Here's what you need to know about advertising: It's designed to take readers through a 4-step psychological buying process known as AIDA, which stands for: 1. Attention 2. Interest 3. Desire 4. Action As you can imagine, those are 4 very different experiences that usually happen over time. So expecting one ad to do all those things simply isn't reasonable.

3 Keys to Identifying Your Divine Right Client

The other day I was chatting with my new business co-creator, Sharon Desjarlais, about what she calls your "Divine Right Client." This concept of the Divine Right Clients (DRC) transcends the idea of a "niche," or "target market" by recognizing that you and your DRC aren't just a good business fit, but an energetic match made in heaven! From this perspective you can see that you have a karmic agreement with your Divine Right Client to bring them the exact message, healing, counseling or wisdom that they need at the perfect moment in their lives when they are ready to receive it.

Is A Sense of "Overwhelm" Fracturing Your Focus?

As a solo spiritual business owner, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all of the various and sundry tasks on your "to do" list (trust me, I speak from experience!). This feeling can be exacerbated by the energy of the Waxing or growing Moon (the period between the New Moon and the Full Moon, which is where we are right now). During this phase of the lunar cycle, responsibilities can pile up until they seem so pressing that it's difficult to move forward.

The Dalai Lama & The Art of Compassion In Action

Recently, I had the amazing opportunity to take my 16-year-old son, Tyler, to see His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama give a live speech at a local university. The very fact that we had the honor of being in the presence of someone who is such an embodiment of compassion was not only humbling, but also very inspiring… as you’ll see. The Dalai Lama, although a rock star by most spiritual standards, seems to be one of the most down to earth people on the planet.

Quick Shift Marketing Mindset Tip, Does M'oney Make You Less Spiritual?

In the interview Elizabeth and I were talking about some of the common business myths that can keep spiritual entrepreneurs stuck at frustrating low income levels. The first myth that Elizabeth wanted to dispel was the idea that if a person makes too much money they're no longer spiritual. I know it may sound silly, but a lot of talented spiritual practitioners really do hold this belief either consciously or unconsciously. The problem is, this is this kind of myth that can keep you from truly allowing your spiritual light to shine in the world as an instrument of growth and healing.
