The link to register for the three day workshop is in the show notes and I will see you there. In our world, traditional business has always been linked with the wounded masculine scarcity tactics, linear growth, upward trajectories, scheduling, planning, tracking, all of these things have been focused on action, and the masculine and the feminine has always been seen as less than in today's episode I'm talking about why I built business activation Academy the magic Business School which is drenched in the divine feminine, and of course the sacred masculine in order to bring it to life. I want to emphasize this because I see so much of business that is rooted in capitalistic industrialism patriarchal values, where people start to feel very wounded, overworked, exhausted and drained very, very soon into their business. Which is why I want to create a very sustainable, feminine flowy and effortless way of building a business that isn't always necessarily easy, but gives you the tools to heal, to process to grow and expand into your highest self as you are building a enormous, wildly successful business. Let's dive in.

Tiffany Cheung 04:22
Hey, magical soul Welcome back to the social reset Podcast. Today I really want to share with you my thoughts on why I believe manifestation and both the understanding of it and the active application of it while building a business is so important and is how I built my business. And I want to talk about some of the traditional ways of building a business through wounded masculine, overly wounded masculine tactics and structures right which is really what the masculine is and the floatiness of business and really creating a union with both of them. and how both feminine and masculine energies as well as the understanding of manifestation is so vital. And really how all of this intertwined in me channeling the birth of business activation Academy. So when I first started my business, it was a very all of it was very new to me, I wasn't following coaches for a long time. And then I started my business like, I didn't really know much about the coaching world at all. To be honest, I didn't follow any other coaches. For those of you who may have been following me for a while, or you've heard other podcast episodes on this, I actually started out as a content creator. So what I was, was an influencer working with brands, getting monetized for paid partnerships, which I don't really do anymore. Because I really want to focus on my coaching business, right. But that was the way that I would grow my audience. And it was very much like speaking to the masses, influencing mostly women were my audience. So still, you know, building up a really strong community of women, but with different intents and purposes. So when I became a coach, when I started my own business, I never started a business before I actually, you know, I didn't think it was something that was on my radar, I was constantly bombarded with, like, how am I going to get a good paying job? How am I going to make my way into corporate, all of those things, right. And it's not too uncommon, if you are a child of immigrants, right, you go to school, you're expected to get a good paying job, you know, while you're finishing up school, or quickly after. So that's kind of what my mind was, was on. And that was, you know, really what my reality looked like. And so, up until that point, I was exposed to the more masculine traditional way of doing business, and especially for my dad, who climbed the corporate ladder, and he's now very successful, he's made partner in his company, and he is very smart, very intelligent, I really look up to him. And, you know, through not necessarily fault of his own, he has had to, you know, step into more of the masculine and sometimes the wounded masculine, even though I feel like he has a lot of very, very strong understanding of feminine energy, and manifestation. But just through the way that I hear him talk about, you know, things like productivity, and, you know, just what we understand in society, in terms of our salary and our jobs being tied to our worth, especially for men that are really expected to be like that sole provider of the family, you know, like, I saw a lot of that in him where he would tie a lot of either his worth or identity into his work. And so, for me, a wanting to build a business that was, of course, my own, right, like, I am very different than, you know, my dad and like different role models that I've had, and I'm very eccentric, and, you know, I kind of do things my own way, like breaking the rules. And so I really want to talk on why I believe the feminine and manifestation have been left out of business building, and entrepreneurship for pretty much the entire time it's been alive, and how I truly believe that blending both masculine and feminine and using manifestation actively in your business is what creates a successful business, what I mean by that and how to actually apply that into your business right away. So I want to start by talking about why energetic energy and the feminine hand manifestation have not been taught together with a business building. Why has energetic alignment not been mentioned? So a lot of entrepreneurship, like I just mentioned, is rooted in industrialism and capitalism. So
Tiffany Cheung 09:12
when I talk about industrialism, it's particularly we're talking about assembly lines, we're talking about when cars were first being made, and we're trading labor, human labor for the amount of money that you would make based on how much you're producing per hour, right? Because there was no such thing as the internet. There's no such thing as you know, creating lifelong content or passive income or anything like that, when we were just within that industrial revolution and time. That is how money was created. So More time equals more money, and then more money would allow you to have more things more higher status. It's just been attributed to a more powerful Positive, you know, version of who you are, were like people who are seen as having money were seen as people that you can trust and are good. And people who are don't have that much money. Like there's something they did wrong, right. That's typically how our society has approached it. Even though there are so many systemic issues with this, like the, like the situation where black people were not able to rent and own property, or not able to essentially own their own things. And so I could really go on and on about this, you can do your own research, and really dive into more of the history of this, if you want to learn more. But that's what I mean by industrialism. And then capitalism is that greed for wealth and fast, you know, turn over effective, like things like fast fashion, right, getting things out the door, quickly. Tons and tons and tons of money and more like capitalistic holidays, where you're literally just buying things for the sake of buying things. And a lot of that is, you know, white capitalism. And a lot of it's that focus on gain and action, power, wealth, all of those things together. And so this is why we see, you know, corporate marketing and widespread marketing. So when you're thinking about capitalism, you're not thinking about something like a coaching business, you're thinking about things products, like Coca Cola, and how at the end of the month, at the end of the year, right, they are gathering data within just numbers versus connection and intimacy and, you know, creating a bond within client and coach, etc. Another reason why energetic alignment has not been taught with business building is we live in a what I like to call a microwave society talked about this a lot in terms of microwave versus slow cooker, we want results, and we want them instantaneously. So in a world where we can have food, and sex and you know, a ride delivered to us within minutes. There is this need for things to happen faster, where the microwave itself is not even fast enough, right, we want results, and we want them instantaneously. We want to know the ROI. We want to know all of these things very cut and dry, and alignment, embodiment and cycles within business, it takes time, it takes patience, it can't be taught with a strict mold, or some type of cookie cutter approach that is just going to turn out results for you instantaneously. It doesn't work like that, especially if you are connecting, co creating and birthing creation with the spirit of your business. The spirit of your business is not an ATM machine that you feed and then results come out right away when you just press a button. It just It doesn't work like that. And when you do operate in that state, it's called the very wounded toxic hustle, where you're forcing your business to churn out results in either an unethical or very problematic, or even just a wet in a way that you're overworking and driving yourself into the ground, which is not healthy for anybody. This is when desperation, lack and scarcity tactics start coming into play, you start using words like agitating pain points, and making people feel guilty and shameful for who they are and serving up your product
Tiffany Cheung 13:45
as the only way that's going to fix and rescue them. Right is a very different approach and energy, then there is no hierarchy with your coach your clients that you give them the power, you speak to their highest self, and they make a decision where they are a 10 out of 10 Fuck yes client or they're excited to work with you and excited to pay you. That is a much different energetic chord that's being created because you create chords with everybody that you meet in your lifetime, especially with somebody that you work with as closely like clients. When you create a chord, a bond that is rooted in codependency and manipulation tactics, it starts to drain you. That's just one chord. Imagine if you're working with 20 clients, that's 20 cords of people that are dependent on you that you feel like you need to respond to at all hours of the day that you can't take a break from. It's never enough because you've set it up in a way where there is a hierarchy where you are higher or you're more in power or whatever it is that you're thinking that you need to save and rescue them. So then it creates and attracts the frequency and the energy of all of these people. Who are then in desperation, and are expecting you to save them. Versus when you come from a place where there's no hierarchy and you attract your highest clients. They're responsible for their transformation. They're the ones that are committed. They're the ones who are resourceful. If you don't offer in between support between calls, their self coaching themselves, they're figuring out the answers. And they're going after their own revolution, their own, glow up, right. It's very, very different.
Tiffany Cheung 15:30
And I also want to talk about colonialism. So there was a time here's some years and years ago, when sacred indigenous communities were called barbaric for simply loving the Earth using holistic practices to live literally living off of the earth. And loving one another, the medicine woman was revered, and witches were wise healers, right, they might not call themselves witches, they might call themselves different types of names, or not anything at all. But what we see now as what we've turned the witch into, thanks to, you know, traditional Christianity and the patriarchy, we've been taught to fear, witches, and even that word itself. And because of the patriarchy, women are deemed as inferior and soon arrived, the world of high performing productivity based data driven, quote, unquote, professional business that was made by men for men, with men in power and women and the feminine seen as less than things like manifestation and waiting and honoring cycles, anything that isn't that upward trajectory of linear growth, that's like, the next month needs to be better than the month before. And the month after that needs to be better than that month, right? Like, it's this expectation for your business to perform like a racehorse on steroids is extremely unhealthy. And it creates a very unhealthy bond where it is just never ever enough. Because you are not creating those emotions and being tuned in and tapped in listening to your intuition, and channeling your ideas and your content and your next steps, you are just forcing things to happen in a way that maybe they're not meant to happen. And so when when the feminine is brought up, connecting to your intuition, meditation, prayer, really sitting and soaking that up for a lot of the time for most of society that's seen as less than and being connected to your emotions is still seen as less than like, we have seen through the past couple of elections, that as a society, we have decided that women just don't make good leaders. Right, we've never had a woman president now thankfully, we have a woman vice president, but look at just how little women there are in these positions of power. I I've seen more but it's still not enough for way too long men have been the only ones in power and in these positions, where decisions are made and women and their them looking to collaboration and being in touch with their emotions. And having these natural cycles have been seen as less than another reason why energetic alignment has not been taught within business is we're taught to trust facts and not feelings. And so from a young age, we are here trying to look for evidence, look for data, look for things that are logical, right? Look for things that are supposed to make sense. And so when it comes to manifestation and including that within business, it it's not something that you can guarantee it's not something that you can even expect how the outcome is going to look because let's let's look at this for example, like you want to, let's say you want to manifest a $10,000 month, okay? And you think it can only come from one source of outcome because that's maybe the main way that you make money maybe that's your day job. And that is where you get your primary source of income from is from paychecks from your day job right? When you open up yourself and release the how and you're just like you know what, I am going to open myself up to $10,000 Maybe some of it does come from your paycheck because you know that that's something that might be coming but even that is not guaranteed a lot of people think oh my safe and steady place is with my day job but that is not guaranteed like you could be let go in a week your company something can happen to the company and it could be let go right like this is not to induce fear in anybody. Like the last thing that I want to create, but I want to talk realistically where I actually feel like my business and creating my own business and manifesting my own results is more secure than betting my entire life on a day job where I really don't know like the turnover can be so quick like employees Literally pass away. And before they even have a funeral, the company is putting a job description up on Indeed, right, we see this happen all of the time, which is why I'm really, really passionate, obviously, about people creating their own financial independence. And being able to not only that, but create those feelings of security, even before the money is there in order to call it in, in even greater amounts. So, using that example of a $10,000 month, right, some of the money may come from this paycheck. But when you're open, you're opening yourself up and you are becoming a free, you're becoming an energetic match. For the $10,000, you might get a check in the mail, right? It might be from a relative, or maybe it can, it came from,
Tiffany Cheung 20:53
I don't know, like maybe there was a settlement or something with a previous job where you ended up getting paid out for some reason, or it's like a commission check from something that you did, or maybe someone was gifting you this money, and it was the exact money that you're manifesting. Or there's just so like, the example I want to give is that there are so many ways that you can attract money, and that you can show up and be an energetic match for money. That doesn't just come in one way. Right? Sometimes we think that our perfect dream romantic partner looks a certain way and acts a certain way. And they definitely might, but there can be some things that you haven't thought of that the universe is like, Oh, this is gonna be an incredible match for you that you haven't even thought of yet. And when you meet that person, and you bond in, in real life, you're like, Wow, this isn't the person I would necessarily go for. But I feel this undeniable attraction and chemistry with them. Right. So sometimes when you release the how, and maybe it's like where you met, right, you think you're gonna meet someone at a bar, or at your office, or in a, like a singles meetup or at the beach or in the grocery aisle, but it happens in the most random way of like a blind date, or like a mutual friend, or, you know, whatever it is, there's just limitless possibilities. And so I just want to remind you that there are so many ways that when you release the how, so many ways that the universe can provide for exactly what you need. And this is exactly the type of thing that I teach my students inside business activation Academy is that sometimes we get really, really stuck on, okay, I'm only able to make, you know, I'm only able to attract clients in this one way, if I show up this one way and use this one platform. And what I want them to think about is thinking outside the box in a much grander scale of like, you have no idea who is mentioning your name and consuming your content, but not liking or messaging or letting you know, and, and they can be telling a friend or family member, someone that really needs your services. And this person that you didn't think that you knew, but is in one of the circles of someone that does know you can book a call with you literally the next day, and pay your $1,000 one on one coaching package feed. And things like that happen all the time. And it's how I manifested my business to six figures. Within the first eight months of my business. When I started in April of 2020. I had no idea how I was going to make six figures, I had no idea what even services I was going to offer. I just started with one on one coaching. And I really let that take its course. And the clients that ended up finding me some of them I had never spoken to before I had no idea who they were. Some of them had been following me for months. And some of them had found me a couple of days before and then booked a discovery call with me and was like, wow, I don't even remember how I found you. But we're just such an energetic match. So when you're open to those types of opportunities, rather than being really focused on the data, and the linear projections, and all of these things that are so expectance within traditional business building, I'm not saying throw out all of that out the door. That's definitely not what I'm saying the feminine needs the masculine, right, the flow needs, the structure, and the intuition, and the downloads of ideas need the movement and the action in order to bring it to life. So we need the masculine just not the wounded masculine of manipulation and scarcity and following these rules that we think we need to follow in business. And the reason that I built business activation Academy is because I wanted to create a powerful magical business school where all of my students are actively using manifestation in their business to manifest what it is that they're creating. Eating. And when I use the word manifest, this word has been thrown around so often that I think it's lost some of its meaning. So what it means to me personally, and the way that I approach it within business activation Academy with my students is manifestation is identifying the lifestyle and the goals that you want to have in your life, then understanding why, and then becoming an energetic match for it. When I say becoming an energetic match, I use that word because it makes the most sense to me. But it's not just fluffy language, it means releasing anything that does not align with the life you want to live, literally becoming a match for it is releasing and letting go of, and truly kind of pruning and priming yourself in order to receive this ultimate manifestation in your life. This to me also includes subconscious reprogramming, your subconscious mind was growing from the years of zero to seven years old. And since then a lot of the patterns within your life and the way that you make decisions come from your subconscious brain, your decisions, some of them are already made before they are within your frontal lobe. But I'm not a scientist or neurologist, I'm just what I know and what I've studied. So I might not get all of the exact terminology correct. But I have it all, of course, broken down within my course. I'm just recording this podcast on the fly cuz I'm channeling it. So I just want you to know that a lot of this subconscious information is what is running your life and your decisions and the things that you say yes to the things that you say no to based on what you are afraid of based on what you want to avoid, like getting out of your comfort zone, doing something that feels really scary, because your brain is like, no, no,
Tiffany Cheung 26:57
that's too much danger. That's too much risk. I'm working to get hurt. No, let's not do that. Right, we all experienced this because we're human and manifestation and my coaching is not eradicating that it's not really getting rid of that completely. It's training your brain in order to take some of those scary steps in order to create the life that you want. Because in reality, the life that you desire is obviously not the one that you have now, because it might have been at one point, but clearly, it's not because you are working towards something that you don't currently have. And so when you're doing that, you have to do new things, you have to take new actions, if you're taking the same actions over and over again, that is you just staying in the same place, right, nothing's gonna change. So in order to get closer to that dream life that you truly desire, whether that is buying your dream house on the beach, or meeting your dream partner falling in love getting married, starting your dream business, these are all things that you don't currently have. And so because of that, you have to take new actions, you have to do something different. And when that comes up, when it comes to investing in a coke course, or a coach, it's your brain is like, Oh my God, that's so much money. What's happening?
Tiffany Cheung 28:14
What am I doing? Right? It's very on alert, because it's something you've never done before. It doesn't mean that it's the wrong thing. And so that's what I'm talking about in terms of manifestation is subconscious reprogramming. And then what I also love to incorporate is your unique human design, and not just your human design, but just your unique wholeness as a human being right, the way that you may be neurodiverse, when everyone around you was very neurotypical, maybe you live with ADHD, maybe you are on the spectrum of autism, maybe you just think a completely different way than your friends and your family. You've always been the black sheep of the family. And you've always done things your own way. I want you to honor that in business, I want you to be proud of who you are, I want you to be proud that you were always you had your name on the chatterbox all the time in fifth grade because you couldn't stop talking and you kept squirming around in your chair because you were just so excited. You have so much life and energy, right? I want you to be proud of all of the things that make you who you are that our society has wanted to shove you into a box and make you feel like you need to be this one version of you. I want you to show up as all of the multifaceted versions of who you are all of the hats that you wear all of the ways that you show up and choose to be your authentic raw self. That's what I want you to bring into your business that I feel like is the true authenticity of alignment manifestation co creating with the spirit of your business and not being so focused on the perfect strategy. I definitely teach strategy Inside Business activation Academy because like Again, one of the universal laws is love action.
Nothing happens if there is an action. But there is a lot of that weight on the feminine energy of attracting and manifestation and creating that first and then following up with aligned action. That way your action is not over action or driving yourself into the ground are really, really, really long days where you're like, Oh, God, I'm exhausted or know what I'm doing. I don't feel connected to what I'm doing, right, we want to avoid that. And so we take aligned action instead, to get you closer to your dreams, and manifesting the life you want and being open to the possibilities and releasing the how, right the how how the universe is going to get you to your dream life, we don't know all the steps. And that's a beautiful thing. Because it allows you to run fun experiments, and to really process your emotions process, that inner healing, that rigid capitalism, and colonialism and the patriarchy doesn't leave room for allowing yourself to process your emotions, to really become the highest version of you your highest self is so important. And so that's what I think makes the most sustainable foundation for building business is once you have that down, you're able to process any emotion, you're able to love yourself.
At the end of the day, no matter what no matter what results you get, you don't make it mean anything about you, you are okay with making mistakes and trying and trying again and falling on your face and getting up and trying again, any successful entrepreneur will tell you that they've fallen on their face over and over and over and over again. And if they haven't, they're either lying, or they just haven't taken that many risks. And so likely, they're not as successful as they can be. But the most successful entrepreneurs have taken risks upon risks upon risks, and have fallen on their face over and over. And the most successful entrepreneurs are the ones that are okay with just making the most mistakes. And so you get to do that with business activation Academy is I create a space for you, where you trust yourself so deeply, you love yourself so deeply, you have such radical self compassion, that you are okay with taking bigger risks, because you know that whatever comes up for you is a win win. Either you get the result that you want, or an obstacle arises where you learn a lesson. And you utilize that to make yourself even stronger. It's like Pac Man, when pac man eats the little ghosts gotta haven't played this game and so long, it makes him more powerful, right? It's like, you grow and you become like this big Pac Man. And so for you, it's like, you're able to take that on, transform that energy and allow it to push you forward into a more powerful state. And I've created a safe space for my new entrepreneurs Inside Business activation Academy, to create that trial and error, where they have a coach like me, that connects them back to their intuition and their radical self love. So they can try again and try again. And when they do that, they create the most incredible results. They create the dream life that they want to live. And they're able to process the emotions and the healing and all of the responses that come up in between those moments, because it isn't an easy linear road. It is a bumpy, wavy road.
And when you're able to regulate your nervous system, and to utilize and understand manifestation and do that thought work that belief work and really holding on to the process, trusting and owning your magic every single step of the way. You are literally unstoppable. I teach my students to change their thoughts align their energies, rather than changing the circumstances. Right. Sometimes there are cases where you might want to change the circumstance. But for the most part, it's not super easy to change our circumstances. But we can change our thoughts and our behaviors and how we feel about it in order to create the life we want to live.
