Why you DO have to spend money to make money

Why you DO have to spend money to make money

Hi, this is Miriam Castilla and welcome to the Manifesting Playground where we apply Law of Attraction in practical and magical ways to transform your business and life – so you can have more money, more time, and more alignment.

Let’s talk about why you have to spend money to make money.

I know… can you believe I just said that?

When you talk about manifesting and that the universe is unlimited, you would generally say, “That’s not true. You don’t HAVE to spend money to make money. You can just be in alignment with the vibration of abundance and attract money to you.”

Totally true. Not saying that’s not true, but what I’m also saying is that if you are unwilling to spend or refuse to spend money or you’re scared of spending money or you just don’t like spending money, then what you’re actually doing is you’re blocking the flow of money.

Money is a flow of energy.

It flows TO you and THROUGH you.

When I teach what it takes to attract more money, keep more money, and help that money grow and multiply, the practical steps around running your business and spending money in really smart and wise ways that are a great investment for your business -they’re an important part of the process.

Spending money to make money and knowing that this is an investment that comes back to me multiplied and generally in life having that attitude – that I can spend money on this and that and the other (within reason by being not totally flippant about it and just blowing everything… because that’s a really bad habit and we’ll talk about that in a moment) – but knowing that you can spend money on things that are in alignment with what you’re all about, in alignment with where you’re going, and you can feel really comfortable knowing that – that’s part of the flow.

If you think about it, if you are a pipe of abundance, money flows to you and through you.

If you block the end and you don’t let anything flow out, you’re going to end up with some congestion and no more money can flow in.

You do need to get comfortable with allowing the money to flow out of your experience so that it can continue to flow INTO your experience.

Flow means being in the flow of life… not hoping to manifest some money and then hoarding it, holding onto it out of fear that no more will come. That’s not what we’re about, is it?

So I talked about healthy patterns of spending around money, and there are also some unhealthy spending patterns around money. BUT.. some of the spending patterns around money that you would think are actually good, like accumulating lots of money, are not necessarily healthy. If they’re coming from that point of view of “lack” and fear and “What if there’s not enough? What if no more comes tomorrow?” then that’s part of a really unhelpful story that’s keeping you trapped in a vibration that does not match abundance.
Life is fearful, and even though you might have some money coming to you, you’re certainly not feeling abundant.

Trust me, abundance is a feeling and not a dollar amount.

So that is the starting point. See what your patterns are around money. Ask, “What are my habit patterns when it comes to spending money and relating to money?” because they’re your first indicator of some of those old stories that are lurking beneath the surface that are stopping you from really getting in alignment and allowing yourself to be in the flow.

I call this your Money Habit Archetype.

If you don’t yet know what your Money Habit Archetype is, then do the quiz from the link in the description, because once you find out what your Money Habit Archetype is, that is your first step to uncovering those patterns that are lurking beneath the surface and that is what will allow you to take the next step and really step into the flow abundance.

It’s a beautiful, beautiful place to be!

So let me know in the comments below what your Money Habit Archetype is, and until I see you next, keep on embracing your beautiful and unlimited potential.

I love my biz but hate asking for money

I love my biz but hate asking for money

Hi, this is Miriam Castilla and welcome to the Manifesting Playground where we apply Law of Attraction in practical and magical ways to transform your business and life – so you can have more money, more time, and more alignment.

Let’s talk about what to do when you love your business but hate asking for the money.

So, first of all, let’s take a step back:

What’s your business all about and why do you love it so much?

If I was to take a guess, I would say that it’s the way you express yourself, it’s the way you show up as the most valued and valuable version of you, the version of YOU that really feels like she makes a difference and you’re doing the thing that is your unique contribution to this world in serving the people that you serve.

Your business is all about serving.

So, if your business is all about serving and self-expression, and then on the other hand also about money…let’s think. What’s money all about when it comes to business?

Well, money is received and exchanged for service rendered, right? It is an exchange of energy. You give service, and in return you receive money. You can’t have one without the other. Not in business (otherwise it’s called a charity or a hobby). If it’s a business, that’s the exchange of energy that happens. By receiving the money, it allows you to give the service. By giving the service, it allows you to receive the money. It’s part of a cycle, it’s an energy exchange.

Now, if you’re feeling uncomfortable about receiving money you’re effectively saying, “I don’t want to give too much service.” Energetically, you are refusing or blocking yourself from giving more service.

… Which is probably why you might find you don’t have as many clients as you’d like to have in your business, because you’re feeling uncomfortable about the money and it’s part of the cycle. If there aren’t any clients, you can’t give the service, so you can’t receive the money and that takes care of your little problem, see?

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

If you want to resolve that problem and stop blocking the money, which blocks you from giving more service, then you need to do a bit of changing things up.

Start with that reframe and remember that the more money you receive, it means you’ve been giving even more service.

So really you owe it to the world, you owe it to those you serve to become very very rich.

It shows that you’ve been of incredible service to the world.

So that’s a big reframe, and that alone will help you really up your vibration around money. It’ll help you start to relate money to money in a whole new and much more resourceful and helpful way. In a way that allows you to attract the money in, to feel good about attracting the money in, and to give even more service.

Now, if you’d like to practice that a little bit further, then make sure you access my free money manifesting video training.

If you haven’t got it yet, you can access it from the link in the description. It’s a 25-minute video training that I’ve recorded especially for you to help you understand the 5 top reasons why you’re not manifesting more money, and what to do about it. You even get a little cheat sheet to help you remember what I covered for you in the training – just in case you need it later on.

So, hop to it!

Grab yourself that and until next time, remember to keep embracing your absolutely beautiful and unlimited potential.

Do you feel guilty spending money?

Do you feel guilty spending money?

Hi, this is Miriam Castilla and welcome to the Manifesting Playground where we apply Law of Attraction in practical and magical ways to transform your business and life – so you can enjoy more money, more time, and more alignment.

Do you feel guilty spending money on yourself? Let’s talk about that and let’s talk about why it stops more money from coming into your experience.

Maybe you’re in this habit of saying, “Ah, not yet. I won’t spend that money on myself just yet. First I need to hit a six-figure income,” or “When I have my first big month,” or “When my launch does this,” or “When I have this many clients,” or “When I put my price up to X number.”

The thing is that what you will notice if you’re really honest with yourself is that you keep moving the goalposts. You keep finding excuses and you keep skimping and putting yourself last, feeling too guilty to ever really spend that money on yourself.

So my question is: When will you feel ready?

When will you actually get to a place where you step into and claim your abundance?

On this journey, if you want to create an abundant business and life, it’s all about you actually getting to enjoy it, right? So if you’re constantly dangling the carrot on the stick and you keep moving forward and forward but the carrot never gets any closer, then it’ll never be enough, you’ll never get there, and you’ll never get to enjoy the beautiful rewards of your heart-centred business.

So what’s causing that?

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

Well, at the unconscious level, there is something within you that says, “You don’t deserve it. You haven’t done enough yet. You’re not good enough. You’re not qualified enough. You’re not worthy. You’re not deserving,”

But you ARE all those things, you were born deserving and worthy!

A part of you isn’t allowing you to have it, because it believes that you’re not ready because you haven’t done enough, not qualified enough, all those things.

It’s these old stories that are keeping you stuck.

What that means is that it’ll never be enough because the story doesn’t change with the dollar amount of income you’re making.

The story stays the same.

The story is what’s putting your abundance, your enjoyment of what you’re creating, on that stick. It’s keeping your carrot dangling in front of you and it’s keeping you working hard and just pushing yourself more and more and punishing yourself for still not having made it and gotten there, and it just never ends… unless you untangle and release that old story. When you notice a pattern like this, it’s really time to break free.

So… where the hell do you start?

Okay, the first thing that you need to do is to start to look into these old stories.

What’s creating them and how are they showing up? In my training with my students, I talk about these stories and I talk about how they’re just archetypal stories. They’re kind of the same theme, but just with different nuances and iterations. Now, those stories actually show up quite pronounced in your life through your habits and your behaviour. Your habits are really just an indication of what your beliefs are. And those stories? They create your beliefs. The stories that you were told growing up, the stories that you absorb by watching the world around you and listening to the people around you created your beliefs about life and how life works and what you deserve within it.

It all shows up in your habits. Your Money Habit Archetype is your predominant pattern around money. It kind of defines your relationship with money. That is your starting point because it’s that little sign at the surface, it’s the tip of the iceberg of what’s lying underneath. Once you find the tip of the iceberg, then you can start drilling your way down and getting to what’s actually created that to rise up and show up in this way for you.

If you don’t know what your Money Habit Archetype is so you can start uncovering and releasing these old stories that are keeping you stuck, then take my quiz!

It’s the Money Habit Archetype quiz. It will let you know what your money habit archetype is, and then you can start doing the work to release it – and I will support you with that as well.

So go on, jump on the quiz right now, the link is below!

Until I see you next, keep on embracing your beautiful and absolutely unlimited potential.

The real secret to attracting money EASILY

The real secret to attracting money EASILY

Hi, this is Miriam Castilla and welcome to the Manifesting Playground where we apply Law of Attraction in practical and magical ways to transform your business and life – so you can have more, more time, and more alignment.

Let’s talk about the real secret to attracting more money EASILY.

If you’ve been focusing on attracting more abundance and more money into your business and your life for a while, you might have found that, at times… or maybe a lot of the time, it starts to feel really hard and frustrating… and the more you try, the worse it gets!

That’s actually completely what happens. As you try harder, you’re reinforcing to the universe and your subconscious mind – which are kind of the same thing but we’ll talk about that another time – you are reinforcing that it’s hard work and that it’s not happening. Just the word “try” alone, actually implies NOT succeeding – which is why Yoda was so right (if you know what I’m talking about with the Star Wars reference)

There is no try. There is only “do” and “do not.”

In fact, in hypnotherapy, we use the word “try” to suggest to people that they cannot succeed. So, I don’t know if you’ve ever worked with a hypnotherapist (maybe you’ve worked with me?) We can do things like stick your hand to your leg or glue your eyes shut. We use the word “try” over and over again, “Go on try. Try to do it,” and the more you try the more you find you can’t do it!

The word “try” is hypnotic and it implies not succeeding. When you’re “trying” you are not succeeding and you’re reinforcing to your unconscious mind that you’re having to try because it’s not working, and that is the message you’re sending out to the universe with your energy of frustration and how hard it all is and how you just keep trying and you can’t crack it.

So, the real secret to attracting more money more easily, is to dance the dance of what I call the Manifesting Paradox.

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

Yes, you need to connect with what you want. You need to have the idea. You need to dream the dream. You need to connect with that possibility of the outcome you want that already exists out in the quantum field. Now once that’s done, whether you visualise, or you daydream, or you make a vision board, or you just spend some time talking and thinking about it – that’s done. The connection has happened. It’s kind of like you’ve branded that event. You’ve branded that outcome with your electromagnetic signature.

So the universe heard your order, no need to keep repeating it.

The work from here on is simple: It’s allowing yourself to be in a state where you can attract it. And “trying” to bring it in is not the state you want to be in!

So what you actually need to work on is getting into a state of “allowing.” Allowing it to flow to you, which means that you kind of need to be unattached enough to “how” and “when” and still be excited and looking forward to the outcome. So being really thrilled because you know that you create your reality, but at the same time knowing that the details of that are not your work. The “how” is not your work and when you try to get in the way and micromanage the process, you just slow it down.

So that is the real secret to attracting more money, more easily:
Come up with all the great ideas, dream the dream, and then get into a space of “allowing,” which means you just have to stay in that beautiful state of unattached expectation.

Tune in and notice, “is that how I’m feeling?” If it’s not, make a little tweak and check it again. If it’s not, make another little tweak. Lots of baby steps add up beautifully over time.

Now, if you’d like some more tips like that to practice and you haven’t yet accessed my free money manifesting training, then please follow the link I’ve given you in the description because you get access to a free 25 minute training video that I’ve recorded for you with the 5 reasons you’re not manifesting more money and what to do about it so.

Along with the video, you also get a little cheat sheet, a checklist to remind you of what I cover for you in the training so that you can keep on refining and applying those beautiful baby steps and continue to grow in abundance.

Until I see you next, keep on embracing your beautiful and unlimited potential.

The difference between personal responsibility and self-blame when it comes to manifesting what you want

The difference between personal responsibility and self-blame when it comes to manifesting what you want

Hi, this is Miriam Castilla and welcome to the Manifesting Playground for Soulful Women in Business – the place where you get to marry the magical with the practical so you can have more money and more time, the easy way – without all the extra hustle!

Let’s talk about the difference between personal responsibility and self-blame.

You see, I teach that you are the creator of your life. When most people start to get that they go, “Yaaay, that is so awesome! It means that I have 100% responsibility for the world I’m creating!” Which means that not long after that they go, “Ooh, shit… I’ve created this, and that, and that, and that… if I’m 100% responsible, it means I get the blame. I’m to blame for all of the things that are wrong in my life,” and they don’t like that. That usually then leads to a state of guilt, self-judgment, and even self-punishment, and that’s not a good thing.

So the thing to recognize is that when you go into a pattern of self-blame and self-judgment and guilt, you’re actually acting from a place of ego. The ego that is very clever at keeping you stuck in an old pattern. When you’re so busy putting all your energy into blaming yourself, into going over what went wrong, how you’re the cause of it all and how you really just need to get your act together and stop screwing everything up – it takes a lot of energy to do that. When your energy is tied up in that self-blame, and that guilt, and that rehashing everything that went wrong, it means that you don’t have energy available to create the new. It keeps you from moving forward. That’s how clever the ego is.

It wants to keep you in the same old pattern where it feels you’ll be safe.

Remember that where your attention goes, your energy flows.

Everything that happens is neither good nor bad, it’s just feedback. It’s an opportunity for you to learn and decide to make some adjustments. Redirect your focus. Done! That is ALL you need to worry about when it comes to the past.

Whether things went right or wrong is almost irrelevant. It is all just feedback and an opportunity to learn so that you can move forward in an even better, even more beautiful way.

The thing is that money is usually the place where people feel the biggest urgency around this stuff, and where they beat themselves up the most. In my Magnetic Money Program, I see it all the time. People really blaming themselves and feeling so bad for all the things they did wrong, both on the practical physical level with their money, and on an energetic level when it comes to their money.

So that’s why I’ve created a special little video training that really helps you address the five reason you’re not manifesting more money and what to do about them. You can grab it from the link in the description, it’s totally free. It’s a 25-minute short, sharp, and shiny video training that even comes with a little handy cheat sheet to remind you of everything you learned in the training so that you can totally stay on track and take 100% personal responsibility and power to move you forward rather than being stuck in self-blame, guilt, and all that crap. We don’t want that. We want to move forward into abundance.

Grab yourself that from the link in the description and until I see you next time, remember to keep on embracing your amazing and unlimited potential.
