Maybe you’ve been thinking that you’d love to have your own Spiritual or Heart-Centered business, but you have no idea if you would be able to make money, or maybe you own your own business, but you feel stuck because you’re not making enough money…so what tends to happen is that fear creeps in and you go back to your comfort zone and the security of what’s known.
And, even though, you don’t love having a J.O.B. and working for someone else, the tendency is to go back and do work that you don’t love, just to get a paycheck. You know you have SO much to offer, but you keep talking yourself out of the whole idea because you don’t see how it will be possible for you.
Well, I’m here to tell you that you CAN make money with your expertise. It is absolutely possible! If you’re an expert on a particular topic, if you can solve a problem and you can deliver results and transformation to someone - you can make money and build a business around it. If you think that what you have to offer won’t make you any money, I encourage you to just do some research, because I’m sure that somewhere, someone, is making money doing what you want to do.

And here’s the thing…the foundation of anything that we create in our lives is based on our mindset. It doesn’t matter how much knowledge you have, how many strategies you have in place, how many degrees or certifications you have - if you don’t have the right mindset, you’ll go back to your old patterns and behaviors and will doubt yourself, let fear take over, procrastinate, put things on the back burner, sabotage yourself, live “shoulding” yourself and maybe even listening to what others say you “should” do.
If you don’t shift your mindset, you’ll listen more to the stories and excuses that you tell yourself about how things will not work out for you, and these, are based on limiting beliefs and your own conditionings.
So how do you get out of this negative down spiral that will keep you stuck, unhappy and unfulfilled? Just follow these simple tips:
- Remember that feeling joyful and fulfilled are your birthrights – But it’s your responsibility to take action and claim those rights. You owe it to yourself and to your unique mission here on the planet. You owe it to the world, because there are some people out there that need your unique gifts and if it’s not you, who will serve them? You CAN change lives and make a difference!
- Connect with your “WHY” – reflect on why is it important for you to create or grow your business. Stay in touch with the initial excitement and enthusiasm. Successful people are always connected to the reasons that keep them moving forward, in spite of challenges. Their “Why” is always bigger than any fear or challenge.
- Get clarity on WHO you are here to serve – who are you going to support? Who will get the results and transformation that you have to offer? Who are you here to lead and inspire? As you take back your power, and live life on your own terms, you will become an inspiration to others.
- Get clear on WHAT you bring to the table – what do you do for your clients or potential clients? What is your own personal story? What has been your biggest struggle and how is that related to what you can potentially support your clients with?
- Decide WHEN you will take Inspired Action – This is your time! We only have NOW guaranteed. Life is all about choices, so make a choice and start today. You have a unique set of skills and gifts that are needed by your clients. You are here to serve others, you’re here to lead, you’re here to make a difference in the world and get paid for who you came here to be. Own your role as a Leader and take inspired action!
- Get support - It all starts with your Mindset. Finding a Mentor is one of the keys to bring your mindset to the highest level possible. Successful people know that they need support to overcome all the layers of limiting beliefs and fears that get triggered when you make the choice to step up in your life and play a bigger game. Looking for a Mentor will accelerate this process for you.
As long as you stay committed to your Mission you can’t fail, but it ALL starts with your Mindset. The difference between the people that succeed and the people that don’t is their drive, their motivation and their commitment to 2 things: one is their “Why” and the second one is working on themselves, to become the person they need to be to attract the level of success they envision.
So, I’m curious…How committed are you to your “Why? How committed are you to becoming the person that you need to be to succeed, to lead, to create a new movement, to impact the lives of others and create a ripple effect with your work? There is no business growth, without personal growth!
