It goes without saying, we want to express our Divinity into this world AND be paid very well for our work. Yet, there many hurdles to jump through in birthing our Soul Purposeful work into the world. Here are the top 5:

1. You aren’t clear on what you really want. It’s true…we say that we hate this or that aspect of our lives, we wish we could make great money doing something we love, hopefully our soul purpose, but we are not specific enough.  When you find yourself saying “I hate trading hours for dollars” you need to go one step further and say what you want to be doing “I want to be making money in my sleep” OK…great, there’s actually a book for that, Make Money While You Sleep. Go read it! Most importantly, be specific on what you want instead of your current reality.
2. You get stuck in “I don’t Know.” As the ultimate creator of your own reality, you know. If you allow your authentic self to speak, if you allow your Soul to come forward and really inspire you with a vision, you will realize that you DO know what you want, you do know who you are, and you at least know the next step of what you need to do. Many of us get stuck in the “I don’t know” and we wallow in it. Here is my advice: trust that you DO know and figure out what you really want!
3. You think “It’s not meant to be.” My Favorite! Oh…the Universe must not really want me to have the life of my dreams, I should just be happy with scraping by… yah, right! Only the vengeful god of the Old Testament punishes people. You know who doesn’t want you to have what you really want (which is why you tell yourself that it’s “not meant to be”)? YOU. That’s right, you don’t really want to live the life of your dreams, you don’t really want to be successful…it’s YOU, its not the YOUniverse. Here’s the deal: since birth we are told by our parents “don’t touch that” “no, you can’t do that” or “no, you can’t have that” we are told this so much that we actually believe that we can’t have what we want and so slowly, we begin not to want things as much because, someone (our parents, the universe, our friends, the society) will tell us that we “can’t” have it…and then we’re sad. It’s time to un-do all of that programming and go after what you really want. You deserve it, now it’s up to you to make it happen.
4. You give up too quickly. Somehow, because we are spiritual we think that the laws of the Physical dimension don’t apply to us. Clearly, if we are doing our purpose, your business will grow from $0 to $1M over night…nope. In fact, most businesses fail within the first year and it takes at least 3 years for a business to break even. Now, I teach my clients how to break even in 90 days, and that’s record speed, but I will tell you that just because you don’t see massive results right away it doesn’t mean that you’re not on the right path. Give it at least 3 months of solid dedicated unyielding effort and you will see results.
5. You over or under DO it. This one is a tricky one to catch on to, but I’ve honed in on it! We are spiritual, conscious entrepreneurs and we need to have a balanced approach to how we do our work. There needs to be as much non-action as there is action. I usually see entrepreneurs either putting too much emphasis on the doing part without leaving room to be inspired into their actions. Often this leaves us over worked, stressed and broke. Or I see entrepreneurs spend all day intuiting and visioning and getting guidance from their higher selves and doing more visioning, and they might start work, but then they will get inspired again by another vision…this also leaves conscious entrepreneurs broke because you need consistent effort towards ONE vision to achieve physical 3D results. So, un-inspired action and all inspiration and no action both lead to no money flow. If you invest equal time in the day to vision and act, you are on the track of abundance!
