Emerging Entrepreneur Consulting Program:
A Testimonial
I have been self-employed in the healing arts and personal growth business for over thirty years. I have always loved my work. It's unique, it's fulfilling, it's fun, it feeds my soul; and it has allowed me to travel to nearly forty countries. On several occasions, I enjoyed fantastic financial success; and a few times I went through "starving artist" or monk-like periods. But in general, my work has provided me with a good average net income.
I've been a friend and a fan of Phil Laut for most of that time. I gained a great deal from his first book, "Money Is My Friend." It helped me to resolve some conflicts between my spiritual aspirations and my worldly obligations. And I got so much from his latest book, "Wealth Without A Job," that I enrolled in his coaching program. That was almost three years ago. Within two months of our first consultation, I had the best financial week of my career (over $15k). But that's when Phil's insights and advice really began to pay off.
During a subsequent coaching call, he sensed that I was thinking of that week as very unusual-as an exception to the rule. In fact I considered it a fluke. I was quite happy asking and expecting between one and two thousand dollars a week for my coaching and training services. It was normal. But he recommended a simple shift in my thinking. And the result was nothing less than profound. He suggested that I look at that week not as an abnormally high blip in my earning pattern, but to dare to think of it as the "new normal."
His insight into how consciousness works, and my willingness to open to more, changed everything. I thought: "Why not? I'm the best in the world at what I do. It is extremely valuable work. Yes, let this be my new normal!" Soon afterwards, a very interesting thing happened. I negotiated a program with a new group of organizers in Europe. Everyone was very pleased with the outcome of the event. And in the end, they cheerfully paid me exactly what they had agreed-but it was almost 50% more than I expected. It turned out that while I was thinking in dollars, they had been thinking in euros. Outrageous success!
Now it's normal for me to work half as much as I did, and earn twice as much as before. I've been investing my free time in a life-long dream: creating an intentional community, a nature resort/spiritual retreat, and a teaching and learning center. With a small group of friends, we are developing "Baja Bio Sana," in beautiful Los Cabos, Mexico. I only work three of four months of the year. The rest of the time I'm hiking in the mountains, playing in the garden, soaking in the hot springs, or sitting in the orchard not sure which to enjoy: a mango, a plum, a guava, an orange, a papaya, or an avocado. Ah, the stress of it all!
Soon I'll be focusing on another dream: writing a book (or several of them) on Breath and Breathing. When I do, you can be sure that I will turn to Phil Laut for his remarkable insights and his razor-sharp advice. Because everyone can use a coach-even us coaches!
With love and gratitude to the all and the small,
