Let’s Talk Business

Question-

Yesterday in meditation I was juuust coming out of it (and this wasn’t the first time I’ve felt this...) and I felt, ‘give it away’ and saw me making the courses and writing and videos on my website free and people having the option to donate if they just wanted to say thank you.

Honestly I’ve made more on these already then I expected to, but they have become less fun to continue making, having to think of how much to charge… how much they’re worth… It’s kinda sucked the excitement outta making anything like that at all. And I’ve tried so many different ways... I feel so flakey.

After all this time. After so many successes and blunders in money and career, if I really am honest with myself ...I feel like a fool for first lowering pricing and then giving those things away completely. I get in my head and hear experts saying to charge what I’m worth and my prices should be going up not down.

Is this low self-worth or am I moving in the right direction?

Guardians-

It feels much better to say ‘Thank you’ than ‘Please.’ doesn’t it?

Please has his head bowed to ask for something he perceives he is without.

Thank You lifts his chin to show gratitude for what he holds.

You see the difference? One continues to reach in need, while the other stands tall recognizing what they have.

Your work is evolving rapidly as you evolve. We know you want people to feel safe with you and know they can trust you but they first have to feel safe with themselves. You can’t empower anyone in their own sovereignty who is currently frightened and seeking to be told what to do and who they are.

You worry too much what it looks like to others when you change again (and you will always be changing…) you want to be stable and clear but you’re already doing that where it matters in one on one sessions.

You’re on time. You don’t rush. You’re present.

This is where it’s beneficial to create a framework of payment because you are creating a doorway to be walked through and a space in time to meet another person and work magic together you see?

And it feels more natural to charge for personalized sessions and exchanges doesn’t it?

Payment systems won’t be the same for everyone because everyone has their own individual talents, desires, passions, and energy makeup. Some people can go go go and get things done, but others connect deeply and require more rest and quiet, their time and energy need clearer framework. They are processing and integrating even when it’s not visible.

So if it feels good? If it opens you up and invites you to breathe deep? Give it away.

You must have boundaries around yourself for your own health and energy and those will continue to shift as you evolve and grow, but try not to pay attention to what’s right or wrong for others.

This is different for every person and will shift as life progresses and priorities move and passions rise and fall.

We know you enjoy sessions so much it’s necessary to have time limits and monetary limits because you can easily over do it just like you can easily extend a coffee date to 5 hours.

It’s not sustainable without predetermined limits. In this area, money protects your time, and time protects your energy, and this also sets the pace for your clients so there’s not too much too fast to process.

So you see money and time both pace and protect your energy more than reflect your worth in this situation.

So very simply- if you’d like to give it away and it’s truly not costing you anything, then why not? And allow people to say thank you if it would make them happy to do so.

This is a different way of looking at donation systems than you have before. It’s actually a way on your part of releasing restriction and control. Of making it fun again.

Have you ever had someone give you something but when you truly wanted to say thank you with a gift to them or a sincere statement, they became proud or ashamed and wouldn’t accept it? It changed the whole transaction didn’t it? Their gift to you now held a weight it didn’t before because they wouldn’t accept your gratitude.

This is why whether it’s used or not, simply opening the opportunity for people to express their gratitude is just as important. Being able to give is also a gift.

You see when people say, “be careful what you turn into a job, it might not be fun anymore” it’s not just about others having a demand on you- it’s more about what you begin to demand and expect from yourself because it becomes about others rather than following your own joy.

We’d like to talk more on this later, but what if you didn’t worry so much where the money was gonna come from? We’ve joked with you about this before saying, “Why do you insist on WORKING for it? Haha!”

So we’d like to close with this- what if you refocused on the fun of it? The play?

What if safety and security in your life didn’t cost you your childhood artist and dreamer? That’s the real question. :) We love you!
