How Money Stagnates in Your Business
and Dims Your Personal Brand’s Light
This topic is a big one mostly
for women – so men bear with me and take the insight into your relationships. The law of
giving and receiving in our business is crucial to our financial well being. So when one part of that equation is stagnant, the flow stops.
Now,
women are natural, beautiful givers, however, I often find women having an inability to receive (on some level) due to generational
patterns and behaviors that were not ours to begin with. When we heal this powerful part of our lives,
our personal brand and business excels!
To illustrate my point, I am
pulling back the curtain and taking you behind the scenes of a recent interaction
with a new, very special client and explain how her “email breakthrough” began
based on the entire issue of the inability
to receive.
BTW, I recently had a
conversation with a spiritual coach who defined one of my biggest breakthroughs
would be around the concept of receiving in my business without having to give;
just be open to receiving. Hmmm… interesting how we attract just what we need
for our own healing. I share this client story because many of you will relate
and feel a sense of relief that there is a way out of this disempowering
behavior of not being able to receive.
She came to me via email
having found my content on the Internet seeking for a Money Breakthrough coach.
As a certified Money Breakthrough Method coach from Kendall Summerhawk’s
extraordinary training, my goal is to move people through their money stories
and patterns that prevent them from having a healthy relationship with money
and stand in their power with money. Those patterns can show up as guilt,
shame, not charging enough for our talents/services, ignoring bills, avoiding,
etc. Believe me, I had several of these to work through in the training before
I could step into being that coach and I continue to work on my patterns all
the time!
After a few “get to know us”
emails, I then attempted to set up a discovery call (complimentary) to go over
a questionnaire I sent her so I could have an in-depth call about her needs.
Then the behavior pattern
began to show up.
She kept avoiding completing
the questionnaire and sending more reply emails with emotional content about
her experience with other coaches, wanting to know fees and just more “money”
stuff pouring out with each sentence. She then wrote she prefers paying for the
discovery session since she had a challenge with receiving gifts and a
fear of not being truthful in our call because she didn’t pay for it. (Control; trust issue). This request was a first for me and a welcome challenge I
could not wait to get to the heart of!
After a series of emails reading
about her “mother” money issue and knowing she must get rid of her insidious
patterns, she finally came through with her truth about the inability to
receive gifts. But, she thought it had nothing to do with money. (Love this part! This is a great example of guilt
or shame.)
After a few weeks of emails
and her being gone on vacation, my response (below) resulted in her reply,
“Thank you for your insightful reply and I think you are hitting the bullseye!”
She then happily agreed to the complimentary session and is excited to move
forward learning how to receive by not paying for the intro call. This was a
big breakthrough given the major resistance I experienced in all her
emails!
My reply to her:
“Giving and receiving is THE
main reason you have a money issue. Yes it may originated with your Mom
unfortunately, but that fact you have a challenge with giving and receiving,
you are not open "energetically" or tangibly to live in abundance of
money. Money MUST circulate (give and receive) and by controlling it (security
issue) - you are stagnating and repelling money.
Your relationship with money is either in contraction/restriction or expansion. Money is an energy FIRST - NOT a piece of paper that exchanges goods and services. You have lived in complete denial of abundance due to placing a stop to the circulation of how your life works. It's how your heart works. Imagine your heart not willing to receive the oxygen and blood from your body - it could not give you life; same exact thing with money. It must be able to give and receive and flow - not be controlled - to give you life.

Now your ego mind may be
saying this is all hogwash and woo-woo - but your heart knows the truth and so
do I. If you are willing to have a real breakthrough and stop this insidious
pattern, I am happy to serve you with a questionnaire call complimentary so I
can better understand how further I can serve you. If not, I appreciate your
reaching out to me and you should find another coach. I am willing to go to mat
with you, but you must be willing to also.”
