If you're anything like me, you love to serve inspired by your purpose. You're passionate about helping people over come challenges and live a better life. You probably thrive on the feeling you get when someone says "Thank you! I couldn't have done this without you."
I get it. I'm the same way.
However, many entrepreneurs struggle with how to combine purpose with passion, and not feel guilty about it.
Although I've been an entrepreneur for 20 years, it was only in the last 7 years that I began to embrace what this picture says:
"I am a Holistic entrepreneur. My love, life, work and spirituality are not separate. I would only make one addition, my finances aren't separate either."
Many Holistic or purpose centered coaches/entrepreneurs experience what I call the "purpose vs. profit" conundrum.
A great deal of conflicted energy is expressed about earning a living and receiving compensation for the work they do. As if the work of helping people become more of who they really are should be valued at less than helping someone do their taxes.
We live in a society that has a system of compensation for services and we are well served when we stop creating resistance and accept the flow of the system. Because the work we do is no less honorable than the work of the accountant, the doctor or the street sweeper.
Over the past several years I have put in a significant amount of study and transformation around my financial mindset. Everything else was well integrated, but when it came to money I was still thinking like many of my purpose centered entrepreneur colleagues and designating it as a separate entity.
A sticky situation.
A touchy topic.
I didn't want anyone to think that I was "all about the money." However this kind of thinking was in conflict with what I know to be true, that all things come from the Creator/God and so I desired to come to terms with the "purpose vs. profit" struggle.
"My focus is on love and only love. Everything else will fall away as I place my focus in the only direction that really matters."
The Vision Board Expansion party was a huge hit! It was exactly what we needed to intentionally set our energy flowing in the right direction for 2015! Most of the women said they'd never been to a vision board party like the ones I host! We were all blessed by the presence of one another and the abundance of love flowing in the room!
Each guest received an inspirational gift bag with a pair of warm footsies, an Unapologeticlaly Bodacious tshirt, a set of inspirational reminder cards, a copy of my Amazon best selling co-author book, and my signature product - a Jar full of Joy&Truth.
After completing their vision board each guest wrote 3 notes to themselves to place inside their Jar Full of Joy&Truth for additional personal support throughout the year!
The other day my son said I was a big baller because I wanted to leave the waiter a 20% tip. He'd already left the waiter a 10% tip and I told him that wasn't enough and the new rate was 20%. He just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head and said "That's because you're the big baller." What I realized in that moment is "how you see yourself will always impacts your wealth consciousness."
Until my son called me a "baller," I never thought of myself in that way. What he meant by the term is I've acheived a certain level of proficiency at wealth and can do things he isn't yet capable of doing. In fact, most of my family sees me that way.
Then another incident happened that further drove home the point that how you see yourself will always imnpact your wealth consciousness.
It's really very simple. We're all magnets. What we give our thought focus to is what we attract back to us. Whatever I focus on intently is going to become my magnetic field or my "vibe." Like is drawn to like.
For example, if someone wants a great relationship but is always going around saying there are no good men around, she is most likely meeting lots of no good men, because that's what she's focusing her thoughts on. She's saying one thing, but holding a dominant thought about something else.
When we hold a dominant thought it moves into our subconscious and the feeling we have about that thought resonates out into the Universe and we inevitably get what we hold in our thoughts Our thoughts are a self fulfilling prophecy. Some use the phrase from the bible - ask, believe, receive. Others use Ask, allow, release and trust. You declare what you want and trust that God or the Universe is helping you to bring it into fruition. You are a co-creator with the Creator.
Our most necessary achievement is to get into alignment, into the flow, feel the mojo of being in alignment with what is true, that how God sees you is the truth. Recognizing that we are worthy, we are loved and we are called to be a conscious conduit of love towards ourselves and others. .
Sometimes people say but I'm a good person and bad people come to me and do negative things to me. Several things may be happening. 1.) you may be ignoring your intuition which has already informed you that this person is untrustworthy. 2.) you may have attracted the person because you need to strengthen your ability to discern and then make a decision. 3.) you have an inner belief that people come to victimize and you are attracting those situations.
Clarify - what do you want (not what you don't want) Identify - what's in your way and what tools can we use to shift you away from a relationship with those things that hinder you and replace them with tools that help you Execute - create a game plan to with manageable goals achieved over time
Be aware of the law of attractions' never changing principle, it's a mechanism. You attract what you focus your thoughts on the most. You must always monitor your feelings and expect things to work out to benefit you and others. You may need to shift your thinking to be in alignment with these kinds of thoughts, "My business and my life will be fine."
Remember, that at the end of the word attraction you find the word action. You begin with feelings and then mix that with supportive positive high vibration thoughts and then move to action. The highest feeling vibration is love. The lowest vibration is fear. And there's lots of feelings in between these two. You should assess where you are in terms of what are you resonating. What vibe are you sending towards yourself and others about how you feel about yourself as a business person and how you feel about your business. Are you resonating a vibration that says I am worthy, capable, competent, a rock star?
Do you know that your business stands in integrity? That you are creating and able to deliver high value to your target market? You cannot attract to you (your business), what you don't already own within your thoughts. You can't hold a low opinion or low vibration of fear based thinking and expect to have a high return of people loving what you do.
For me, with my extensive background in training actors, I teach the actor that it's impossible for the aaudience to experience anything different than what the actor first experiences. If you want your target market to receive high value high benefit from your products and services, first you have to conceive it, believe it and know that you can deliver it! It all begins with your thoughts!

I'm so glad you're considering joining me for my next teleclass series, The Science of Getting Rich.
If you've been:

~ Or, you've been curious about what the Law of Attraction is...
This is the right class for you!
I've been a student of the law of attraction for over 10 years and I really enjoy helping people understand how right thinking is the only thing that stands between whatever it is that we desire or want to achieve and attract in our life.
During our time together we'll cover topics like:
~ What Does Money Sound like to You? ~ Is Opportunity Monopolized? ~ The role of Gratitude ~ How Riches Come ~ Getting Into the Right Business ~ The Mindset of the Advancing Person & MORE!
This is my third time teaching this class, and in the past, it's been a very eye opening experience for the participants. You're going to make discoveries about what's blocking you from attracting more of what you really want in your life. (Not just Money, but lots of other things!)

Negativity sucks! Negative thoughts, Negative people, negative messages, negative images... negative, negative, negative, negative. See, even reading the word negative too much creates an energy of adversity. Phew! My belief is that negativity sucks so we all need to manage...
I've been an entrepreneur for quite a while, but I didn't eagerly and authentically enter the ranks. In the beginning, as my income increased, I thought I needed to have a place to write off things so I could save...
