5 Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make In Your Holistic Business
Holistic businesses are becoming increasing popular because people want to work in a business they feel completely passionate about. Being holistic is more than just a business practice; it is a philosophy, a way of life. It is important to keep focus on the principles behind your holistic practice; otherwise, it can hurt the very business you established to help others.
These mistakes are avoidable and that’s exactly why we encourage each of you to join us on this journey of exploring two of the five biggest mistakes a holistic business can make, while giving you more perspective and tips for making your business a success.
5 biggest mistakes healers, therapists and spiritual practitioners make that actually repel your vibrationally matched clients
Shiny Business
The 1st big mistake spiritual practitioners make is the lack of a system for their products, services or programs. Without a clear system of how your business works, clients often are left feeling confused and repelled about what your business can provide as a value to them. A clearly established system speaks to their rational mind. After your client feels at ease with you, what you offer and your fees, they feel safe to vibrationally connect with you as their trusted provider. You’ve engaged them mentally and emotionally.
- Dara came to me a while ago really concerned because she did not have enough clients coming to her. She was frustrated because she tried so many things like workshops where she’d have no one sign up or only have 2 or 3 people! This seems to be frequent with many of my new clients. We went over her marketing materials such as flyers and emails. I pointed out to her one huge factor. She was writing only about her methods (like I used to do) and very little about what they will gain from working with her. Clients want to know one primary thing: “What will I gain from working with you or using your products?”
Here is the 2nd big mistake I find happens when clients first come to us. It is easy to dive in to assisting them in what ails them, their problems and issues for example, before you have taken the time to really sit down and get to know who they are. If you don’t take time to develop rapport and find out about them, then you lack the personal connection that is needed for someone to work with you or buy your products. It is important to be your authentic-self and share the knowledge that you have established through your life journey in a calm, understanding, and guiding way. They can connect with you emotionally by you sharing your journey with them.
We want to invite YOU to sign up with US for our special presentation Training Call. This event will include the last 3 mistakes that healers, therapists and spiritual practitioners make and teach you tips on how to successfully avoid making these mistakes, too. We look forward to having you there.
The Gift of Loving
When I was younger, I kept waiting for someone to love me the way I wanted to be loved. Needless to say, I was often pretty miserable and unhappy.
Most of my life’s journey has been about finding love; the right partner to love me, to have my children love me, to feel loved by my parents. Actually, I wanted everyone to love me. I was always grateful for my sister who has always loved me, even though I was a bratty kid at times.
After many years of psychotherapy, healing work and shamanic work, I’ve come to a very different place about love.
Love is the core of who we really are in the very center of our Being. It is our nature, our essence. Our journey in life for many is about being willing to love in spite of the pain, the wounds, the heartbreak, the violations, the betrayals we’ve experienced. Yes, I’ve experienced all of those, just like many of you.
It is a choice to let down our walls and our barriers of so-called protections that make us feel more alone and isolated. There really are safe ways and places to go on that journey to Love with teachers and facilitators who can hold that heart space for us.
Healing and transforming those wounds so we can experience that feeling of love is miraculous to me. My journey has shown me that if we want love, we choose to love no matter what happens. That doesn’t mean allowing people to treat us badly. It means we choose to be around more positive, caring, nurturing, reciprocating people who want to be with us.
It means we focus on love, that sweetness, tenderness, the feeling of a baby in our arms smelling of baby powder, or nuzzling a puppy, or the beauty of majestic trees as they touch the sky at sunset. I sometimes feel like I’m looking at a God painting when I experience the beauty in nature. Waterfalls tumbling down rocks, the coolness of the water during a hike and enjoying the laughter of children playing, my grandson playing – this is God and love to me.
When we allow ourselves to open so deeply to Spirit and the Celestial realm, we hear the angels playing music inside us, the rhythms and sound of tenderness touching our soul to continue that awakening; that joyous opening in our Being, for which I am so deeply grateful
I hear in my head, “She walks in beauty and Grace.” And I feel compassion and grace inside me. I’m sitting here writing this after a very frustrating day of numerous things going wrong. And yet, I decided to do a healing group and start with one about love, since it’s almost Valentine’s Day. This is what emerged.
So I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes feeling how grateful I am for where I’m at now; the people in my life, my sister and her family, my daughters, my grandson, my son-in-law, my shaman, my coach, my friends, my assistant and intern, my virtual assistant team, and so many more who affect me.
Thank you for teaching me about the gift of loving no matter what occurs externally. The trials and tribulations of life are just practice to experience the gift of loving unconditionally no matter the circumstances.
Will you go on that journey of love with me? It’s really delightful and JOYOUS!
How to Attract More Business as a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur
“Entrepreneur,” it seems, has become a buzzword in recent years. From bloggers and website gurus to inventors and salespeople, everyone is jumping on the entrepreneurial bandwagon.
But, fast-forward just a few short years and there are staggering statistics on the many entrepreneurs that have failed. Did they not have enough passion? Was their work ethic not good enough? Should they have been smarter and safer? While the questions of why often go unanswered, the truth behind the mystery often lies within the heart of the entrepreneur.
The great news for you, though, is that there is a path to success that you have control over! As a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur, you get to decide how things work out! Whether you are thinking about making a change to your own business, have just begun down the entrepreneur path, or are a veteran who is wanting to see more success, you have come to the right place.
To begin, let’s talk a little about what a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur actually is. While many people associate it with a business that is spiritually oriented, this is not always the case. Generally speaking, a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur will have these characteristics:
- A feeling that they are “called” to their line of work
- A desire to serve customers and clients, instead of a drive to sell
- A connection with Source or Spirit that gives support and guidance
- A full circle approach to business, developing both the inner and outer aspects
- A commitment to personal growth and development
To put it a little differently, Heart-Centered Entrepreneurs aren’t just DOING something for their customers and clients, but they are BEING someone to them.
Now that you understand the basics of what it means to be a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur, the next step is to learn the steps to being successful, despite the economy or other external factors that are around you.
Heart-Centered Entrepreneurs don’t have to wait for a market to recover or a stock to stabilize, because they have the ability to create success from within, making today the perfect time to become a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur.
How can success simply be created from within, without relying on or considering the economy and other factors? It is because once you use the following steps, you won’t be trying to compete for clients or business, but you will begin attracting more income and business to yourself!
Here is How to Attract Business to YOU:
#1 ) Consciously partner with Spirit. This means take time to recognize that you are not alone in this endeavor, identify areas where you need assistance, strength, or ability, and then ask for help in those areas. Surrender any fears or doubts, and really look within your heart for your path.
#2 ) Create Win-Win experiences. This step is all about collaboration instead of competition. Focus on creating relationships with anyone you come into contact with that will give back to that person or business and be productive and positive for both parties. This is where a Heart-Centered Entrepreneur will greatly differ in approach, due to their strong desire to serve, not sell.
#3 ) Raise your energy vibration. Think about it like this, your energy is your business card and you have the potential to be a business and money magnet! What this means is that you become magnetic and people feel compelled to work with you because they sense your energy and KNOW that you can help them!
Success really does happen and you have the power within yourself to make your Heart-Centered Business flourish and shine! By actively partnering with Spirit and taking the time to follow these easy steps, you will begin to see the things you desire for your business actually seeking you out! So, get out there and create your dream business! You can do this!
