A client’s business was doing great when suddenly her success screeched to a halt with only one completed transaction in nearly six months!
Being someone who looks on the positive side, she regularly reported having several deals that were pending or appeared to be sure bets. However, it turned out that each one fell apart for one reason or another.
To top it off, she gave several, well-received marketing presentations that were supposed to bring referrals, but that didn’t work out.
While talking about it during a 1:1 session, she connected the dots.
Her momentum stopped the same month she became the leader of a service group that helps people who are, shall I say, challenged in their housing situations.
In addition to their poverty thinking, she noticed that when her group is together, their conversations drift into drama about their lives.
Add to this a new boss who complains a lot, which motivates my client to schedule appointments so she and her manager are together in the office as little as possible.
At the end of our session together, she realized she had to take better care of her energy.
Three days later during her mastermind team meeting by phone, she shared the following.
Instead of driving with others to do their charitable work, and thinking about butterflies and rainbows to tune out their whining, she took care of herself by driving her own car.
She said, “We have to guard our energy as if our life depends on it, because it does.”
The following day, only four days after her aha moments and after months of setbacks, I received her enthusiastic voicemail.
“I want to let you know it has been a fantastic, fantastic day.”
- “I met a client last night after we got off our call. He submitted all his documentation immediately, and he’s ready for approval.”
- Another client of hers had a significant issue that miraculously got resolved, so his deal is moving along.
- Another woman’s deal is now in the process of closing, too.
- Plus, she received a call to present to 35 professionals in her target market.
She ignited her momentum by releasing other people’s negative energy and being more attentive to taking care of her own.
Her mastermind team member commented, “The energy of others weaves its way into our lives.”
Wallace D. Wattles wrote in his classic book The Science of Getting Rich, “Get rich; that is the best way you can help the poor. And you cannot hold the mental image which is to make you rich if you fill your mind with pictures of poverty.”
Poverty can come in many forms, such as money, spirit, focus, associations, confidence and beliefs.
Pay attention to the energy others are weaving in your life. How can you take better care of your energy? What unseen energy of others might be taking a toll on you and your finances?
Wondering what to do about it? Ask your Essence. It has your “soulution.”
With gratitude,
