What did you last invest in that when you pushed “pay” or swiped that credit card, made you get butterflies? Maybe it was that new home or car. Perhaps it was a higher quality skin care or a fancy massage. It could have been that food delivery membership or subscription service.
When we invest money, we exchange energy. That’s all money really is - an exchange of energy. I was listening to a podcast recently that articulated this so well and I think it’s relevant for women investing in health coaching.
Let me chat with those women looking to lose weight. Up-leveling and investing in the services that will really get you results takes skin in the game - and you show up differently. You can pin ALL the Pinterest boards with “quick fat burning workouts”, google all the healthy recipes, piece together a plan - but until you really invest, you don’t show up fully. Investing may look like getting the membership with the trainer, hiring the coach (yep, shameless plug!). Isn’t that so true? When something is free and there is little to no accountability or investment - we show up differently.
When I was running Facebook accountability groups - those men and women who had paid for services and products showed up consistently. Those who had bought once but never bought again- rarely did. That exchange of money is SO powerful - and the pushing “pay” is just the beginning and first promise you’re making to yourself.
Energy exchange through money paid is pretty powerful, huh?
So my challenge to you this week is to finally up-level and push “pay” on something. Invest in the housekeeper instead of grumbling as you vacuum each week. Sign up for that continuing education class instead of watching free YouTube videos. Upgrade to the fancy haircut that includes the scalp and shoulder massage. Go to the personal development conference that’ll set your soul on fire. Hire the coach (yep, shameless plug, again!).
You’re so worth the up-level. You’re worth 1,000 times the money you’ll invest in leveling up in your life. Treat yo self to the tools to make your dreams happen. It’s time to push “pay”!
Email me back - what are you committing to push “pay” on this year? To invest in, to get nervous about but do the dang thing anyhow? I’d love to hear!
*New Age Tool of the Week: The Spirit Almanac book. Ya’ll - this book is SO COOL. I got it for myself from Amazon and love how it talks about living life seasonally. It goes over woo woo tools like tarot/oracle card decks, essential oils, crystals - and gives you seasonal rituals to try out. The topic of living seasonally is a good one and I definitely move my body and eat differently depending on the season.
How are you living seasonally?
*Up-Leveling My Mindset: Speaking of investments - yes, even a coach needs a coach. I recently invested in astrological career coaching with Natalie at SoulShine Astrology. I knew I wanted to change my business model and doing so aligned with the stars was right up my alley! Her 6-week package took me through so many amazing exercises that really helped me up-level my business.
*Upcoming Craft Your Life happenings: Direct sales changed my life. The tools and products I use not only helped me get healthier but supported a woman-owned small business, and you know I love that. If you're a side hustler with a passion for your business, mindset is key. I put together my top personal development podcasts, books and apps, just for you! Get the list >>
