  • Creating a RHTHYM for Change & Momentum

    The 5th element of a business that feels IN FLOW is your quarterly rhythm. We can also call this your seasonal rhythm.

  • Why you need a Monthly Marketing Flow...

    So we’ve talked about the first key to an IN FLOW business over the last 3 days & that is RELATIONSHIPS.

    Creating empowered relationships with our Self, with Money, and with clients & potential clients.

    Now we’re onto our second KEY to an IN FLOW business - RHYTHM.

    Rhythm touches every part of life, from the moon cycle, to our heart beat. A consistent rhythm brings harmony & peace to our life. It enlivens us & helps us keep momentum.

    Adding the structure of Rhythm into our business slashes overwhelm & confusion because we have a pace for creation & review, for decision making & follow through.

    The first way we can bring rhythm into our business is with a Monthly Marketing Flow. With each month we can plan our marketing efforts, take action, and then review.

    Review is the piece that many people miss. Reviewing our action helps us to learn & optimize, so we know where we’re wasting energy & where we should be doubling down.

    To honor this lunar rhythm, today take stock of what has brought in the most results for you in the past - what direct actions & campaigns have you done that have brought in more clients, money & sales.

    Whether or not that’s “Industry Standard,” make a plan to simply do more of what’s working & cut out what’s not.

    I’ll see you tomorrow for our 5th element of an In Flow business - your quarterly rhythm.

  • Key to effective marketing: Focus on RELATIONSHIPS with other humans

    Today we’re onto the third element of an In Flow business. And that’s an empowered relationship with your clients and potential clients.

    In bro marketing world we’re led to believe that good marketing is creating funnels and using fake scarcity, but what I’ve seen time & time again is that my most successful clients focus on simply building relationships with other humans.

    Even at the million dollar level the simplest businesses that don’t have to rely on a ton of Facebook ads or a fleet of sales people or 20 different offers, a sustainable & easeful business is based on falling in love with your clients & potential clients & getting clear on how to serve them even better - quicker - easier.

    So you action today is to make sure that you’re clear on your best clients & then talk to them. Maybe that’s in directly reaching out, or holding them in your mind when you’re writing your next IG post.

    What do they need to hear today? What’s one thing that can help them get closer to their desired end result?

  • Why you need to fix your relationship with Money, STAT!

    Okay, we’re back for our next element of a Business that feels IN FLOW.

    And that is your Relationship with MONEY.

    The whoooooole point of running a business is to turn a profit. To make it rain. To bring in the dough.

    Otherwise, you could just be running a non-profit.

    And your relationship to money is a great thing to look at FIRST when you’re making your first $25K in business or you’re trying to hit whatever next level you’re working on - your first 10K month, $300K year, or 6-figure launch.

    Money is a taboo fucking subject. The collective teaches us that we definitely want to make lots and lots of money, but… it’s also a bad thing so don’t do it or else you’ll be a bad person.

    We learn the rules of money from childhood. From our parents. From our trauma.

    But a relationship with Money is 100% on you. As a powerful magical person you get to write the rules. So why not rig the game for your pleasure?

    So my invitation for today is to write your own rules:

    If you could do it all your way & all of your desires were valid and good and wanting them & receiving them made the world a better place…

    What would you want?

    How would you want money to be for you? How would you want your relationship with money to be?

    Safe? Thrilling? Empowering? Sexy? Secure? Playful?

    Journal this one out & tell me your desires.

    And tune in tomorrow for the third element of a Business that feels easeful & IN FLOW.

  • Your relationship with your SELF & your business success...

    Hi friend - so we’re doing something special these next few days - we’re talking about the 3 keys to a business that feels juicy, fulfilling, and in FLOW.

    If you tuned in yesterday then you heard the full run-down & know that our first key is RELATIONSHIPS.

    Specifically the relationship with our Self, our Money, and our Clients & Potential Clients.

    Today we’re digging into that very first one - our relationship with our Self.

    Okay, I’m sure you already realize that this is a big one.

    This includes our Genius, our mindset, how we talk to ourselves… and it also includes things like our Human Design & natal chart Astrology.

    When we form a relationship with ourselves then we tap into what we’re meant to do on the planet. When we follow our design then everything gets easier.

    Instead of pushing to achieve things that we’ve been conditioned to want, we shed what’s not true for us & we’re able to listen to 

    If you don’t base your business off of a strong relationship with your Self, then you’ll most likely want to scale super fast just to get out of actually being in your business. You’ll burn out, or close shop after a few years.

    So your invitation for today is to reflect on what parts of your business you really LOVE doing & you feel like you were designed to do.

    Really try to dig in here. If you haven’t done much deconditioning work then thoughts could come up like, “who am I to be a leader in this?” or “What would people think of me if I pivoted to this?” 

    And that is a good indicator that you’re onto your next level.

    Now I’d love to hear from you! Tell me how you’d rate your relationship with your Self from 1-10 & what your Genius is.

    See you tomorrow for your Relationship with MONEY!

  • The 9 Elements of an IN FLOW Business

    We’re gonna do something special in the next 9 days. We’re going to talk about FLOW.

    When I talk with magical people who are brand new or very established in their businesses, what they really, really, really want from their business is not 7-figures, or 10K IG followers (tho those are all welcome, thank you)

    What we all want is FLOW.

    You know the feeling. 

    Things feel effortless & fun. The synchronicities and miracles are just too in your face to not be in awe of your magic.

    Money comes easily. Referrals fall in your lap. Creative insights are popping off in your brain one after the next…

    Well, there is a recipe to flow.

    A business that is IN FLOW requires 3 main ingredients:

    Empowered Relationships

    Rhythm, and

    Externalized Energies

    There are 3 types of Empowered Relationships we need for an IN FLOW business:

    We need to create powerful relationships with our Self, our Money, and our Clients & Potential Clients

    If we don’t have these in place we feel ICKY in our business, our sales, and our marketing.

    For Rhythm, we need a Monthly Marketing Cycle to plan & review, a Seasonal Rhythm, and Daily Actions that keep our momentum.

    Without Rhythm we feel confused, overwhelmed, lost at sea.

    The Externalized Energies we set in our businesses allow our business to grow without our constant attention. This means your biz has its own Identity and Systems.

    It also means you plug into the Big Externalized Energies in the Beyond: (the Universe, God/dess, your ancestors, Magic…)

    All of these things work together to give you flow.

    And over the next 9 days we’ll be digging into each of these elements so you can start laying a foundation of flow.

    Tune in tomorrow for our first Empowered Relationship: the one with your SELF.

    This special series is brought to you by the Alchemical Business Intensive: the 6-month small-group program for magical business owners looking to grow their business with ease & the #realbusinessshit no one seems to be talking about.

    From now until midnight on July 21st if you apply & are accepted into the Alchemical Business Intensive then you get a bonus 1-1 strategy session with me!

  • Big Happy Money with Serena Hicks

    Serena Hicks is a business coach who works with intentionally inclusive coaches who are changing the world. She began her career at MTV News in New York City in 2000 went on to earn a Daytime Emmy award as the sponsored content producer at the Tyra Banks Show. In 2018, she left her corporate job to commit to her coaching business. Now, she's killing it and today she's on the show talking about Big Happy Money!


    How Serena uses business as a magical practice. (01:50)

    As a business owner, you can not only choose to tap into your magic, but you have to, because you are making something out of nothing. Misfit magic is a type of magic that Serena sees often from people who are helpers, healers, and in service to the world. It's those people who feel a little different, like they don't belong, who have something valuable to contribute to the world. 

    One thing Serena encourages people to do in her coaching is recognize the things that make them feel like a misfit, and follow that path to find their deepest magic. That’s what you are meant to do in the world. Discovering what type of magic is inherent in you is going to help you grow your business in a way that feels perfect.

    “Integrity is what allows businesses to boom and drive forward.” - Serena Hicks

     

    What Big Happy Money means & why it's such a powerful concept for business owners, especially when they are just starting out. (11:08)

    To Serena, Big Happy Money means she doesn’t just want to make money, and she doesn’t just want to get by. She wants a lot of money, and she wants to receive and spend money with integrity. With none of that icky feeling. A central component of this is the idea that what you put out into the world is what you get back. If you live in a scarcity mindset as a business owner, you attract people who don’t want to spend money to work with you.

    “Intentionally spend with love and not shame.” - Serena Hicks

     

    Serena's biggest transformation from when she first had to borrow money from her family to start her business, to the present day when she has way more than enough money. (29:00)

    Serena said the biggest difference in her business now from when she started came when she decided that instead of complaining and naval gazing, she was going to commit to the belief that she already had enough information and innate talent to help someone. Someone, somewhere, could be supported by the information and hard-won information she had. Her business could be about service. After that, she started to make offers online and the clients came rolling in.

    “I decided that instead of making it about me, I would start making it about helping at least one person and being of service in that way.” - Serena Hicks

  • Spatial Alchemy: How to get on the fast-track to your future life now with Olga Naiman

    Olga Naiman is the founder of Spatial Alchemy, which integrates interior design with the principles of human transformation. Spatial Alchemy calibrates your home to meet your emotional needs, up-leveling your game on all fronts.

    Olga is taking us through a magical practice to help you calibrate your home at the end of the episode, so make sure you stay on!

     

    How Olga combines interior design with magic through Spatial Alchemy. (01:20)

    Olga started working in the design & style world since the mid-90s. She started as a magazine assistant and worked her way up to editor. She also worked for House Beautiful magazine, West Elm, and Disney. She has a master’s degree in set design, and spent her life designing spaces. At the same time, she was studying feng shui, energetics, psychology, and doing ayahuasca ceremonies. As the years went on, she got more and more mystical as she progressed on her spiritual healing journey.

    For a long time, those were two separate parts of who she was. Eventually, she started bringing in energy work and healing into her work with her design clients. She started to see how the negative experiences in her life were actually manifesting in their homes, and by shifting their homes, energy in their lives would start moving, too.

     

    “Style is a tool to help you get to a place where you are aligned, where you are supported and nourished by your home.” - Olga

     

    How to design your home to bring in the energy you want in your life. (08:00)

    By changing your environment, you can catalyze the future you want. It’s like an online dating avatar -- you could be sleeping, but it’s still working out there. When you start shifting your home, you shift your frequency. Olga brings in a lot of psychology into her work, looking at your patterning and releasing what doesn’t serve you.

    If you want to find a partner, is your home set up for that? Or is your bed pushed against the wall, with no room for someone else? If you want to lose weight, does your kitchen reflect who you want to be in a year?

     

    “When our home upgrades, we upgrade.” - Olga

     

    How can magical business owners use Spatial Alchemy to manifest their goals? (14:00)

    Olga brings in numerology, chakras, and symbols into her work. Your desk should be facing the door, not facing the wall with your back to the door. Things should feel rich. What can you bring in that your future self would love?

    If you want to bring money into your life, you can start by putting a dollar and quartz into a plant and watering it. Whatever the sun hits grows, so putting this plant where the sun hits will grow more money. Have as big a desk as you can for your room.

     

    “As a magical business owner, you can make the symbols in your home work for you. Bring in rich colors or subject matter for success & money.” - Olga

     

    What should we be paying attention to in our lives when designing our space? (21:50)

    Look at the patterns manifesting in your home. Do you pile things up or buy things on clearance that don’t mean much to you? Do you hold onto things you don’t like? These are focal points to start on. You don’t need to re-do your entire house to call in fresh energy. All you have to do is create a corner or a table-top that you love. Just change 3 little spots to represent the life you want.

     

    “You want your home to balance you out. If you tend to be flighty and scattered, be very orderly in your home. Start working against your patterns.” - Olga

     

    Instructions for a Spatial Alchemy practice that you can bring into your space. (36:00)

    Sit back and think of your space. What do you want to experience in your life that you’re not currently experiencing?

    What patterns do you believe that are holding you back from experiencing that?

    How does that show up in patterns in your home?

    This is how you can see how your home is reflecting — or not reflecting — what you desire. Think deeply about what you want and what in your home is not amplifying that desire.

     

    “Go vintage. Things that are handmade with history are powerful.” - Olga

  • Creating a Business Action Plan that Aligns with the Seasons + A guided summer solstice meditation

    Today we’re talking about Creating a business action plan that aligns with the seasons. And make sure you stay on ‘til the end, because I’ll be leading you through a guided summer solstice meditation!

    Quarterly planning in your business is so fucking important.

    I don’t think it’s talked about enough in the online business space - or it’s talked about only in the higher level spaces that fewer entrepreneurs hang out in.

    While annual planning is fine - and it’s the most common planning since everyone is so rabid for change with a new year starting… we can’t realistically see beyond 1 quarter.

    It’s an easy rhythm to set up NOW. And it probably takes less time than you think.

    Go on, head to your Google Calendar & section off a full day near the solstices & equinoxes each year. A day for your quarterly planning, or as we’re talking about today - a day to create your business action plan that aligns with the upcoming season.

    This is something I’m making all the folks in the Alchemical Business Intensive set up, too. It’s a day for them to really step out of the day-to -day & embody the Visionary CEO. The one who is steering the ship & visioning the future. The one who sees 5 years, 10 years out, while staying grounded in the present of their biz so they can make the next level steps for the next phase of their business - whether that’s hitting $1 million in revenue in the next 18 months, or hiring their next team member, getting their first client at their dream pricing for the very first time, or just taking a fucking vacation because their systems are finally in place.

    So let’s get you on this train! Or on this unicorn? Onto your desired transportation unit of choice, for sure.

    Summer solstice is JUST around the corner - meaning, it’s on SUNDAY! This Sunday, June 20th.

    And while we COULD say that we’re heading into Q3 of the year… we’re not muggles so let’s acknowledge the very real & tangible fact that SUMMER starts on Sunday!

    The seasons are a beautiful way to section off the year so that our businesses are more aligned with nature.

    Whether or not you have an online business, the natural world affects your business.

    And that’s a GOOD THING!

    Because the natural world is a very abundant place. 

    When a tree is in season, when it is bearing fruit, there is more than you even fucking know what to do with. 

    There are more apples on there than you even WANT to eat. Or more than you could even COMFORTABLY eat.

     

    You have way way way more than enough. You have to share. You have to give them away or sell them. 

    Or even compost them so that they feed the worms and creatures and turn into fertile soil to grow even more future fruit from.

    And the more-than-enough comes from honoring each season. 

    It comes because you watered the tree & gave it the nutrients it needed when it first started to bloom in spring. Because you let it rest and gave it space in the winter. And now it’s summer & it’s overflowing with fruit.

    Honoring the truth that there’s a season for growth and blossoming, a season for ripening and shining, a season for harvesting and reflecting, a season for recuperation and quiet.

    We need it all.

    Our meat suit needs it. Our minds need it.

    We’ve covered the Seasons of your business before on the podcast - I’ll put the link in the show notes if you want to listen - it’s episode 18 from November 2020.

    But here’s a quick overview

    Spring is about seeds being planted and taking hold. There’s fresh energy & new ideas. 

    It’s all about TAKING ACTION and the flow of ideas outward. Deciding how you’re going to bring your creative projects from your heart & your mind out into the world.

    Summer is like a tree laden with fruit - things are slower & juicy. It’s a social time with late muggy nights. 

    You might find yourself wanting to take some time outside, spend time with family, go on vacation -- hopefully you have the systems in your business set up so you can actually do those things without being glued to a computer all day.

    Autumn is the harvest. Again, a time for action and reaping what you sowed. You’re reviewing and assessing and being vigilant. 

    This is a time for reflection & death. You’re thinking back on your projects & letting go of what didn’t serve you. Releasing any pent up resentment.

    Winter is about calm and peace. The natural world is asleep, so our inner world turns brighter. 

    We’re huddled around fires & we’re taking rest. Resting & recouping.

    Obviously we’re going into Summer as I’m recording this. But if you’re listening to this episode at another time of year, all of this still applies. There just may be some energetic shifts you’ll want to make based on what season you’re in.

    So. As we step into summer, you may already be feeling the HEAT.

    While the sunny days bring us outdoors, the midday heat also brings siesta.

    If you participated in Your Best Year Yet back in December, you heard Master Astrologer Donna Woodwell talk about this summer in particular being a time for being in a cave (lol).

    (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Your Best Year Yet was a free 5-day business alchemy experience where we dropped a new podcast every week. I’ll link to it in the show notes.)

    But have you been feeling this?? I know I have.

    All the planets in retrograde & the eclipses have many of us on an emotional rollercoaster, and wanting to be in quiet.

    This is our first summer living in Lahaina, which is the very dry and hot area of Maui & I’ve been forcing my husband Eddy to come home midday & actually rest, out of the sun & heat.

    He will easily work outside on his farm 12-18 hours a day which now, in the hot hot heat of summer, looks like headaches and exhaustion.

    Not okay.

    AND, a really good representation of the energy of summer!

    Because of the heat, he has to be more attentive to the plants - particularly watering them more.

    But still, he physically has to take a break midday…

    So for our summer planning, we have to balance the energies of tending our plants -- tending to our businesses & clients… while also giving ourselves the rest and play and relishing of our physical senses that are all a must for summer.

    So onto our business action planning aligned with the seasons!!

    Let’s first get you excited about doing this.

    Because you mayyyy be tempted to just… skip it. 

    There are things to do & every things running smoothly enough.

    Or you’re going full steam ahead for your next big goal and stopping to plan feels like a break in momentum.

    Or maybe you’re struggling!! And your brain is convincing you that staying in action and motion and overwhelm is definitely a better option than slowing down and addressing what the fuck is going on.

    Sources are in the show notes for all of these...

    • 70% of organizations that used a formal process to manage strategy out-performed their peers
