Entrepreneur

Tonya from Greensboro, NC, asked:

Hi Julie,

I love your show! 

My question is regarding money, and I’m not sure if you can help or not, but I can’t seem to find my career path and I can’t seem to get more money. Is there something or someone keeping it from me?  I’m so frustrated! 

My husband and I have a business and we thought it would do well and right now, it isn’t. 

We are moving in with my in-laws to save ourselves and to help them as well. Can you tell me if my in-laws are in transition?

I’m really hoping my family will have the strength to endure and I hope we can also bring my in-laws some joy.

Thank you.

Hi Tonya,

Thanks for those kind words about the show. I love doing it!

Regarding your business, life as an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart and most people don’t have the stomach to endure the financial roller coaster ride that comes with it. As you’re learning, being an entrepreneur takes lots of ingenuity, perseverance and tenacity. I should know. As the founder of nine companies in five industries, I understand your fear and frustration.

So, in order to help you, I energetically connected to you and asked to see a “growth” chart. Good news … a bar graph immediately appeared in my head and showed growth beginning in four months and then steadily increasing.

In the meantime, here are some suggestions:

– Get the word out. Increase your social medial presence, especially on Instagram and Twitter. It’s a free way to advertise and connect.

– Clarify what you want. Write down a list of everything you don’t want and then next to it, write the opposite … what you do want. Focus on your desires.

– Think outside of the box. Consider different ways your product/service can be used.

– Understand there aren’t any mistakes in life. Rather, all experiences are valuable and are leading you somewhere, even if it’s in a completely different job or industry.

– Make decisions not only on their business merits but also on how a decision feels. Let your intuition guide you. If something makes sense but feels bad, don’t do it.

– Be open to how things will manifest. As humans, we normally envision things happening one way, and they often take a completely different path and still achieve the desired outcome. This is what makes being an entrepreneur so magical. Set your intention and then marvel at how it all unfolds.

Lastly, at this moment in time, neither of your in-laws is dying. They’re both in their bodies and haven’t entered the Twelve Phases of Transition. I truly believe it’ll be a blessing for your family to be together. After all, you can always do a business deal and you may not get another chance to make memories with and enjoy your in-laws.

Hope this information helps. Good luck!
