Coaching Mindset & Business

When is the right time to quit your job?

Is it the right time to go all in on your coaching business?

 

Fiona, a wellness coach for new mums shares “I had a very successful first month as a coach, but I didn’t feel ready to hand my notice in right away.”

 

For many working women, becoming a coach is the chance to step away from careers they are not passionate about and to do something more fulfilling.

 

Fiona adds, “For me, it was about two things – finding joy in my work and the freedom. I’d built a good career within accounting but truthfully, the work didn’t spark joy.

 

I also was getting fed up with the daily commute, long hours and very limited time off. I loved the idea that as a coach, I could really work to my own schedule.”

 

But when is it realistically possible to make that transition? 

“Start saving your income made from coaching to use as a safety net.”

Fiona continues: “I wanted to see some sort of consistency first. 
I also wanted to build up a buffer of income so that if I had a quiet month, I would have income to fall back on. 
I spent five months coaching alongside full-time work. 
Normally I would coach in the evenings or at weekends.
 It was challenging but doing this allowed me to build up a pot of almost £15,000 which meant I felt comfortable then stepping away from my full-time employment.”

Dani from The Clique shares that the confidence to take the leap of faith comes from your mindset.

 

“Within three months of launching my coaching business, I was already making enough money to quit my job. 
 
But just seeing that evidence alone wasn’t enough to give me that confidence – I also had to reprogram my beliefs about my ability to create money consistently. 

 

Through money mindset work, I trained myself to fully believe that money would continue to pour in.

 

 
I released my beliefs around making money being a struggle and instead, replaced that narrative with “my business continues to grow month on month”

 

I created new beliefs that I could make money doing something I loved, and it wouldn’t take me years to achieve this.

 

What you fully believe something, this then becomes what your experience. 

 

If I didn’t believe in the future success of my business, I would have continued to stay in my comfort zone and in the safety net of my job”

“Get paid as you train”

Lisa, a coach for burned out executives shares: “I started taking on paying clients whilst I was still training.
 
Whilst it was just one off sessions that I was charging £80 for, it gave me the confidence that people were willing to invest in me.
By the time I was fully certified many of those clients wanted to continue working with me in my premium coaching program. 
This really helped me feel confident I could create a consistent income through coaching as I had already built up a solid client base.

“Start on the business side of things as you train.”

 
Lisa adds, “whilst you are getting certified, start working on your business and building up an audience.
 
 
I was petrified of social media at first and didn’t have a clue how to use it, but it’s amazing how quickly you pick things up. 
 
Start even if you don’t feel ready as it helps you to view yourself as a professional coach rather than someone who is just doing it for a hobby. 
 
It also means you don’t launch your business to nobody. 
 
I had been building up an audience slowly as I went through the certification meaning but the time I was ready to work with paying clients, I had people there I’d already built connections with.
 
This helped me to then make money sooner and therefore more confident in quitting my job. 
 

“The Universe will always support you when you are following your authentic path”

Ellie, a Manifestation Coach for creatives shares “When you have faith in yourself and are brave enough to leap into the unknown, it’s amazing how many ways the universe shows up to support you.
I remember thinking “what happens if the clients dry up and I stop making money!!
But that never happened and The Universe had always delivered.
Clients often seemed to appear from nowhere and the money began to flow.
When you commit to your dreams, miracles happen”

Knowing when to raise your prices as a coach

Some of the highest paid coaches in the world can command six figures for a year long program. 

 

Whilst for many new coaches, that may seem way out of reach, under-earning and undercharging as a coach needn’t be the case.

Alice, a relationship coach for corporate women shares how charging a premium fee didnt happen overnight but was something that increased gradually with her confidence. 

At first, I was still unsure of myself as a coach as I was still learning a lot of the skills and refining my program. 

But once I’d got certified and had practised my coaching alongside professional experts, I started to realise just how valuable what I had to offer really was.

In the space of a year, I went from charging £70 for a 1:1 session, to selling out my 12 week group coaching program that I charged £3000 per person for. I’d been struggling to get even close to my £10k a month goal, but raising my prices helped me to generate £30k in just one month.

 

The coaching industry is booming right now, with demand for coaches being greater than ever.

But does this demand automatically mean that coaches can charge more?

Dani Watson, founder of The Clique shares her thoughts

It all starts with confidence in your abilities.

Being able to command a premium fee for your services starts with knowing you’re able to provide a premium service and recognise your own worth and value as a coach. 

You have to be great at what you do, which means getting certified through a comprehensive training program that gives you expert guidance from professional coaches. 

If you are confident you can get your clients results, you will be confident in charging higher rates.

Once our members are fully certified, they can charge anything from £2k upwards for a 12 week program. We have some coaches who now command £10k plus for their high end offers. They are able to do so because the results they have been getting for their clients speak volumes. 

 

Also know that charging the top fees may not happen right away.

It’s normal that when  your first start out and are still learning that you charge a lower rate.

Typically, our members that are still training may offer a one off session for around £50-£100 an hour.

This helps them then get into the right mindset to receive money for their high end coaching program once they launch it.

Because they’ve already been charging for their services, they have already seen evidence of people willing to invest in them which helps them with their confidence selling at a higher level.

Becky, a coach for burned out corporate executives explains how she fell into the trap of undercharging for her programs, but now easily commands up to £15k for her programs.

 

“I started to realise that what I was charging for was not my time or my years of experience.”

“Clients pay you for a transformation. For a client, the quicker they can experience the breakthrough the better, which is why my 4 week intense breakthrough program is a five figure investment. I did question whether people would actually pay this at first, but my first two discovery calls with potentials said yes to me and paid during my first phone call with them.”

Liz, a wellness coach for women adds that it’s also about knowing where to find the people who see the value of the investment.

“I was initially wary of raising my rates as I’d been struggling with people telling me they couldn’t afford my services.

I realised that your prices will always be too high if you aren’t connecting with the right people.

I had been attracting the wrong people who didn’t necessarily see the value in what I offered.

The business section of the coach training gave guidance on where I should be looking to find those who are actually looking for a coach. 

Once I started to find and connect with these people, selling at a premium fee became easy.

Dani adds that pricing is also a mindset shift. 

You can be the best coach in the world, but if you lack self belief or have a lot of negative views around money, you may find yourself struggling to charge the prices you deserve to be charging. 

I really struggled with imposter syndrome when I first started out, and this played out as “who am I to be charging these prices” 

I also had a lot of limiting beliefs around money such as “it’s greedy to want more”. 

 

It took a lot of self worth and money mindset work to really see myself as someone who deserved to be paid a premium fee and for me to believe that receiving that kind of money was a good thing. 

I now realise that the more I am able to earn as coach, the more I can reinvest into my coaching and my business, meaning I can ultimately serve my clients in a more powerful way. 

Pricing your programs as a coach may seem as simple as figuring out what other similarly qualified coaches are charging, but really, what you charge is largely tied to what you believe about yourself, what you believe about money and what you believe about people’s willingness to invest.

Our Favourite Ways to Monetise Coaching

 

Whether it’s 1:1 coaching, group coaching, VIP days, Luxury Retreats, guest speaking, Corporate Workshops, publishing a book or getting paid to sponsor posts on your podcast, there are endless ways you can monetise a coaching business. 

We recently caught up with our coaches to find out which way they prefer and which has been the most lucrative…..

 

Jenny: Self Love & Wellness Coach for Mamas

“I had been working with clients 1:1 for a year, and I realised that I had reached my full capacity.

I knew I didn’t want to coach more than 10 hours per week. I wanted to respect my own boundaries and still have energy for other things such as my family, self-care, seeing friends and other projects within my business.

Group coaching allowed me to serve more women, create more of an income and actually work a lot less.

I love the energy that comes with coaching in a group. The community that evolves and the support the women give each other is incredible.” 

 

Lauren: Mindset Coach for Entrepreneurs

“The retreats part of my business is probably my least profitable given the costs involved.

My last retreat, I made around £5k profit for the week (and my costs for the trip were also covered).

But it’s not always about the money. Hosting retreats has always been such a dream of mine and I love being able to travel to incredible destinations and call it work.

Retreats have been such a fun way to connect with my clients and have amazing experiences together. It’s also lovely seeing the women make amazing friendships!”

Julia: Success & Money Coach 

There is something special about being able to connect 1:1 with a client in person. 

My VIP days are a $1000 investment (excluding any travel/accommodation) but the breakthroughs that can happen within just one day have been incredible. 

Clients witness the kind of transformations that can sometimes takes weeks to achieve online. I like to incorporate something special into the day that we can do together to celebrate the client’s progress. 

This could be time at a spa, a beautiful lunch, a personal branding photo shoot with my photographer or my favourite thing I’ve done so far was a helicopter ride! 

 

Dani: Self Love & Law of Attraction Coach & Founder of The Clique

I had always dreamt of being a published author and I couldn’t wait to share everything I had learned about self love and the Law of Attraction since becoming a coach. 

Writing a book has been a great way for me to reach a wider audience and a lot of my clients are people who first discovered me through my book. 

It’s so rewarding to get messages from women telling them how the book has changed my life. 

I didn’t really think about my book as a way to make money, so the income has been an added bonus and a true reminder that when you do the thing you love, the money will always follow. 

For anyone who would like to get a copy of the book you can currently find it on Amazon – it’s called Self Love & Spiritual Alchemy.

How to transform your money mindset – Part Two

Hello Ladies!

So this is the second part of the how to transform your money story blogs. So in part one, I gave you a bit of an overview of what your money story is, how your money mindset alter your financial reality and what the steps are to change your money story. So I want to go into some of these steps in more detail for you.

Where I want to start, is what is keeping you stuck financially? So your beliefs create your reality, and this is true also when it comes to money. What you believe about money shapes what you experience in your financial world. So if you believe that is greedy to be rich or it is greedy to be money motivated, you will find yourself constantly self-sabotaging when it comes to making money because there is a part of you that wouldn’t want to be seen as greedy. So how I have seen this play out in our students is that they will self sabotage when it comes to selling themselves. So we work with women who are building a coaching business and a big part of getting paid for clients is selling yourself and we often see women holding themselves back on things like, putting themselves out there or making an announcement on their services and inviting people on discover calls with them, because they are so afraid of selling themselves. A big part of this is linked to this belief that is greedy to be driven by money. Often we hear women say that they feel bad for charging a certain amount for their services and again it is often linked back to this belief that is not a good thing to want more money in your life. So where do these beliefs come from? Because for us to change this belief system around money we first need to bring those negative beliefs to the surface, and a good place to look is what you experienced when you were younger. The majority of our subconscious programming is formed between the ages of 0-7. So at these ages your brain will be very receptive on everything that is going on around you. So the things you hear, see, are shown, and experienced as a child, you are like a sponge and absorb this. What you are shown as a child becomes apart of your belief system. So let’s say you constantly see your parents going out and working hard for their money, that is going to teach you that making money is hard work. Therefore, you will believe this. This will soon become the normal, seeing this over and over again. So it is a good idea to think about what you were taught as a child on a subconscious level. Perhaps look at not just what you were taught by your friends or family but by teachers. Often we have this connection between making money and working hard, and this is reinforced in our school environment, where we are taught that if you want to grow up and get a good job where you are making lots of money you have to work hard now. You have to work hard at this exam, you have to work hard at school, and this is definitely reinforced again when we enter the workforce especially for people who find themselves in the corporate world.

I definitely found this in my experience in working in the cooperate world where I saw people who were at the top of their careers in these leadership roles, but then I also saw the sacrifice they had to make to get there. I saw women who sacrificed times with their families, I saw pre-dominaitly men in those leadership roles because it was like women couldn’t have both. They couldn’t be a leader and spend time with their family. So those patterns show up all through our life and it is therefore no wonder that we have this great deep belief that making money needs to be hard work. A big part of changing your money story is going back into these experiences and identifying what has these experiences led you to believe about money. When you start to peel back the layers what is really going on beneath the surface.

Now what was really interesting when I started to do this work on myself around money is that a lot of my experiences around money were directly linked to my sense of worth. So it wasn’t just my money beliefs that were effecting my finances, it was the beliefs I had about myself and what I was worth. I also see this with a lot of our clients we work with that their self worth is a direct reflection of their net worth. What they are able to bring to their lives financially often is to do with what they believe about themselves. So just as example, a big part of my money experiences was me spending like a women possessed going out and shopping, and when I really started digging into why I was falling into this pattern of behaviour it was to really fill the void and emptiness I felt about myself. So at the time I was in a career that I just didn’t want to be in, I felt really unfulfilled and really lost, but also was angry at myself that I couldn’t figure out what it is I wanted to do. I was also in a relationship that was really knocking my confidence, I had my doubts that he was cheating on me and that again was making me lose my confidence. So there is no coincidence that at this time not only did my self worth feel low, my finances were also very low. So coming onto changing my beliefs, it wasn’t just my beliefs about money I needed to change, it was my beliefs about myself. I needed to work on my own self worth so I could also change my finances. I had to start believing that I was worthy and deserving of more abundance in my life. Not just abundance in terms of money, but I had to believe that I was worth more luck, respect and a better career. When I really started to do that and do this work on myself in this sense of worth, it started to really have this knock on effect on my finances as well. So when it comes to your beliefs, yes you want to identify what do you believe about money but also about yourself and the world around you. Once you have brought those beliefs to the surface, it is then time to do the work to transform those beliefs, replace them with a new set of beliefs that match the money reality you want to create. So what do you need to believe about money in order to have more money in your life in the way you want it. What do you need to do yourself so that you believe you are worthy and deserving of making more money.

And that is actually a great place to start when it comes to belief worth. To change your beliefs, you first want to know what are you changing your beliefs to. So ask yourself who already has that money you desire, what does she believe and what does she believe about money about herself, and the world around her. So you need to believe that you are worthy of huge amounts of financial abundance and believe you are capable of making lots of money. This is the thing, beliefs are often not based upon any sort of fact. For something to be factual it has to be 100% true for 100% of the time for 100% of all people and often the beliefs that we have we perceive them to be a fact when actually they aren’t based upon any concrete evidence. Most of beliefs are just ideas that we have adopted from our parents, society or other people that have raised us. We then take these beliefs as gospel. We allow them to shape our lives and this is a really important step when changing your belief system because to you should start challenging what you believe. Do I actually believe this? Why do I believe this? If other people are experiencing something different to what I believe, is that not possible for me to believe that as well. If my beliefs have simply been adopted from other people can I not start to adopt to the beliefs of people who have created a financially reality that I want to create. So if I can see other people out creating money and it is fun, joyful and easy they must believe that making money is fun, easy and joyful. If they can believe that, can I not adopt that belief and that truth as my belief, rather than take my belief as gospel how can I start challenging my beliefs. Remember what we believe is our choice. We don’t have our beliefs programmed in our minds and are stuck with them. We have a choice over what we can believe. We can choose what we want to believe.

So ask yourself the question. Do I want to choose to believe this? Or do I want to believe something else?

Empower yourself by realising you have a choice over what you believe. Now I am not going to say that it is going to be easy to make the choice to believe something new, especially when it is a belief you have had for many years. Often our beliefs become so much our a truth they often become a part of our identity and that’s where things become a little bit challenging because it is not just about letting go of our beliefs but letting go of part of our identity. So for example, one of my beliefs that I have really worked to change was that making money needs to be hard work and the reason why it was so difficult to challenge that belief is because not only did I believe that making money was hard work but working hard had become a part of my identity. Therefore, to let go of this felt uncomfortable, because it was going to mean letting go of part of my identity. But what is important right now is just to know that you do have a choice. You can choose what you want to believe.

A good little exercise to help you ‘try on’ your new beliefs is by stopping in a checking yourself and saying ‘If I believed this right now, will things look different?’. So maybe you are about to do a task and you say if I believed that making money was really easy how am I going to shown up to this task differently, or ‘if I believed that it was a really good thing to be money motivated how may I show up today differently?’. So start trying on those new beliefs.

Now there are lots of different coaching tools that I love to use with our students to help them with their beliefs and re-wire their minds so that they can adopt a new set of beliefs for themselves, NLP, Meditation, Affirmations, Journalling, Emotional Freedom Technique, these are all great tools to help place your current belief system with new belief system that matches the financial reality that you want to create.

But, let’s move on to energy. So if you remember from my intro we are a magnet to the things we are a vibrational match too. Often we hold onto negative energy which causes us to repel money from coming into our lives. So from my experience, my negative energy money energy was really to do with my debts. So I got myself into a hefty amount of credit card debt and when I started my business I was having so much resentment towards myself. I was so angry at myself because I kept saying ‘this is so annoying because if I hadn’t spent this money on my credit card I would have so much more money to invest now into my business. I did invest into myself and into my business but it meant having to put even more money on credit cards because I didn’t have the money just sat there in my bank account. So I was annoyed at myself and that negative energy in relation to my debts was causing me to act it as an abundance blog. So I needed to release this negative energy.

I now want to give you an example of how this negative energy works. This really helped me understand it a little bit more. So imagine that your energy in it’s purest form, imagine it is this bubble in this bright light energy surrounding you, and when your energy is in it’s purest form that’s when the universe can very easily send you things and can get through this pure white light energy and send you various manifestations. Now let’s imagine now that your energy field is clogged with this negative energy, and on that that bright white bubble you have got these black smudges of dark negative energy and when the universe try’s to send you gifts the dark energy repels the gifts of the universe. That is how it was taught to me and that helped me understand how this negative energy works.

So in order for us to understand to how be more open to receiving more from the universe we need to get rid of these dark clouds on our energy field. This is where energy healing comes into play. Releasing that negative energy. The one thing I found helped me with releasing the negative energy I had with prior debts was forgiving myself for how I reacted around money. So this is something you may need to do actually forgiving yourself or someone else. For example, I had a client I was working with, and she had handed over all of her power and financial power to a man who completely took advantage of her financially and then who left her in a bad financial state and she was angry at herself but also at him. So she had to do a lot of work forgiveness work on herself but also towards him. So forgiveness work for me and many of my clients is very powerful when it comes to our money stories.

But then energy work is also about raising your vibrational frequency as well. So when you let go of any negative energy you are holding onto how do you start to raise your vibrational frequency so it matches the frequency of wealth. I want to talk to you about one powerful thing that you can do, by showing up as if the money was already present. How would you show up today if you were financially already where you wanted to be? Now to do this 24/7, that is going to be a big ask for you, especially if you are new to this energy work. So just to get things started, even for the rest of the day if you can, be really intentional about how you show up if the money was already in your life. So let’s just start with your thoughts. So how you go about your life for the next few hours, be mindful about what you are thinking about, and ask yourself would I be thinking about this if I was already wealthy? Maybe you have already noticed that you spend a lot of your time thinking about that you don’t have enough money. You are thinking from this place of lack, but to align your energy to the version of you that already has the money, how may you be thinking differently. How can you change those thoughts of lack, into thoughts of abundance. So how can you practice gratitude for what you want, as if it was already present in your life. So being thankful for the money you already have as if it is already present.

I think this is a great place to start, by paying attention to what you are thinking about. Do your current thought align with the version of you that already has money? If not, how can you change what you are thinking about to reflect the version of you that already has more money.

Let’s think of a figure you would be excited to see sat in your bank account today, what would you be thinking right now if it was present today? Just focus on your thoughts. Start with your thoughts and then you can start moving into, how would I be acting? What choices would I be making? How would I be feeling? Be intentional. Let’s say your feeling broke, would you be feeling broke if you had the money? Of course not? Allow yourself to feel the feelings of abundance right now. You may be thinking, Dani how do I feel abundant if my physical world is showing me something different? There are really small things we can do and they don’t have to cost money. In fact your imagination is a powerful thing. Can you connect very vividly with the version of you that already has money so much so you can feel those emotions right now.

Something I love to do when I need that boost of my vibrations is I connect with the future version of me that already has the money I want to manifest. Use your imagination to create those emotions. Or those little subtle shifts you can do to your environment. What can you do in your current environment to make it feel more abundant? It could be small like having a scented candle lit, or making sure your home is clean and tidy.

Now in part three I will go into taking inspired action. How to take inspired action towards your money goals, and to also how to actually surrender to the universe so you can start receiving money into your life with ease and flow.

How to transform your money mindset – Part One

Hello Ladies!

This will be the first part of three blogs because the topic I am going to be diving into, is a pretty juicy one! So the topic I want to touch upon with you is money. I am sure a lot of you reading this right now, want to make more money in your life. You want to create more abundance, more wealth and I am also going to guess that you want to make money in a way that feels good. You don’t just want to have millions in the bank, but to have to sacrifice a lot to have that kind of money. To miss out on time with your family and time with your loved ones, to have to completely exhaust yourself having to reach your income goals.

So money has been a big part of my story. When I first started my business, I really didn’t have a lot of money, in fact I had less than any money because I was in debt. For those of you that has experienced being in debt I am sure you will know that it places this huge emotional weight over your shoulders. At the time I was blaming my finances on a lot of external things.

I at the time was living in London, so I would always say London is just so expensive, rent is so expensive, this is why I am broke. I would also blame the fact that I was a shopaholic. I would say I just can’t help myself, I just go shopping all the time and I spend whatever I have. I would also blame the fact that I didn’t get paid enough, I needed to have a certain income, I felt like my income wasn’t matching what I needed and so I was blaming all of these things that are external to me as to why my financial situation looked the way it did. Just to give you an idea of what the state my finances were in I was around £20,000 worth in debt.

Now, I just want to take a second to contrast that with what my finances are today, and this is largely down to the money mindset work that I have done. So remember that place where I said I was in £20,000 worth in debt, not only that my living situation wasn’t great either, my partner and I lived in a flat with way to many flat mates and we lived in the living room. My partner was only earning £3.50 an hour as an apprentice, and so financially we was not in a good place.

Fast forward to today and thankfully things have changed. In fact my business today generates around the six-figure mark per month, so that’s £100,000 per month and some months it can be more than that. So just as an example, the month that has just passed we made £150,000, however some months can be under but it is always usually around that figure. This is per month so is definitely a huge shift from where we were to where we are now. Of course there are lots of things that I have done to get here, and lots of action steps I have taken. However, I know that it is the reason for my money mindset that has been the change of my finances. This is why it has become a huge part of the work that I do with our students in The Clique Academy because money mindset factors hugely into this. Making money is not just about what you do it is largely about what you think, what you believe and what your energy is saying.

I am going to give you an overview of money mindset work and what it is all about. Where I want to start with this, is the basic principles of The Law Of Attraction. Our beliefs and our energy create our reality. However you are showing up energetically is going to dictate what you are going to experience in your physical world.

Now, let’s start with beliefs. A lot of people will think they believe certain things around money, in that they will think ‘I believe I want to have more money’ or ‘I believe I want to be rich’. So they have these surface ideas of what they believe they think about money, but these are just conscious beliefs. But beliefs form into two parts. Conscious surface beliefs and the hidden subconscious, and these are often beliefs that we have had from a very young age that have been locked into our subconscious mind that we perhaps aren’t even aware that they exist. Often when we start digging our way around our beliefs about money, we start to identify some of these hidden beliefs. We realise that the beliefs that we have perhaps do not match the reality that we want to create.

So let me give you an example- How many of you as a child heard the phrase ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’, or maybe you experienced something in your childhood that made you feel that money is scarce, that there was a lack of money or maybe you have been taught that being money motivated is greedy. These are actually examples from my money story and the stories from my clients of things that they have led to believe about money. So these things we hear from, parents, teachers or society, especially when it is something that is taught to us at a young age it can become apart of our belief system without us becoming aware of it. So then later in adult life, we find ourselves self-sabotaging when it comes to money, perhaps repelling money, making decsions that hinder our finances and we wonder why this has happened and it is because of this deeply engraved belief system.

So let’s say for example as a child you experienced your father working really hard and sacrificing a lot of his family time, in order to make money. From that experience it shaped your belief system, so seeing that over and over again led you to believe that making money is hard work. What do you think happens when you move into your adult life and say I want to create more money for myself. If you really believe that making money is hard work, you are going to recreate that in your reality where you will be trying to make money but it will constantly feel like it is hard work.

You will create experience for yourself when making money becomes hard work and it becomes harder than what it needs to be, because your reality will automatically match your belief system. What may also happen is that people may sabotage when it comes to making money and hold themselves back because a part of them doesn’t want to have to work hard, they don’t want to experience the burnout.

This is something that I noticed in my life and when I came into my business a big part of me wanted to create more freedom. I wanted to changed my finances but I also wanted to create more freedom for myself. I found myself very quickly going back to these same patterns of working really hard, burnout,overwhelmed. Even though I was in control of my own workload and was in control of when I worked, how many hours I worked, how much time I gave to my business and even though I was completely in control of that I still found myself in these same patterns of working really hard to the point where I was feeling exhausted. But of course it was because my belief system was creating this reality.

So this is a big part of money mindset and is about identifying what are your beliefs about money. A lot of us come into this world and think of course I want to be rich, but it is only when we start peeling back the layers and only really going into the deep routed subconscious that we realise that we have all of these negative beliefs around money.

So the question you need to ask yourself is ‘What do I need to believe about money if I want to have more money in my life and I also want to make money in a way that feels really good?’.

So coming back to that belief around making money has to be hard work, you may want to manifest more money into your life and I am sure you want that to be an inspiring process that leaves you feeling empowered not burned out. Therefore you need to believe that making money can be fun and joyful. You have to believe that if you want to make it into your reality.

So beliefs shape your reality but as I said so does your energy. We are all made up of energy, money is energy, humans are energy and we all have our own vibrational frequency. If you were to look at your hand under a powerful microscope you will see that it is not solid and it is made up of vibrating particles. Between these particles are energy and this is our frequency and everything vibrates at a different frequency. Either low or high, and we magnetize everything into our life’s everything that we are a vibrational match to. So if we are vibrating in a positive frequency we are going to attract people, things, experiences, money into our life. So when it comes to changing our finances, we have to be vibrating at the frequency of the wealth that we want to attract. Now if you are new to this work you may be thinking what is this and to be honest when I first started that is what I was thinking, until I started to pay attention to it and I could see the changes. From changing my energy the finances started to change.

So I am going to go into this in much more detail in other blogs to come, but for now I just want to explain the two different types of energy and how this comes into play. We all vibrate and we all have a frequency but often what can happen is we can hold on to that negative energy that causes us to repel money coming into our lives. So when we are talking about negative money energy, this might mean when you have had a bad relationship with money, that memory you hold onto can look like negative energy you store in your body.

So from my experience my debts were a big part of my money story and what this debt looked like to me was shame and guilt. I was blaming myself for how I had reacted to my finances and those emotions are low frequency emotions. I therefore had to let go of that negative energy so I could open myself up for receiving more. That is one part of the energy work and the second part is raising your vibration, so you become a vibrational match to wealth.

This was something that took me a while to get used to but this is again something that I will go into on further down the line in these blogs. But it is really about aligning your thought, beliefs and energy to the higher version of you that has already manifested the money that she wants to attract. When you can master that the gates will open for you to the point where you wonder where it has been all along. It will start to feel like money is following effortlessly and easily into your life to the point where you think why didn’t I discover this work sooner.

Going from the place of being in a massive amount of debt to now my company making £100,000 per month that is a pretty big shift and this has largely to do with my beliefs and shifts around money and energy. In fact I would say 90% of the changes I have made I bring it down to the mindset work I have done.

A lot of people say what did you have to do to get your business to where you want it to be and honestly it has been so little about what I have done and more about who I have been.

So I am going to go into money energy in more detail. Of course I have taken more action and this is where taking inspired action comes into it. You clearly just can’t sit in a empty room wishing about money and having this positive energy and just expect it to flow into your life, you have to be taking some inspired action. This is an action that feels good to you and action that keeps you high vibe. There is no point in doing a lot of energy work and then taking action that leaves you feeling stressed and burnt out. So for me this was my business, this is the thing I love doing and I am hugely passionate about, I love coaching and working with my clients and my business is the thing that brings me huge amounts of joy.

I have to be careful not to slip into that uninspired action by working to hard and getting myself stressed out and I have noticed there is a definite link to my finances to when I have pushed myself to hard at work. Again, this is the work done on my beliefs system, I thought that if I do more I will receive more money. But actually the harder I have worked the less money I earn. The more exhausted I am and stressed out I am by trying to do too much the less I earn in my business. There has been months where I have worked in a joyful way, lots of self love and self care, travel etc these have always been the months where I have seen the spikes in income.

Once you have done the work on your beliefs and energy and you’re taking lots of inspired actions you then have to surrender to the universe. You have to allow the universe to bring money into your life by detaching from the outcome. So a lot of people when it comes to their finances especially business owners, they will be acting from a place of ‘when is this money going to appear? and ‘What do I need to do to get to this certain outcome?’. Without realising the money flows the moment you de-tach from the outcome and the moment you show up into your business from a place of I am doing this for the pure fact that this is bringing me joy and taking inspired action therefore I trust that I am going to receive the money at exactly the moment I am meant to receive it and I am completely surrendering to that outcome and I am showing up as if this is already present in my life. This is the part of the process where everybody finds the most difficult. That fully handing things over to the universe and that the money is just around the corner and is going to show up in your life at any giving moment.

Most people aren’t very good at being patient. Let’s say there is a gap between you taking inspired action and the money showing up, within that manifestation gap and you are waiting for the money to show up, that is when most people start to question things. This is when they start to fall back into these patterns of doing more, working harder, and by doing that they are falling out of this alignment. So patience is a really big thing.

So hopefully that gives you a understanding of what money mindset is all about. It is about figuring out your beliefs around money mindset on a conscious and a subconscious level. Are you holding onto any negative energy that you need to let go of, maybe you handed your financial power over to someone else, maybe they took advantage of you financially and that’s caused negative money energy.

So letting go of that energy but then also raising your money frequency so that you are becoming that vibrational match to wealth. Taking inspired action and then surrendering to the universe, trusting that the money is already on it’s way.

You just need to sit and wait and take that inspired action and it’s going to show up.

5 coaching and healing tools for self love

Helping women strengthen their self worth has become a big part of my work over the years, with many of my clients struggling with thoughts about not being “enough”, limiting beliefs about what they are capable of and an inner mean girl that is refusing to stay quiet. 

I love to combine both traditional coaching techniques with spiritual practices and below, I share some of my favourite coaching tools and rituals to support my clients in strengthening their self love.  

Forgiveness-This is possible one of my favourite rituals which requires you to let go of any blame, shame, guilt or regret you may be holding onto when it comes to choices you have made or actions you have done.

Holding on to our past prevents us from moving into our future and forgiveness helps you cut the cord on any negative experiences you need to leave behind.

Clarity coaching – One of the skills we teach our students inside The Clique Academy (our coach certification program)  is how to support their clients in getting clear on their goals.

This is an incredibly important part of self love, as so often, we never really give ourselves the luxury of actually asking “what do I want in life” OR when we do, we often find ourselves settling or making decisions based upon what we feel we should do.

Clarity coaching involves a series of quick fire questions designed to empower a client to set goals free from fears/doubts or limiting beliefs. 

Emotional Freedom Technique –  EFT, or tapping as it is also known, is a way to clear out negative beliefs and clear any energetic blockages. It works by tapping on different meridian points whilst repeating a set of phrases. Just a few rounds of EFT can help you let go of feelings of self doubt and increase confidence and self worth. 

 Balancing the heart chakra – The heart chakra is typically associated with love, compassion, responsibility, honesty and forgiveness, especially of one’s self. A blockage in this chakra can lead to a lack of self love and low feelings of self worth.

There are a number of practices to help heal and balance a blocked heart chakra, but a simple solution is using a crystal such as Rose Quarzt alongside a loving kindness meditation.

Alternatively, use a daily mantra such as “I am loved”, said out loud whilst placing a hand over your heart. 

Speaking your authentic truth – Something we encourage all of our clients to do to help them step into their unique power is to speak their truth without fear or shame.

We all have a story and whilst it may feel like an act of self love to hide the parts of our story or ourselves that make us feel vulnerable, vulnerability equates with strength, not weakness. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable by speaking your truth and being yourself is an important act of self love.

In being unapologetic about who you are, you are claiming your worth, recognising that you are important and your words have value.

6 steps to manifesting money

Money mindset has played a massive part of my own entrepreneurial journey. 

Having spent a lot of my twenties in a vicious cycle of debt and struggling to get myself out of it, I was adamant that external circumstances were to blame. 

London is expensive.

I don’t get paid enough. 

What I failed to realise was that my financial situation was largely due to my own internal programming about money, including subconscious money beliefs and limiting beliefs about my own self worth.

This money blueprint was actually a huge reason why my bank balance did not reflect the number I wanted to see.

Coming into my business, I discovered the importance of your mindset in order to generate wealth and realised that to change my outer world financially, I would need to start with changing my inner world. 

Here is a simple six step process to this work-

Get clear on what money you would like to manifest and what that money would be used for. The more specific you can be here the better.

Simply stating “I want to be rich” is not enough. You need to let The Universe know what that figure is and, more importantly, how you will use that money once you receive it.

Identify what money beliefs are currently keeping you stuck. Your beliefs create your reality so it is important that whatever you believe about money matches the reality you want to create for yourself.

The first part to this process is figuring out what is going on for you both at a conscious and subconscious level.

Some of your negative money beliefs you may be aware of but others may be hidden in your sub-conscious mind. It’s these beliefs that are dangerous as if they remain hidden, it is impossible to do the work to change them.

Transform your limiting money beliefs and replace with a new set of money beliefs that match the reality you want to create. We manifest money based upon what we believe.

So let’s say you believe “making money is hard work”, this is what you will create in your reality. To change this reality, you must change the belief so that your new belief is “making money is easy”.

This is where various coaching tools such as NLP can be used. The beauty of NLP is that even some of the most stubborn, deep rooted sub-conscious beliefs can be transformed in a short period of time.

Raise your vibration so that you match the frequency of wealth. Just as our beliefs shape our reality, so does our energy. We are a magnet to the things we are a vibrational match to.

If you want to manifest more wealth, you will need to pay attention to your energy, specifically how you feel.

If you feel broke, you will create more scarcity and lack. Abundance comes from the feeling abundant first.

Take inspired action. You can’t just sit in an empty room and expect money to fall into your lap. Manifesting is a process of co-creating. You and The Universe have to work together.

You have to take action BUT, it must be action that maintains your high vibration. It has to be action that feels good and expansive to you, action that keeps you in alignment. 

Surrender to the process. Once you’ve done steps 1-5, it’s now time to hand things over to The Universe by letting go, trusting that you will receive exactly what you are meant to receive at exactly the right moment you are meant to receive it.

5 books that will change your life

Reading something that inspires you is a major part of the daily Goddess Ritual we implement at The Clique HQ.

It’s important that you fill your mind each day with content that lifts you up and helps raise your vibe.

Books have been an incredibly important part of my own journey and below are some of the key players that have totally changed my life. 

Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill.

This book was a complete game changer for me, so it’s no surprise that pretty much every entrepreneur I connect with also has this book on their list.

One part I love in the book is the concept of “burning your ships” so that there is no going back. I have always took huge leaps of faith when it has come to my dreams and have always committed to go all in and I think that has served me very well.

Eckhart Tolle – The Power of Now.

This book helped me heal at a time when my life was unravelling in a way that was making me feel lost, anxious and hugley lacking in my own self worth.

Connecting to the present was the thing that helped me to feel good again. 

Ask and It Is Given – Esther & Jerry Hicks.

This book opened my eyes to the power of The Universe and how we consciously co-create our reality. A must read Law of Attraction Book. 

You are a Badass – Jen Sincero.

Reading this book was so refreshing as it combines Law of Attraction with a tonne of humour and relatable stories. I devoured this book in a matter of days.

The Miracle Morning – Hal Elrod.

Since reading this book, I’ve changed the way I wake up in a morning forever.

I’ve slightly adapted his Miracle Morning routine to create my own routine which I call “The Goddess Ritual” but many of the steps are the same – Reading, journaling, meditation, exercise, visualisation and affirmations.

5 ways to get clear on your desires

Getting clarity on your desires is super important for manifesting what you want. In order for The Universe to deliver its gifts, you have to let The Universe know what it is you’d like to receive and be as specific as possible with that. 

So many women however struggle with getting clarity on what they really want and if this is you, here are five things that may help:

Ask yourself: “How do I want to feel?”. So often, we place the focus on what we physically want when really, we should be asking ourselves: “how do I want to feel?”.

The reason why we want anything really is to feel good, so it’s important on what those feel good feelings would be for you, and then work backwards to identify what things would help you create those feelings.

Use a vision board – this is a visual representation of your desires.

I like to use Pinterest to create digital versions of my boards that I can keep on my phone and access at any time. It’s important that as you look at your desires, you imagine yourself already in possession of them.

Rather than seeing the vision board as a list of hopes or wishes, imagine the board to reflect what you already have in your life to create the feeling of already having your desires.

It is from this place that your desires are able to manifest. 

Identifying where you are going along with what you feel you “should” be doing or where you are settling. It is important to realise where you are not being true to yourself and your own authentic wants. It’s easy to set goals based upon what feels realistic or what we believe is expected of us, rather than following our own hearts.

A good way to identify if a certain desire truly lights you up is to tune into your physical body and see how it responds. Bring the desire to the forefront of your mind and ask yourself “How would it feel if I had this” then pay attention to the sensations.

Does it feel exciting and expansive, or constrictive?

Listen to your gut reaction. 

Journal on your desires – Write out the question “what do I really want?” at the top of a page and spend some time allowing your pen to flow over the paper and write down whatever words or phrases come up for you.

Doodling can also help bring some of the subconscious desires to the surface.

Don’t worry about anything making sense at this stage. Also, it’s important that no one sees this so you don’t filter yourself in anyway. This is for your eyes only. 

Clarity coaching – One of the first things we teach our students inside The Clique Academy is how to conduct powerful clarity coaching sessions.

These sessions involve a series of quick fire questions where the client is encouraged to speak from the heart, without overthinking things.

This helps the client come up with desires that reflect their authentic selves.

The questions are designed to encourage a client to choose goals free from fears, doubts or family/society expectations.

What to do when your dreams aren’t manifesting

Our desires often do not manifest at the click of our fingers.

For some of our dreams and goals, the process takes a little longer and often, within what I call the “manifestation gap”, the doubt and fear can start to kick in. 

It’s tempting to want to hurry the process, but trying to force the outcome can actually delay your dreams even further, so here is what to do instead. 

Ask yourself: “How is this wait serving me?” – know that the delay between asking for what you want and receiving it is there FOR YOU.

Whilst it may be annoying to have to wait for your desires, the gap often teaches us certain things about ourselves and give us an opportunity to experience incredible breakthroughs that help us become the women we are meant to be.

My own biggest “A-Ha!” moments have often come in the times where it felt like things have been going incredibly slow or not working in my favour.

Are there any underlying beliefs you possess that contradict your desires? We cannot get what we want whilst simultaneously holding on to beliefs that go against our goals.

So lets say your desire is around manifesting a certain income goal, yet you are still holding onto a deep rooted belief that it is greedy to be money motivated, this belief can actually block your desires from appearing.

You will need to change any beliefs that go against the reality you want to create. 

Have you fallen into the “working hard” trap?

Often, when our desires don’t show up straight away, it can lead us to believe we aren’t trying hard enough and that if we just show up more, do more, be more, what we want will arrive.

This can quickly slip into a hustle mode mentality which for many women, simply doesn’t feel good. Burning ourselves out to achieve our goals puts us out of alignment with them.

It lowers our vibration and therefore we block the desire from showing up.
