I want to share something about what I’ve found to be very difficult when it comes to being a Spiritual Entrepreneur.
I had a calling over a decade ago that felt like I was meant to channel messages in the form of blog posts.
“You have to tell them this, Nicole”, I would hear (I’m clairaudient).
And so I would.
I learned WordPress. Set up a blog and started to write.
About 20 or so of my family and friends read and commented about it.
But… that didn’t feel like fulfilling a calling. It didn’t satisfy the longing I had that I had come to the planet at this time to do SOMETHING.
So I worked harder. I took blogging courses and was in blog groups where we shared each other’s posts. I learned how to make Pinterest graphics and write better content.
And still… very few people would comment on my blog posts and I didn’t know if it was reaching anyone. No matter how much effort I put in!
I did my “inner work” too! I worked with mentors and coaches, both business and spiritual. Nothing seemed to change the outcome; I put out more energy and effort than was returned in terms of traffic, followers, or subscribers.
When you have a calling…
You see, my calling wasn’t to write (though I LOVE writing). My calling was to help people.
My calling is to make awakening easier, especially as it relates to your life’s work. I felt an all-consuming pull to deliver the messages coming through me, and it didn’t feel like they were being delivered.
I did “all the things” the experts say to do. I wrote to an avatar (THIS post explains why I no longer believe in Avatars ), focused on reaching just one person, and learned SEO so people can find me in a google search. You name it. I tried it.
After a while, I made an unpopular decision. I decided to write when I felt like it. I would publish posts when I felt moved to. I would let clients find me and balance my Intuitive Writing with my family life.
It’s been a VERY HARD thing to do. It meant I had to stop worrying. Stop watching the numbers. No longer care about traffic or subscriber counts.
I WANTED TO LET MY WORK SHOW ME WHAT IT WANTED ME TO DO.
Because when I was writing to those 20 family and friends in my first blog, I loved it. I wasn’t questioning anything; I would just go for my morning walk, give the kids some toys to play with, and write away.
That’s what I think is so hard about being a Spiritual Entrepreneur.
Where are your people?
You want to help people but don’t know how to reach them!
You want to fulfill your purpose, but you may not know how to support it financially.
And if you have an open root chakra and have grown up with the other shoe dropping and scarcity – it’s a challenging leap of faith, to say the least.
My advice (if you want to hear it because what works for me may not work for you) is to decide how you feel about your intuitive downloads.
Do you trust them? How much do you trust them?
When I decided I either trusted my intuition or I didn’t, that’s what finally made me stop being concerned about my numbers and TRUST that everything is unfolding as it should.
It allowed me to stand in my power.
I’ve also learned my audience can be quiet. My audience prefers to email or DM me rather than comment on a post.
I’ve met people years later who will tell me one of my posts helped them and I had no idea!
I just put it out there. And I get unsubscribes and new subscribers just like everyone else.
Some of my launches are successful, and some were met with crickets.
The only difference is that now I trust my intuitive guidance, and I’m seeing where it leads me.
And I keep getting the most amazing clients, who have found me in a google search when I went against what the SEO says to do…
I’ve learned the universe will just handle things if we can get out of our own way, get better at accessing our intuition, and then TRUST it! Which isn’t easy… believe me, I know.
Whatever you are doing in the world, I think you’re making more of a difference than you think. You may just have a quiet audience or be part of a bigger plan.
Just know that it’s not always easy to trust your intuition when it comes to your livelihood and your financial security, but if you get really clear on how to access it then it’s time to stop second guessing it!
You can always work your side hustle or plan for the day when you’re all in on your business or career growth. My advice would be to carry out your intuition AS YOU RECEIVED IT instead of taking a baby step, not seeing the results you expected and starting over.
It can take time for the universe to line up your dreams and for you to have the vibration to allow it. Learning to stay the course because you KNOW your intuition wasn’t wrong is a power move when it comes to getting what you want and fulfilling your soul’s desires.
Do you trust your intuition when it comes to your business or career? And if so, how much do you trust it?
Even if you write and it seems like no one is listening?
Even if you share on social media and it looks like no one is viewing it?
Even if you feel 100% driven to create a digital product and no one buys it the first time?
You may be one small tweak away from something great.
Second guessing may be just the energy to derail you.
Learn to trust your intuition and go for it!
XoXo,
