How to Raise Your Business Value without working more

 

 

Discover how a Natropathic Doc raised his rates and Income by 50% with Zero loss of high value clientele,

 

When I first starting working with this amazing #intuitivehealer he was out of synch with what could be offered in his business model and had some questions about future vision in today’s chaotic medical marketplace. 

A laser sharp medical intuitive, a Naturopathic Doctor and also a skilled acupuncturist (I’m talking secret agent with the needles) his pricing was off-value with the level of transformation he was offering in the sessions.  (I am also a client)

He has a very rare energetic profile that needs to approach life and relationships and business very specifically to thrive.  I showed him what my intuition was telling me about him and his business as well as his human design and gene keys profiles that were corroborating what my business intuition was receiving.  He listened and implemented immediately, even while the health industry was receiving chaotic daily changes in how to approach clients and business. 

Since our meeting Dr. Mark has raised his rates, and income, by 50+ percent with zero loss of clientele (Hooray!!) and is moving into a more holistic treatment approach with Naturopathic, Accupuncture AND his own intuitive energy sessions. 

Bravo Dr. Mark, you’re a champ!

Hello professionals… are you a bricks and mortar business model and looking to move into something much more lucrative by making simple changes?   Let’s talk, reach out. 

 

You Must work more to make more money; A big fat lie

 

NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH

I was once let go from a job in financial planning for ‘not being serious enough’. I’ll confess that I don’t regret it for a minute! I’d much rather be spending my time in delight. What does that have to do with the Big Fat Lie of “You Must Work More to Make More Money”? Well, as the saying goes, you are what you eat, and that definitely extends to business: you are what you spend your time doing. If it’s all heavy and serious, that’s what your life and your business become. I spent enough of my career working in serious places to know that we all deserve to be spending our time in delight. What I do today is show business owners how to move into lighter and brighter parts of their businesses.

What does spending time in delight look like? It doesn’t mean that you get to just kick back on the couch and spend your day laughing and lounging. If you’re running a business, you need strategy and direction, a set niche, compelling branding, and an easeful, elegant client pathway for people to discover you. Once you get those set up you can let them to do their magic for you. If what you’re doing instead is pouring your energy into working longer and harder to try and bring in more money, you won’t even be visible to your ideal clients. In fact, you’ll actually repel them because they’ll pick up how angry and frustrated you are.

OPPORTUNITY COST

If you’ve been buying into the Big Fat Lie “You Have to Work More to Make More Money”, it’s time to shift gears and start nurturing yourself in your business. People will invite you to do things that either deplete or exponentialize your energy; you need to start noticing what kind of opportunities make you feel like you want to do more of them.

When you say yes to one project, it follows that you’ll have to say no to another – that’s the opportunity cost. To figure out how you’ve allocated your time to what kind of opportunities, I suggest making a list of all the projects you’re involved with. Start noticing everything you’ve said yes to and ask yourself if your answer would be the same today. Do you still get a delightful YES to the things on your list? I recommend that you cross anything that comes in below a 7 out of 10 off your list. Be ruthless about cleaning it up. 

COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET AS A PEOPLE-PLEASER

Sometimes when you’re working too hard and saying yes to too many things, it’s because you’re a people-pleaser. As difficult as it is to face, you may have to admit that part of what drives you to say yes is a desire to please others. Unfortunately, this behaviour will end up depleting you, rather than filling your days with delight. Saying yes to please others instead of taking care of yourself is the opposite of nurturing yourself in your business.

Look at what saying yes to each thing on your list has added to your life. Has it brought in great people or a sense of ease or elegance? Or have you been saddled with low-vibe energy, and made to feel less than yourself? When we operate from people-pleasing we create more of the same – clients who don’t respect our boundaries and expect us to work long hours and weekends. We end up tired and depleted, exhausted by the very business that is supposed to bring us delight. Our bodies respond by getting sick and tired and our clients feel our frustration and anger grow.

WHAT HAVE YOU SAID YES TO? 

You don’t have to choose overworking and overcommitting. You can make a conscious choice to NOT to be a people-pleaser, but first you’ll have to move past the belief that it makes you feel good to make people happy, that you like being ‘a good girl’. You’ll need to ask yourself, what’s the end result of all those commitments you’ve said yes to?

Go through all the things you’re doing and ask yourself – what has saying yes to this added to my life? If it’s not making you happy, look at automating or replacing it. When you’re saying yes to things, they’d better have the signature of delight. 

IS EVERY YES STILL A YES?

Noticing what’s in your body – without judgement – can be a tremendous help. I suggest taking some time to get curious about the information your body has to offer you. Your body has way more neurons than your brain, and you can turn to your body’s energy centres to determine what is no longer a yes.

I love helping my clients grow and flourish – but sometimes they say yes and figure they have to stick to it. I help them gather information about what’s still a yes and what’s turned into a no and then help them deal with what comes after that shift.

Changing a yes to a no doesn’t mean you’re flaky, or you’re a bad person. It simply means that the information has just changed. It’s okay to have yesses that have turned into no’s – you just have to handle them. Where you move out of integrity is when you refuse to face those hard decisions.

I can help with figuring out exactly how to have that conversation in your business. It’s just my total pleasure to help you serve yourself first and move forward in your life. I want you to make sure your yesses are still yesses – because they can expire!

Like me, you absolutely deserve to live and work in the energy of delight.

I’m Not Dramatic, You Are…

By Jennifer Cramer Lewis; Business Wisewoman | Trendsetter | Maverick

Have you been told you are overly dramatic? Do you believe that lie? Are you buying into that judgement?  What if you can flip it around?  What if you are dramatic, and that has everything to do with the gift that you came here to be? 

My invitation to you is to start allowing yourself to be fully switched on as you move through your life. Stop believing you need to calm down and be quiet. If you’re anything like me, you’re here to entertain, create art, and invite others out onto the dance floor of life. Being fully switched on is a GIFT – you can take your amazing dramatic energy and do something with it!

Your life’s purpose is to be the full expression of yourself and that doesn’t involve holding yourself back, judging yourself as too much, too sensitive. When you allow for the healthy expression of all of you, your life will evolve naturally into a more joyful experience. And in that place, you’ll be better able to serve others. 

So I leave you with a challenge – let’s unpack the gift of all your drama. Write this down: “because I’m sensitive I can:…” and really get to the bottom of what you can do BECAUSE you’re sensitive, because you’re full of passion, because you ARE dramatic!

Talking about Money in Relationships

By Jennifer Cramer Lewis, Business Wisewoman, Trendsetter, Maverick 

When your heart is fluttering, and you can’t stop thinking about someone, the last thing on your mind is, “Are we compatible financially?” However, it might be a great idea to know at the very beginning of a long-term relationship if you really do have what it takes to truly share your financial lives and prosper together.

The following are questions that you may wish to ask yourself and your significant other about your potential, or current financial relationship to ensure you’re compatible now and in the long run.

Question #1: Do I actually want to share my money with this person?

It’s a candid question. Do you really see yourself sharing your financials with this person, showing them what you have in investments, jointly purchasing items, buying real estate together? If you don’t, that’s not a disaster. Coming from a place of what is mine stays mine, is fine too. Many couples choose to sign co-habitation agreements stating just that. How bills will be handled. Where finances stay mine and yours. Does this sound too scary to even contemplate? If you’ve gone through even one bad argument about money, you will know that it’s best to be clear about money immediately. Would knowing more about how you would like to be with this person financially add more to what you could create together? Co-habitation agreements are no longer only for the wealthy.

Question #2: Do I expect them to share their money with me?

Yes, it is possible to ask someone to share their money with you and not expect to have to or agree to share back. Legally it becomes less of an option when you have lived together for a certain amount of time or actually get married. The accumulation of assets after a certain time frame become community property. This is more of a values-based question. Where do you stand on sharing their wealth with them?  Is this compatible with how they see themselves using their money, sharing their money? Does that work for you? What future do you see you creating together financially?  Is this congruent with what is actually there right now

Question #3: Are they a spender or a saver or balanced?

What are their spending habits? Do they binge spend? Are they overly thrifty? How does that work for you? Do you find yourself picking up the check because they penny pinch and it drives you up the wall? Do you notice that their lifestyle does not match the amount of money coming in? Not from a place of judgement but from awareness of whether their spending habits are compatible with yours. Living with someone who spends too much of their paychecks and has no money for the basics and the bills becomes a chore very quickly. That may not work for you long term. This is a recipe for disagreements. Having awareness of how a potential partner uses their money is key to creating a future with money in it for yourself.

Question #4: Do they have any financial skeletons in their closet?

A bankruptcy or two? A giant student loan debt? Alimony or child support? Credit card debts?

These may seem like very personal questions for you to ask, but also necessary for you to know if you are going to be sharing your financial future with someone. Part of creating a co-habitation agreement can be sharing a financial balance sheet with each other. I remember not knowing my fiancé had a large student loan until we were married! When you marry someone, you are marrying their finances too. My first husband and were not financially compatible and it took its toll on our relationship. We did have many other qualities as a couple but not being financially compatible made it impossible to create a future together that allowed us both to grow and prosper.

Whether you decide to ask these questions to your partner or not. Use them as an awareness of what questions can create financial clarity for you. Ultimately having money becomes a choice that we make every day. To choose to have money in your future is a kindness to you and a kindness to any future relationships that you may choose too. What awareness can you have now about a future that is financially healthy and prosperous?

Out-Creating Your Poverty Programming

 

By Jennifer Cramer Lewis, Business Wisewoman | Trendsetter | Maverick

Are you stuck in a place where no matter what you try or do with your finances there seems to be a limit on how much you can earn in your business? How much you can have in your savings account? How fast the money goes out vs how fast it comes in?

If so, you are not alone. Over the years of facilitating and coaching the topic of money and “how to get more of it,” has been a major subject of facilitation with entrepreneurs and business owners.

Here are my top five tips and tools to delete your poverty programming and create more profit:

Tip #1 Throw out the budget

When you think of budgeting, where does your mind go? Living on macaroni and cheese dinner? That’s because the very word ‘budget’ speaks of living on less, having less and creating less.

Your body doesn’t like the idea of living on less. In fact, it’s asking you to create a life of living that includes the finer things. Don’t tell me you can’t tell the difference between a $10.00 bottle of wine and a $30.00 glass of wine. If you can’t, it’s time that you started experimenting with having more.

I remember reading once that Aristotle Onassis recommended always living at an elegant address even if you have to live in the attic. I am not recommending that you charge the lifestyle that you hope to become accustomed to on your credit card. However, I do recommend that you question where you are budgeting and if adding more elegance into your life would allow you to have and keep more of the finer things.

Tool #1 Ask: “If I buy this $30.00 glass of wine, what will it add to my life?”

Tip #2 Party like a Rockstar

Start becoming aware of what your business and connections are already bringing you. What have you already created this calendar year? Last year? Do you sometimes get so focused on the next client acquisition that you forget to celebrate that you currently have real, live, breathing, paying clients?

I have noticed that this “what’s next” thinking creates more lack and actually slows down a client’s business. What if you got up from your desk and did a happy dance every time a new client came into your business or every time a current client chose something different than they were able to choose before. What if every client or contract was a reason to celebrate?  Celebrate them choosing your business? Celebrate your business being the business that they chose in all the world?

Tool #2 Ask: “Business, show me the people who are grateful for me?”

Tip #3 Check the GPS

When you have thoughts about not having enough money to choose something or that it isn’t a wise investment or that you really don’t have the financial acumen to make financial decisions, who’s thoughts are really running through your head?

Are you the kind of person that telephones people before they call you? Have you ever walked into a room and knew that there had been an argument taking place there? If so, you could be sensitive enough to be picking up the thoughts and feelings of other people. Evolutionarily speaking, this is a superpower that has kept us from getting eaten or beaten for millennia. It may however, be playing old recordings of poverty’s past that are not actually your thoughts.

Are you ready to outwit and outplay the lack chatter in your mind?

Tool #3 Ask: “Is this really my thought or am I picking it up from somewhere else?”

Tip #4 Stop the backtalk

We all know who those people are in our lives that we cannot share our successes with. They simply cannot cheer you on, it’s not in their DNA to do so. I remember becoming aware of those people who I included in my life, that after I spent time with them, I would doubt myself. This was a key discovery for me in my own development and I wonder if it would assist you to just know who can be included in your success party celebrations and who cannot? Not from a place of exclusion but from of a place of you putting yourself first and including those people who are ready, willing and asking to be included in your business and life wins. It has been proven that when you are surrounded by people who love it when you win, you win more. Poverty mindset has no defense against that!

Tool #4 Ask: “Does this person love it when I win?”

Tip #5 Expect the best, always

So much of our programming speaks of having a contingency plan, a Plan B, a Plan C and D too. What if that very thinking allows us to always be playing a game of snakes and ladders with ourselves? Does having an exit plan or a plan b actually work long term? I can tell you it does not. If you set your intentions and expectations on always receiving the best, then it actually shows up for you. Surround yourself with people who expect the best to show up for you, then you can exponentialize the returns for yourself. When you get doubts about what you can create or try to backtrack and ask for less than you have aimed for, stop and regroup and ask for more to show up.

Don’t forget that you are not an island, you can ask for help and create more profit and possibilities by adding a team to your business. Many times, I have seen how adding people to a business it increases the bottom line by at least double the “cost” of the employee.

Tool #5 Ask yourself: “If anyone else could be added to this project to have it show up faster, better and more profitable than I ever thought possible, who would that be?

I am passionate about inviting people to examine their financial capabilities – to encourage them to ask questions about what they are creating financially, with their businesses, with their relationships and to create a profitable and sustainable future. What do you want your future to be?

4 Money Management Tips (That won’t bore you to death)

By Jennifer Cramer Lewis, Business Wisewoman | Trendsetter | Maverick

The thought of managing our finances can seem tedious, overwhelming and incredible boring, to say the least. And it can prove even more difficult if you’re not already financially savvy or feel stuck in a position where you don’t know how to generate more wealth.

Finance coach and business wisewoman, Jennifer Cramer Lewis, shares 4 money management tips that can help you get started on securing a prosperous financial future.

Tip #1 – Ask for more

Whatever money you are making now, what would it be like to double it, triple it, quadruple it?   When I was working in commercial and residential Real Estate management, I had a spreadsheet that showed me what money I was making for the company that I was working for.  Every 6 months I would go into my boss’s office and show him the new spreadsheet numbers and ask for a raise.   I was responsible for increasing the bottom line of the company that I was working for by asking for and receiving increases in the management fees for my portfolio of real estate.  If I had never asked for the raises and presented the numbers that supported the raises, the company might have given me a raise now and again, but certainly not as often and as much as they did.  Over a 5 year period, I was able to increase my income by more than double.  I was willing to do the work and was also willing to ask for my share of the profit.  Always ask for your share of the profit and always know the value you add to the bottom line of the company you work for.

Tip #2 – Be aware of the contribution you make to your workplace

As women, we are not taught about being a contribution to our families and our workplaces and how valuable it is.  What do you do that nobody else can do?  How does that contribute to your workplace?  Do you walk in and everyone feels better? Often knowing your value can add to how valuable you are perceived.  A question you can ask is, “What do I know that nobody else here knows?” Also, “What does me working here add to this business?”  If asking this question gives you the thought that you are not adding to this workplace or making a contribution, you can ask, “Where can I go today to be a valuable contribution right away?” And “What would I do all day every day that could add to my life and my financial flows?”

Tip #3 – Stop being negative

It’s time to stop whining! I know that this isn’t going to be a popular tip, but it will create the most for you financially. If there is any situation that you are not happy with, rather than complaining or whining about it, and take action. When my clients put themselves in situations financially that do not work for them, one of the things I notice is that it’s normal for them to whine but not normal to take action with their finances.  Ask, “What can I do to change this?” “Who can assist me to change this?” “Where can I go to change this?” and “What information do I need right now to change this?” And be willing to stop complaining and start taking action. If you actively work to change your financial situation today, imagine the position you could be in 5 or 10 years from now, and the possibilities that will be presented to you in the future. It is possible to get better at making changes and better at managing your finances and being profitable.

Tip#4 – Get accustomed to having money

What thoughts do you have about people who have money?  What if you let those go?  Also, what thoughts do you have about who you would be if you had “too much” money? Would you let those go too? I recommend opening up a bank account and start putting at least 10% of your income into it.  It could be an investment bank account or a retirement savings account, the point is to get accustomed to having money.  At the beginning, it’s not a fun or easy thing to be doing with your money, but when it accumulates to 10’s and 100’s of thousands of dollars, you start making choices based on having money instead of lacking it. Once you build up a tidy sum, then you can start asking questions like, “What can I do to generate even more money?” It is entirely possible to build a sense of intuition about where your money should go to grow. How often have we said to ourselves, “I knew I shouldn’t have done that with my money!?”  Once we learn to use our intuition for us rather than against us, financial awareness and skill can build from there.
