“Ease” doesn’t mean “easy”. It will be hard, but we’ll actually dive into the mess and carve out the magic in that mess.

The messy work is having compassion for the season we’re in, and to dig deep to discover what we really need as we move forward.

Invoke good stress, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Saying “yes” to those things rewires your brain.

76: TRANSFORM YOUR BUSINESS BY CREATING A LIVE EVENT IN 2023

In this episode of Waking Up With Melissa Ruiz, I share why live events are one of the most powerful tools at your disposal if you want to create an iconic brand and a loyal community.

“You will never reach a point where it will all be done because it’s not supposed to be that way. We are constantly in creation mode. So it’s always about flowing with it and not against it. “

“There’s a new currency in town. And it is not physical money. It’s your energy, time, and learning to attract this vibration from your energetic feeling.”

forth the offering."

67: HOW TO ENERGETICALLY QUALIFY YOUR SOULMATE CLIENT

67: HOW TO ENERGETICALLY QUALIFY YOUR SOULMATE CLIENT

In this episode of Waking Up With Melissa Ruiz, I discuss how to qualify your soulmate client energetically, and how this differs from qualifying them financially. While both are important, the vast majority of people put most (if not all) of their focus on a potential client’s monetary return on investment. This can result in working with a lot of folks that you just don’t jive with, where personalities clash. With clients like these, you ultimately end up wasting time and money anyway!

What to watch for:
-[01:02] What does it mean to “energetically” qualify your client?

-[04:37] Three steps to determining whether you’ve found your soulmate client

-[12:26] Questions to ask potential clients to see if they’re the perfect fit

-[16:42] What does it really mean to have a “soul” business?

-[21:43] How to live your passion and mission while thriving financially

Words to live by:

Finding your soulmate client requires you to understand their energetic imprint, and whether your own energetic imprint jives with theirs.

Take the conversation further. Just because they got on a call with you doesn’t mean they’re your soulmate client.

Your mental, emotional, and spiritual stability matters. But so does your financial stability. As long as we live on this Earth, all of these foundations matter.

“Words don’t teach. We learn through our lived experiences”
“When you connect to the truth that source is flowing through you we realize our DNA has the codes to infinite intelligence, healing and creation"
