I actually love this question. At least once a month, someone marvels at the fact that I am NOT actively advertising, or reaching out to potential businesses and consulting clients with some kind of sales funnel. The idea that clients might just come to YOU can be very foreign. The concepts of sales funnels, prospecting and marketing is so tightly sewn into the fabric of our business culture. But it\u2019s more of a straight jacket than a nice, comfortable and relaxed outfit. If you actually enjoy that stuff, I applaud you. Your skills will be in high demand. But I actually really really really do not enjoy that stuff. I have studied it and failed to grasp it. And it sucks the life out of me. So I had to find another way. Joyously, as you hit Stages 10 and 11 and become well versed in consciousness, purpose, and designing your ideal life, you can leave sales and marketing behind. I don\u2019t do advertising and sales because I am not looking for clients – clients are looking for ME. I am not famous. But I don\u2019t need to be. Clients appeared because I decided the time was right. They appeared in exactly the numbers and volume I chose. Because I chose it that way. Name any aspect of my life and ask me how I did that and the answer is the same. First, I decided that it would be that way. And then it became that way. There is focused meditative effort in the middle. Sometimes a lot. Sometimes a single session. If these types of methods are not working for you yet, it\u2019s OK. You will get there. As you progress through the stages, your efforts to design and manifest the life you want, in every aspect, will become more and more effective. Anyone can get there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
