Spiritual Business Myth Buster If You Build It, They Will Come... Or Will They?
As a business coach for dynamic spiritual entrepreneurs I speak to gifted metaphysical practitioners every day who have invested their time, money and energy into learning their specific craft.
Among my clients are Reiki practitioners, tarot specialists, spiritual and shamanic counselors, raw food experts, and metaphysical ministers. All of whom have tremendous gifts to share with the world. And all of whom have one common challenge... finding clients!
The problem is that when these amazing women learned to do whatever it is that they do so well, no one ever told them that the next step in bringing their unique skills into the world was to learn to market them.
The truth is, you can't just expect to get your training, hang out a shingle and have clients pouring into your practice... no matter how gifted or talented you are. Because no matter how life-altering your services, if nobody knows about them, you're not fulfilling your spiritual mission to help and serve others.
Fortunately, the solution is easy...all you have to do is get some support around marketing your spiritual business.
What's All This Fear Around Marketing?
If you're resisting marketing your spiritual business and you're still operating on the "If you build it they will come premise," I'm willing to bet that you're struggling at least a little in your practice.
No doubt the clients you have love the work you're doing with them. And you know that if you could only reach more people with your message, your business would take off.
Yet if you're like most spiritual entrepreneurs you still have a sense of fear and trepidation around the concept of marketing. In my experience this usually stems from one of two things...
1st ~ You Don't Want To Market Your Spiritual Business
Some spiritual practitioners still associate marketing with corporate America and a masculine greed paradigm that feels totally out of alignment with their spiritual purpose as a healer, counselor or practitioner.
The truth is, when done correctly and with the proper intention to guide it, marketing your spiritual business can be a divinely feminine expression of your soul's purpose on this planet.
So I want you to learn to LOVE marketing your services. Because from an energetic standpoint, you want every aspect of your spiritual business ~ from your marketing to your client care ~ to carry the loving and nurturing feelings of connection and integrity.
2nd ~ You Don't Know HOW To Market Your Spiritual Business
Most of the time when people tell me they don't feel comfortable marketing what's really going on is that they simply don't know HOW to market in a way that feels in alignment with their spiritual truth.
Not knowing about something makes it seem foreign, frightening and sometimes overwhelming. This sense of fear and overwhelm usually results in two actions...
First, you'll make some sporadic attempts to market your business without a real plan of action or strategy behind it. Unfortunately, the results for this type of marketing are usually pretty disappointing.
This leads to the second action, which is... well...inaction. A common human response when we don't know how to do something is to do nothing at all. It's comfortable, it's easy and it's not scary. But it also allows you to stay stuck and keeps your gifts from reaching the people who need them the most.
So ask yourself now, what is the cost of your inaction? How many people are being denied your unique transformational services simply because they don't know about them? And how many people might benefit if you made the decision right now to truly let your light shine?
Think about that. And, if you're serious about helping more people and building a successful spiritual business, it's time to TAKE ACTION!
Here's Your Goddess Action Step
If you're hiding out and not marketing your business, or you've done some marketing with disappointing results, I want you to know it's not your fault! All you need is a little guidance.
