How to build a 7 figure online business you’ll love

Imagine building a million dollar business – then deciding you need to walk away from it!

That’s what happened to Vanessa Lau. And if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone!

Because knowing how to build a 7 figure online business is just ONE part of the equation.

But ensuring this business nourishes & sustains you, not just financially, but emotionally, physically, mentally & spiritually – is another thing altogether.

If you don’t know who Vanessa Lau is, she’s a coach whose online business exploded to multiple 7 figures over the course of a few short years.

She seemingly had it all, even being featured in Forbes magazine and speaking at all the big events.

But just a few weeks ago, she announced her indefinite sabbatical! She closed her programs, cancelled all speaking engagements and scaled her team of 9 down to 1.

WHY?

She felt like she was running on an unsustainable hamster wheel. And the joy she once felt about her business was no longer there. 

This story speaks directly to the ‘Fear of Success’ so many entrepreneurs hold. The fear of what happens if your business succeeds. What if it does so well you can no longer keep up?

For women, especially mothers or anyone who’s ever suffered corporate burnout, this is an especially frightening scenario.

Burnout is why I jumped off the fast track of my Engineering & Corporate Development career.

How about you? Do you fear burnout? Have you experienced it before? Let me know in the comments!

The great news is there are strategies you can implement to avoid business burnout.

Because you want a business that is financially successful, but also feels aligned AND sustainable – WITHOUT getting trapped on a hamster wheel.

One that nourishes you instead of depleting you.

So today, we’ll cover 5 principles that will help you create a sustainable & aligned business – and ensure you enjoy the journey along the way!

I’ll also share a hot tip to get you there faster along with the 2 questions that help you do so.


Let’s get into it!

 

 

Principle #1: Core Values



Your core values are what light you up most in life. They’re the reason certain things feel so great to you.

They connect you to your inner joy & sense of fulfilment – they’re what life is ultimately all about for you.

This is why core values are the very first thing I cover with my VIPs and my Aligned Business Mastermind.

Core values become your North Star, the guiding light that ensures your business lights you up, each & every day.

They should permeate every part of your business as well as HOW you do things, WHEN you do them, how OFTEN you do them, WHO WITH and WHO FOR. 

Designing your business AROUND your core values is essential to building a business that truly aligns with your soul so you can feel deeply fulfilled every step of the way.

If you’d like some help uncovering your core values and creating more life balance, then grab my book Today’s Woman – Life Balance Secrets. Just click here to have it posted to you.


A lack of alignment with my core values is what caused me to leave my Engineering career.

I felt like I was just going through the motions, showing up to collect a paycheck. It all felt very disconnected & meaningless with no sense of purpose.

When I quit, I had no idea what to do next – but I knew I had to get out.

I became desperately unhappy and felt like my soul was slowly being sucked out of my body.

It left such an imprint on my body, that for years later, I still felt anxiety whenever I drove past that office building.

 

Principle #2: INTEGRATE BUSINESS & ALIGNMENT STRATEGIES

 

Most people create their business strategy, then try to shove alignment into the gaps.

But that’s a recipe for disaster!

Instead, you want to design your business strategy AROUND your alignment strategy.

 

You need the way you operate your business to support the ways in which you nourish your soul.

It’s critical to take care of yourself as you take care of your business – and doing it BY DESIGN is the key to maintaining a sense of balance in life.



Principle #3: ALIGNED EFFECTIVENESS

There’s a big difference between being effective, being productive and being efficient. 

Being productive is about getting lots done.
Being efficient is about getting it done fast.
But being EFFECTIVE is about doing what truly matters.

When you take it a step further and practise ALIGNED EFFECTIVENESS, you’re getting into alignment BEFORE you get to work on the most important things that move the needle in your business!

This allows you to tap into an unlimited supply of energy & enthusiasm that fuels you from within.

It means you’re being pulled along by inspiration, rather than needing to be pushed by motivation.

 

In my finance business which I started after my divorce, I still didn’t get this right.

I started that business from a place of desperately wanting to create financial stability for myself and my children. I wanted to be my own boss and have a financially successful business.

And I did it – but something was missing.

The business was running me instead of me running the business.

 

And before you know it, again felt like I was going through the motions. I had to force myself to go to work & everything felt heavy.

It started to feel just like my corporate job.


Yes, I loved the money and I loved helping my clients achieve their dreams.

But I didn’t enjoy the pressure & deadliness, the mindless nitpicking over details and being at the mercy of banks and credit managers on power trips.

I had used my business as a means to an end, rather than creating it to fulfil my needs along the way.

 

I was very blessed because I could hand it all over to my husband while I built a new business that truly lit me up, armed with everything I’d learnt along the way.

I not only got to do the work I wanted to do in the way I wanted to do it – I also got to FEEL the way I wanted to feel while I was doing it!

Leaving the finance business I’d worked so hard to create as a broke single mum was a scary thing to do. But I knew it was necessary if I wanted to avoid burning out again and ever feel truly fulfilled by my work. 

 

Principle #4: GOLDEN RULES


Enforcing your golden rules is essential to retaining a sense of balance and maintaining your energetic alignment.

The trick is to be clear on what they are and to make them non-negotiable.

This will ensure you’re building a business that suits YOU, not others.

So what are golden rules?

Golden rules are guidelines you set for yourself that will ensure your business remains in alignment with your values and your soul’s needs.

GOLDEN RULES KEEP YOU SANE

 

Here’s some examples:

  • no more than 2 client facing hours per day 
  • no more than 2 out of office meetings per week. 
  • NEVER work Fridays 
  • Meditate BEFORE checking messages in the morning


Your golden rules will be your own, but whatever they are, they should honour your core values and support your alignment strategy.

 


Principle #4: GOLDEN GOOSE (LIBERATED)

 

What’s a Golden Goose?

YOU are the Golden Goose, baby!

 

Your time and energy are precious & irreplaceable resources.

Which means that every player and process in your business should be supporting and protecting you so you can play your role.

 

Here are 2 principles that will help:
1. Know what’s urgent vs what’s IMPORTANT

  1. Less is more! 

 

You need to be willing to delete or delegate tasks and projects.

 

To help you decide what to delete or delegate, just ask these 2 questions:
1. Does this task need to be done at all?

  1. If so – can it be done by someone else?

 

This will go a long way towards simplifying your business so you can focus on the things that are truly important and actually move the needle.

It will help avoid you spinning your wheels & burning out on low level tasks that don’t need to be done at all – or make very little difference.

And if you’re reading this, thinking, “I really need help but feel like I can’t afford it!”, then be sure to catch the next episode! Because that is exactly what we’re going to cover for you.

You can manifest anything you want – if you DO THIS!

You can manifest anything you want – provided you can create momentum & reach critical mass based on the consistent choices you make.

Manifesting your desires and dreams into reality is not just about setting goals and visualizing them.

It involves doing the inner work necessary to reach a critical mass where that new reality becomes your normal, everyday INTERNAL STATE.

Achieving critical mass takes a consistent effort of aligning with the person you want to become and tapping into the power of momentum to help you tip over so that new reality becomes the NEW YOU.

It means constantly and consistently making choices that serve you – focusing on positive thoughts and emotions, while letting go of negative self-doubt and limiting beliefs – so that momentum can build, which helps you get to critical mass faster.

So if you’re not getting the results you want in your business or personal life, it might be because you’re waiting for permission from external sources.

And this stops you from achieving the 3 key factors to achieving any new goal:

  1. Critical mass
  2. Inner transformation
  3. Momentum

Let’s break it down:

1.Critical mass 

To become a new version of yourself who can achieve new things, you need to reach a certain level of consistent behavior and mindset.

It takes more than just writing down goals, creating a vision board and reciting a few affirmations.

You need to do the work internally and continually shift your state of being to align with that more abundant version of yourself.

This requires you to be brutally honest with yourself and make the effort to feel a little bit better – a little more abundant – a little more aligned – each & every day until this ‘new you’ becomes your natural state.

Until you BECOME her.

2. Inner work

There is a process required of shifting your state of being and aligning with the version of yourself you want to become.

This involves choosing to go to a better feeling place where you can imagine and FEEL  yourself enjoying your desired outcome.

This is a choice you need to make over and over and over again –  regardless of external circumstances. Inner work is a lifelong commitment, and as you continually do it, you will reach critical mass and start to grow & evolve, faster & faster.

3. Momentum


This is the third factor in achieving that tipping point.

Momentum comes as a result of consistently making the right choices and building positive energy.

If you make positive choices, you build positive momentum, and you reach critical mass faster.

However, if you keep making negative choices, you build negative momentum, and it becomes increasingly difficult to pull yourself out of that and make positive choices.

To reach critical mass so you can tip over & become that NEW YOU, it’s essential to make positive choices as often as possible. To feel good – and then a little better and a little better – over & over & over again so you can build positive momentum.

That’s how this process becomes easier.

But it starts with a decision & the willingness to shift your internal state – the way you FEEL – to a better, higher vibing place – again & again.

It’s about choosing to feel good – and always looking for ways to feel even better – regardless of external circumstances.

Once positive momentum builds, it will get so much easier.

And eventually that positive momentum, assisted by those continual choices to shift your vibration to a higher state, will help you achieve critical mass and reach that tipping point.

And that is when that manifestation can finally pop – seemingly out of nowhere!

Do I need energetic protection? Not if you do this!

Do I need energetic protection? Not if you do this!

After a couple of weeks in Magnetic Money, students usually come to me and ask ”Do I need energetic protection?”

It basically goes like this,
Miriam. I’m loving this high vibe thing. Things are starting to shift & I’m starting to attract more money & abundance – but PLEASE tell me!! How do I protect my vibration? How do I protect my energy and STAY in alignment when there’s all these negative influences & people around me?”


But a better question is “Do I need energetic protection in the first place?”

A lot of people will tell you that you need energetic protection. They’ll tell you to put a bubble of white light around yourself, or imagine a shield that protects your vibration and your energy from negative influences.

And I’m here to completely & utterly DISAGREE with that.

You do NOT need energetic protection! And here’s why:

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

Law of Attraction is  a term we use to describe what happens when you get momentum going on a certain frequency – on a certain vibration. You start attracting more & more things that match that frequency. That’s Law of Attraction. (I cover the 5 rules of Law of Attraction for you in this episode)

If you want to attract more abundance, you have to raise your vibration. That’s because MORE abundance than  you now have, equals a HIGHER FREQUENCY than you’re currently on.

When you can do that successfully – raise your vibration and STAY there – momentum builds. And once you’ve done that, you’ll be attracting only things that match that vibration.

So then you no longer need to worry about attracting things that are not a match to that vibration!

The only reason you WOULD be attracting things that are not a match to that vibration is because you’re not really there. You’re not as stable as you think you are. There’s still some of that old negative vibration hanging around.

So what you REALLY need to do is focus on STABILIZING your vibration.

Then it becomes a protective shield where things that are not a match to that vibration will literally bounce off. In fact, that’s not correct. They’re not there at all, because you cannot attract what you are not a match to. They simply are not part of your reality anymore.

A high vibe is natural immunity against a low vibe and negative energy!

So you don’t need to protect your vibration. What you do NEED to do is to fix it – stabilise it!

I’d love you to share with me in the comments:
Have you ever tried to protect your vibe? What did you do & how did it go?

Ok, let’s talk about why trying to protect your vibe is actually one of the WORST things you can do.

See, when you decide that you need protection, you’re dropping your vibration. You’re saying, “I’m vulnerable, bad things may come to me!” And so just THINKING that you need to protect your vibration means you’re lowering it. You’re basically dropping your defensive shield!

The key to keeping up that shield and keeping up your natural immunity to low energy & negative people is to STAY on a high vibration.

Putting up an energetic barrier or bubble also means you’re cutting yourself off from the higher vibration, your higher self and the energy of your source – which means you no longer have access to the guidance, ideas, inspirations, etc that flows from that place.

You’re literally leaving yourself stranded, having to battle it out alone without your connection to that higher vibe.

You’re cutting yourself off from the very thing that will help you THROUGH obstacles and challenges!

Now, one of the best ways to consistently raise & maintain your vibration is with a regular meditation practice.
When that meditation also aligns you with the vibration of abundance and programs your unconscious to keep doing it automatically, long after you get out of your meditation chair… that is powerful stuff!

That’s what today’s freebie is, so be sure to grab that now.

And if you enjoyed this episode please let me know in the comments!
I’d love to hear your thoughts & insights!

How to raise your vibration and manifest abundance in business

How to raise your vibration and manifest abundance in business

Have you ever tried to manifest abundance into your business & it totally bombed? Well today we’re going to talk about WHY that happened.

To manifest abundance, money, success, clients, ideas, inspiration & opportunities into your business, you need to know how to raise your vibration and become a vibrational match to the vibration of abundance.

That’s kind of all you need to know.  But it’s not that simple, right? Because HOW exactly do you do that?

In this episode, we’re going to talk about why WHAT you do actually doesn’t really matter and what DOES matter.

And today’s freebie is a simple 1-page cheat sheet that takes you through 5 simple tweaks most people need to make if they want to start manifesting more abundance, more success, more money, and prosperity into their business and life.

But first, let’s talk about what works – and what doesn’t work when it comes to knowing how to raise your vibration so you can manifest more abundance.

When I first came across the secret, I was a broke, single mum. I was pretty desperate and so I did EVERYTHING! \I made vision boards, I practiced visualization. I recited affirmations till I was blue in the face, I wrote my goals each day. I did it all. It sort of worked some of the time and a lot of the time I was just working hard. 

But then I dug a little deeper and discovered what the secret behind the secret is. And this little tweak that makes all the difference. That’s when my business exploded, I hit a multiple 6-figure leveraged income, bought properties, married the man of my dreams, moved into the house of my dreams and life changed quite drastically and also became a whole lot easier.

I also share this secret behind the secret with the students in my Magnetic Money program and as soon as they start to implement this one little tweak, their life starts to feel completely different. They suddenly feel abundant. They notice the abundance all around them and more abundance starts to flow.

So let’s talk about why some of those things you’ve done in the past worked and others didn’t. See, there’s a very simple reason. It’s because when you’re looking to manifest, you’re looking to communicate with the Universe.

And the Universe doesn’t actually hear what you say or what you do!

It doesn’t care what you put on your vision board, what affirmations you recite or what goals you write. It doesn’t hear or see any of those things. The language of the Universe is vibration. That’s how the law of attraction works. 

We have the law of vibration where all is the vibration and then the law resonance. And like attracts like. 

So it’s not what you did that made it ‘work’, but what you felt when you did it. Some of the things you did made you feel abundant and helped you match the vibration of abundance. And some of those things didn’t make you feel abundant. In fact, they probably made you feel like you’re working really hard, or just reminded you that it’s not working. And so you weren’t feeling abundant. You were doing the THING, but you weren’t FEELING the vibration. And that’s why some things worked and some didn’t work.

So I know your next question will be, “How do I know which things will help me feel abundance so the Universe hears me and brings me what I want?”

Well, I’m going to tell you that in a moment, but first I want to know:
What weird and crazy things have you done to try and manifest abundance?

I know I’ve done some really weird stuff, involving the moon, crystals, certain drinks – even the way I walk and what I eat.

So what’s something weird or crazy you’ve done in the past to try & attract more money & abundance? I’d love you to share with me in the comments below.

Okay. So back to that question, “What do I do to raise my vibration and feel more abundant, so I can attract more abundance, Miriam?”

Well, that’s surprisingly simple!

Just focus on building daily little habits that make you feel abundant.

See, Most people hold back on allowing themselves to feel abundant and enjoy where they’re at, because they’re afraid the Universe won’t deliver what they want if they seem too happy.

But that’s backwards. That is not how it works. The Universe will deliver you whatever you are a vibrational match to. So you’re allowed to feel good now. You’re allowed to feel abundant now. You’re allowed to enjoy your life right now. And the more you do, the more easily you will attract and manifest the abundance, the prosperity, the clients, the money, the opportunities, and all those good things.

So simply ask yourself, “What makes me feel really abundant? What makes me feel really prosperous that I already have and can do in my life right here right now?” 

And then go do it. Do as often and as much as possible. It will align you with the vibration of prosperity and abundance. It will automatically magnetize to you the money, abundance, the clients and all those awesome things you’re after.

I’m giving you permission right here right now to feel abundant NOW. To enjoy your life, to celebrate the magnificence of all that you have, and to do those things that really allow you to feel good and thoroughly enjoy the abundance that you already have in your life – right now.

Now I will just say that when it comes to the topic of money, things can get a little bit tricky.

Most people tend to get it backwards when they start focusing on money specifically. And that’s because we have a lot of baggage and there’s a lot at stake, right? 

That’s why I created the Manifesting Abundance Quick-Fix. It takes you through 5 simple tweaks and shifts that you can make straight away to ensure that you don’t get it backwards and accidentally start repelling rather than attracting money.

Just click below to access that for free right now.

Remember, it’s time to embrace your unlimited potential and you are absolutely ready to take the next step. I’ll see you next time. Have a beautiful day. Bye for now.
