I cancelled my retreat venue for Money Magic 3.0: Tribe Edition.
31 days before the event.
The venue looked fantastic. It had the aesthetic, the right kind of rooms and the kind of online presence that makes you think, “Yes, is it.”
But… beautiful pictures are not the same as a beautiful experience.
And after a series of communications that did not meet the standard I expect for myself or my clients, I knew I had to make a decision.
Why you ask?
I was born and raised in Bermuda until I was 10 years old. My childhood was shaped by amazing 5 star hotels and restaurants. Not average high-street spaces, but places that served high-profile guests, actors, presidents, prime ministers and more. This isn’t showing off, it’s fact.
My Daddy was Head Maître d’ for more than 40 years (click to see a picture of him on Instagram)
He worked in incredible places including the Fairmont’s Southampton Princess, and he was loved by both guests and colleagues. Through him, I learned what real hospitality feels like.
One of my favourite space was “Midway” or The Empire Room, which was a famous, iconic 600-seat nightclub and showroom with a tiered layout and classic velvet horseshoe booths. They were the signature design features that defined the venue’s legendary, high-end “dinner theatre” atmosphere.
Jess Wares “Begin Again” is a tune and video that reminds we of… seeing my Daddy working on a higher tier, watching the room, the guests, making sure his teams were on point, people had what they wanted, drinks and food was served hot and to the right tables, while watching The Follies on stage. As I write this, I’m smiling and filling up at the same time.
Listen here…
It is not just clean rooms, good food or a lovely view.
It is communication. Anticipation. Attention. This is literally why I do what I do.
The feeling that you are wanted, not tolerated. The knowledge that somebody has thought about your experience before you even arrive.
This is why I have high standards
Not because I am trying to be difficult or because I expect perfection. I am human, I fall short at times and I understand that businesses sometimes get things wrong.
But I do expect care.
I expect communication that makes people feel valued rather than like an interruption to someone’s day, and like an afterthought. Wanting people to have transformation and not be treated like a transaction. Wanting them to understand where I (and my clients) am coming from. They saw “a complaint” and acted like a child being told off, rather than a leader who could learn from the feedback and do better. Perspective.
Not once did I complain. I gave feedback. There is a difference. Waiting sometimes over a week for a response, at times no acknowledgement of a request, and when it was replied to, blame was thrown onto my clients. That is not hospitality. It was arrogance and ignorance dressed as a consultant.
Also, I know people are busy. I know we are not always right. This is about how you do what you do, not just the what.
When I felt things were missing, I had to ask myself a hard question:
Am I happy putting the people, my clients, who trust me into this space?
The answer was no. “That’ll do” is not in my vocabulary.
There were a number of signs
I also need to remember that the United Kingdom isn’t Bermuda (because sometimes I don’t). Bermuda is one of the richest places in the world, by Money made per person (GDP). 5 star here isn’t, 5 star there. So I quieted my mind and said no, it’s OK. I can see us there, it’s going to be great… but I was trying to convince myself and that is something I NEVER do.
Convincing to me is… taking someone’s power away and replacing it with your own/or someone else’s “idea” of what it could be. I realised I was in love with the idea of what it could be, not with what it was.
Influencing is what I prefer and not what influencing means now. I mean, allowing people to make their own decision, based on feeling, instinct, intuition and mine was being taken over by a place that looked good, but didn’t feel right.
This is where the wobble started…
Saturday evening, I had a wobble. Cancelling a venue this close to a Retreat is not a small decision. My brain had plenty to say… “Amanda! What are you doing?”
“OMG… What if you cannot find anything else?”
“Will this makes everything harder?”
Then I remembered who I am.
- I am a Daniels. Excellence is in my bones and is one of my values and while all of this was happening I looked up at the same picture I’ve shared with you of my Daddy. He whispered… “You know what to do“.
- I’m a Customer Journey and EX/UX Specialist. I understand that every interaction shapes how someone feels about a business, a space and themselves. The interactions my clients were having were NOT what I wanted them to have or continue to have.
- Koogar was created because I believe people deserve better than below-par service dressed up in nice branding. “Deserve better” is literally why Koogar was born, because people were not getting what they deserved, they were getting ripped off and rubbish outcomes.
Back to Money Magic…
Money Magic (and my guests) deserves a venue that does more than look good.
It needs a space that can hold the depth, transformation, conversations and human beings inside it, while also delivering the care, communication and quality that make people feel truly looked after.
So I am on the hunt for a better, bolder and more experienced venue.
Because standards are not being picky.
Standards are how you show (and tell) people: you matter here and you matter to me.
More importantly, my Daddy would be proud in how I have handled this situation. Just as he would.

2025, my Year of the Snake was not a “cute spiritual theme”.
It was a year of shedding, truth‑telling and becoming someone I didn’t always recognise but deeply needed to meet.
Here are 25 things I learned from the Year of the Snake:
- Not everyone is rooting for you. And that’s okay
Some people love the older version of you because it keeps them comfortable. Your growth will trigger people who benefit from your smallness and until you know your worth, it will be a place you will remain. I chose not to.
- Clutter is a spell that keeps you stuck
Physical, digital, offer clutter, relationship clutter, it all whispers “you can’t move yet”. Clearing it is an act of courage and self‑respect. I clear my spaces at home and work, I removed things I did and went to that didn’t serve me, including people, conversations and attitudes.
- Courage doesn’t feel glamorous in the moment
My word of the year was “Courage”, and most of the time it felt like shaky hands, racing heart, and doing it anyway. I made a list of the things that sacred me at the beginning of the year and EVERY month, I ticked one off, if not a few. Let me tell you, it was a ride and one most didn’t know was happening.
- Silence is feedback
When a room goes quiet after you speak your truth, that’s data. It doesn’t mean you were wrong, it means you stopped performing and have been able to speak your truth and hold the space that comes after it, knowing that you stood for what you believe in.
- My nervous system is the real CEO
If my body didn’t feel safe, nothing moved. Not the offers, not the content, not the Money. I didn’t go for the things I wanted, I desired and would love, so regulating myself became a business strategy, not a bonus. Something that happens EVERY DAY and came in many different forms.
- Some clients/people are meant for an older version of you
And when you upgrade your identity, not all of them come with you. Last year for me was a time where I decided I wanted more and that I was going for it, because staying where I was, wasn’t an option. Releasing clients before the end of their time made space for the people who can actually meet me now AND where I want to go. This is exciting.
- Snake energy is about precision
I learned to do less, better. Fewer offers, clearer messaging, more intentional marketing, instead of constantly reinventing the wheel. I also changed somethings which sounds obvious but most people dont, they add on top of instead of removing or completely change for the fear of “it not working”. Becoming more focused on what I would love, the types of relationships and conversations I want to have become a necessity, dialling in was my key. This is knowing that your higher-self wants more!
- You can be kind and still have sharp boundaries
Kindness without boundaries is self‑abandonment. Kindness with boundaries is leadership. It shows people how to treat you, what you will tolerate and that youre not here to be a push over. For too many years I pandered to others at my own expense. Now, I discovered what is important to me because if I dont stick with my boundaries and values, they get crushed.
- Stepping into uncertainty is a muscle
The first time feels like free‑fall. The tenth time feels like, “Oh, this is the bit before the breakthrough.” I’ve been in business 20 years in Nov 2026, so the uncertainty piece is something I know and live, however, I see MANY business owners struggle with it, when it is part of the entrepreneurial and spiritual journey. They are one in the same.
- My “too much” is my magic
Every part of me I tried to tone down, be that my depth, honesty or intensity ended up being what my people were searching for. It was a breath of fresh air for them to meet someone who could hold space, without judgment, be truthful in every part of the connection and want the best for you. The way I am, is what only a few want. Ive learnt that be not fitting in or being part of the clique is what MY people are desperately searching for, so when I show up, their words are… “where have you been”
- Money responds to clarity, not chaos
When I got clear on what I was selling, to who, and why… Money started moving. Confused offers make for confused income. So, stripping things back, making my offers easier to understand and implement allowed people to move closer, quicker. January this year has been my best January for years!
- Marketing gets easier when you stop lying (to yourself)
Lying looks like… pretending you’re okay with your prices, pretending you love a niche that bores you, pretending you’re fine with being invisible when youre not. This is about lying to yourself, energy doesn’t lie and people pick up on that so when you can move based on your nature and in your own way, your marketing becomes something you enjoy, love to share and feels good.
- You can outgrow strategies you once prayed for
The systems, programs, and plans that once felt exciting can start to feel like a skin that’s too tight. It’s okay to thank them and move on. What got you here, won’t necessarily get you where you want to go. Changing what you do, your routine, can be hard and the “being okay with uncertainty” will show in your actions.
- Rest is not a reward, it’s a requirement
Snake medicine slowed me down. I created better work when I wasn’t constantly proving my productivity. As a Manifestor in Human Design (the Initiators), we dont move at the same speed as most, which is constantly. Our movement is based on urges and they are not every day at the same time, we move when we have an urge, so tapping into that has allowed me to work less, earn more and rest when I need to.
- Some bridges needed to burn
Not in a dramatic way, just in a quiet, “I don’t chase, explain or perform for you anymore” kind of way. A number of people treated me in a way I didn’t like and I needed to remove myself from their presence to never return. At first it felt like I was cutting my nose off despite my face, but then realised once the cords were cut, my energy was drained, taken or abused and that felt good.
- Your work deepens when you let yourself deepen
The more inner work I did around Money, identity and visibility, the more powerful and precise my outer work became. Since changing to an Identity Architect, Ive realised this is what my clients come to me for. To understand more about them, how they move, what makes them tick and how they can create a business that allows them to be them, when I gave that gift to myself, everything became easier.
- There’s a difference between privacy and hiding
I learned which parts of my life are sacred (kept close) and which parts are medicine (shared with my community). Not everything has to be shared with everyone. Some people think they can’t share anything, while others think everyone NEEDS to know their story, the truth is there is a balance.
- Your business can’t outgrow your self‑concept
Until I saw myself as the successful mixed woman who could hold more Money, more impact and more responsibility, the business kept looping at the same level. You know when you hit a ceiling and can’t get past it? That. Your identity is the key to your next level; you need to be able to go there and do the work on yourself.
- You don’t have to fix everything at once
Snake sheds in stages. I learned to work layer by layer, pattern by pattern, instead of trying to become a new person overnight. Incremental improvements, just like one of my marketing Oracle Cards say. That compound effect then becomes bigger over time.
- Grief is part of expansion
Saying goodbye to old identities, roles and relationships hurts, even when you know they’re complete. Grieving them made space for something truer. Being able to say goodbye to things takes time and a moment of acceptance. It’s not like a flick or a switch.
- You can be spiritual and love Money
Money became less of a monster and more of a mirror. It showed me where I still doubted my worth and where I was ready to receive. All levels create a new devil and it’s about being able to hold more.
- Your voice gets clearer the more you use it
Every post, every live and every conversation sharpened my message. Waiting to be “ready” was just another skin to shed. My voice has been a problem since I was born and something that I know is very powerful when I use it, so I’ve been using it more and more. In voice notes, content, calls, DMs, speaking, lives, virtual coffees… The more I use it, the better it becomes and my messaging. AI is great, but it’s not the holy grail as some will lead you to believe.
- The right people feel like a deep exhale
Clients, collaborators and friends where you don’t have to translate yourself. THAT is the Eco-System™ you’re allowed to build. Last years I collaborated with someone to be the Cacao Facilitator and she said “the last person she had made it feel clunky, like she didn’t know what to do, and you just did it… It was nurturing and powerful. It was easy with you“. This is the type of relationships we want, not competitive, comparative or clay. I want them to feel like a hug, always. See my success stories.
- Snake years are about honesty
I stopped pretending and hiding what I wanted, what I was tolerating, what I was done with. Radical honesty became a love language to myself because I had started crushing my potential, dreams and desires. When we speak out loud the things that we would love, like being the change in the world I want to see, planting a million trees, making a million pounds, travelling the world to speak, writing a New York Time best seller and more, it becomes something that drives me, something I can believe in and lean into.
- I’m not done shedding
The point wasn’t to become a “finished product”. The point was to learn how to shed gracefully, again and again, without making myself wrong for evolving. The “work” is never done, there is always a new iteration of it to be revealed, reflected and removed.
What tools did I use?
Through all of this, the Marketing Oracle Cards, the Magnetic Codes and my 365 Daily Cacao Ritual became my council. They helped my intuition, tapped into my truth and deepened my essence.
I used them to:
- Name the skin I was shedding in my business that week. A pricing pattern, a visibility fear or an old identity.
- Check in with my word of the year, Courage, and ask, “What does Courage look like today, in a practical way?”
- Get honest about where I was still cluttered. In my offers, content, relationships, boundaries or Money mindset.
- Confirm the decisions my body already knew were right, even when my mind wanted to cling to the old.
They didn’t give me a 10‑step plan.
They gave me truth, focus, and one clear next move when I was swimming in uncertainty.
If you’ve felt the energy of this last year too, the shedding, the truth‑telling and that quiet courage having these things in your life means you’re not just relying on willpower between moments.
2025 changed my life in many ways…
If you’re ready to keep shedding what no longer fits and grow a business that actually feels like you, you can order your own Marketing Oracle Cards and make this kind of check‑in a regular ritual.
The Year of the Snake might be closing, but the art of shedding and becoming. That gets to continue with more clarity, more courage, and more conviction.
How was your year of the snake? 2025.

I know, you are constantly seeking ways to elevate your business and achieve sustainable growth.
Sustainable so you don’t have to constantly create content and clients come to you instead of you having to find them all the time.
Growth in terms of cash in the bank, certainty of your business and reach to new audiences.
I call this, “Energetic Ascension“. It’s not just growth.
One powerful yet often overlooked approach is tapping into your masculine and feminine energies.
Whether you’re new to this concept or have heard of it before, understanding and balancing these energies can be a game-changer for your business. Especially if you’re what I call a Spiritual Entrepreneur (visit my Instagram to see exactly what I mean by this). In this blog, let’s explore how embracing and combining these energies can transform your journey (both personal and professional) and lead to the success you seek and that sits inside of you
Understanding Masculine and Feminine Energies
Before we dive deeper, it’s crucial to understand that masculine and feminine energies are not tied to gender or sexual orientation. These are universal principles found in all individuals, regardless of how they identify. Everyone possesses both energies, and the key to success lies in finding the right balance.
A different question you may be asking is… WHY, Amanda, are you speaking about this? What does it have to do with business?
Well, these energies are elements we all have AND are things I truly believe in. I’ve tapped into my own Queen and King (another term for Masculine and Feminine) and call upon those energies to help me when I’m feeling stuck or unsure of my next move. Let me explain…
Masculine Energy in Business
Masculine energy is often associated with:
- Action and decisiveness
- Goal-oriented thinking
- Logical reasoning
- Structure and stability
- Assertiveness
In the business world, masculine energy drives us to set clear objectives, make quick decisions and push through challenges with determination and focus.
Feminine Energy in Business
Feminine energy, on the other hand, embodies:
- Intuition and creativity
- Empathy and nurturing
- Adaptability and flow
- Collaboration and sharing
- Patience and trust
This energy brings a softer, more intuitive approach to business, along with innovation, team cohesion and relationships (customer, clients, team members, family, community and so on).
The Benefits of balancing Energies
When you learn to harness both masculine and feminine energies in your business, you unlock a wealth of benefits:
- Enhanced Leadership: By combining assertiveness with empathy, you become a more well-rounded and effective leader
- Improved Decision-Making: Balancing logical analysis with intuitive insights leads to more holistic and effective choices
- Increased Creativity: The interplay between structure and flow sparks innovation and unique problem-solving approaches
- Better Relationships: Blending assertiveness with nurturing qualities helps build stronger connections with clients, partners and team members
- Sustainable Growth: The balance prevents burnout by combining drive with self-care and patience
Tapping into Your Masculine and Feminine Energies
Now that you understand the difference within these energies, let me talk about how to tap into them effectively:
Embracing Masculine Energy
- Set Clear Goals: Define specific, measurable objectives for your business
- Create Structure: Implement systems and processes to streamline operations
- Practice Assertiveness: Communicate your needs and boundaries clearly
- Take Decisive Action: Make prompt decisions and follow through with confidence
Nurturing Feminine Energy
- Trust Your Intuition: Listen to your gut feelings when making decisions
- Unleash Creativity: Allow time for brainstorming and exploring new ideas
- Practice Empathy: Actively listen to your clients and team members, seeking to understand their perspectives
- Embrace Flexibility: Be open to adapting your plans as circumstances change
There are pro’s and con’s to each energy too! i.e. Being so much in your feminine you dont make decisions and change your mind all the time. Or being so much in your masculine the rigidity stops you from seeing opportunities that are different, yet rewarding.
Why it’s game-changing for Spiritual Entrepreneurs?
Balancing masculine and feminine energies are particularly transformative because they allow you to align your business with your values and not letting others cross or disrespect them. This way, you create a business model that reflects your view, based on your nature, quirks, gifts and talents, instead of a cloned business model that belongs to someone else.
The connection with your clients will be deeper and the combination of structure and intuition enables you to serve your clients on a profound level. A level where they haven’t ever felt seen or heard like it before. Where they cannot explain just how much you have helped them, because you have given them the attention they have been looking for.
You will be able to navigate challenges more easily because the balance of having drive with flow helps you overcome obstacles without losing your centre or having wobbles. Your masculine will help you bounce back faster, while your feminine feels the feels, both without shame or force to “just keep moving”.
The synergy of action and receptivity accelerates the manifestation of your business goals, getting you closer to your vision AND manifests it in a way that feels good for you.
By honouring both aspects of your nature, you maintain a sustainable pace of growth and avoid overwhelm.
Practical applications in Business
Let’s look at how this balance can be applied in various aspects of your business:
Goal Setting and Achievement: Use masculine energy to set clear, actionable goals, but allow feminine energy to guide you in staying open to opportunities and adjusting your path as needed, because we are ever evolving.
Conflict Resolution: When facing conflicts, draw on masculine energy for assertiveness and clarity, while employing feminine energy to listen empathetically and find collaborative solutions so that you can move forward without taking on the energies of others.
Marketing and Branding: Combine the masculine drive to reach targets with the feminine intuition to create an authentic, resonant message that truly connects with your audience
Team Management: Balance structured leadership (masculine) with nurturing and empowering your team members (feminine) to create a high-performing and harmonious work environment that everyone wants to work in.
The Power of Integration
Magic happens when you seamlessly integrate both energies. This integration allows you to:
- Lead with both strength and compassion
- Drive growth while nurturing relationships
- Scale your business without sacrificing well-being
- Attract the right clients, partners and team members who resonate with your balanced approach and who work with you to keep it
Next Steps: Transforming your Business Journey
Now that Ive shared the power of balancing masculine and feminine energies, you might be wondering how to apply this knowledge to transform your business. This is where the concept of Customer Journey and Identity comes into play.
By mapping out your customer’s journey and understanding their identity, you can create a business strategy. Perfectly balances masculine and feminine energies at every touchpoint. This approach ensures that you’re not only meeting your business goals but also creating deep, meaningful connections with your clients; even if they decide not to work with you straight away. This is different to how other businesses work.
The question is…
Are you ready to change your business by applying the power of balanced energies throughout your customer journey and your business?
I’m here to help you do just that. Together, we can create a handcrafted strategy that aligns your business and you, using both your values and the objectives you’re looking to achieve.
Let’s embark on this transformative journey together. Reach out today to discover how we can integrate masculine and feminine energies into your customer journey and business, elevating your business to new heights of results and fulfilment.
Remember, the balance of these energies isn’t just a concept – it’s a powerful tool that can propel your entrepreneurship and life to “new level” (or Energetic Ascension) you’ve been looking for.

What a wall of feedback to walk into after leaving the ladies loo!
The woman who delivered this piece of information with a loud voice and tone that needed to be heard by people within the vicinity, was clearly outspoken and wanted to give me her opinion, without me actually asking for it.
This happens to me quite a lot.
Let me Set the Scene…
This was back in 2012, I had been a speaker for a few years and it was my first conference with over 100 people, happening in North Wales for the hospitability, food and drink and local businesses in the area.
My presentation at the time was all about Social Media, where I played a video to give context to what I was about to share. The soundtrack to that video was “Right Here, Right Now” by Fat Boy Slim and I became known as the Fat Boy Slim speaker. The AV guy turned it up and the music spilled out into the rest of the hotel.
I even remember what I was wearing on the day.
Floral jacket, cream top and black trousers with Black Hologram (Limited Edition) Addidas Shell Toe, the same trainers I wore to London and won my first £50,000 contract.
Anyway, back to this statement.
“I thought you would be shit…”
You don’t look much, she carried on… I thought you would be dull and not really know anything.
I stood in awe whilst witnessing this person throwing her opinions, judgement and condensing tone at me, later to find out that she was in “marketing” also.
There are a few lessons in this journal…
- Don’t judge a book by its cover – In this conference, I was an unknown headline speaker brought in by the Business Engagement & European Project Manager of a Welsh College, where I worked for as a Digital Marketing Lecturer. I do know I look young and have many people compliment me on “starting my business when I was in nappies” or saying “you don’t look old enough”. I’ve also had over the years… “you’re not just a pretty face” and someone has even said to me “you’fre lying, you’ve never done all of that”.
- Recognise someone ability – As bold as this person was, it took a lot to come up to someone she didn’t know, saw as a threat and in a round about way say that you were really good. When you see someone delivering and they have wowed you, go and tell them, because they will have worked exceptionally hard to do what they have just done.
- Show up unapologetically you – I’ve never been one for heels, skirts or what could be classes as the normal female professional attire. Wearing my Shell Toe enabled me to move the way I needed to, helped me feel comfortable in my own skin and helped me understand that it doesn’t matter what I wear, what matters is how I deliver and for me to be the best version of me. I need to be me.
- Receive feedback in all the ways it is given – Feedback is exactly that. I listened to what she had to say and thanked her for her feedback. In the next breath, I asked if she would be so bold as to create a video testimonial for me to say the exact words I’ve shared with you… “I though you would be shit…”
- People will underestimate you – When you are not normal (as in looks) or don’t fit in, you may not get the breaks or opportunities as others do, but when you do, show them how amazing you are.
This year (2023), I’ve spoken at a few conferences, business events, facebook groups, inside mastermind groups and memberships. One of the most recent places was a Mastermind Group and after I had finished, there was a break for the delegates to freshen up, grab a coffee and chat with others in the room before we carried on.
He said, she said…
The leader of this Mastermind said to me… “Well, I didn’t expect that… I actually though you wouldn’t be very good…”. I chuckled and he replied… “Why do you laugh?”.
I said, “it’s not the first time someone has underestimated me and thought I’m a young girl, whose only just learnt marketing from my bedroom and don’t really know what I’m talking about”. And instantly, I remembered this lady who said… “I thought you would be shit…”
He replied… I didn’t mean it like that, I just didn’t expect much. I made loads of notes, my team did too and think we need to work with you ourselves.
“At the very moment when people underestimate you is when you can make a breakthrough” ― Germany Kent
Being underestimated is usually based on part of your personality type and happens when someone is perceived to be younger than the others or has not had a chance to concretely proven themselves, yet.
Know that not everyone sees you…
And this is OK.
It means you need to work a little harder to show your difference, keep showing up and ask for opportunities. Most importantly, at all costs, show them what you have to offer.
I’ve been in business for 17 years this year and I have lost a lot of work due to not looking the part, people’s assumptions and opinions of me, including people thinking I haven’t achieved what I have to the point where I even started doubting myself.
However, when you keep going because it’s part of who you are and you know what you have to say is worth saying you start to get different comments.
For example;
At an international event I spoke at this year (Bermuda), a member of the cohort had heard me speak on Zoom 6 months prior. This time, we were in the same room and she said…
“You’ve surpassed my expectations; I want to work with you” and so we are…
A review I got from the conference in Wales…
“Amanda is a master at her craft. I first met her when I sat in the audience and watched her give a spellbinding presentation about the types and benefits of social media – and was so impressed by the practicality and depth of her knowledge that I immediately asked her to develop and deliver a series of two day master-classes on Digital Marketing and Social as part of the programme portfolio for my Executive Education.
Those sessions went on to become some of the most highly rated and popular of our courses and several participants went on to engage Amanda personally as their Marketing Coach – with fantastic results.” – Bangor Management Centre
The moral of the story is…
Be you, unapologetically.
Because it nourishes you and brings you opportunities you never knew you could receive.
People will underestimate you, assume things about you, give opinion and throw judgements even when they have no clue who you are, you’re experience or what you stand for.
So, you might as well be the version that keeps you true, your values real and helps you find your edge.

by Amanda Daniels-Allen | Oct 6, 2023 | Mission + Purpose |
In a world where business often revolves around profits and competition, there’s a rising wave of entrepreneurs seeking to build ventures that align with their core values.
These spiritual entrepreneurs like you and I, are on a mission to create businesses that not only thrive financially but also nourish their souls.
Staying True to Yourself
Here’s why staying true to your values as a spiritual entrepreneur is not just essential but transformational:
- Authenticity and Integrity: Your values are the foundation of your business. When you align your venture with your core beliefs, you radiate authenticity and integrity. This authenticity resonates with customers and partners who share similar values, creating a strong and loyal community.
- Sustainability: A values-driven business often has a sustainability focus. Whether it’s adopting eco-friendly practices, supporting local communities, or reducing waste, such businesses contribute positively to the planet and society, leaving a lasting impact beyond profits.
- Fulfilment and Purpose: Pursuing a business that reflects your values can be deeply fulfilling. It provides a sense of purpose that transcends the pursuit of financial success. This sense of purpose fuels your motivation and resilience in the face of challenges.
- Wellness and Balance: The hustle and grind of the business world can take a toll on your physical and mental health. When you operate in alignment with your values, you’re more likely to create a work-life balance that promotes wellness and reduces stress.
- Positive Impact: Spiritual entrepreneurs are often driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the world. By following your values, you can design products or services that address societal needs, contributing to a better future.
- Longevity: A values-based business is more likely to stand the test of time. Trends may come and go, but core values remain constant. This longevity not only benefits you but also the legacy you leave behind.
Loosing yourself?
So, how can you ensure you don’t lose yourself in the hustle of business while staying aligned with your values?
- Clarify Your Values: Take time to reflect on your core values. What truly matters to you? What principles guide your life? Once you have clarity, integrate these values into your business’s mission and vision.
- Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. Prioritize self-care and make time for activities that nourish your spirit, such as meditation, yoga, or spending time in nature.
- Regular Self-Reflection: Periodically assess whether your business practices align with your values. Be open to adjusting when needed to stay on your path.
- Seek Support: Surround yourself with a community of like-minded individuals. Join the Magnetic Marketing for Spiritual Entrepreneurs Fb Group and connect with mentors, peers or a group that share your values. They can provide guidance, inspiration, and a sense of belonging.
- Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine. Mindfulness can help you stay present, reduce stress, and make decisions in alignment with your values.

A word of the year has become an exercise taken up by those wanting to be intentional and on purpose with what they are looking at achieve and moving into the next cycle.
Whether your year ends on the traditional date on 31st of December, Solstice, Equinox or on Chinese New Year celebrating the lunisolar and solar year, one cycle ends, and another begins.
So how do you choose a word, words or phrase of the year?
First, why choose a Word of the Year?
It sets an intention so that every action you take for an entire year has some meaning behind it and it keeps you on track to deliver on your dreams.
This could also be an alternative to goal setting.
Every decision, idea, thought and action you take will be based on this word and if the thing you are about to do is in alignment.
There are times when we stray off the path, because of someone or something else’s desires seem more important than your own. This serves no one!
5 Steps to choose your Word of the Year?
1. Reflect
What has happened in 2022? Think of the good, bad and indifferent. List it all and take your time to summarise.
2. Vision
What is your vision for the year ahead? What would you like to achieve? Personally and professionally and what will it all look like.
3. Feelings
Now you see what you want / would love to achieve, how will this make you feel. Journal on what it is like when you have accomplished all the things in your Vision.
4. 3-5 words
Choose between 3 and 5 words and sift through them and work out which one is the most motivational word for you based on steps 1,2,3.
5. Become
You have reflected, envisioned, felt and now you need to become. Become the person who has already achieved the things in your vision.
Let me know how you get on with choosing the word for 2023 and what it means to you and please share your word/words and your why.
