Have you heard of this acronym for M.O.N.E.Y.?

I want you to make money and lots of it!

Have you heard of this acronym for M.O.N.E.Y.? My own natural energy yield.  To translate… the vibration you carry around about money yields positive or negative cash flow. Are you in a high vibration when it comes to anything related to money? This comes from truth that everything is energy especially our thoughts and feelings.

So, when our thoughts and feelings around money are robust, abundant, grateful, trusting, faithful, joyful, respectful and more – we attract more opportunities to make money in our life. It shows up by the Universe rewarding us events, invitations, leads, referrals, and more and then taking an action on those.

But it’s when we are in a low vibration of fear, worry, guilt, maybe even shame, we wonder why abundance does not show up for us. I know many of you know this rich, spiritual aspect of money, but do you really practice it on a daily basis?  Do you catch yourself at any given moment when you are in a state of low money vibration and immediately shift it to a consciousness of trust, abundance, gratitude, and faith?

Here’s my point:

I can give you plenty of online and offline tools, strategies and systems to build a brilliantly BOLD brand that will strengthen your credibility, expertise and position you to attract the right audience and convert a percentage of them to quality clients. But, if your relationship with money is tainted, blurred, or cluttered – all the systems and strategies in the world will not bear a fruitful result.

Mindset and behavior around money comes first before the marketing systems can work well for you. I’ve seen this over and over in my own life and that of clients and mentors. We need the intention, feelings, and thoughts around money to have integrity and a clean channel to flow through you and your business.

I want you to have a fulfilled business life where you are rewarded often for your brilliance and money shows up through several streams of income; even those unexpected places.

My heart goes out to so many of you who think you can plug along working hard each day with these cool online marketing systems, social media channels writing clever Facebook status updates, and helpful blog posts – but you know you can be creating much more income than you are.

When you have the courage to elevate your relationship with money by looking at your behaviors and old outdated stories around money – that’s when you can claim a BOLD money goal and make good use of your online marketing systems.

3 tips to claiming a BOLD money goal:

      1. Clear the clutter on your desk, in your car, or in that spare bedroom that acts as a “catch all.”

      2. Reset your money speedometer by adding up your top 5 highest months for income last year and divide that by 5. That’s your current high average money speedometer reading. It represents your past and current money mindset.

      3. Now claim a higher NEW money speedometer amount by choosing a bold money goal based on an amount that feels thrilling, is believable yet just enough to be uncomfortable to get you to act on it. 

If any of this resonates with you  on any level – that little twinge in your stomach (that’s your solar plexus where self-worth, self-confidence, and self-esteem reside) or chest area (that’s your heart are where love, joy, and inner peace reside) I urge you to BE courageous and take an action by emailing my team (marla@ecreativebiz.com) for your complimentary money assessment quiz that will help you identify the truths about your relationship with money.

Then we can explore how I may support you with standing in your power with money!

Expansive Money Energy vs.Contraction Money Energy - Which One Are You Living By?

Did you know your personal brand dims (in many ways) when you have an under-current of money "contraction" energy in your life?

What is contraction energy? Worry, doubt, fear, quilt, shame, and lack around money. Whereas, "expansive" energy around money attracts more money in your life. Expansive energy is faith, belief, trust, gratitude, action, courage, abundant thinking, appreciation and respect toward money among many more.

When you are in a relationship with money that more often feels expansive vs. contraction - you set a new "normal" to live by and attract more opportunities, ideas, and money into your life and business. How do you move into expansive energy and begin to recalibrate as your new normal so your brand “exudes” confidence and grace? 

Eliminate your money clutter.

Here are ways money clutter can look and feel. It’s different for many people:

• Your personal relationships and how you give up your power with money. What is the dynamic in your significant other relationship when it comes to paying bills or delegating financial duties?
• What about your business where you don't require high enough fees for your brilliant talent?
• You could have been brought up to believe you were not meant to be wealthy and you "adopted" that mindset well into your adult years.
• Maybe it’s the avoidance of looking at your bank statements.
• Your wallet? Is it overflowing with receipts and extra stuff? Do you need buy a new, luxurious one that feels “rich” every time you use it?

No worries! There is a caring, dignified, and savvy way to change this and feel GREAT about it! I respect the sensitivity to this subject. Trust me. I was there. We all have growth in this area and it becomes one of the most liberating transformations you can have resulting in a powerful brand and a business that evolves and thrives!  

We all want to feel fulfilled and know we are giving extraordinary value to our clients.

Here are a few tips (of many) to help you begin letting go of old money beliefs, stories and worth (which are by default) that are simply not true. Let’s begin to replace them with brand new behaviors and stories that help us design a powerful brand, business & life we love.

1.   1. Forgive yourself deeply and others who may have influenced you around the “lack” of money mindset and create a “money power” statement that feeds your energy with possibility, confidence and abundance. It could read like: “I am a confident, powerful, highly creative, strong woman who speaks her truth and is a great steward of money creating consistent lavish income so I live abundantly with those I love."

2. Speak positively about money all-the-time and request the people around you to do the same. Say often to yourself “I stand in my power with money.”

3. Be courageous. Make decisions from where you want to be not where you are. Act AS IF you are already a $ 100K, 200K, 500K etc. business owner. Stop living in the “old” mindset and take actions that move you toward the next version of who you are to become.

4. Set up a bill paying system and buy a visually attractive folder and files that feel good. This will help get rid of the boring black & white feel to money management.  (Women like color and beautiful things – make your money that way, too.)

5. Clean out your wallet and buy yourself a new, gorgeous wallet that FEELS rich.

Keep in mind…it's hard to claim a BOLD money goal with old beliefs. 2^nd quarter of business is here. Let’s free up your creative energy for even higher success. Let's move into summer with a BOLD money goal that we can be proud of and with belief that it can happen!

This is BOLD branding power.

Look at what Cate did to build a buzz and grow her list!

A very important element to your BOLD branding strategies is building a momentum in your online marketing and social media efforts. You know…building a buzz! I was inspired to share this after working with a few clients recently in setting up their branded ezine (newsletter) and list building system which requires a compelling invitation to join their list placed from their website or blog. 

This info will certainly give you a simple strategy for viral marketing and list building! I came across a posting this week in my private Facebook forum for the Elevate coaching program I am a member of. This forum (FB group page) is filled with rich content all day every day with savvy business women supporting one another in building their businesses of all kinds. (Very powerful).

My fellow Elevate member successful Ayurvedic Healer, Cate Stillman, shared a simple success on the forum with her opt-in strategy. (She's a hoot!) Cate Stillman teaches a practical cutting-edge approach to Ayurveda for those ready to commit to their health evolution.

This is what she did I consider innovative and BOLD:
She created a 20 tips list on her blog that became a source of peer-to-peer marketing. Not only did she have her community pull excerpts from the 20 tips and post them everywhere, but they re-posted the page on their FB pages and more. This resulted in over 3500 views in three months. Now, that's effective viral marketing!

But here's the secret. Click here to see Cate's page and then come back for my reveal. 

If you notice on the right side of the blog is her "opt-in" invite box done very well. The design and simple invite provide the visitor even more cool stuff to receive. So, the tip sheet strategy was positioned as the initial high content to capture interest, give value to her readers all the while feeding her email list. Make sense?
 

Brilliant.
 
I share this in hopes you take this strategy and get similar success. And if this piques your interest about joining me in this marvelous community of driven women (and some men) business owners spearheaded by Ali Brown and her lead coaches James Roche, Joy Chudacoff and Sue Painter -- click here for details on the Elevate Program.

It has been one of the best investments I have made in my business in years.

Questions about the opt-in strategy? Please post at my fan page and I will be happy to answer.
