Want More Money? The Secret Formula They Didn’t Teach You in School

Posted on by

I am fascinated by money – what it is, how it operates, how to attract it, save it, invest it, spend it, give it to others and create more of it. In palmistry, women entrepreneurs’ hands reveal, in the hand’s simple, straightforward way, the STRUCTURE of money as well as what to do and what NOT to do to have a good relationship with money. Look at the palm of your hand. The middle finger is divided into three zones. The upper zone represents women business owners’ ‘system’ of money, the middle zone represents the ‘management’ of money and the bottom zone represents the ‘roots’ of money. The upper zone of the middle finger says that money has a system to it. This system may be abstract and invisible at first glance, but it has a system nonetheless.

The lower zone says that money has its roots in the Earth. If you think about it, EVERY TANGIBLE THING WE POSSESS COMES FROM THE EARTH. Your desk, your computer, your clothes, the food you eat, gold, diamonds, etc. – all this bounty comes from the Earth.

The middle zone is where the system of money and the material resources of money combine. Managed properly, women entrepreneurs put money in the bank. Thus, the middle zone of the middle finger is about managing money. The System of Money (palmistry upper zone): Money is a precise measure of value – it either adds up or it doesn’t. Money deals in numbers that can be put on spreadsheets and on profit and loss statements. Money is orderly and therefore, it LOVES order. If women business owners want to attract more money, they need to have structures in place that organize the money that they attract. Structures such as balanced bank accounts, an accountant, a bookkeeper and a SYSTEM for their business. The more women entrepreneurs can create reliable, repeatable systems in their businesses, the more money they will have. The Management of Money (palmistry middle zone): This is money in the bank – preferably in an account with your name on it! The precision of your money system directly impacts the flow of money in and out of your bank account. As a palmistry expert, I cannot stress this enough.

The Roots of Money (palmistry lower zone): Money is the systematic measuring of the value placed on goods and services. ALL goods and services come, originally, from the root of all roots – Mother Earth. ‘Money’ measures value – tangible and intangible. The ‘root’ of money is that which is valuable – things you can touch as well as things you can’t. Your inner value system can’t be held like a diamond in your hand – but it’s critical to your success in business. Your values MUST line up with your actions. Here are some palmistry formulas that reveal the STRUCTURE of money: NOTE: Formula Key: Upper Finger Zone = System; Middle Finger Zone = Management; Bottom Finger Zone = Resources Excellent System + Excellent Management + Excellent Resources (your inner values, knowledge, desire, passion, focus, additional money) = $$$$ Some System + Some Management + Some Resources = some $$ No System + No Resources + No Management = what money? Here’s another way to play with our formula: a good system plus solid values equals money in the bank. For many women entrepreneurs that I coach, the SYSTEM seems to be the missing piece. Most women business owners are keenly aware of their bank account status because it’s a physical reality. But the necessary systems to honor their inner values often get left in the dust. Why? Because they’re not in our face every day, demanding our attention.

It’s All About Transcendence! 3 Steps to Unleash Your Inner Magic

Posted on by

Abraham Maslow, the famed psychologist known for his hierarchy of needs, reportedly indicated that beyond “self-actualization” at the top of his needs pyramid, was another level – he called this level ‘transcendence.’Whereas self-actualization involves realizing your personal potential, self-fulfillment, and seeking personal growth and peak experiences, “transcendence” is abouthelping OTHERS self-actualize.This is where the magic really begins.One of the members of my

Phenomenal Entrepreneur Coaching Circle, Don Smith, built a very successful business before discovering his love for service work. Using his own money, he has helped establish over 30 orphanages in both Africa and the Philippines as well as creating reading programs for women’s groups in these areas. To hear Don speak of his mission is to be transformed. To feel the power of his heart is to transcend one’s own personal concerns and connect with the larger family that makes up our beautiful planet. As soon as his new web site is ready, I will let you know how you can participate in his incredible, transcendent vision if it speaks to you.Another coaching member discovered Don’s work and knew that helping him was her own form of transcendence. She is on fire, connected to her Life Purpose and making a big difference in the world. She is feeling the magic that comes from knowing and living her Life Purpose.Here are 3 steps to unleash your inner magic and TRANSCEND: 

#1 Discover Your Life Purpose and EXPAND

 

Are you expanding or contracting - financially, physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually?#2 Make a Plan for Your Life Purpose and TRANSFORM

 

I had a client – let’s call her Amy – whose Life Purpose is “Transformational Healer in the Spotlight with a Message.” 

I said, “Well, how often are you out there speaking to live groups?”

She said, “I’m not.”

We finished our session together and she said, “So, can you tell me about my business?”

I could feel her confusion. That’s how denial works. We sometimes don’t want to see the obvious, natural and EASY step because it can feel uncomfortable. My suggestion to her was to schedule speaking twice a month and send out her newsletter once a month by mail to begin building her ongoing dialogue with her clients. By making this plan and implementing it, she found traction, momentum and commitment to her dream. This began her transformation into the life she really wanted to live!#3 Live Your Life Purpose and TRANSCEND

 

As you continue to express your Life Purpose in all you do and all that you are, you may find that just fulfilling your own goals of a great relationship, glowing health, a nice home, etc. is NOT enough. You are maybe a little bored or frustrated. This is a sign that you want to help OTHERS fulfill their purposes. This the

KEY to transcendence and REAL magic in your life. When you set out BEFORE you have all the money, evidence, proof and support to help others, the help comes. When Don committed to working in Africa, he had no idea how to do it. Once he was there and committed to his project, the money, help and opportunities began rolling in to support his dream. But not BEFORE…AFTER he said YES to his purpose.

The formula goes like this: 

“I’m confused. > Found my Life Purpose! (expand) > Living my dream life! (transform)> Helping others live their dream lives! > Transcendence!”

If you are READY to transform your life and be an agent of transcendence, don’t miss my Life Purpose Spiritual Summit. You will experience an entirely new way of being in the world. I’ve even seen the room glow with the energy created by people embracing their true paths in the world!

The REAL Reason You Have Fear

Posted on by
7

I’ve been thinking about this question a lot lately: “What’s the REAL reason we have fear?” Why? Because I’ve been having more fear than usual. Why? I’m doing things that are new in my business and thus, I’m in unfamiliar territory.

You’ve probably heard these explanations for the root of your fear more than once:

·         You’re out of your comfort zone

·         You need more information

·         You fear the unknown

·         You lack courage

·         You lack focus

·         You lack self-confidence

And that’s just a short list!  While all of those reasons are potentially valid depending upon the situation, I’d like to dig a little deeper, using your fingerprints as our map through fear.

Your fingerprints reveal several aspects of your soul, and one of those aspects is your Life Lesson. Your Life Lesson is your blind spot, your gremlin, your nemesis, your “negative tapes.”

Your Life Lesson could be one or a combination of these issues:

·       panic caused by a life out of balance (everything is an *emergency*)

·       anxiety making decisions

·       not expressing your authentic feelings due to the perceived expectations of others

·       sacrificing yourself into burdensome obligation

·       lack of clarity about your definition of success

·       challenges owning your power in the world

·       challenges managing your energy, time and money

·       challenges expressing your creativity

·       challenges speaking up for your self

·       challenges with your family and community (on a life scale)

·       challenges finding your passion and dealing with victimization, shame and numbness

·       challenges finding your niche due to guilt (“If I succeed, it takes away from others.” THAT kind of guilt)

·       paralyzing fear of rejection

·       trust/surrender/intimacy issues with anything: other people, food, money, etc.

If you look at the above list, are there one or two Life Lessons that really stand out for you? My Life Lesson is “not expressing my authentic feelings due to the perceived expectations of others.” Sooooo… now I’m doing new and different things with my business – and what do I fear? You guessed it! I fear what other people think and feel about me. (I recognize I have no control over what others think and feel about me. But it doesn’t make my lesson any less painful for the knowing.)

If you follow any fear to its natural conclusion, the fear is a painful outcome - humiliation, shame, excommunication, torture, fire, starvation, annihilation, etc. You think I’m kidding? I’m not kidding. THAT’S why we get so afraid about making that important phone call, closing the sale, standing up to our mother or father or our children.

Our Life Lesson is the surface issue that trips us up – it acts, amazingly enough, as a PROTECTION mechanism. What lies below that surface issue is our fear of not surviving. Fear lives in our mid-brain or *reptile brain* and it runs on instinct. All our crocodile brain knows is that if you step into the “Life Lesson Zone,” something scary is going to happen.

And then the drama begins. You get distracted, you procrastinate, you have no money, you have no time… The drama is the crocodile brain’s way of keeping you from FACING your Life Lesson and hence, learning it. By not facing the Life Lesson, our crocodile brain achieves ITS goal of keeping us stuck. When we learn our Life Lesson, we actualize our Life Purpose

What Does It REALLY Take To Have A Successful Business?

Posted on by

“What does it really take to have a successful business?” I’ve thought about this question so many times and my answer sometimes shifts, based upon where I am on my own journey. However, after nine years in business, I’ve discovered several factors that remain the same.

YOU Are Your Business

“Who are you?” sang Roger Daltrey of the rock band, “The Who.”

I was speaking with a new member of my Phenomenal Women Coaching Circle the other day and I asked her why she applied to my group, over all the other options available to her. “Beth, you do know that YOU are your business, right? You bring your full self to everything you do. You are authentic, you are YOU. I want to model that energy for my own business. I want to be more of who I REALLY am and bring that authentic expression into my business.”

What she said lingered. I am not perfect. I get overwhelmed, drop the ball, and forget to do things just like everyone else. Not every client is a good fit and many people have no interest in or understanding about what I do. What a revelation. I don’t have to be perfect – just myself!

YOUR CLIENTS Are Your Business

In essence, the first step to a successful business is being your authentic self. This means loving and appreciating who you are and what you do. The second step is recognizing that being true to your soul attracts IDEAL clients. Your clients and customers are the center, the very core of your business. Your business is not your products, your services or your equipment. Your business is your clients and customers.

Are you in touch with your clients in a systematized way? Do you let them know what you are up to? Do you regularly survey them on what they want from you? Another Phenomenal Women Coaching Circle member recommended this book (which inspired this article), The Referral of a Lifetime by Tim Templeton. It is a powerful story about attracting and retaining ideal clients without being salesy or pushy. If you follow the simple system laid out in the book, you will not only attract more clients, but very likely, fall more in love with the magnificence of YOU. I would also add that this book is a great reminder for putting your clients and customers first – especially if you’ve been in a business a long time.

Find Your Voice and Express Your Truth = “The Original Professional”

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably noticed that lately I’ve been coming out with more and more of my spiritual discoveries and spiritual tools. Tomorrow, I’m offering another free channeling call because the last call was an off-the-charts hit. I’m listening to you -and what you are telling me you want more of. And here’s the interesting thing – what you are telling me is essentially this, “Beth, the more you are fully you, sharing your detailed, inner experience, the more of it I want!” That is the paradox. In being vulnerable and daring, I’m actually giving you, my client, permission to do the same.

In leading the way, my courage gives others permission to shine. These leaders, in turn, empower other leaders by speaking their truth.

If you find yourself asking yourself, “What is MY message?,” I will tell you what I’ve learned from reading thousands of hands – your message is what you hold most dear. Your message is what you do naturally and effortlessly throughout the day. Are you fanatical about fitness? There’s a message. In love with ancient religions and rituals?

Another message. Secretly channeling divine guidance and Source Energy like me? I bet there’s a message in there somewhere.

In a nutshell: BE passionately yourself, passionately connect with your customers and clients and passionately speak YOUR truth (about EVERYTHING – your rates, your services, your love for your clients and your love for what you do – no apologies, no excuses!!!). You will be amazed at the results. 

Bonus Tip: STOP apologizing. No more prefacing things with, “Well, I only had a few minutes to put this together,” or “Gee, I don’t think this is very good, but here goes…” Stop, Stop, Stop! First of all, no one cares about your whiney excuses. Second of all, you diminish your power and cause the listener to diminish your message since you’ve effectively said, “Don’t bother listening to me. I don’t take myself seriously, so why should you?” Got it! Good.

If you’re going to make a new year’s resolution, how about this one? “From this day forward, I speak my truth, my point of view, my message without reservation, without apology. I am a voice of love, power and truth. I am voice of reason, accountability and empowerment. My laser-sharp words wake people up and make them listen harder. As I take a stand for me, I embolden others to take a stand for themselves!” And then pause. Listen for your soul singing low and sweet with happiness to the sound of you coming home to yourself.

The Hand Analyst’s Palm Pilot Push Up for the week:

Who are YOU - Really? What are the “goods” of your business? The essence of you that sets you apart from all the others? If you could tell your clients and customers what you really think – the things you think when you’re alone at night sorting out your life and the mysteries of the day – what would you share to empower, inspire and embolden them? You know things in way only you can know them. Did you know that? “Go tell it on the mountain.” That’s the image: See yourself on the top of Mt. Everest, calling out your message to the world. It’s time. It’s always time to speak the truth. The world chokes on the weeds of untruth and comes alive with vibrant foliage when your magical words ring out.

How Feeling “Ugly” Can Help You Prosper

Posted on by

I divided my ring finger into the three standard zones: upper, middle and bottom.

The middle zone of the ring finger, when it is the strongest of the three zones, represents the material aspects of creativity. These can include design in many forms (clothing, furniture, jewelry) and arts & crafts.

When the middle zone of the ring finger on either hand is the smallest of the three zones or has a “waisted” effect as my middle zone does, it means that the person is going through or went through an ugly duckling stage during their teen years.

What makes this aspect so very challenging is that the “ugly duckling” can only see their flaws, real or imagined. The lack of perceived ‘beauty’ in their own ‘physical design,’ i.e. their face and body, becomes all-consuming, crowding out other positive features, talents and skills. As a result, the “ugly” obsession often materializes externally, leaving the teenager to be ridiculed and excluded by their peers for being “ugly,” different or just plain weird.

So what is an ugly duckling in recovery to do? For me, it meant recovering from years of downplaying my physical appearance with black, baggy clothes and no makeup. In the past four years, I have found the best fabric colors, hair style, and jewelry designs to enhance my unique sensibilities.

In order to turn the ugly duckling years into an asset, it means claiming your beauty and reveling in it. No more hiding, no more excuses. I’ve integrated my color schemes into my web design, my home design and my wardrobe. The ugly duckling ain’t such a bad “designer” after all.

And THAT, my friends, is how the ugly duckling becomes a swan… by singing her song, strutting her stuff and getting HELP with areas that are uncomfortable. So, if you’re not sure how to wear your hair or makeup or are a fashion disaster, get some help and let yourself shine!

Here’s my Coach’s Challenge for you this week:

Go through your closet and toss out EVERYTHING you don’t like, don’t wear or are saving for the proverbial rainy day. Sell it on E-Bay, give it to charity, or throw it away if it’s not worthy of passing on. Free yourself of all that does not reflect your true beauty.
