The Prosperous Healer's Path™:  12 Steps to Manifesting a Thriving Business

Step One:  Investigate and Start Clearing Inner Resistance Affecting Your Relationship With Money and Your Business.

Inner resistance, in the form of limiting beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns, is the underlying saboteur that will limit your business success, if not addressed.  It can block you from hearing your own inner wisdom and cause you to undercommit to your success, resist learning business skills, procrastinate on taking action, take action ineffectively, play "small" and not value your services and your time appropriately.  The good news is that once you know what resistant mental and emotional patterns are affecting your relationship with money and your business, you have the power to transform them.

In this module, you'll:

 

  • discover the most common limiting beliefs, thoughts and feelings that affect healers and the progress of their businesses;  
     
  • identify the top limiting beliefs, thoughts and feelings that are affecting you and your business;  and        
     
  • learn a simple tool you can use to process and release limiting patterns that arise as you move towards your goals.

Step Two:  Connect With Your Higher Guidance and the Higher Purpose of Your Business.

To create a prosperous and fulfilling business, one of the most important skills you'll need is the ability to tune into and follow your Higher Guidance on a regular basis.  Opening to your own inner wisdom will also help you discern the Higher Purpose of your business.  By listening to your Higher Guidance and focusing on fulfilling your Higher Purpose, you'll have access to inspiration and spiritual power that will make building your business much easier and more joyful.

In this module, you'll:

 

  • distinguish between inner messages that come from the ego (fear) and ones that come from your Higher Self (love); 
     
  • develop daily business practices that keep you connected to the wisdom of your Higher Self; 
     
  • deepen your ability to take "external" information and evaluate it using your inner wisdom; and
     
  • discern or confirm the Higher Purpose of your business. 

Step Three: Identify Your Authentic Community and Discern Your Community's Needs.

 

Identifying your authentic community (otherwise known as your target market or niche) is an important preliminary step to take on the Prosperous Healer's Path.  It will inform all of your subsequent business-building activities.  In particular, it will help you direct and use your energy more efficiently and effectively for marketing your offerings and serving your clients. 


In this module, you'll:

 

  • identify and work through any blocks preventing you from being able to "receive" your authentic community;  
     
  • become conscious of who your authentic clients are – the group of people you're intended to serve, who are vibrationally-aligned with your work; and  
     
  • determine the challenge(s) you're meant to help them surmount and the core benefit you're meant to provide through your services.

Step Four:  Create an Inspired Brand and Articulate Your Magnetic Marketing Message For Your Community.

 

Creating an Inspired Brand™ and a compelling marketing message for your community are vital to client attraction.  An inspired brand and marketing message come from your heart and your head, and capture a magnetic vision that draws your community members to you.  They express the unique benefits and features of your offerings and their value to your community members.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • come to understand branding, the different parts of a Magnetic Marketing Message™ and how these fit together;  
     
  • express your Inspired Brand™, core benefit statement, unique selling proposition and specific results affirmation, using your authentic voice; and   
     
  • integrate these components together into your own Inspired Brand™ and Magnetic Marketing Message™ for your healing business.

Step Five:  Set Key Intentions and Objectives For Serving Your Community and Building a Prosperous Business.

 

Consciously setting intentions and objectives for serving your community and building a prosperous business is a powerful way of activating the creative support of universal energy.  It's also the first step in creating an Inspired Business Plan™ and will bring focus, clarity and inspiration to your business development strategies and actions.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • distinguish the difference between intentions and objectives;  
     
  • define your intentions and objectives for serving your authentic community and building a prosperous business; and   
     
  • harness the power of your intentions and objectives. 

Step Six:  Envision and Develop an Inspired Business Model™ With Multiple Streams of Service and Income, Including a Core Service or Product.

An Inspired Business Model™ is infused with the energy of service originating from your connection to your community members and the Higher Purpose of your business.  This business model revolves around a core suite of offerings that allow you to serve more of your community members, in different ways, while leveraging your time and increasing your revenue flow.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • learn what an Inspired Business Model™ is and what it can look like;  
     
  • create your own Inspired Business Model™; and    
     
  • identify your ideal core service or product.

Step Seven:  Price Your Services and Products With Ease and Grace.

 

Besides selling, pricing is the most emotionally-charged aspect of business-building, particularly for spiritually-oriented wellness professionals who have been conditioned to "give selflessly".  Pricing represents receiving, which is the completion of a proposed energy exchange between you and your prospective clients.  From a spiritual perspective, pricing is an act of love – a way of honouring your worth and valuing your offerings, so that you can provide great value to those you serve.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • identify and shift any limiting beliefs and feelings you may be holding about pricing your offerings and receiving;  
     
  • determine the value of your services and products with ease and grace; and      
     
  • evaluate your current offerings and their prices and revise them (if necessary) to reflect an Inspired Business Model™.

Step Eight: Research Where Your Community Congregates in Large Numbers.

 

Determining where your community congregates en masse is vital information. When you know where to find your prospective clients in large numbers, you can develop strategies for connecting through these venues that will leverage your time and gifts.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • discover three main reasons why people "hang out" in particular groups;  
     
  • learn how to research the places where your community congregates in large numbers; and     
     
  • choose the venues for connecting that resonate most with you.

Step Nine:  Build Heart-Centered Relationships With Your Community Members Using Methods That Are Fun and Natural for You.

 

Once you've identified where you can find your community members in large numbers, you're ready to move into connection with them.  Heart-centered marketing revolves around building sincere and authentic relationships with your community with an attitude of service.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • embody the principles of heart-centered marketing and connect with your community members metaphysically, before you connect on the physical plane;  
     
  • learn how to use six powerful methods for effectively connecting and building relationships with your community members (i.e., "marketing strategies") -- speaking, writing, complimentary sessions, the internet, live and social networking and partnerships; and     
     
  • discern which methods are most authentic for you and your community and design your own relationship-building plan as part of your Inspired Business Plan™.

Step Ten:  Offer Your Services and Products to Your Community in an Authentic, Loving and Inviting Way. 

 

Like "money", "selling" is a word that has a lot of mental and emotional baggage attached to it.  For some, it represents a process that involves pushing, forcing, manipulating and coercing.  However, authentic selling is about "flow" rather than "force" and its true purpose is to help your community members raise their energy vibration. When you offer your services and products from this orientation, your community members feel good – even, joyful – and want more of you and what you offer.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • release your fear about selling;  
     
  • learn how to "seed" and authentically invite prospective clients to purchase your offerings; and       
     
  • determine the vehicles through which you can extend invitations to your community members.

Step Eleven:  Set Targets for Your Business and Clarify Your Financial Inflow and Outflow.

 

When you set targets for your business and clarify your business's financial inflow and outflow on paper, you empower yourself and ground your heart energy in an intentional way in the physical world.  Also, you come to see that the financial aspects of your business aren't just about buying and selling, but are about exchanging life energy and experiencing joy in all your transactions.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • become more adept at managing the financial aspects of your business;  
     
  • complete your written Inspired Business Plan™ by setting revenue targets and expense projections;       
     
  • buy and sell more consciously; and   
     
  • deepen your sense of abundance and your ability to circulate this abundance.

Step Twelve:  Release On Your Goals and Operate From Faith, Trust and Love. 

 

Spiritual tools and energetic alignment techniques such as prayer, visualization, affirmations and releasing are integral parts of an Inspired Business Plan™.   They'll help you operate your business from a consciousness of faith, trust and love, activating the invisible power of your soul.  The result will be an increase in your financial bottom line, as well as more joy, opportunities, support and fulfillment than you could ever imagine.

 

In this module, you'll:

 

  • develop a regular practice of prayer, visualization, affirmations, releasing and/or other spiritual tools to support your business's progress;  
     
  • deepen your faith and your ability to surrender and trust that you can create a prosperous healing business and that you are supported in this process; and         
     
  • move into inspired action.
