Shift Happens!
`
This post is particularly topic related to women but I know some of you spirit-rich men will relate to this as well.
`
I’ve spent the past two days helping to coach a room full of fabulous female entrepreneurs. Each one has her own special brand of transformational service. We spent a good portion of yesterday on the topic of money. WoW – You’ve heard the expression “Shift Happens”? Well the Shift definitely hit the fan for several of these women yesterday! It was electric!
`
This incredibly important subject often gets left out of so many business building programs and seminars because the presenters don’t know how to help their clients through the breakthroughs required in order to expand their ability to receive more money in their lives! All of the tips, techniques and tools necessary to build a successful business will not get you to a sustainable income if you don’t first become crystal clear about the beliefs and patterns that have been running your ability to receive and keep money in your life and business.
`
There are 3 whopping obstacles around creating money in your business that the majority of women soul-o-preneurs are not even aware of. The first one is so critical that without getting over, around or through this obstacle on a deep and permanent level, no amount of business savvy will take you to where you want to go!
`
#1 – They don’t believe they deserve it.
It has been ingrained in the collective psyche of women for millennia that money is the matter of men. Intellectually of course, we understand that it is no longer true. But it’s our underlying beliefs that dictate our actions and the circumstances we attract into our lives. These circumstances either block us from receiving or create events that over-come our in-come!
`
#2 – They don’t have a plan!
Too many women are brilliant at what they do yet have no plan to take their business to a sustainable level of income that will actually provide the lifestyle they crave. They have a definite desire to reach more people with their special product or service yet they rarely create a specific monetary goal with definitive benchmarks and action steps to manifest that goal.
`
#3 – They don’t implement.
Growing your own business requires growing yourself both professionally and spiritually. It requires a balance and integration of being equally comfortable with giving and receiving. Women are remarkable at supporting others, offering a hand, volunteering, lending a shoulder to cry on and bending over backwards to make sure others get what they need. However, we are notorious for not asking for the help we need for ourselves – especially with regards to moving our businesses forward.
If you are a soulful service provider with a talent for helping others heal, create order in their lives, express themselves, achieve physical, mental or emotional balance, harmony in their environment, loving relationships, systems for their business, self-esteem or any other life and soul enhancing product or service then you must find a way to get your message to the people who need and are seeking you!
`
If you are not ASKING you are not RECEIVING!
`
Every successful soul-o-preneur I know (including myself) has achieved a breakthrough in all of the above areas of their businesses through the accountability and mentorship of working with a coach that can help them recognize and move through their limiting beliefs about money and deservability, help them to create an exciting and achievable plan for their business and guide them through the implementation and execution of that plan with practical action steps, love and an occasional kick in the rear!
`
I had the privilege of witnessing a spectacular breakthrough yesterday during a spotlight coaching session with Kendall SummerHawk. Kendall is one of my mentors and happened to be a guest presenter at the Passionate Profit Inspired Income event here in Tucson with Helen Graves.
`
One courageous woman shared her frustration over the fact that she couldn’t invest in a coaching program to help her grow her business due to the fact that she had inherited her mother’s estate upon her death and was unable to pay the tax bill that came along with it. Not only is the estate now in foreclosure but her business has completely fallen off during this time period and her savings is completely wiped out! Pretty terrifying circumstances for anyone to be in.
`
Kendall invited her examine the fact that this might be a deep seated pattern in her life that became ingrained her during her childhood.
`
Although the woman couldn’t identify anything right away, Kendall asked her what monetary goal she would like to achieve this year. She said $80,000. But when asked what she would do with that money, everything she came up with had to do with giving it away and taking care of other people – including the IRS!
There was no mention of taking care of herself or her business. The exercise opened a floodgate of aha’s and a new awareness of where she needs to heal and replace some extremely detrimental beliefs and patterns around money in her life.
You deserve to RECEIVE!
`
This was a beautiful example of a deep seated belief that the money coming into her life is not for her. Of course, it is wonderful to have the freedom and finances to give and do for others, it’s in our nature. But when that belief excludes giving to ourselves because we believe it is selfish or even that we are not worthy, then the Universe has no choice but to deliver the circumstances in our lives that will substantiate the beliefs that we are resonating with.
`
This is TRUE, even if you are not consciously aware of it!!!
`
I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to get a new awareness around money in your life and business. Money is part of our spiritual path, just as the contribution we make through our work is part of our spiritual evolution. You cannot ignore it and expect to receive it at the same time.
`

Great post! I know everything in my world works much better when I make serving myself first a priority. Clients must see what you do in order to follow your example. Thanks Schelli!
