How To Turn Passion Into Profit: The Abundance Mindset

Published

September 25, 2018

In this article, I share transformational tips and insights on how to Turn Passion Into Profit. We’ve all heard the saying ‘practice makes perfect’. Well, I say, ‘passion is perfection’.

Let me explain

When we are passionate about something, we come from a place of pure and unblemished desire. A place of inspiration, light, and love. The driving force is just that – a flow of positive energy that is unstoppable!

In fact, it is our inherent right to claim this divine gift and even more – share this abundance mindset with the world.

It all starts with a passionate heart. Followed by a purposeful plan.

For this particular article, I focus on achieving financial abundance through a growth and altruistic mindset.

Let’s dive in deeper!

Passion Flicker & How to Implement

When we harness our burning desire for good and lead from our truest selves, we create opportunities that can lead to great abundance!

You see, it is the passionate ones who shake things up, who challenge the status quo. The disrupters, the innovators, the change makers, and the success magnets!

In order for you to create your own success – sustain and increase – you must leverage your passion, integrate this with your pure intention behind it and adopt strategic plans that are aligned with your soul’s purpose.

TIP: To achieve success— passion must go hand-in-hand with a plan.

Purposeful Plan & How to Leverage

When passion, desire, and intention collide we are set on a course for our higher good. So, use this as a springboard to then tap into your skills and expertise from previous jobs or industries. Pull from the areas you excelled in from your past roles and parlay those strengths and areas of expertise into your new endeavor or business idea.

No need to completely reinvent the wheel! Build upon your strengths and apply the appropriate processes and best practices you are already familiar with implementing and fine-tune as needed.

The 2A’s (Awareness & Alignment) Process

The Significance of Awareness

Rooted in mindfulness, awareness is the foundation. So please take stock in all of the milestones (and mishaps) that have led you to this point. And know that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Consider the steps you’ve taken to get you to this point.

Please understand that you most certainly do have the choice to up-level your career or take a turn. The choice is yours. The choice is always yours if you have awareness.

OK, now think about your current mindset. And, ask yourself:

What is the catalyst for me to CHANGE IT UP?
Does my mindset serve the greater good for my business trajectory?
What does success look and feel like to me?
Do I have a growth or fixed mindset in relation to my business aspirations?

INSIGHT: Fixed Mindset = Failure is the limit of my abilities

Growth Mindset = Failure is an opportunity to grow

The Importance of Alignment

When you come from a place of true intention that’s aligned with your soul’s greater purpose, you are organically paving the way to profit.

And, by merging your passion with industry best practices, along with a deep knowledge of your own offerings, your inspiration will pour out. In return, you will draw your ideal customers and clients to you. (hence, the ‘success magnet’ mentioned in the beginning of the article!)

Please ask yourself the following questions to ensure alignment:

What is the driving force behind building my new business?
Am I allowing other people’s opinions or ideas to impact my development/plan?
Am I providing a solution to an unmet need in my industry?
How will I differentiate myself from my competitors?
Do I feel energized, inspired, and excited about my new business endeavor?
When trying to accomplish the goals I’ve created to get my business going do I feel exhausted, confused, or anxious?

TIP: Gut Check – A great way to know if you are aligned with your soul’s purpose in business is to see how you feel as you are doing that specific task or creating your new service or product line.

OK, Now Let’s Talk Profitability!

Profit—financially—Yes!

But, before the money can flow – profit within first! Please consider your answers to the above questions to see if you must change your mindset or if you are aligned with focusing on overall fulfillment instead of lasering in on the money itself.

If you follow this soulful approach—backed by an industry desired product or service, along with a solid business plan, the profit will follow.

TIP: Don’t chase money— instead, let money flow to you!

Tactical Business Advancement

Once you have gone deep within to make sure you are aligned with your profit path, consider setting—

SMART(S) GOALS.

I often use the SMART method when working with new clients to establish short (and long) term goals. However, I add an S to this common practice for soulful.

So, my version of this goal development formula is:

Specific – What exactly do you want to accomplish (who, what, where, why)?

Measurable – How will you know it is achieved?

Attainable – How can the goal be reached?

Realistic – Is it relevant and appropriate?

Time Bound – When can I achieve this goal?

Soulful – Is this aligned with my higher good?

You can utilize this exercise to create your new business ‘to-do’ list. Start with short-term goals first. You see, the more you accomplish on a daily basis (even small tasks) the better you feel – the more you are injecting confidence and joy into your day – therefore increasing productivity and profitability.

INSIGHT: Allow your passion to be the generator that is fueling you with positive energy to catapult you forward!

Another helpful principle I created for you to leverage is:

3 Soulful Success Pillars:

1. Self-Worth

2. Motivation

3. Consistency

Increase your Self-Worth to Skyrocket your Net Worth!

In order to generate more income, we must feel worthy. Simply put, please give yourself permission to profit. Dropkick any negative attachments or guilt you may have associated with your desire to make money!

Once you remove fear, self-doubt, or limiting beliefs you clear the way for confidence and clarity to shine through your intentions. This allows you to clearly identify your strengths and build upon your areas of expertise in order to catapult you to the next level of success.

TIP: When you have a strong desire to CHANGE IT UP and create your own business (or reinvent your career), you mustn’t allow fear or self-doubt to stand in your way.

Harness Your Intrinsic Motivation

Intrinsic motivation refers to behavior that is driven by internal rewards (the feel goods) instead of externally, as extrinsic motivation demonstrates. For example, this type of motivation occurs from within self – it is naturally satisfying and goes hand-in-hand with passion.

Please keep in mind that extrinsic motivation can seem like the easier concept to hold onto when setting your initial goals. That’s because it’s tied to monetary incentives, but in the long run, you are better off going the intrinsic route.

INSIGHT: Intrinsic motivation is tied to your greater good— which is always the best path to profit!

The Art of Consistency

Once you have identified what drives you, hold yourself accountable and practice self-discipline over and over. Also be aware that practicing patience during this process is paramount.

And, please note that when we work toward challenging goals we often encounter difficulties – even setbacks. However, if you are able to change your mindset and master the art of consistency you will eventually succeed (it’s also all about timing).

Discipline is tethered to consistency. And, both are integral components on the road to a successful business.

TIP: When you don’t feel like checking a certain task off of your ‘to-do’ list, focus on how you’ll feel when you’ve finished.

From My Heart To Yours

The information shared in this article is a snippet from my powerful course—

Turn Passion Into Profit: A Guide For The Mindful Entrepreneur. I developed this program from my very own transformational career journey. In fact, I gleaned all of my business experience – best practices and even missteps to not only create this guide but to also launch my very own successful business – Change It Up, LLC.

And, it was the same success system that allowed me to harness my greatest passion and soulful pull towards helping those in crisis. Through a growth and altruistic mindset, I was able to turn my own negative life experience into a positive one by creating the non-profit foundation – AGFS Foundation, Inc.

So, if you’d like to learn more on how to become a soulful success magnet, please click here!

And remember – Intention Sparks. Passion Ignites.

In conclusion, if you stay true to your authentic self and use your passion to create intentional thoughts and action plans, you will profit – inside out!

15 Powerful Essential Oils For Money Attraction & Success

SOLANCHA STAFF

The benefits of essential oils and their ability to influence the psychoemotional state, attract subtle energies have been known since ancient times. With their help, you can achieve harmony, improve your mood, awaken creativity and even attract money. In this article, we will share with you 15 amazing essential oils for money attraction that will help you attune yourself to the energy of abundance and prosperity.

It’s More Common Than You Think!

Though it may sound new to you, essential oils for money attraction have been used since ancient times.

Ancient Eastern merchants, very rich people, before selling their goods, impregnated them with the aromas of essential oils. They did this in order not just to sell the product faster, but, more importantly, to attract a “perfect” buyer for the product – the one who would offer the highest price for it!

Nowadays, the knowledge about essential oils for money is widely used.

Hotels

It’s very common to use special scents in hotels to make guests always come back! Mina Vardar, Global Director of Rooms at Langham Hospitality Group, explains:

“Since smell is always linked to pleasure and well-being, emotion, and memory, it will help guests build stronger emotional connections with our staff and our hotel, and create a lasting impression. It makes the atmosphere at our hotels feel more inviting. I guess that it’s subliminal branding.”

Restaurants

Essential oils are often used in the restaurants for managing customers’ behavior – for making them stay longer, increasing their appetite, and even spending more money!

One study conducted in France tested lavender essential oil to see how it affects customers’ behavior. In experimental research, they found out that when exposed to lavender essential oil, customers were likely to spend more time in the restaurant (about 15 additional minutes) and spent 20% more on the final check.

Stores

It’s very common for the stores to use essential oils in a combination with music! And there is a reason for that!

One of the studies investigated the interplay between aromatherapy and the music played in the store. The customers’ evaluations of their shopping experience were enhanced when the ambient scent and background music matched.

For instance, researchers found that scenting the store with lavender scent combined with slow tempo music led to higher evaluations than using lavender paired with fast tempo music. Respectively, scenting the store with grapefruit scent combined with fast tempo music led to higher evaluations than using grapefruit with low arousal music.

As you can see essential oils are widely used for increasing sales, attracting customers, and increasing revenue. So why not to use them for your benefits?

Here are 15 very powerful essential oils for money attraction that you can use anytime to increase your income!

What Are Your Lucky Feng Shui Colors In 2021?

Published

3 weeks ago

January 5, 2021

Katya Ki

Feng Shui astrology believes that each year has its unique energy and character. Therefore, each year’s energy is expressed through one of the 12 Zodiac animals and connected to one of the 5 elements. 2021 is the year of the Metal Ox.

According to Chinese metaphysics, each year vibrates at its own unique frequency and resonates with particular colors. In this article, I will tell you everything you need to know to determine the lucky Feng Shui Colors for making 2021 your auspicious and lucky year!

Feng Shui Colors

According to Chinese metaphysics, there are 5 main colors that represent the five elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood.

Red Color

This is the color that represents the Fire element and is associated with the planet Mars. In 2021, the red color activates wealth luck. It brings increased incomes and big wealth. Therefore, wearing red is very auspicious this year. Get creative – use red accessories, red nail polish, red lipstick to attract wealth luck this year.

It’s very beneficial to use red decor in your houses, such as red decorative pillows, vases, or carpet.

Also, red is the most powerful color for attracting clients and customers. Therefore, if you have your own business, make sure you use the color red for your office or website design.

However, do not overuse this color. Remember that too much Fire energy can burn you down as well as your finances. Always use red in moderation.

Yellow Color

This is the color that represents the Earth element and is associated with stability. Yellow color radiates the energy of patience, grounding, and realism.

In 2021, yellow is the color of fame, power, recognition, and rank. Use this color in moderation as small accents in your accessories and home decor.

However, don’t overuse use it! Because the Earth element is in excess this year, too much of this color could lead to stress and worries.

White Color

This is the color that represents the Metal element and is associated with support, authority, and resources. This is the color that will help you to attract helpful people, mentors, and resources into your life. Moreover, white color can be used as a powerful protection.

Alternatively, you can use gold and silvery grey colors that also represent the Metal element.

Blue & Black Colors

These are the colors that represent the Water element and are associated with communication, friendship, networking. By wearing black or blue clothes or accessories in 2021, you are strengthening your networking abilities and will attract friends.

However, beware of overusing these colors in 2021! Since there is an excess of the Water element in the chart of this year, the excessive usage of these colors can turn friendship into competition, attract gossip, backstabbing, and betrayals. Therefore, if you’re wearing a totally black outfit, make sure you balance it with carrying a colorful bag or wearing a colorful scarf. Always add bright accessories to the black or blue outfits!

Green Color

This is the color that represents the Wood element and is associated with growth, creativity, and intelligence. In 2021, wearing the green color will make you more energized, inspired, motivated, and enthusiastic.

This is one of the most auspicious colors of the year that brings steady and healthy growth Chi. It’s also very auspicious to wear jade jewelry this year to activate your inspiration and inner growth potential!

Lucky Feng Shui Colors For Your House

Knowing your home’s lucky Feng Shui colors and elements will help you to unlock the energy potential of your house and attract abundance into your life.

Basic Feng Shui Activation

Let’s start with the basic Feng Shui activation for the year of the Metal Ox 2021:

Place a red doormat on your doorstep – for inviting wealth and prosperity into your house;
Hang three Chinese coins and bells on the entrance door – for attracting money luck;
Place some plants (preferably those that are fruiting and flowering) near your main door or in your living room or in the dining room – for activating growth energy and attracting success.

Now you are ready for charging your home with the energy of the lucky Feng Shui colors.

East-facing Houses

If your house or main door faces East, then use more green color here. You can paint your entrance area green or place some live plants here for improving family cohesiveness.

West-facing Houses

If your house or your main door faces West, place a red doormat here and use yellow and red accents in the decor design of this area.

North-facing Houses

If your house or your main door faces North, avoid yellow and other colors that represent the Earth element. Use more blue and green instead to weaken illness energy.

South-facing Houses

If your house or your main door faces South, use the colors of the Metal element (white, gold, silver) to attract success and victory luck. You can paint the area of your entrance white or use white, gold, or silver accents for decorating this area.

Southwest-facing Houses

If your house or main door faces Southwest, avoid having any plants or green color here. Instead, add red color in this area, such as a red doormat. Also, it’s very beneficial to hang bells here to neutralize quarrelsome and argumentive energies here.
