Manifestation and energetic work can be incredibly powerful for business. It’s the kind of work that makes clients show up in your DMs without you even feeling like you did a ton of work to bring them to the sale. But when we just take their teachings at face value, they have the potential to really slow us down.
Here are 4 myths to keep in mind:
Intuition is the best strategy
Sure, we all love the saying you need to feel it in your gut, but if you don’t know the right strategy, to begin with, how will your intuition know what to do next? How will your intuition be able to guide you to a step-by-step strategy that serves you better? If you don’t know anything about marketing strategy, this is bound to fail. And oftentimes, a small tweak in strategy can make a huge difference in the trajectory of your business. Also, a lot of us mistaken our fear for intuition, so if intuition truly is a strategy at all, we need to know if the voice we’re listening to is the one we need to be.
Ask, and it is given.
Once again assumes there is no work going into what you do. You can ask for a 6 figure launch all you want, but it won’t be given if you don’t have the audience size for it, if your messaging is off point, or if your sales strategy isn’t planned out, you may have a lot more difficulties executing it and frustrations even if your belief is at an all-time high.
Business is a 90% mindset.
I fall privy to this one too. It’s true, so much of what we do in our business comes from what we believe, but this is also very misleading for someone who’s very practical and follows the rules. Sometimes a change in strategy is literally what it takes to turn everything around. Yes, we need to do mindset work, and it’s pivotal to our success. However, suggesting it’s more mindset than strategic marketing could be costing you the pivotal new strategy you need to really see more clients coming in.
If you’re in high energetic vibration and are in full belief that it’s possible, it will happen.
This has been the peril for so much shame that my clients experience for not hitting launch numbers and feeling like they’re just not good enough. The very first time I personally did this and “believed” all the way through, I had about half of the expected people I really wanted in my launch. The second time I broke even with the investments I made in my launch, and I was a wreck. The truth is that sometimes it doesn’t happen even when you put full belief into what you’re doing.
As a soulful business coach, I’ve likely said all of these 4 things at some point in time in my coaching with clients, and while they can be helpful, they absolutely must come with a caveat. I highly recommend using manifestation and spirituality in business as long as it’s used alongside practical marketing.
