EP 51: Turning Passions into Profits: Mindset Shifts for Soulful Entrepreneurs
Today, I want to dive into something that's foundational for success: mindset. One of the things that makes me an effective and unique coach is my ability to quickly pinpoint why my clients or students aren't accomplishing their goals. I pay attention to how they're speaking about things, their body language, and their tone. With my gifts of clairvoyance and intuition, I can quickly address the underlying issues.
Often, I'll tell a client, "I think your inner child is feeling unsafe, and that's why you're not showing up on social media to share your offers." Or I'll say, "I'm seeing a teenage version of you that's committed to a certain way of thinking, feeling like it's the only way to stay in control, and that's creating resistance." This resonates deeply with my clients and helps them understand why they're stuck.
When someone chooses to work with me or joins one of my group programs, I help them manifest their goals quickly. I identify what's blocking them from taking action, and it's not just about accountability. It's about mindset and healing. Shining a light on a belief that's holding them back is just the first step. The next step is to address the lack of confidence, the fear of taking up space, and the worry about what others will think if they pursue their dreams.
Lately, I've had many conversations about the fear of success, especially as I enroll people in my Soulful Entrepreneur Mentorship. Deep down, some are afraid of what will happen if they succeed. This fear often stems from childhood experiences, like being told not to brag about straight A's or to hide their successes to avoid hurting others' feelings. These contradictory messages—be great but hide it—can create deep-seated fears and insecurities.
In group settings, when such fears come up, we often drop into mini healing sessions or meditations. This helps connect with the part of themselves that feels unsafe or unworthy, and through this guidance, we calm their nervous system and instill new, supportive beliefs. This shift allows them to show up and achieve the successes they desire.
Strategy and action steps are important, but they're not enough on their own. When you're applying for a job, for instance, if you're sending out 100 resumes without checking your energy and mindset, you're likely to feel desperation or fear. This energy affects the outcome. Some clients discover they don't actually want a job in the same field they've outgrown, but they keep applying because they don't see other options.
It's crucial to get still and reflect on your thoughts and feelings about the job. If there's a lack of desire for the job, that energy is palpable and can affect the outcome. Instead of feeling frustrated, reframe your approach. Think, "I'm grateful for this job that will support my family and allow me to invest in my passion." This shift in energy can make a significant difference.
For self-entrepreneurs, social media can be a challenging arena. Many believe everyone sees their posts and emails, but the reality is different. Only a small percentage of followers see your content, which is why consistency and creativity are key. Don't spend hours perfecting a single piece of content. Instead, show up regularly, be playful, and keep your messaging varied.
Check your analytics to understand your reach and engagement. This helps you stay grounded and realistic about your efforts. Your energy and belief in yourself are crucial. If you feel defeated or believe people don't want to work with you, that energy will influence your outcomes. I've been doing this for nine years, and I still have moments of doubt. But I remind myself to comfort my inner child and stay focused on my work and belief in my abilities.
Investing in yourself is crucial. Whether through mentors, healers, or courses, this investment helps you grow, heal, and achieve your goals. Trying to do it all alone can lead to burnout and frustration. If you're ready for change and growth, consider joining a program that offers the support and guidance you need.
I'm currently enrolling for my Soulful Entrepreneur Mentorship, starting this week. This program is designed to help you grow your business with step-by-step guidance, covering strategy, marketing, mindset, and technology. It's a three-month intensive program with live sessions, Slack support, and additional coaching from my assistant, Cynthia.

It's my most accessible program, designed to be affordable while providing the high-quality coaching and support you need.
Mindset is everything. It's the foundation of your success. Whether you're looking for a new job, growing your business, or just trying to show up more consistently, your mindset plays a critical role. Check in with yourself, reframe your thoughts, and approach your goals with a positive, supportive energy.
