Published

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!)

Abundance Mindset Image

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!

Abundance Haircuts In December 2021 Image

Abundance Haircuts is a sutra based on the Tibetan calendar. It reveals the negative consequences of cutting your hair on the bad days and the incredible benefits of cutting it on the good days. Dates of Abundance Haircuts are calculated according to extremely complex formulas by experienced Feng Shui Masters.

Most people in the Western world have never heard about abundance haircuts. While for Eastern people, it’s not a new practice. This article will share this powerful sutra and give you a calendar for abundance haircuts in February 2023, with good and bad days for haircuts. Pay attention to what day you’re picking for your next hair appointment – only choose good days for abundance haircuts in February 2023.

Why Is Hair So Important?

Since ancient times, people have given hair a sacred meaning. It was thought that people could connect with the Universe through one’s hair. Hair serves as an “antenna” and “guide” between our world and the world of Heaven. And so far, this knowledge has not lost its relevance. Hair connects us with Higher forces, cosmic energy, God, and Higher consciousness. By connecting through the hair to the Cosmos, we can fill ourselves with the energies of abundance and health.

Good Days to Cut Your Hair In April 2021 Image

There were many beliefs associated with hair; some of them have survived to the present day. For example: in any case, you should not get a haircut by yourself, as in this case, deformation of your energy field may happen, which can lead to health problems and energy loss. It is also not recommended to get a haircut on the days of a lunar or solar Eclipse: the hair can suffer, weaken, and lose shine and volume.

What Are “Abundance Haircuts”?

It has long been known that there are days when it is especially favorable to cut hair. Among these days, there are days of “Abundance haircuts.”

Abundance haircuts are a special ritual to attract abundance flows into your life. It is good to say abundance affirmations and mantras on this day. So you will strengthen the ritual haircut and make it a more effective and efficient force.

Here are examples of the mantras:

For wealth and abundance: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MAMA BASU PUSHTIM KURU SOHA
Mantra for vitality and life force increase: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MARITSE YE TSE BHRUM NRI DZA SOHA
For fame, power, and charisma: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE BODHI CITTA SOHA
Mantra for health and longevity: OM TARE TUTTARE TURE MAMA AYUR PUNYE JNANA PUSHTIM KURU YE SOHA
For magnetism and attractiveness: OM TARE TAM SOHA

If you are not a mantra practitioner, you can use affirmations instead.

Examples of abundance affirmations:

I deserve to be abundantly happy and healthy!
My abundance is constantly growing!
I always have money for everything I need!
Money comes to me easily and fast!
I’m grateful for my abundant life!

What Are the Lucky Colors In 2023 (According to Feng Shui)?

Published

January 17, 2023

Katya Ki

According to Chinese metaphysics, each year vibrates at its own unique frequency and resonates with particular colors. Each color has different strengths and represents one of the five elements of Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire. Using the lucky colors in 2023 will help you improve your good fortune. To do this, you need to know color compatibilities and their resonance with the elements of the year.

In this article, I will share how to determine your lucky colors in 2023 to make this year auspicious and prosperous!

Lucky Colors In 2023

According to Chinese metaphysics, five main colors represent the five elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and Wood. We consider the year to be balanced when we have all five elements presented in the annual Paht Chee chart. However, according to the 2023 chart, this year will be unbalanced regarding the five elements. This is because there is an excess of the Wood and Fire elements, while Earth and Metal are missing from the chart. Let’s see how we can fix this and make the year more balanced.

Red, Orange & Maroon Colors Attract Wealth and Prosperity in 2023

These colors represent the Fire element and are associated with the planet Mars. Red stands for wealth, prosperity, and income this year. However, as I mentioned above, there is an excess of the Fire element in the Paht Chee annual chart this year. Therefore, we should use these fiery colors sparingly. Avoid excessive use of these colors in 2023.

White, Gold & Silver Colors Bring Support, Resources & Talent in 2023

These are the colors that represent the Metal element. The Metal element is missing from the Paht Chee chart this year; therefore, we need to bring more of these colors into our lives. In 2023, the Metal element represents talent, resources, support, and intelligence. Wearing white and metallic colors boosts the energy of the Metal element around you. This year, whenever you’re feeling a lack of inspiration, when you are in need of support, or when you need to attract resources, wear white. Use white or metallic accents in your home decor to boost the energy of the Metal element in your house. But the best activator for the Metal element is, of course, wearing gold or silver jewelry.

Yellow & Beige Colors Bring Career Advancement, Promotion & Recognition in 2023

These are the colors that represent the Earth element. The Earth element stands for recognition, promotion, career success, rank, and power this year. However, the fact that it’s missing from the chart suggests that making a successful career or getting a promotion is not going to be easy this year.

If you want to improve your career, boost your recognition, and get a promotion this year, make sure you add yellow and beige to your wardrobe. Add some yellow and beige in your office space. Put your favorite crystal (which also represents the Earth element) on your work desk. And, of course, wear jewelry made of natural stones and crystals to boost the Earth element!

Green Color Brings Intelligence, Creativity & Wisdom in 2023

This is the color that represents the Wood element and is associated with wisdom, creativity, and intelligence in 2023. If you have difficulty with strategic thinking, planning, being productive, staying focused at work, finding inspiration, or being creative, adding some green color to your wardrobe, accessories, or interior design can be very beneficial. Also, to add some Wood element to your workplace, you can place a pot with a plant in your office.

However, since there is an excess of Wood element in the year’s chart, use green color sparingly. Avoid excessive use of green in 2023.

Blue & Black Colors Bring Networking Luck, Friendship, Helpful People & Allies In 2023

These are the colors that represent the Water element. The Water element stands for friendship, networking, helpful people, allies, and supporters in 2023. Wearing these colors and adding them to your interior design will help to widen your social and professional circles, to make a good first impression, and to bring people onto your side.
