I shouldn’t be writing this. Wealth affirmations are such big business for my friends and colleagues and the people who hire me. And affirmations are stupid. Why? When you can’t get (or leave) a job, or pay your mortgage, or find a date... chanting to yourself, “I'm a millionaire," isn't going to solve your problems. Don’t get me wrong. I LIKE affirmations. I think they’re useful. I have a few in my book.
We all face occasions when we want to make a lasting impression. (I’m not talking a Tonya Harding kind of lasting impression.) Whether you are applying for a job, making new friends, building your client base, or looking for a date, you need to separate yourself from the crowd. How to be Unforgettable: 1) Establish relationship first. Listen, be curious, be genuinely caring. Focus on the other person instead of yourself. Who is this person? This is how you establish relationship. 2) Identify the needs of this other person. How can you serve this person?
A very interesting question came in, and I bet a number of you are feeling this way: “So, what if the situation with (personified) Money is reversed? I mean, equality would be nice, yes? What if I ask my “Money Honey” what he could do to please ME? I have spent my LIFE trying to please others, I am not interested in doing so anymore!”
Reader Question: “What if my Money Monster is personified in several real people? Can I forgive them and still get rid of the Money Monster?” My Response:
Five Steps to Being Unforgettable: 1) Establish relationship first. Listen, be curious, be genuinely caring. Focus on the other person instead of yourself. Who is this person? This is how you establish relationship. 2) Identify the needs of this other person. How can you serve this person? ...
There’s nothing more irresistible to what you want, especially in realms of romance and love, than feeling good about yourself. And nothing kills your sense of self worth faster than settling for what doesn’t make you happy.
Question: “How do I determine the value I provide my clients?” In a world where certain executives are paid hundreds of millions of dollars even when their banks fail, and other people aren’t paid a living wage for offering essential services… questions of “value” and “compensation” can look pretty confusing, right? What I love about this question is it the writer isn’t even asking how much to charge. He starts where he should… looking at the value he adds.
Reader Question: I have tried all kinds of affirmations, buying lotto being ripped off with quick fixes etc.. with no luck, No matter what I do, I still get no where and more into debt, I have started my money honey and yet to see results, what else do you suggest Morgana? My response: I really appreciate and respect the discouragement and panic I’m hearing in your question. Because we haven’t spoken, and I’m only going by what you wrote in this question… I’m seeing you talk about superficial solutions — affirmations, lotto tickets, “quick fixes” — that don’t grow you.
Strengthening your boundaries is one of the most powerful ways to transform your relationships and improve your life personally and professionally. This month we look at boundaries. Boundaries let us know the difference between our authentic selves and our social self that is based on pleasing ...
What happens when everything comes to fruition all at once? You know what I'm talking about: all those years of struggle suddenly pay off. All those things you dreamed of years ago (maybe you gave up on some of them?) are delivered to your doorstep on the same day. Your Universal Delivery Man says "You ordered it, you gotta sign for it!" Welcome to your edge! Your edge is the gap between who you've been and who you're becoming. It can feel like you're overheating and breaking down. Your game has gotten bigger.
I keep running across people who hear me try to describe Financial Alchemy, and they think I’m a Law of Attraction coach. Noooo! Unless, perhaps, you took your LOA to a Barry White concert. Financial Alchemy’s magic is activated differently. Here’s a cheat sheet of easy distinctions that stop people in their tracks: 1) While magical attraction happens all the time with Financial Alchemy, it’s NOT about what you attract. It’s not about what you can get from the universe. 2) Financial Alchemy is about romance. How good a love are you, baby?
"The greatest genius will never be worth much if he pretends to draw exclusively from his own resources."rn~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe I have a confession. I was a geek in grade school. I was that nerdy girl wearing the polyester "floods" from Pic’ Save. I kept my nose in books like "Jane Eyre" or "Lord of the Rings." Small talk baffled me. Then in the sixth grade, two popular girls adopted me. They took me to the mall and taught me how to dress, became my friends, and included me in their activities.
"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."rn~ Alan Cohen Would you like to create fast change? Here’s how: make room for what you want! When clients are stuck and not manifesting abundance and prosperity, I have them take a look at what they’re tolerating in their lives. What do they put up with that drains their energy?
Here’s the full question that arrived in my inbox: “I came from a background that doesn’t value the gifts that I have developed. How can I learn to value my spiritual, creative and emotional gifts enough to feel that they are worth being paid for? If I don’t value them and see them as marketable, who will?” Great question! Here’s what I say a thousand times to my clients: how you vote on your value from one minute to the next is not reliable or even useful. You don’t want to set your fees based on your mood or self esteem on a particular day.
"If I won't be myself, who will?" n~ Alfred Hitchcock Strengthening your boundaries is one of the most powerful ways to transform your relationships and improve your life personally and professionally. This month we look at boundaries. Boundaries let us know the difference between our ...
You don’t have to call yourself a magician, mystic, psychic, priestess or wiccan to be magical. Every wish, prayer, business plan, and affirmation carries magic. The question is, how do you get better at making things happen? How do you increase your experience of ease flow and synchronicity? My mother introduced me to my awareness of magic. No one casts a circle or leads a ritual like she can!
Want to be attractive to wealth and abundance? Stop acting like a pauper. You can afford to repel. When you stand in who you are without apology, you will REPEL people. You will scare them off! This is wonderful. The more you clear out the people who don't like or understand or appreciate you and your products, the EASIER it is for your fans to find you. If you aren't repelling anyone, you're not doing your job! You'll never please people who are not "your people," but you can divert your energy and your self respect by trying to make everybody your friend or customer. Cut them loose.
Everybody talks about the Law of Attraction. Attract Money. Manifest wealth. Blah blah blah blah blah. You can chant and vibrate all you like, but good luck becoming a money magnet when money finds you repulsive. Got too much cash? Here are five easy things you can do TODAY to repel money faster than you can say Fannie Mae and AIG: 1) LET PEOPLE OWE YOU MONEY Remember that $5,000 you lent to your cousin/sister/nephew/friend? Forget about it.
Your current financial situation is a direct reflection of your inner relationship with Money. If you don’t like your finances, something needs to change in your relationship. This is where Alchemy comes in.
"You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe."n~ Buckminster Fuller I've been finding myself in frequent conversations on the topic of life purpose, so it seems timely to address the subject here. Every one is looking for their purpose. Must have a purpose! A story I often hear from ...
Question: Is replacing my money monster with my money honey an ongoing process at first? I do the visualizations as you suggest and get a sense of the (personified) Money "Honey", but over time, the money monster creeps back in.
"GRATITUDE unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."rn~ Melody Beattie, Author Gratitude: what a topic for a challenging period! Our economy is shambles. Another two banks failed last week. I've never seen so many jobs lost.
Want to sell a meditatio CD? Here's what you need to know: First record it. This is the piece that trips people up the first. Recording it on a professional mic is best. You MUST lay down some background music to fill the empty spaces. If you don't have access to a sound studio,Have someone read your bio as an introduction, (but don't let it sound like reading), or get one of your fans to rave about you. Get fabulous design work for the disk and jewel case. People DO judge a product by its cover.
Here's the question that came in: How do you attract money when you really, really "need" it (as in, you could lose your home if it doesn't come quickly)....as opposed to just desiring more? My understanding is "need" represents "lack" and then you get more "lack"....but when the need is quite serious, what do you do? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say sometimes you really, really need money, and you NEED it quickly!
Congratulations on writing your first book! And you want to sell it. Here's what you need to do. 1) Write a book proposal. Seems counterintuitive, doesn't it? You already have a book why write a proposal? This is what agents and publishers want to see. A book proposal gives a summary, an outline of each chapter, and A MARKETING PLAN. It's up to you to sell books, not your publisher. Who's your market, how big is it, how are you going to get in front of them, etc.
This question came up on a coaches forum I like to contribute to, and I know this’ll apply to a lot of my readers… “How do I cope with no-show clients? A new client hasn’t shown up for two of the four sessions we contracted. Each time she follows up with really apologetic emails, begging me not to give up on her…,” the life coach asked. Here’s my response: Fire her. Or, to put it another way… Fire her. Keeping her as a client is not good life coaching.
If you REALLY want to blow the lid off your potential to create wealth, start by changing your relationship with Money. Turn your Money Monster of scarcity (doesn't let you be/do/have what you want) into your "Money Honey". Imagine money as a human being, and make your money someone worthy of your deepest, romantic admiration.
This was the most interesting questio I received for my “How to be a Money Magnet (and Client Magnet)” teleclass. 1) If it “isn’t working,” it (the alchemy) didn’t happen. You can follow the Financial Alchemy steps to becoming a Money Magnet--uncover your limiting beliefs, personify money as a monster, break up with the monster and create an ideal Money Honey, and nothing will change. Why? The relationship didn’t really change.
“I honor your Gods. I drink from your well. I bring an unprotected heart to our meeting place. I hold no cherished outcome. I will not negotiate by withholding. I am not subject to disappointment.” Druid vow of friendship Let this vow be your guide to networking. Meet. Respect. Connect. Release attachment to results. Networking is not selling. Think of what it’s like when a stranger comes up and sells at you and shoves you his business card. This is a relationship killer! Even at a “networking” party. Be the person who builds relationships.
You’ve already proven your intelligence, talent, and tenacity as a coach. You work hard, and you have so much to offer, so why isn’t your value reflected in your pocketbook? You could be repelling money with unconscious beliefs and behaviors. Your clients need you to prosper. Here are five quick tips to attract more money into your life: 1. Appreciate money! If even a penny shows up on the sidewalk, thank Money for the gift. Don’t worry about denomination; appreciate everything. Think of how good you feel when you are valued for even a small gesture.
“When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true” The Alchemist, by Paolo Coehlo I’ve been thinking a lot about synchronicity, about that intersection between saying “I want this” and seeing it show up. I see this happen over and over again with clients: checks and jobs and gifts appear hours after out session. This is Magic. Manifestation is what you create with your own hands.
Well, the End of the World came and went (Saturday, May 21 at 6pm local time, everywhere) with a fizzle. No floating bodies or open graves or big earthquakes. What a dud. Seriously. After all that fanfare I was sort of hoping for something… maybe a celestial voice or a partial eclipse or a talking cat. And that got me thinking: if I was disappointed, what about all those poor people who spent all their money, racked up credit card debts, and quit their jobs in the expectation that they wouldn’t be on earth after Saturday?
I have a habit of saying “yes” to adventures. Then I have to deal with what I got myself into… Last week I said yes to being a “jou alist” at a super-exclusive conference in Los Angeles, where I was invited to interview some of the most outrageously successful innovators on the planet–people on the forefront of technology, banking, social media–people who “hang out” with Mark Zuckerberg, Barak Obama and Bill Gates.
