Want Business To Be Easier? Start Asking These Questions:

by | Mar 10, 2025 | Podcast

Ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels, trying to figure out what to sell, how much to charge, or how to “get it all done”? What if the problem isn’t the answers—but the questions you’re asking in the first place?

What if the problem isn’t the answers—but the questions you’re asking in the first place?

Most online coaches and service providers are stuck in a cycle of decision fatigue, overthinking, and second-guessing.

They jump from one strategy to another, hoping to land on the right formula for success.

But here’s the truth: it’s not about finding the perfect answer—it’s about asking the right questions.

Common Questions That Keep Business Owners Stuck:

If you’ve ever caught yourself asking questions like:
“What should I sell?” → Leads to chasing trends & feeling disconnected
“What can I charge?” → Leads to doubting your worth or undercharging
“What do I need to do?” → Leads to overwhelm & endless busy work
“How can I get it all done?” → Leads to burnout & never-ending to-do lists


Then here’s what you need to wake up to:

These types of questions come from a place of scarcity and fear.

They assume that the answer is out there rather than within you. So they keep you feeling trapped, reactive, and out of alignment.

The Questions You Should Be Asking Instead:

The key to shifting from confusion to clarity is to start asking more resourceful & empowering questions:

Questions that get your unconscious to work to help you see the answers (that are often right in front of you!)

✅ “What lights me up & fills a need?” → Helps you create an offer that feels aligned and sustainable
✅ “How much do I need to make?” → Brings clarity to pricing without guessing
✅ “What do I want to do that feels aligned?” → Moves you from chasing trends to designing a business YOU love
✅ “What truly needs to get done?” → Helps you cut through overwhelm & focus on needle-moving tasks


Why This Shift Matters:

When you ask better questions, you get better results.

You move your focus and your alignment from:

  • Confusion to Clarity
  • Scarcity to Abundance
  • Overwhelm to Ease

Instead of feeling stuck, you’ll start making clear, empowered decisions that align with your business goals. Your work will feel lighter, more spacious, and deeply fulfilling.

Stop The Hustle! Align Your Business for Success Instead.

by | Mar 10, 2025 | Podcast

Ever feel like you’re doing ALL the right things, but something still isn’t clicking?

Like no matter how much strategy you have, you’re still second-guessing, procrastinating, or struggling to make decisions?

What if I told you the missing piece isn’t more strategy—it’s alignment?

Learning how to align your business for success is the key to unlocking effortless flow, attracting the right opportunities, and making strategic decisions with confidence.

Most business owners think success is all about finding the right strategy.

But the truth is, strategy only works when you’re aligned with it.

When you’re in alignment, your actions flow, your energy attracts opportunities, and everything just clicks into place.

How Alignment Supercharges Strategy

Alignment isn’t woo—it’s the foundation that makes strategy work. Here’s what happens when you’re aligned:

  • You stop overcomplicating, delaying, or second-guessing.
  • Your mind opens up to new ideas, inspiration, and higher guidance.
  • You naturally attract more opportunities, the right clients, and money.
  • You start making decisions faster and with more confidence.

Without alignment, you’re forcing things. With alignment, business feels lighter, easier, and more profitable.

5 Simple Ways to Integrate Alignment Daily

You don’t have to meditate for hours to feel aligned—it’s something you can cultivate in your everyday routine. Here’s how:

1. Start Your Day With Intention

Instead of jumping into emails or social media, take five minutes to set an intention. Ask yourself: How do I want to feel today? The way you start your day sets the tone for everything else.

2. Check in With Your Energy Before Making Decisions

Before saying yes to something, pause and ask: Does this feel light and expansive, or heavy and forced? Alignment means making decisions that feel good—not just ones that seem “strategically smart.”

3. Create Space for Higher Guidance

Overworking and rushing block intuition. Give yourself room to think, even if it’s just a 10-minute walk. Some of the best ideas come when you’re not actively working.

4. Trust the Easy Path

Alignment means moving toward what feels natural and energizing. If something feels like an uphill battle, it might be a sign to pivot.

5. Track Alignment Like a Business Metric

Just like tracking revenue or engagement, track how aligned you feel daily. Rate your alignment (1-10) at the end of each day and notice what shifts when you prioritize it.

Real Stories of Success Through Aligned Action

One of my clients was recently stuck in a launch strategy that felt AWFUL. She followed all the “right” steps but kept hitting roadblocks. Nothing was working.

The moment she stopped fighting, trying to force herself into a strategy that was not in alignment for her and switched to an approach that actually felt good, everything shifted. And she hit her revenue goals without the stress and struggle.

Alignment works because it removes resistance. HOW? Because they are polar opposite forces. Where there’s one, the other simply cannot exist.

That’s why when you stop forcing and start flowing, business starts to feel effortless.

Ready to Work Less & Achieve More?

Alignment isn’t about sitting back and hoping—it’s about making moves from a place of clarity, ease, and confidence.

How to quit stalling and finally move forward in your business

So if you’ve ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in other people’s coaching sessions, you’ll love this one.

We learn so much by listening in like this. Because as online business owners, we all face the same challenges and share similar dreams.

But it’s usually tricky to see our own patterns.

So allow Jackie to be your mirror today and discover some actionable strategies to help you move forward in your business anytime if you ever find yourself stalling.

Jackei and I met for a 20min mini-coaching session – what I like to call ‘Focus Coaching’ to discuss some practical steps she can take.

Here’s the question she sent in:

“The idea has been formulated, the prep work is done, all that remains is to take a leap and just complete the process. And I feel like I’ve already done all the goal setting & mindset work, but I keep stalling. Miriam, could you please offer some simple straightforward ways to help me maintain a confident mindset to finally move forward and realize the successful life I see ahead of me?”

Listen to today’s episode to hear me share a simple hack I’ve personally used to help me keep moving forward in my own business.

Episode #2:

What if you could completely shift your money mindset and start to naturally become magnetic to more financial abundance – simply by starting to take better care of your money?

Because when you create a holistic relationship with money, when you start taking loving care of your money, your money can actually start taking care of you.

What happens is that as you start to demystify money and create a simple money system for yourself, you shift old stories.

Stories that say I’m not good with money”

And that changes your energy around money, which helps make you magnetic to more.

Because when you start to feel positive, empowered, and good about your finances, you start to feel SAFE.

And at the end of the day, that’s what we link money to – a feeling of SAFETY.

Most of us were never taught how to manage our finances.

We weren’t shown how to make sure the bills get paid – and still have fun money to play with. How to enjoy our money – and put it to work for us.

We’re given a job, a pay slip, a credit card, a car loan, rent to pay, a mortgage and a bunch of bills. And then we’re just expected to figure it out!

Meanwhile, money is kind of a big deal in our lives!

And when everyone around you just expects you to know what to do, it’s easy to fall into a pattern of silent money shame.

Before you know it, we’re all doing it! We’re just winging it & hoping for the best. But we don’t really know what we’re doing, or if it’s the smartest or best thing to be doing.

This creates all this stress and tension that feeds into those old stories of “I’m not good with money.”

But it’s not that you’re not good with money!
It’s just that nobody’s ever shown you what to do!

So when you can finally sit down and put together a simple money management system to help you organize your finances, it changes everything!

You can let go of those old stories, your energy around money shifts, and that naturally makes you magnetic to more.


Most people who take a mindset or an energetic approach to money think they just need to manifest more. They tend to ignore the whole ‘taking care of your money’, part of the puzzle.

But as an ex-finance professional, as a hypnotherapist and as a manifesting mentor, I know THAT is actually the most critical piece of the puzzle!

Because when you make peace with your money, everything changes!

That’s when money can start to flow to you more freely. That’s when it can stay around to grow and multiply.

So I hope this encourages you to look at some of your old belief systems around money and maybe start to become more open to learning how to take better care of your money.

Let me know in the comments below how you feel about it. Is this giving you some aha moments and challenging you to start looking at money in a whole different way?

This is not about budgeting and doing the boring stuff.

This is about taking loving care of your money – so your money can start to take loving care of you ❤️
