It’s easy to get sucked into society’s impressions about how things should or shouldn’t be, what it means to be successful and how you should or shouldn’t run your business. But a lot of the things that are being taught out there about how to do things are simply not based on higher truth.

And, the old ways of doing things are no longer working.

There is a lot of fear and old programming running in people and society that cause many people to live a life in struggle. I see so many coaches and healers who are frustrated and stuck because they are either working their butt off and getting burnt out, or they are not able to make enough money or attract enough clients to sustain the lifestyle they really want.

It doesn’t have to be this way.  The truth is, you can have a successful thriving practice, create huge transformation for your clients and live the lifestyle you truly desire. But if you are going to do that, you may need to challenge some of your beliefs about what’s possible and what it takes.

Here are some common misconceptions about what it takes to be successful  that could keep you spinning your wheels and make things much harder than they need to be. The truth is you can have anything you want, and there is no limit to your level of success. If you truly understand and embody the points below, you will be thriving and can create anything you want.

• It’s not your experience, your degree or your level of intelligence that is going to make you or break you in your business. 95% of all your results come from your subconscious programming. You could be programmed to reach your goals, to feel like a failure, or to be somewhere in between. The key to success is not as much what you are doing but who you are being. The key is to align your subconscious mind for success, and once you do that, your subconscious mind will use all its power to create exactly what you want with ease. But if you run against your subconscious mind, you’re going to exhaust yourself without getting any closer to your goals and dreams. If you want to start reprogramming your mind for success and abundance, I invite you to get a copy of my free Rewire Your Brain Meditation here. 

• Working more doesn’t mean more money. I see a lot of people who are not meeting their goals and they try harder in order to make things work, but that’s insanity. Like Einstein said, Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. It’s not as much how much work you do, but how you do your work that makes all of the difference. If you do your work the right way, you can work a lot less while making more. For example, if you put stressed energy into your business, you’re going to attract stressful results. If you put fearful energy into your business, you will attract more things that make you fearful about, but if you put inspired energy into your business, you will get inspiring results and be more successful!

• People don’t pay you for your time. They pay you for results, for change, for transformation. If you can create lasting change, solve people’s problems or help them transform, there is no limit to what the value is for that, and people will gladly pay you for it when they see the value. Being clear on what kind of results or transformation you create for your clients is essential in order for people to want to work with you. 

• You cannot lead people through a transformation that you haven’t done yourself. If you are still stuck in the same problem as your client is, you are probably not going to be very effective in helping others through that transformation. This is why working on yourself should be the #1 priority if you want to be successful as a healer or coach. You don’t need to have it ALL figured out yet but the key is that you are at least a few steps ahead of them. 

• Having a lack consciousness can be detrimental to your business. Just like I said that your subconscious programming controls 95% of your results, so does the programming around lack and scarcity. If you believe there won’t be enough time, there won’t be. If you believe there won’t be enough money, there won’t be. If you believe you’re not good enough, people will perceive you that way. The truth is that there is no lack other than in your consciousness, and if it’s in your consciousness, then it’s also present in your life. It must be that way, as your life is just a mirror of your consciousness. Once you shift into a wealth consciousness, wealth and abundance will show up, effortlessly, and you can have more than enough of anything you want. 
• You cannot give from an empty cup. Self-care is essential when you do transformational work for others. If you don’t have time in your schedule to take care of you first, then what’s left to give to your clients will not be much. You cannot be your best if you don’t feel your best. Self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity when you want to lead other people to a great life.
