I’m going to share something deeply personal in this episode, which is super short. This is part of my Money Master series.

When I launched Prosperous Coach in 2006, I was a new student of prosperity. At that time I called myself a spiritual coach and the basis of my work with other coaches was about the power of prosperity thinking combined with strategic actions.

I created a membership program with 22 weeks of study called The Coaches Power Path.

I stumbled upon a book that made a big impression on me called True Prosperity by Yehuda Berg. The concepts in the book are based on the Kabbalah – the word literally means receive.

His idea is that fear of success is inverted ego. And that fear is not a wall keeping you from what you want but rather fear arises to pinpoint what you need to focus on.

Fast forward many years … now I practice a few practices for my business that I believe help me focus on what I want and to detach from outcome. They reduce stress and worry while setting strong intentions.

Am I a master at these practices? No. I’m still a student of prosperity continually working on removing mental blocks about my own success. It’s good work that takes time.

I’m not a believer that it’s wise to sit on a cushion all day and think prosperity into existence. My idea is that I EARN fulfillment through both strategic actions and beliefs.

To assist the process I’ve devised a few rituals. Carl Jung said something like … rituals are how the conscious mind communicates with the unconscious mind.

So at the risk of you thinking I’m a kook, I’ll now share 4 things I do ritualistically:

1. When I receive a notification that someone has subscribed to my podcast, I greet the person in my mind and send wishes that they:

·      get great value from listening to my podcast

·      are inspired to share my podcast with other coaches

·      rate and review my podcast positively, and 

·      invest in my services IF we are an ideal fit.

I end by saying “For the highest good of all and the free will of all. 

2. When someone applies to work with me I pause to acknowledge their courage for reaching out. I read what they’ve shared and respond quickly and personally. I send energy with my response that they only enroll if we are an ideal fit. I’ve created a thoughtful list of what makes a client ideal for me.

3. When money arrives – whether in my bank account, a notice of fee payment in PayPal or an actual check – I pause and feel gratitude. I receive it.

4. When I pay bills – even if it’s a notice of an automatic payment – I feel grateful for the privilege of that service.

There are some days when I don’t feel like taking the time for these rituals. But I do them anyway. Because consistency is the power behind the practice.

I’ve noticed a stark difference between the periods of time when I’ve let the practices slip or done them habitually. There’s an overall decrease of stress and financial worry and a dramatic increase of ideal client and income flow.
 
 Now, what practice or set of rituals could you put in place that will help you manifest your coaching business success?
