Before I dive into the 5 mindset shifts for manifesting easier, let me first give you a little preview of what my kind of manifesting looks like. Because it’s different from what you’ve learned from all of the manifesting gurus out there.

My kind of manifesting is rooted in your essence, which means you don’t have to do more, be more, or perform more. Translation, you no longer need to fake it till you make it.


I’m talking about the manifesting gurus who ask you to set 50 alarms on your phone to trick yourself into believing that you’re making a sale. I’m talking about the ones who give you a list of 100 affirmations that you don’t really believe. I’m talking about the ones who ask you to pretend to be someone you’re not or to have something you don’t. This is why manifesting feels “hard” for so many of us. It’s because it feels inauthentic. It doesn’t feel right, and it doesn’t feel true.


The only thing that is true, and will ever be true, is your essence. Your essence is your highest frequency, your unique universal signal, and your energetic signature. It is your internal compass, your higher self, and it holds a wealth of information that you may not be tapping into if you feel that you are holding back or that you are capable of so much more, or if you feel as though you’re playing small in this game of life and not showing up fully as the soulpreneur you were always meant to be.


I’ve created a movement called Soul’d, made up of soul-aligned business owners who are marketing and manifesting with nothing but the essence that is them. I’ve created methods that help soulpreneurs return to their own knowing and work with nothing but the essence that is them.


Why? Because when your essence is at the forefront of everything you do, you’re not only more real, relatable, and rooted in the way you show up in the world, you are also broadcasting your highest frequency. This is what creates the magnetic effect. When you are radiating your truth, you are calling in everything that aligns with that.


But here’s the thing, inner transformation is required before the outer transformation reveals itself. The ego needs to take a backseat in order to access your essence. And let me be clear: your ego doesn’t just define the parts of you that are considered “egotistical” by society’s standards. It includes the parts of you that keep you from showing up, being seen, and shining. These are the aspects of you that are worried about how you’ll be perceived, fretting over who’s watching, obsessing over the perfect timing or words, or staying small to keep others comfortable. Your essence is free.


One of the foundational principles of my methods is self-discovery through the shedding of everything you are not, including what built up your ego, and especially all that can bring it down. Everything that life, parents, authority figures, your culture, your social circles, your wallet, and your bank accounts told you or showed you about yourself is false. The only person, the only thing, that can decide who you are is you. Your essence cannot be determined by anyone else. Not only can it not be taken from you, it can’t even be validated for you. When you’re using nothing but the essence that is you to build your life and business, that is true mastery of self.


But why don’t we tap into our essence to begin with? Why is our ego still taking the lead? Welcome to Earth School, where we are pulled as far away from our internal knowing as possible, where we are handed circumstances, challenges, confusion, and chaos that make us question ourselves. Welcome to the place where we are born and raised to survive, not thrive.


Our egos know how to survive based on centuries of evolution. We don’t know how to fully thrive. It’s not something we are taught. It’s something we remember. We remember our divinity. We remember our light. And for soulpreneurs, those of us who have decided to take the path of spiritual growth and evolution, we can remember this a lot quicker than most. We understand the value of the journey of becoming who we truly are, our authentic selves.


When you take your true path, your soul path, your most authentic path forward, it doesn’t necessarily make the path easier, but it allows you to become the truest version of yourself, the self-actualized version of yourself, the one who has integrated with their higher self and is now living as that. Yes, this path is scary, uncertain, and filled with challenges that arise for our own growth and evolution, but what could be safer than taking the path that was always meant for you to begin with? Why would you want to take any other?


Let’s dive into 5 mindset shifts that will make manifesting easier, particularly if you’re doing it with your essence, or at the very least, want to give it a shot.


Mindset shift 1: You’re not figuring it out, you’re remembering


Our essence gives us our marketing message. It gives us our marketing strategy. It gives us our next steps. It gives us the big picture. It calls in what we require. It allows us to be divinely resourced when we are holding the frequency of it, of our authenticity. When we tap into the deeper truths within, particularly as they relate to the work that we do here, we access a wealth of information that allows us to use our voice and energy authentically.


Mindset shift 2: Everything you see in your reality is what you’re writing into it


If everything is an illusion, if the game of life really is a game, who would you be in it? How would you move? What would you focus on? How would you build up the storyline? You are the main character of your life. Are you living out the life you want? You get to be in control of the narrative. Make it a story that matters.


Mindset shift 3: Money is a mirror, not your master


In The Manifesting Methods, which I also call The Money Methods, I provide a series of methods that allow you to dive into your current relationship with money and all of the ways that money owns you. When you create a sacred relationship with money and steward it in integrity with your higher purpose and higher self, you see a clearer version of yourself, a version of you as the soulpreneur you were always meant to be. Money is no longer your master but your mirror, and it will reflect back your truest, most expansive self.


Mindset shift 4: The universe doesn’t respond to your costume, it responds to your consciousness


The Universe, God, Source, Love, whatever you want to believe in that is a higher power, does not respond to your costume. It responds to your consciousness. In other words, life doesn’t respond to what you want or what you’re trying to get. It responds to who you are. It responds to your posture. It responds to your self-concept. It doesn’t care what you do or don’t want. It cares about what you think you are worthy of and what you are ready for.


Mindset shift 5: You don’t receive what you deserve, you receive what you broadcast


You’re the signal. You’re the source. If your essence is your highest frequency, your universal signal, and your energetic signature, imagine the power that you’re broadcasting into the Universe. Imagine the power you are signaling out into your energetic field. Imagine the impact of your energetic expression at that point. You can’t fake it till you make it. You can’t fake a frequency. You can’t fake your essence. You have to find it.


You gain two things as a soulpreneur when you are working with the essence that is you. Through The Marketing Methods, you gain clarity about your work and why it matters so much to you, your greatest and most authentic marketing message. And through The Manifesting Methods, you become the version of you who can share this message with the world, your most expansive self, the version of you who is excited to show up, be seen, and shine. Your essence is the portal to your most successful soulpreneur self.
