Three Easy Steps to Super-Grow Your Business

25 Sep 2013

1) Love your business like it is your best friend.

This is the number one key to having continual growth in your business. Think about how you feel about your business when it is disappointing you. Use forgiveness to help you let go of the anger, frustration, depression, low self esteem, fear or sadness that comes up for you when your business isn’t meeting your expectations. Stop giving up on loving your business when it is struggling. Decide to love and believe in your business no matter how it may be performing for you. Love it because it is a gift from God for your life. Your business has it’s own unique energy signature that is influenced by the love you give it as well as the love others give it. The more love that is poured into that energy signature, the more it grows in response to give back to you. Just like you would let your best friend offer return love to you, you must allow your business to function this way too. You must allow gifts of love and money to flow back to you from your business otherwise you will leave your business with the energy of a debt it owes you for all the love you have given. That debt you create in your business by refusing to receive back (example: paying yourself) takes up space where new business is blocked from entering in. When you do receive back from your business, you open space where more people can enter in to expand the love for you and your business. Once you really get this down, loving your business unconditionally, expansion in the form of love, money and new people occurs automatically.

2) You must feel happy and safe to invite money into your life.

This sounds crazy for most people. Of course I feel safe with money and I would invite it in. People who have the most difficult time manifesting money in their lives usually have one of three problems:

They push money away
They run from money
They don’t feel self love and value.

Your earliest memories around money go with feelings. If mom and dad were fighting about money, you could believe that money is “the bad guy” that upset my family or made life harder for you. For every time you heard someone say, “I can’t afford it.”, you saw money as “the bad guy” that doesn’t allow me to be happy or do what I want. These strong negative emotions you hold with money memories drive your action or behavior with money. If you have mastered loving your business and it is flowing naturally with money–you may feel an anxiety or fear because you are running away from money. Even though you invite money in; when it shows up, the negative feelings force your action to push it away. People who have very little self love or sense of value in themselves tend to only allow money into their lives that belongs to others. Check what stage of healing you are in with money. Give money permission to forgive you for running away or pushing it away. Admit to money, it’s not “the bad guy”. Forgive yourself for believing money is the “bad guy”.

Invite it into your life to love and appreciate the gifts that it can give you and others.

3) You must commit 100% to your business.

Besides loving your business, you must be ready to fully commit to what is necessary to support your business in all that it may need from you. This includes time, money, training and just doing your very best. When you can’t figure it out–what needs to be done now–be willing to get help. Consult with an expert. Take risks to grow in what you don’t know if it means making your business better for you, your family and the world.

How Long Does It Take? by Sherry Hamilton

9 Apr 2013

This is a frequent and valid question I get from perspective clients for EPTworks. I want to know too. How long before I jump off this “gerbil wheel” that keeps me spinning in the repetitive, self-destructive habit I’ve lived with and been tired out by for years? My short answer is, “It depends.” EPTworks seeks to do two main things for this problem:

Break, disconnect or neutralize the charge of old false beliefs you have held that make you keep going back to “do it again.”
Establish a new belief for a new experience with a positive, life-sustaining charge connected to eternal, spiritual truths.

Most people get the feeling in the very first session of EPTworks that this therapy is powerful and meaningful to this process. Is that the conclusion of the journey for their process? Usually not, but for some it is enough to get the process going in the correct direction.

Often the popular articles on changing habits give a number of days (21, 30, 45, etc.) you must engage in your new habit to make it your experience and snuff out the old habit. This objective never worked for me because I thought that it was that simple. In my life experience this decision to hold to a good habit for X-number of days didn’t work. The energy shift and interruption that EPTworks interjected into breaking my old habit gave me a supportive link I wasn’t expecting. It is linked to brain chemicals and that can be driven by environmental and emotional habit.

Changing my destructive habits has been more like learning a language. For some people learning a new language comes faster than to others. EPTworks has been an efficient system to engage my mind in possibility I didn’t allow or know about. I started over 20 years ago with a fantastic awareness of freedom from an awful problem, and the uses and applications of EPTworks continues to grow in my life.

Riding On the Gerbil Wheel of Destructive Habits by Sherry Hamilton

13 Mar 2013

(cue sound effects: eee…ee..eee…ee… a squeaky wheel)

I Can’t Help It!!! I Have To Do That. I Did It Again! I Can’t Live Without That.

Consciously admit what is bad for you or bad for your future: Monthly binge on chocolate chip cookies to point of illness.
Decide to take a different action for a better future: Stop binging on cookies. Do something else with this time.
Binge on chocolate chip cookies. Feel like a failure for not maintaining decision to not binge on chocolate chip cookies.
Make a new plan with more specific aversion techniques so as to succeed next month: Binge on cookies; feel like a helpless failure and guilty for not following through with plan.
Give up on better future: Give into binging. Live with feeling of failure. Binge on cookies. Feeling powerless. No guilt because I’ve decided: I can’t help it.

About 25 years ago, I realized I had a self-destructive habit of binging on chocolate chip cookies once a month. I recognized it was self-destructive because I would bake cookies and eat more than a dozen until I was sick and in pain. I followed the above plan month after month for more than a decade with continued frustration. I call it a ‘gerbil wheel’ because I went around and around with my inner conflict and my outer display for this nagging monthly dependence on chocolate chip cookies.

My sister, Dr. Annette Cargioli, DC, helped me make the first step in breaking this awful cycle of dependence while she was pioneering EPTworks. After one 45 minute session, I didn’t binge or have the need to binge for 10 months! It was freeing and odd at the same time. I was waiting for the powerless need to drive me to the binge cycle and it didn’t come. Then after 10 months it did come back. I called her, and told her the magic stopped and I had a binge. She explained there are triggers and aspects of this cycle. The great news was we had effectively stopped the cycle once so we could probably keep interrupting the behavior with continued work. She was right. It was a process of a few more years of work with paying attention to what set me off or triggered me into the binge behavior. I can say that I’m binge-free now, and much happier too.

I say Annette saved my life because the mental and physical toll of the behavior was making my future good health and peace unattainable.

I Can’t Get Out Of Debt!

21 Feb 2013

There is a powerlessness about debt that is tangible. There is a sense of suffering, guilt and not having enough in the experience of owing more than we can pay. Debt is just money we owe. It can be eliminated by paying the money we owe. The debt is not our problem. It is the way we feel about the debt that creates the suffering. Once we enter that state of suffering, guilt and emptiness, it becomes impossible to take power over debt in our lives. These negative feelings about money and debt usually come from childhood. We absorb the feelings our parents hold about money and debt.

Many of us had debt transferred to us as children when it was implied that we owed for what we could never pay back from what has been given to us–clothes, food, gas, our house. We were made to feel guilty for mom or dad working very hard just to pay for our things. We took on beliefs that “I’m not enough” or “I’m not worth it”. There is a sense of a debt I can never pay back, no matter what I earn or produce. I will always feel this guilt, shame and powerlessness with the money I have because I still owe for my childhood.

The debt you must release is the debt your parents or you hold against yourself from childhood and all you were given. This is the debt you can never pay. You have created money debt in your life so you can continually be in the state of paying it off, in hopes to alleviate the guilt and suffering of the past. The truth is, you can repay or resolve a money debt. However, the debts from our childhood and emotional debts can never be repaid with money but only resolved through forgiveness. Think about what exists in your life, besides financial debt, that you feel indebted with. Maybe you are just trying to pay off an old debt that can only be resolved through forgiveness. Use your power to let go of the debts in your life that can’t be resolved with money and see how easily you can get out of debt.

To feel better about your debt, read these statements aloud and inhale and exhale after each statement:

I forgive myself for believing I can’t get out of debt.
I forgive myself for believing I have to feel guilty, ashamed or unworthy because I have financial debt.
I forgive myself for believing by putting my attention on financial debt, I can take away feelings of guilt and shame from childhood.
I forgive myself for believing that money is the only debt I owe.
I forgive myself for believing I can’t let go of the bad feelings until I am debt free.
I forgive myself for believing I will always be in debt to my parents for what they gave me.
I forgive myself for holding myself in debt to my parents out of loyalty.

I forgive my parents for making me a debtor.
I forgive my parents for shaming me for having blessings in my life they worked hard for.
I forgive my parents for shaming me about money.
I forgive my parents for blaming me for their debt.

I give my parents permission to forgive me for blaming them.
I give my parents permission to forgive me for all debt I owe them.
I give my parents permission to forgive me for costing money.

These are a few forgiveness statements to help you let go of the debt you can not pay.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Manifesting What You Really Want in Your Life (part 2)

14 Feb 2013

Before you can start manifesting what you want, you have to get crystal clear on exactly what you are currently manifesting. Get very specific about where you are existing in your business and money right now. Make a list describing where you are. To make this list, think about what you put your attention on. What is your current “focus” or energy on? How much do you pay yourself? Include your business perks like trips or business clothing, free services or any other business perks you can think of.

What phrases do you say over and over about your business? “I need more clients.” “I don’t have enough money.”“I can’t pay myself.”“This is too hard.”“People can’t afford me.” “People don’t trust me.” “People don’t want to pay me.” “I’m too expensive.” “No one in my area gets it.” “I need to advertise.” “I’m afraid.” “This is never getting better.”

Who do you see in your business that you love and enjoy the most?

What do you enjoy the most about your business?

Do you spend time thinking about how much service your clients can afford?

What is your biggest “problem” in your business that prevents it from being a success?

How do you feel “emotionally” about your business growing? This is how you “feel” right now in you current business, thinking about growing or expanding your business.

What phrases do you say over and over about this? “My business will never be successful.” “I don’t know how to make it happen.” “I don’t have time for more.” “I don’t know how to do it.” “I don’t deserve money or success.” “I have to work harder to deserve more.” “I have to be perfect to deserve more.”

What do you LOVE in your business right now?

What gives you PAIN or FEAR in your business right now?

It is very important to be in the space you are in. You must get crystal clear on where you are and where you are going to chart the best way to get there. Spend a little time to describe where you currently “live” in your business. We’ll call that location, Indianapolis. This is your current location–how you exist and what you recognize to identify as your current business and business experience.

The thoughts you hold for your current business are your mind’s internal representation of where you are when you are at work. By identifying these internal representations of your business, you open your awareness to let them go for a new experience of how you do business.

In part three of this blog series, Manifesting What You Really Want in Your Life, we will get clarity on where you want to be and why clarity and focus on this is necessary to arriving at your new location.

One of the best writers I have seen on this subject of manifesting, Nick Pfennigwerth writes

From my experience and interviewing many successful people on this planet, properly focusing your mind is the number one most important factor that you can master when it comes to manifesting money or anything else that you can imagine.

How you direct and use your focus is completely responsible for the results you get in life.

When I talk about focus, I am referring to your conscious attention and your internal representations, which are all one in the same.

At EPTworks Business Works Retreat, we use EPTworks to help you to master the focus your mind on what you really want, making your journey from where you are in business to where you want to be an easy, more fun and enjoyable journey.

EPTworks Business Works takes place March 1-3 in Indianapolis. Find details at EPTworks.com
