Are You an Entrepreneur Who Wants to Build & Expand Your Business in a New Way?

When I was working in sales in the corporate world, I was very good at what I did.  I rose to the top of the company, and I was asked to train others in my skills as well.

But I wasn’t happy.  I felt like I was selling my soul for a paycheck!

I wanted something different…

If you’re a Spiritualpreneur like I am, you want more in your life.

You want health, balance, and a greater sense of collaboration and connection in your work.

The way to achieving this?  I discovered when I left my corporate career that it is all about using an Inner and Outer approach as an entrepreneur.

If you:

• Want to operate on a conscious level by bringing enduring transformation into the world
• Read books and watch movies that introduce you to spiritual universal principles
• Want to learn how to attract more of what you want
• Want to have more power within you and a vision of a business that fits you

You are ready to embark on an entrepreneur journey that will not only let you feel good about what you are doing with your business, but that will actually recession-proof your business as well!

Many of you want to apply these principles in your business, but don’t know how.

You feel that the old ways of doing things don’t support you.  The old ways of doing business and marketing by selling with hype and bullying people into taking action doesn’t feel good to you.

Maybe you even think that something is wrong with you since you feel that resistance! Read more

Are You in Entrepreneur Overwhelm?

For many entrepreneurs, adding new elements, learning new tools or simply needing to make some changes creates stress.

And stress can often tempt you to revert to old ways of coping or managing things.

If you are bumping into that right now or sometime in the future, it’s a good time to remember to invest some time in managing your energies.

If your business is not where you want it to be or you can’t seem to take the next step as an entrepreneur, you need to Read more

Do You Need a Process for Setting Up as an Entrepreneur?

If you’re starting out as an entrepreneur, I always suggest that you begin with an inner level energy management foundation to help you to pre-pave the energy for the actions that you will need to take in setting up your own business.

At the same time, if you don’t have any idea of what the outer level processes would be for your business, it can be a little bit daunting to try to manage your energy around it!

I believe that the Inner level and Outer level are equally important to every entrepreneur – in fact, seeing these things as equally important is what makes you a Spiritualpreneur!

But if you are a little nervous about what exactly to do for taking those next actions, keep in mind some of the following steps that will be very helpful to you as tried and true ways that you can go about setting up!

First, decide on Full Proprietorship vs. LLC.  Your decision is an individual one and may depend on your tax situation and current income levels.  Interview an accountant or a tax preparer to get more information.

This decision is important for you and for the IRS.  If you are going to be a sole proprietor, the accountant can tell you what you need to keep and how to keep it.

Set yourself up properly and stay in alignment with good records.

When you begin building your Business Team, consider Read more

What Value is it to You as an Entrepreneur to Use a Coaching Process in Your Sales?

If I am talking to someone about money and I have presented a specific formula that shows how they can make $100,000 per year, but they can’t see themselves investing $3,000 that even comes with a payment plan, they have a belief or a story they can’t let go of.

They are asking me to help them break through their limitations about money to allow more money in.

I would be doing them a disservice if I fail to try coaching them to a place of choice - to move beyond certain beliefs they have activated.

At least I can help them to see the choices before them.

They can choose to continue with the same story and getting the same results, OR they can choose a different story to live – a different belief to hold.

They have a choice to make a shift, and I can help them see the value of letting go of something that is not serving them to choose something different that may serve them in a whole new way.

This is what you do when you take the coach’s perspective as an entrepreneur – it’s a whole new way of looking at sales!

Instead of feeling afraid to coach people around issues concerning your product or services, begin to see this person how they want to be.

When you follow up with them after presenting your pitch, talk about Read more

What Do You Want to Experience This Year as an Entrepreneur?

I was recently listening to a newscaster talk about how she had lost 100 pounds in a year.

She was saying, “Well, I started out with just walking one block.  When I first started I was very winded, and I couldn’t even make it for the whole block!

But I made the decision that I was going to walk that one block every day.

Then, every day, I just tried to walk a couple more steps.  A block and a couple more steps…a block and a couple more steps…”

Pretty soon that block became 2 blocks.  Then it became 3 blocks. Then it became a mile.  Then it became 3 miles. Then she was training for her first marathon.

Baby step by baby step, she got to that point of losing 100 pounds!

The funny thing is, it’s those very small steps that are often what gets you into trouble in the first place!

Getting to point of having tangled energy as an entrepreneur doesn’t happen overnight!  Step by step, you allow things to build up until all of a sudden you’re in the middle of a pile of beliefs:

• That you can’t get any sales this year
• That no one is going to want your services
• That you just don’t have any value…

It doesn’t happen overnight.  It happens little by little – which is why you’ve got to start detangling it little by little.  It’s all about getting some energetic traction that will keep you from sliding into that pile of beliefs that aren’t serving you in the New Year.

When you’re trying to gain traction for yourself as an entrepreneur, it’s important to first Read more

Are You an Entrepreneur That is Ready to Face the New Year?

When it comes to celebrating and entering into the New Year, I’ve seen that there usually seem to be two camps of entrepreneurs.

There are those of you that are really excited about the New Year and all that it is going to bring.  You have direction, you have plans in place, you’re excited about taking action.

You are in alignment with what you want and you have a strong belief that your goals are really going to happen this year.

And then there’s that other camp.

If you’re in that camp, you probably have what I like to call the Holiday Hangover (even if you don’t drink!)

In the past, before I started doing this work, I always had the Holiday Hangover!

The Holiday Hangover is basically when you’ve given yourself permission to just like not think about anything during the holidays. You’ve got total permission, you’re taking your time off, and you’ve basically checked out from everything that has to do anything with work.

Don’t get me wrong – it’s important to have a break and to be able to rejuvenate yourself!  I take time off every year during the holidays to go visit my family in Michigan, and during that time I don’t do any work.

I feel like I really just got back into my office officially like, today.  I haven’t even gotten the change to change my voicemail yet – so according to the message I’m still on vacation!  It always takes a few days to get back into the swing of things.

But if you have that Holiday Hangover, it’s usually because you’re kind of just trying to keep the holidays going!  You can usually get away with pushing it a few weeks into January yet, but sometime around the middle of the month, you’re going to get over that Holiday Hangover.

You’re going to wake up from it, and then you’re going to get into fear.

You’ll get to the point of feeling, “OK – I really can’t be partying anymore – I can’t be holidaying anymore.  I can’t even say I’m sort of just getting my feet back under the desk anymore and getting back into the swing of things.  It’s starting to get to that make or break point.”

If you’re an entrepreneur with a Holiday Hangover, you may be at the point in the New Year where you don’t feel like you have a solid plan in place.  You may be buying into the whole economic bump and you may be unable to see how you’re going to be able to expand your business this year.

You may be at the point of just hoping your business doesn’t go under in the New Year!

If you’re feeling this way, Read more

Why Would People Want to Work With You in Your Own Business?

When people are not fully stepping into the place where they feel 100% confidence in what you are offering, you have an opportunity to assist them in activating something else.

I once taught this process to a saleswoman at a car dealership.

She would say to her ideal potential clients, “Here is what I want you to do.  Take the car and drive it for a couple of days and then bring it back.

“And I really want you to use a process that helps you get past all the intellectual stuff that you do when buying a car.  I want to help you get to that part of you that knows what you want in a car–everything, including the right kind of payment solution.

“And I am going to trust that the part of you that really knows is going to be fully engaged in this process.”

She had them write “a letter to your own intuition.”

She suggested that they write down all the reasons why they love this car and why they have the opportunity to drive it for a few days.  For example, I love how it handles and how it parks.

By doing this, she was teaching them how to fully activate all the positive aspects of owning it.

Then they wrote the letter to their own inner guidance after driving it.  And they asked for guidance about how to deal with all the issues, like money, money, and money.

Culturally, many people haven’t learned how to fully step into their own place of power. Instead, you tend to see things like other people have money and I don’t or I can’t have what I want, or money always interferes with me having things I want.

Time is another big issue, like, I don’t have time to take it to the dealership on the other side of town.

The most common issues that come to the surface for people when you are activating the gap in them are time, money and abilities.

It is important to address these issues when you are activating clients in your own business.

To help people really feel that you are serving them, you can give them something more so that they can have a real experience of you – a feeling of how it would be to work with you.

You might choose to give Read more

Is it Really Possible to “Have it All” in Your Own Business?

When people get into business or even think about starting their own business, what often ends up happening for them is they end up working harder than they ever did when they had a job.

Have you ever felt like that?

I see it all the time.

You have been taught that you really can have your own business and have balance and have plenty of money and all of those things, but you probably have the mindset that you have to work really, really hard for it and that it has to be difficult.

Has anyone ever taught you otherwise?

I have a business degree, and no one taught me in business school how to have a business.

I was taught how to be a good employee.

So when I talk about growing and expanding your business and lifestyle, I really think as an entrepreneur and especially as a Spiritualpreneur that it’s so important that your business and your lifestyle are in alignment. They need to be congruent.

I see lots of people who work a lot of hours; they never see their family.

Maybe they’re making a good income, but they don’t have any time to spend it. They don’t have any kind of real relationship with people or their relationships are suffering.

When I first started my business, I ended up always feeling like I should be at one place or another.

When I was with my family I felt guilty that I wasn’t working on my business, and when I was working on my business, I felt guilty that I wasn’t with my family.

That kind of energy is incongruous. It creates a lot of stress and disease, and it creates situations that people have where they actually end up going out of business.

A lot of the “going out of business” experiences aren’t about cash flow as much as they are about the person being burnt out.

The thing is, you can have a lifestyle the way that you want it with the hours that you want – something that you get to create in the way that you want to create it. Read more
