now to identify something you’ve been avoiding, an action, big or small that you could take right now to show the Universe you’re ready to step up, you’re ready to trust.  And take it!  Be willing to be uncomfortable and you’ll grow your business faster than you can imagine.

It’s your time to shine.  Show that you believe it.

This is the foundation of Fearless Faith, the energy that has allowed me to feel 100% supported every step of the way on my journey.  Whether I was freaked out or not, knowing that I am being guided to grow my business quickly.

There are many more keys to growing your business, I’ve shared a powerful one here, and I’m excited to be sharing much more, including how to immediately shift out of doubt so you can stay in the energy of trust and faith.

Most Holistic Practitioners and healers have a hard time charging high fees.  Because of this, they end up suffering financially, often not able to make a great living doing the work that they love.  If this sounds familiar, I’d love to share with you how this can be avoided by understanding the #1 cause of not owning your value.

When it comes to charging, many Holistic Practitioners do something that’s logical, but has them not honouring the true value of the work they do.

This #1 mistake is:

Setting their fee according to what other Holistic Practitioners Charge

So again, this is logical but this idea is very faulty.  It’s missing a MAJOR key to pricing in a way that honours the gifts you have to give…

#1 Key to Setting Your Fees: Your Fees Are Not About YOU!

Most Holistic Practitioners don’t charge near enough because they make the mistake of are charging based on what they think THEY are worth.

Connecting your fees with your value leads to big trouble!

When you do this, you’re making a wide open invitation for ego to jump in and wreak havoc.  If you charge too much, you will at one moment be feeling over-confident (as the ego loves being better than everyone else) then when you do sign on a client at this higher rate, your energy will tank as you can’t keep up that over-confidence because it was not the truth of your being.

And with this fluctuating belief in your value comes a direct impact on your sales.  When you can’t sustain a higher energy around the value of what you offer, you will not be able to sustain the energy and motivation needed to fuel the actions to share this work with the world. 

And everybody loses!

The truth is, your fees have little to do with your own worth anyway so you’re better off just bypassing the whole problem.

I have high end programs and they are a significant investment.  But I don’t see that investment as a reflection of my value… I see things a bit differently.

Challenge yourself to see the value as I do:

The investment for your program is a reflection of the value of the transformation that will occur in the lives of your clients when going through my program

That’s the key!  If you can get your mind around this and create powerful programs that create a real, tangible impact in your client’s lives, issues with pricing will start to disappear.

When you finally OWN that the value of the impact your programs have in the lives of your clients is HUGE, you can finally step into charging what it’s really worth.  And when you honour the value of this transformation, you can finally open the door to making the money you are meant to make.

And that is a real blessing because there are people out there right now who need exactly what it is that you have.

As a Holistic Practitioner/healer, someone who is here to help create a powerful transformation in the planet and in the lives of those you are meant to help, there are very unique and specific challenges to your journey.  One of these is feeling uncomfortable putting yourself out there.  In this article, I share 3 mindset shifts to help you feel a bit safer putting yourself and your work out to the world.

There are many deeper underlying dynamics at the root of this issue but the good news is there are simple mindset shifts that can help steer you in the right direction even if the underlying dynamics haven’t shifted yet

Here are the 3 mindset shifts to help you come out of hiding with your work:

Mindset Shift #1: You’re Only Meant to Help Those Who Resonate with You

One of the biggest underlying fears around putting yourself out there has to do with the fear of someone “out there” not liking you and rejecting you.  The truth is, there will always be people out there who don’t like you, who maybe even think you’re crazy!  But guess what? It doesn’t matter!

The people you are meant to work with will love you, they are on the same page as you, they resonate with your most authentic message. So don’t hold it back!

I am amazed every day at the incredible people I get to work with, had I shrunk down and stayed in hiding, there’s no way they would have found me.  Open to the idea that your people ARE out there, they resonate with you and those who don’t resonate don’t even matter.

Mindset Shift #2: Speak Directly to Your Ideal Client

To help further Mindset Shift #1, it is very important that you speak DIRECTLY to your ideal client.  Speak directly to their pain, their challenges using their language and as if you were talking to one individual, directly to them.

When you’re used to hiding out you’re not used to the energy of connection which is one of the most important energies in your business.  To start establishing this energy of connection, for everything you write for your business, imagine you were writing directly to your most ideal client.  Directly to her.  And be yourself, just as if she was right there in front of you.

This way, if there are those out there who don’t resonate with you at least they will know it and can jump out of your community.  If you’re busy trying to please everyone and be all things to all people you won’t get to help anyone because no one will CONNECT with you.

Mindset Shift #3: You Have a Very Specific Purpose

You must drop the idea of being the person who can help anyone if you are to help all of the people you are meant to help.

The truth is, I could help people with lots of things, I have a lot of knowledge about math for example but for me to help people with math would be a big waste.  Because although I CAN help people with a lot of things, I have a very specific purpose.  It is the same in your business.

When you drop all that you aren’t passionate about, or are even just lukewarm about in your business and focus on what gets you the most excited, you are in tune with your passion.  When you’re doing the work you’re most passionate about you are living your purpose.  Isn’t that great?

Why do I share this with you?  Your job isn’t to put yourself out there to the entire world, your job is to put yourself out there to those you are MEANT to help.  To those who need exactly what you have and exactly who you are. Have this picture in your mind replace the one you may be used to where the world “out there” is a scary place where there’s all sorts of people out there who may not like you.

Take the risk, put yourself out there so YOUR people can find you.  Be willing to do what it takes to be visible to them. And if you ever feel like hiding again, come back to these 3 Mindset Shifts to help you refocus and continue to put yourself out there.

You feel the pressure of trying to get your business going, trying to do all you can to support yourself from it.  So why is it that with all of this pressure and desire to succeed you back down when it really counts? Getting distracted by anything that comes along or being overwhelmed by even the simplest next step?  There is a deeper purpose to this distraction and overwhelm and until you see it, it could be creating an invisible ceiling on your success.

When distraction and overwhelm are showing up in your business, it typically means one thing…

Resisting your next level of success.  Your way of keeping yourself exactly where you are.

What?!  Why would you want to do that?

As ridiculous as it sounds, most people fear success.  We would rather stay where we are comfortable even if it means not making enough money from your business, not being able to leave your old job behind and living in struggle.

On the surface it may appear as though you want success.  You talk about it, work towards it, learn about it, take action but if you are finding yourself distracted and overwhelmed this indicates you may be avoiding your next level of success.

The path of moving from your career you chose out of fear, just for the money or to be “acceptable” to doing what you love, the work you are born to do is a major vibration and consciousness shift within.  On this path you are moving from the known into new unknown territory.  And if you want to accelerate your path then you will want to use distraction and overwhelm as the gifts that they are.

Here are two ways to do just that:

1. Recognize That Distraction and Overwhelm Are Signs You’re Approaching New Territory

Distraction and overwhelm are two powerful ways you keep yourself from the unknown, but they can also be used to show you when you are resisting the new.  When you catch yourself in distraction or overwhelm, it’s time to look deeper so you can make a new choice.

The fact that you find yourself in distraction and overwhelm, stop and ask yourself what the “new territory” is that you could be moving into.  Getting your work out in a new way?  Getting your work out to new people?  Doing something you have never done before?

When you are conscious of what you are really resisting, you can make a conscious choice to continue the way you have been, or to boldly step into this new territory where new realities and new successes can exist.

2.  Make a Conscious Choice to Step Into that New Reality

Fear only works in the dark.  Once you shed the light of your awareness on something you are avoiding because of fear the energy shifts and you will likely not feel the same about it.  From this new place of awareness you are in a more powerful position and you can CHOOSE to step into the new reality you are being called into.

Once you’ve caught yourself in distraction and overwhelm and uncovered some of what the new territory is that you are avoiding moving into your next step is to make a conscious choice to step into that reality by taking action.

The action does not have to be monumental.  Ask yourself, “what would one simple step be that I could take to move FORWARD into this new reality?” and take it!

Could other energies be at work under the surface sabotaging your success in your business?

Do you often feel disappointed with the results you have created through your efforts in your business?  You start out envisioning great success then the reality doesn’t appear to be going in that same direction?  There is one costly mistake I have seen many spiritually conscious entrepreneurs make when this happens and it takes some shifts in thinking to get out of it.

As spiritually conscious entrepreneurs we tend to be great dreamers but we’re also pretty sensitive so when it feels like the reality is starting to appear as though it is not going to match what we envisioned we can just want to back off to avoid feeling disappointed.

It’s one thing to “fail” but it’s a whole other thing to believe, to trust, to expect the best and THEN to “fail”. It hurts a lot worse and that added sensitivity doesn’t help, so it appears easier to back off instead.

So while this is going on internally and it appears as though backing off when evidence seems to be the opposite of what you envision is “safe” it is a HUGE mistake…

I’ve seen repeatedly that it’s the belief that plays such a huge role in creating our results.  Fearless Faith is about trusting UNTIL the results show up.

I’ve seen 3 specific incidences in the past few months where the immediate evidence said what I was doing was not going to be successful.  But I didn’t let myself back down, I trusted the inspiration that got me going in the first place and I kept going.

And you know what happened?  These 3 times the initial evidence had nothing to do with the final results. The initial evidence said “it’s not going to happen, this is a failure” but the results?  Over $30,000 in sales that would not have happened had I backed down.

It’s SO costly to give up too soon!  Who knows how much you’re leaving behind by stopping too soon.

But what if no results show up?  Let’s say you trust, you keep going and you still fail, then what?

If you “fail” then you learn from the experience, it’s as simple as that.

You ask yourself “what can I learn from this experience?” or “is there something I need to learn, support I need to get so it’s more successful next time?”

Sure it takes you digging deep to find that brave self inside of you but I’ve found that this is necessary on this path.  This path of becoming a successful spiritual entrepreneur is not for those who choose to be small. Eventually you will have to take a risk, step up and put your whole self in.  And when you do you will really see things start to shift.

There are several energetic dynamics that can be at play to make this more difficult but you can still get started now.

Next time you find yourself wanting to back down when the results don’t appear to be as you expected I challenge you to be bold, to be brave, to continue to move forward, to trust whatever inspiration got it all started in the first place and to be willing to “fail” so you can learn.

It’s amazing how hard we are on ourselves.  Imagine a little kid trying to learn to ride a bike.  You can’t just expect yourself to be successful until you’ve mastered all of the skills involved with being successful just as the kid has to wobble, fall and get back on the bike.  It is only logical.

Let yourself trust, let yourself wobble, fall and get back on! Be ON the journey, show up fully and be willing to learn in whatever way it takes so you can succeed.

Could you be missing out on potentially thousands of dollars of in.come without even realizing?

Are you often disappointed with the number of signups into your programs or classes?  Do you think there could be something IN you that is sabotaging your success without you knowing?  So much of what is happening in your business as a spiritual entrepreneur is impacted by what is happening below the surface.  Let’s explore how you may be pushing away business from you.

As I watch my Platinum Clients begin to step into new territory by promoting the new clear and passionate expression into their work, I notice a few things that seem to happen that tell me something deeper is going on to sabotage them.  I quickly help to steer them out of it because I know what’s at stake, potentially thousands of dollars could be lost if they don’t get out of the sabotage they don’t even realize is happening.

Let’s see if you have any of the 3 signs that show you may be secretly pushing away potential clients and sales:

1. You watch the evidence to tell you if you are on track or not

This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a spiritual entrepreneur.  Your results ARE a reflection of your energy, consciousness and business skills BUT watching the results can be a mistake depending on how you do this.

I see a lot of people who start promoting something new, after putting it out there they begin to look at the evidence, the results.  Looking at the results is not a bad thing, it can spark a fire under you to find new ways to get your work out to more people if the first attempt wasn’t successful.  It becomes a problem when you look at the results after just putting it out there and interpret the lack of immediate results as a sign of failure or that you are not supposed to be doing what you were trying to do.

This is not being a creator, this is being passive and fearful.  As a spiritual entrepreneur it is your job to TRUST the inspiration you are given and to do all you can to bring it into expression and get it out to those who need it.

I’ve found your immediate results can sometimes test your faith and if you continue to believe and to keep putting your work out there you could potentially make thousands of dollars from something you got fearful about and backed off.  In the last 6 months, I know I would have probably lost out on over $30,000 in income had I got stopped by this tricky form of sabotage.

Keep going! Even if you do “fail” it is not really ever failure because what you learn from failing will help you the next time around.

2. You allow your energy to drop when it counts

I had a Platinum Client going through her first launch of her new brand new coaching program.  She did a mailout and had potential clients connecting with her.  During this week SO much came up within her and all around her to throw her off.  This is a form of sabotage disguised as emotional challenges, doubt, fear and everyday life getting in your way.  The challenge is to CONTINUE keeping your energy high, no matter what.

If your energy drops as you put the message out about a new program or product, this is a big sign you may be secretly sabotaging yourself.  Not keeping your energy up, your belief and expectations up could lead you to energetically not allowing the FULL success and results that were actually meant for you. Had she let her energy be knocked down she would have missed out on signing on her first high paying client.

3.  When some success really does start to happen you feel uncomfortable and energetically back down

This is a very common one and a big indicator there is deeper conflicting energies within you that don’t want you to succeed.  I’ve seen this repeatedly in my business when I had my highest sales months.  In the past, my highest sales months were often followed by my lowest, that’s a common way this sign shows up.

It all starts with you being excited and celebrating your success.  You then you begin to feel a slight discomfort and have no idea why and this is often followed by feeling totally disconnected from your passion, unable to get motivated and to even feel connected to your work.  This is SO damaging because it literally prevents you from keeping your energy up and from putting your work out there AND stops those who are meant to be helped by you from being able to get your help.

This is a very secretive dynamic because you often have no idea what’s happening.  Yet it could be the very thing that is preventing you from growing your business to your next level.  It all starts with awareness!  Bringing these signs into your consciousness allows you to be more aware so you can open to a new way next time.

I remember when I first started my business I would always hear about people saying you have to choose your target market and narrow your niche.  I had an hour call with a coach once to do this and it was one of the most draining, exhausting calls I’ve ever had.  It left me totally depleted and with a pretty bad headache.

If the thought of narrowing your niche and choosing your target market activates a bunch of resistance inside of you then I want to help you shift this because by not doing this you are missing out on so much more passion, connection and profits that you really are meant to experience.

I’ve learned since that call with that coach that these concepts are VERY important, but I’ve finally found out WHY and the deeper way to look at all of this that actually makes it exciting!

Getting clear and very specific about who my clients are here to work with and how they are meant to help them is one of the most exciting things we do in the Fearless Faith System.  The beauty of this is that when you uncover exactly what it is you’re here to do and who you’re meant to help, your belief in yourself goes way up because you’re not trying to be all of these things that you’re not.  You get to finally do your best work and be paid much more because it is so valuable.

Here are 3 shifts in perception I want to share with you in order to embrace the idea of narrowing your focus in your business:

1. You have a very specific purpose and it is to help very specific people

Your purpose isn’t to do your specific healing technique.  Your purpose is not to be a coach.

These are WAYS you help the people you are meant to help, they are not your purpose. For the longest time, I had my business centered around my Intuitive Healing Process and this was holding me back from fulfilling my clear, deeper purpose and making the impact I am here to make.

So if your purpose is not the thing you do, then what is it?

Your purpose is to help create a specific transformation in the lives of the clients who need what you have, who are in a specific pain you can help heal. It is something you’ve been trained your entire life for, something you are FULLY capable of doing to whatever degree you can, right now.

2.  Narrowing generates more passion!

Narrowing down what it is that you do is like choosing your favorite parts of your work, what you love to do the most.  And narrowing down who you are here to work with is like only working with your favorite people.

And just what happens to your business when you do this?

Your passion goes WAY up!  You’re doing your best work for people you just love, does it get any better than that? Not having this level of passion makes it so much harder to fuel the growth of your business, when you are clear on this, you’re finally tapped into a fuel source that won’t run out.

3.  When you narrow, you can go deep

I thought that if I got narrow, I’d be bored.  I like variety.  I get bored easily and don’t like to do the same thing over and over so this was a big concern for me.  But what I’ve found is now that I’ve narrowed my focus on what I do and who I do it for, I’ve had so much inspiration come through and I find I can talk for endless hours on just one topic (like say this topic)!

Because of this, I am an expert on what I teach and will only become more and more helpful to those I’m here to help as time goes on.  I’ve always been about depth and the gift of narrowing is that it opens up the depths in you, in the inspiration you receive and in the impact you can make in your client’s lives

Want help finding out WHO your people are and what your transformation is?

In the Freedom to Shine Program, you’ll not only find out exactly who you are here to work with and how you are meant to help them, (our next training call!) you’ll also free up the specific energy dynamics within you that are keeping you from stepping into your next income level.  We started a couple weeks ago, but it’s not too late!

One of the biggest stumbling blocks in business is narrowing down exactly what it is that you do.  Many people can struggle with this for years feeling way less confident than they could and charging way less than they should because they can’t get to clarity around this.

When you are not clear you often end up doing work that is not your purpose and working with people who are not your ideal client.  Both of these have a devastating effect on your confidence in yourself and belief in your value.

And doubting your value plays out in your business in so many ways.  You doubt your fees, feel an uncertain feeling in your stomach and to avoid feeling it you may stop putting your work out there and really sabotage yourself.

Not being clear about your message and what it is exactly that you do can also cause you to be connected to your passion and inspired one day and the next day waking up feeling zero motivation.

This is a painful place to be, I remember thinking I was clear about what it was that I do, but I really wasn’t.

If you have trouble explaining what you do to some random person you meet then you are not clear.

If people’s eyes glaze over when you tell them what you do, then you are not clear.  If the thought of going to a social gathering where you know someone will ask you what you do makes you dread it then you are not clear on what it is that you do.

Getting clear on what exactly it is that you do, so you can explain it to someone and they actually get it is a powerful thing.  It can accelerate you in your business like nothing else because you can finally see the true value of your work and you have a strong WHY driving you.

Here are a few shifts in perception to get you started clarifying what it is you do so you can finally move towards owning the value of your work:

1. What you do is not your healing technique, modality or training

People think their training, technique or label for themselves defines what it is they do.  This is the furthest thing from the truth.  Your clients aren’t people looking for someone to treat them in a certain way or using a certain technique.

Your clients right now are having some big challenges in their lives, challenges that are causing them pain, challenges they can’t solve on their own.  Challenges that you can help them move through because of who you are, what you know and your abilities.

They aren’t looking for a healer, they are in pain and are looking for relief from that specific pain in their lives.

2.  You are here to help people with a practical everyday challenge

Likely the reason why you can’t explain what you do is you don’t understand the practical everyday challenges that you are here to help people with.

A huge piece of my work is the Intuitive Healing Process I use, but that’s not what I do.

I help spiritually conscious entrepreneurs who are stuck in their business but have no idea why, making way less than they know they are meant to in spite of all they are learning and trying.  I help them get out of their own way, get to clarity around their passion, own their value so they can finally begin making real money doing what they love.

I know their pain because I’ve been there and I know the way out. This drives me in my business because I care about my clients, I love that I can help them get out of that pain that I was in a few years ago.

Thinking what I did was help people heal cost me.  When I got crystal clear on the challenge I am here to help my clients with I was able to double my business and it continues to grow at an accelerated rate.

3.  You are not here to work with everybody

Your purpose is clear.  You may not know what it is yet, you may have some clue but I can tell you that your purpose is to help specific people with specific challenges.

I don’t help just any entrepreneur.  I only help spiritually conscious entrepreneurs because I get them, I understand how they work, what gets them stuck and what they need to learn to get out of their own way because I am one of them.

Getting to clarity is one of the most profound things you can do to accelerate your business growth and your confidence.  Get started right now by setting your intention to get clear and asking for support in this.

Getting clarity around what it is exactly that you do is one of the steps I take all of my clients through.  If you would love to have clarity around your purpose, to KNOW the value of the work you do is truly priceless (that’s how you know you’ve nailed your purpose), you can do exactly that in the Freedom to Shine Program that starts right away.

But because I know spiritually conscious entrepreneurs I also know what energetically blocks them from being able to get this clarity and to even know what their gifts are and purpose is.  So we heal that first, right away so you can get clear and have unwavering faith in yourself and your business.

Time is running out, go here to apply now to find out if this program is right for you!

Are you struggling to get your business going?  Trying one thing after the other yet you’re still stuck?  There are a few things I have found allowed my business to open up in a whole new way resulting in major growth in my business at a few points in time when I needed it to grow.

I remember a few years back feeling so stuck in my business.  I felt like I was trying everything to grow it yet my bank balance had nothing to show for all of that effort I was putting in.  But it all turned around during a major turning point that I chose to step up to and create for myself.

Here are 3 tips I’ve found can save you years of struggle in your business:

Tip #1 Believe, Even when there’s No Evidence

There were two major turning points in my business where I decided I would create a major increase in sales.  Both were times when I was not making what I needed to and both times there had been no evidence that these major leaps in my business were possible.

I chose to believe.  I chose to trust that I was put in a not-so-nice looking position in my life because I was meant to take my business to a new place.  I chose to believe in my purpose, in my path, in the gifts I have to share with those I’m here to help.  I chose to have faith, which is what I believe set up an accelerated path ahead of me and brought me exactly what I needed to create the major growth in my business I was looking for. Which leads me to the Tip #2.

Tip #2 Get Help

The first major income increase in my business happened at the same time I chose to step up.  The same time I chose to have my business support me financially even though the reality in my business was nowhere near that.   Within a few short months, I WAS able to support myself.

How was I able to do this?  How was I able to propel myself forward so quickly?

I got help.

And not just any old help as I had been getting in the past.  I got help from a mentor who really got me, who’s message spoke directly to me, someone who was on the same path as me but was further ahead.

There are SO many programs and mentors I’m sure you’re exposed to.  Trying anything and everything out there won’t move you ahead, it will just leave you overwhelmed and struggling longer.  So just how can you know what’s right for you?

Tip #3 Your Guidance Shows You the Way

Once you decide you’re ready to step up in your business, expect to be guided to which support you need.  But it’s up to you to FEEL what is the right support for you.

Now sometimes you are called to make decisions and to step up in a way that does not seem logical.  If you want to save years off of your path you don’t want to follow the regular logic.  You want to be in tune with the Universe’s logic as it knows all of the shortcuts.

Whenever I make a decision to participate in a program or hire a mentor I get really quiet and check in with myself.  I want to feel that it’s right, to know from deep within me, even if my mind is trying to say no. Feeling right doesn’t mean it won’t freak you out to step up and say yes to it, in fact that’s a sign I look for to show me I’m going in the right direction – out of my comfort zone, into new territory.

Not only do I check in to feel if it’s the support I need right now, it has to make sense as my next step.  It has to match what you feel is missing in your business.  When I know it’s time to step up I start to become aware of what I believe I need help with in my business, what’s missing.  And countless times I’ve attracted exactly what that was. And this helped me to recognize it when it showed up, adding to my confidence in my decision to go ahead with it.

You don’t have to struggle for years, there are shortcuts and you find them by believing in the way (even though you can’t see it yet) and getting the right help to support you.
