Healers are not always great business women. It's great to be a heart & soul driven healer AND have good business savy. Set a bold Money Goal for 2012
- “Are you living your values, but not earning enough to live your dreams”,*__ asks Lois Frankel, of Nice Girls Don’t Get Rich. As a therapist and “healer” I was stuck in that “I’m a healer so I can’t charge what I’m worth” illusion for years.
This is a common problem for women in business who are in the helping professions. We have a black and white way of thinking about money and helping people. If we are helpers then we shouldn’t be focused on earning money. What nonsense. I’ve figured out there is a middle ground and we can have both – be happy healers with a bountiful paycheck.
Unfortunately, most of the therapists/healers I’ve known over the last twenty + years are crappy business women. Meaning, they don’t market their practices or treat their practice like a business. For example, as a massage therapist, family therapist, energy healer – do you have a business plan, a marketing plan, attend networking functions, join The Chamber of Commerce, pay attention to cash in and out flow by doing a balance sheet and a profit and loss at least quarterly. That used to be me, but I’ve found my inner business savy and it is blooming!!
One important step to break out of the old *“I’m a healer, it’s not spiritual for me to make money” rut is to set a BOLD Financial Goal for 2012*. Do that today and next blog learn where you money speedometer is set and how to reset it to match your Bold Money Goal.
