Truck Driver Turned Spiritual Seller?

You may have already heard of Joe Nunziata – a good friend, colleague of mine, and fellow Spiritualpreneur.

A couple of days ago I had the privilege of interviewing Joe on my Blog Talk Radio Show, Empowering Spiritualpreneurs, where we discussed how Joe moved gradually from the position of New York truck driver, to entrepreneur, to the Spiritual Seller that he is today.

What Joe teaches is so much in alignment with what you are learning here in the Spiritualpreneur Challenge and the blog, and it is always exciting to see further evidence of the power of using these transformative principles to achieve amazing success in life and business.

One of the things Joe and I discussed was how important it is to attract clients and customers not only based on how much money they have or how big their business is, but on their personal traits. 

Joe emphasized this huge part of being a Spiritual Seller or a Spiritualpreneur is that you are always wanting to blend both sides of someone – they may have great business, but does their character match up as well? 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

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
