Empowerment – Permission and Choice by Elaine Lockard
Empowerment!!!
It! is! a! word! we! now! hear!every!day!in!our!lives.!
However,! what! does! it!mean?!
A! couple! of! its! definitions!are!"to!enable"!or!"permit".!
!In! terms! of! Personal!Empowerment,! it! means! to!start! giving! one's! selfApermission!to!move!forward!toward! a! positive! goal! or!outcome.!
But! what! if! you! feel! you!can't!make!this!choice?!!
What! if! your! circumstances!feel! too! limiting,! too!controlling,! and! too!immense! that! you! fear!making! any! choice! or! just!
don't! know! what! you! want!for! yourself?! Well,! that’s!okay.! We! all! have! to! begin!somewhere.! The! important!point!here!is:!!
“You! are! choosing! to! give!yourself!permission!to!make!that!first!step.”!

From! this,! you! start!gaining! more! confidence,!which! helps! to! dispel! selfAdoubt! and! instills!more! self!trust! and! self! respect.! You!begin! to! heal! on! the! inside!and! then! manifest! that!healing!in!your!outer!life.!
So! how!do! you! choose! your!first!step?!!
!!!!!!!!

!
!
!

Some! examples! of! a! small,!first!step!may!be:!
• Looking! in! the! mirror!every! day! and! putting! a!smile!on!your!face!
• Getting! out! of! the! house!for!a!few!minutes!daily!
• Doing! something! that!makes! you! laugh! which!you!usually!don’t!do!
• Choosing!to!eat!a!piece!of!fruit! rather! than! a!dessert!!!

Mantra Of The Soul by Jamie McConochie
To see true and lasting healing take place in another human is one of the most beautiful and inspiring things to witness in all of nature.
The eternal spark of consciousness that dwells within each and every human being is the power battery that sustains us throughout the course of our life.
Whether or not you are aware of its presence you are fed and sustained by it at every level of your being, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
It is with us in every moment of our life, quietly whirring away like a dynamo generating power for us.
Patiently it hums away on a minimal output, providing us with just enough energy to survive.
Unfortunately many of us are unaware of its existence and mistakenly believe that we should be trying to obtain our power from external things around us, or by draining the energy of other people in our lives.
We are oblivious to the massive power source we are sitting on top of, and instead go about our lives in a disharmonious fashion, out of balance, and out of touch with the furnace of energy resonating at the heart of our being.
It is this imbalance, this in-‐congruence of vibration that sadly gives rise to so many of our ailments, both physical and emotional.
I’m not talking about the healing of a fractured bone, or of wounded pride, or even the healing of a malignant tumor.
The kind of healing to which I’m referring is the profound realization of one’s intimate connection with the source all life.

!Becoming the Perfect Healer: by Sarah Lambert, Mind/Body Intuitive
Perhaps! the! greatest!
journey! for! healers! is! to!
reconcile!our! flawed!human!
nature! with! our! ability! to!
help!others.!!
I! say! this! from!my!personal!
experience! as! an! intuitive!
who!for!much!of!my!life!has!
had! two! stories! reflected!
back! to! me:! “you’re!
amazing/gifted/talented/no!
one! can! do! what! you! do”,!
and! “you’re! a! freak,! go!
away.”!
When! I! started! my! work,! I!
had! an! all! or! nothing!
mentality! in! place,! based! in!
reaction! to! these! two!
messages.!!
Either! I! was! brilliant! and!
everything!I!did!was!perfect,!
or! I! was! horrible! and! had!
nothing! to! offer! anyone.!
Every! session! with! a! client!
was! a! set! up! to! see! which!
story! was! true,! and! any!
reaction! that! was! less! than!
stellar!would! spiral!me! into!
concern! that! I! really!had!no!
business! trying! to! help!
anyone.!
That! some! people! could!
benefit! from!and!appreciate!
what! I! did,! while! others!
were! better! served!
elsewhere,! was! a! nuanced!
truth! I! had! trouble!
understanding! in! the!
beginning.!!
It’s!something!I!believe!a!lot!
of! healers! –! especially!
psychics,! or! people! who’ve!
otherwise! experienced! gifts!
that! aren’t! understood! by!
mainstream! culture! –!
struggle!with:!!
“I’m! doing! something!
incredible! no! one! else! can!
do.!
!Why!don’t!people!love!me?”!
I! based! the! value! of! my!
work! on! the! reactions! of!
others,! because! it! was! too!
scary!to!look!within!and!feel!
it!for!myself.!!
I! knew! flaws,! all! my! hangH
ups! and! myself! too! well.! I!
knew! that! kids!made! fun! of!
me! in! school,! that! I! had!
trouble! dating,! struggled!
with! money,! and! felt!
awkward! in! social!
situations.!!
I! knew! everything! that! was!
wrong!with!me,!and!couldn’t!
!
!
!
believe! that! person!was! the!
same! one! who! received!
feedback! about! saving!
someone’s! life,! or!
dramatically! changing! it! for!
the!better.!
In! order! to! believe! the!
positive! feedback,! I! had! to!
somehow! make! myself!
better! than! human! in! my!
mind.!!
I!denied!the!ways!in!which!I!
struggled,! because! I! needed!
to!be!perfect! for!my! clients.!
It! took! some! time,! but!
eventually! I! had! a! very!
useful!epiphany:!
I!realized!it’s!okay!to!not!be!
okay.!!
!
The! feeling! of! being! lost,!
confused,! kind! of! goofy,!
faking!your!way!through,!or!
otherwise! not! knowing!
what! you’re! doing,! is! a!
perfectly!valid!place!to!be.!!
If!it’s!where!you!are,!then!let!
yourself! be! there.! When!
being! where! you! are! and!
knowing! how! you! feel! is!
okay,! then! nothing! about!
you! negates! the! positive!
responses!to!your!work.!
When!as!healers!we!are!able!
to! accept! ourselves! as!
people,! we! become! more!
perfect! conduits! of! the!
divine.!!
You! become! more!
trustworthy! to! your! clients,!
as!a!real!person!who!knows!
what! it’s! like! to! go! through!
hard! things,! rather! than!
some! sort! of! removed!
messenger!of!the!divine.!!
My! suggestion! is! to! get! real!
with! yourself! about! where!
you!are,!what!you!need,!and!
let!those!needs!be!met.!!
Lead! your! clients! by!
example;! it’s! much! more!
effective! than! intuition.!
When! you! let! yourself! be!
flawed! and! human,! you!
become!the!perfect!healer.!

Hormone replacement helps maintain brain function, protects against bone loss,
intestinal cancer, urinary tract infections, and heart disease. Hormones also help to maintain sexual drive and function, and keep energy levels up. Bioidentical hormones are usually used, which are identical to our own natural hormones that decrease as we age. They are the safest option in hormone replacement.

In!Communication,! it!means!ensuring! that! your!message!was! sent! clearly! and!received!clearly.!!!
Easier!said!than!done,!as!we!all!believe!our!messages!are!very! clearly! delivered! and!received.!!!
The! truth! is,! however,! that!this! is! not! so.! ! We! want! to!believe! it! but! if! that! were!the!case!then!there!wouldn’t!be! so! much! anxiety! around!what! it! is! we! are! truly!communicating! when! we!interact!with!someone.!
Our! lives!move! at! an! active!pace!now.!!Every!interaction!we!have!has!to!count.!!!
We! cannot! afford! to! lie!awake!at!night!wondering!if!we! delivered! a! clear!message.!!!
This! drains! our! energy! and!our! time;! both! critical!factors! to! improving! our!health! and! reducing! our!stress.!!

Charge Based On Value by Tshombe Brown
Why$ should$ you$ charge$based$ on$ value,$ rather$ than$based$on$time?$$
I$was$ talking$ to$ a$ client$ the$other$ day$ who$ is$ still$struggling$ with$ how$ to$charge$ for$ his$ services$ and$how$ much,$ specifically$ in$terms$of$ charging$an$hourly$rate$or$a$flat$fee.$
$As$ a$ spiritual$ entrepreneur,$
have$you$also$struggled$with$this$decision?$$$
$What$ choice$ honors$ and$serves$ both$ you$ and$ your$client?$
$The$ marketing$ strategist,$Adam$ Urbanski,$ offers$ that$the$ focus$ of$ our$ pricing$structure$ @@$ especially$when$we're$ talking$ about$providing$ services$ as$
opposed$ to$ products$ @@$needs$to$be$on$the$value$our$services$ provide$ to$ our$clients.$$
What's$ the$ difference$between$price$and$value?$$Adam$ offers$ two$ potent$illustrations$ to$ grant$ clarity$to$ this$ often@challenging$question.$
$The$ first$ example$ Adam$offered$ was$ the$ response$someone$ gave$ to$ the$Spanish$ Painter,$ Pablo$Picasso,$regarding$a$piece$of$art$ he$ produced.$ $I$ don't$remember$ the$ sum$ he$required$ for$ it,$ but$ the$person$ considering$ it$
exclaimed$$"What?!!$$
It$ only$ took$ you$ 5$ minutes$to$do$that$sketch!"$$
"No,$ it$ didn't,"$ answered$Picasso.$ $"It$ took$ me$ a$lifetime."$$
When$ we$ get$ hung$ up$ on$pricing$ our$ services$ by$ the$hour,$ we$ actually$ end$ up$devaluing$ ourselves,$converting$our$services$ into$a$ common$ commodity$ that$people$can$get$anywhere.$$
The$ other$ story$ Adam$offered$ involved$ a$ man's$trip$ to$ the$ dentist$ to$ have$his$ tooth$ extracted.$ $The$dentist$ efficiently$ goes$ to$work,$quickly$and$efficiently$removing$ the$ man's$ tooth,$and$sending$him$on$his$way$to$pay$the$receptionist.$
Upon$ casually$ looking$ over$the$bill,$his$eyes$slowly$land$on$ the$ total,$which$happens$to$ be$ $1,200.$ $Shocked,$ the$man$begins$throwing$a$fit$in$the$ lobby.$ $The$ dentist$comes$ out$ to$ see$ what's$going$on.$$"What$ is$ this?!"$ Shouts$ the$man.$ "$1,200?$ Come$ on.$$You$ barely$ saw$ me$ 2$minutes.$$$
$I'm$ not$ buying$ your$ entire$office;$ I$ just$ had$ my$ tooth$extracted."$$
"What's$ the$ problem?"$asked$the$dentist.$$
$$"That$ I$ only$ took$ 2$minutes?$$$$
You$can$come$back$in,$and$I$can$ take$ another$2$hours,$ if$
you$like."$The$ moral$ of$ the$ story$ is$that$ time$ has$ little$ to$ do$with$value.$$
Time$ is$ what$ you$ use$ to$create$ a$ solution,$ and$ value$is$ what$ clients$ and$customers$ get$ out$ of$ the$solution.$
$What$ does$ that$ mean$ for$you$and$me?$$
Uncover$ the$ true$ value$ of$your$ solution$ @@$ what$ your$ideal$clients$tangibly$get$out$of$ your$ solution$ @@$ and$charge$ based$ on$ THAT,$ not$on$time.$
Are$you$struggling$with$how$to$uncover$the$true$value$of$your$solution$ for$ the$clients$you$are$meant$to$serve?$

Speaking In Front Of Groups Gulp, I received my first invitation, now what? by Karen Cappello, PCC, BCC
Congratulations, on, booking,your, speaking, engagement!,You, have, manifested, a,wonderful, opportunity, to,share, your, gifts, with, the,world.,,
Embrace,it,,enjoy,it!,Know, that, the, universe, is,supporting, you, all, the, way,and, will, cheer, you, on., And,now,, I, invite, you, to, write,your,presentation,with,ease,and,joy!,
Intention'
and'
Commitment'
Begin,with,a, clear, intention,for, your, speech, and, a,commitment,to,bringing,this,information, to, the, world.,For,example…,
I, _______________________, do,hereby, make, this, sacred,commitment,to,complete,all,the, steps, for, bringing, my,speech, to, groups,who, need,to, hear, my, message., I,promise,to,implement,these,steps, to, the, best, of, my,ability., I, know, that, there,may, be, times, when, my,heart, is, not, in, it,, and, in,those, times, I, commit, to,allowing, myself, to, receive,inspiration,through,extreme,selfGcare, and, selfGrespect., I,
agree, to, honor, others, and,myself, in, this, process,, and,to,take,these,actions, for,my,highest,good,and,the,highest,good,of,everyone,involved.,
,
Astral'Advertising'
There, are, many, techniques,for, maximizing, personal,presence., I, would, like, to,share, one, strategy, in,particular., The,week, before,I’d, have, a, speaking,engagement,, in, the, time,before, I’d, go, to, sleep,, I, did,
!
!
!
!
what, I, call,, “Astral,Advertising.”, I, would,visualize, the, people, that,needed, to, have, this,information., I’d,energetically, connect, from,person, to, person, for, the,entire, week, before., Then, I,would, go, to, sleep., My,intention, was, that, during,my, sleep, time, (because, I,like, to, leverage,my, time!), I,would, be, connecting, spirit,to,spirit.,When,I,woke,up,,in,the, morning, or, sometime,during,the,next,day,,I,would,be, filled,with, ideas, of,what,to, put, into, my, speech, or,receive, some, questions, to,include,, and, take, inspired,actions,based,on,that,“spirit,to, spirit”, info, I, was,receiving.,
Storytelling'
Now, I’d, like, to, share, with,you, the, ease, and, flow, of,your, presentation, that, will,elicit, that, magical,storytelling,atmosphere,that,you,cherish, from,childhood.,It,goes,like,this…,
First,,I,introduce,myself,as,a,coach, and, I, explain, a, little,bit, about, coaching., Then, I,share, stories, about,coaching., For, example, I,share, the, idea, of, “the,platinum, rule”, of,communicating,,
,
(versus, the, “Golden, rule”),which, simply, tells, us, to,“Treat, others, as, they, wish,to, be, treated.”, I, share, my,examples, about, being, a,coach., I, share, an, example,from, one, of, my, fellow,coaches, who, successfully,coached, her, daughter, into,taking, out, the, garbage!,These, are, the, little, stories,that, you, sprinkle,throughout, your, whole,presentation., These, are, the,stories, that, make, you, very,relatable, and, likeable, to,your, listeners.,At,the,end,of,your, presentation,, you,simply, share, your, offer, to,reGconnect, and, continue, to,work,together.,
!
!!!!
If, at, any, time, you, begin, to, experience, “dread, energy”, during, your, presentation, creation,process,, take,a,moment,to,reconnect,with,your,source.,Be,fully,delighted,as,you,recall,your,stories.,Visualize,the,listeners,as,they,become,engaged,and,moved,during,your,presentation.,Imagine,meeting,up,with,these,same,listeners,,perhaps,a,year,later,,and,picture,them,telling,you,how,much, you, inspired, them., Your, presentation,will, support, your, listeners, to, get, the,results,they,want,in,ways,that,are,completely,authentic,to,them.,My,hope,and,wish,for,you,is,that,this,process,will,also,be,filled,with,ease,and,joy,for,you,on,so,many,levels!,

the! concept! of! Return! on!
Investment!and!Perceived!Value.!
In! this! article,! we! will! move!
deeper!into!how!we!calculate!the!
Return!on!Investment.!
!
In! 2012,! when! I! talked! to! a!
marketing! company,! I! asked! if!
they! would! help! me! determine!
how! much! to! spend! on! each!
client!for!marketing.!!
!
I! needed! to! calculate!my! Return!
on!Investment.!
!
First! you! must! begin! by!
understanding! your! emotional,!
physical! and! spiritual!
investment.! What! is! the! “sweat!
equity”! you! put! into! your!
business,! and! or! each! product,!
service!and!client.!
!
Emotionally!and!spiritually!these!
investments! are! best! designed!
when! they! offer! you! joy! and!
spiritual! freedom! to!be!who!you!
truly!are.!Any!energy!that!enters!
into! the! spending! of! your! time!
becomes!much!more! fluid! when!
you! can!work! in! peace! love! and!
joy.!!
!
It! is! important! that! you! are!
aware!that!what!you!offer!will!be!
enriching! and! empowering! to!
others! as! well.! That! is! where!
your! research! marketing! comes!
in.!But!that!is!another!article.!!
!
What! that! means! is! if! you! are!
angry,! upset,! living! in! doubt! or!
fear!while!working!on!a!project!it!
is! absorbed! by! the! project.! You!
are! actually! infusing! energy! into!
the! creation.! If! this! happens,! do!
not! scrap! the!project,! but! rather!
sit!back!and!enjoy!your!creation.!!
!
This! month,! and! in! the! first!
article! of! this! magazine! is! a!
description! of! the! course! called!
Being!Your!Own!Best!Friend.!You!
might! need! this! course! if! you!
cannot! let! go! of! any! negative!
energy! and! you! are! not! able! to!
infuse!the!project!with!joy.!!
Let’s! talk! about! your! time,!
money! and! energy! for! a!
moment.!!
!
Sweat! equity! is! a! term! used! in!
the! real! estate! industry,! and!
more! recently! it! has! been!
coined! and! utilized! for!
entrepreneurships! that! have!
little!to!no!start!up!cash.!!
!
The! more! labor! applied! to! the!
object,! and! the! greater! the!
resultant! increase! in! value,! the!
more! sweat! equity! that! has!
been!used.!!
!
“This!concept,!also!called!"stock!
for! services"! and! sometimes!
"equity! compensation"! or!
"sweat!equity"!can!also!be!seen!
when! startup! companies! use!
their! shares! of! stock! to! entice!
service! providers! to! provide!
necessary! corporate! services! in!
exchange! for! a! discount! or! for!
deferring! service! fees! until! a!
later!date,!see!e.g.!"Idea!Makers!
and! Idea! Brokers! in! High!
Technology! Entrepreneurship"!
by! Todd! L.! Juneau! et! al.,!
Greenwood! Press,! 2003,! which!
describes! equity! for! service!
programs! involving! patent!
lawyers! and! securities! lawyers!
who! specialize! in! startYup!
companies!as!clients.!!
!
How! do! you! calculate! your!
“sweat! equity,! and! exactly! what!
does!the!term!mean?!
!
Sweat! equity! is! the! ownership!
interest,!or!increase!in!value,!that!
is! created! as! a! direct! result! of!
hard!work!by!the!owner(s).!!
!
It! is! the! preferred! mode! of!
building!equity!for!cashYstrapped!
entrepreneurs! in! their! startYup!
ventures,! since! they! may! be!
unable! to! contribute! much!
financial! capital! to! their!
enterprise.!!
!
When!I!spoke!to!the!marketing!
firm,!as!I!stated!earlier,!I!was!
given!the!following!formula:!
!
ROI=Cost)of)Having)A)Client)
!
Then! they!broke! it! down! for!me!
like!this:!
!
!
Cost! of! Having! A! Client! =! How!
much!money,!time!and!energy!do!
I! spend! on! converting! a!
prospective!client!into!a!client.!!
!
Then,! how! much! money! does! it!
take! to! keep! my! business! going!
so!I!can!serve!the!client?!!
!
Honestly! I! never! thought! of! it!
that! way! before!! It! was! a! wake!
up!call.!!
!
First,! I! added! up! all! of! my!
business! expenses! to! determine!
my! costs! of! doing! business.! (I!
have! included! a! list! on! the! next!
page! of! normal! business!
expenses.)!!
!
Then!I!added!in!my!cost!of!living.!
I! needed! to! know! how! much!
money! it! would! take! to! run! my!
household! budget.! This!
determined! how!much! I! needed!
to! pay! myself.! This! amount! is!
considered!the!payroll.!
!
Are! there! hidden! costs! such! as!
membership! fees,! associations,!
certifications! and! continuing!
education!costs?!!
!
What! is! the! growth! I! want! to!
experience!in!this!year?!!
!
In!other!words,!how!many!
people!can!I!serve!next!year?!
)
This!is!how!I!did!it:!
!
1. Figure!out!my!cost!of!living!&!doing!business!annually)
2. Figure!how!many!people! can!physically! be! served! by! my!
current!system)
3. How! many! hours! can!
realistically! be! used! for! this!
service!each!month?)
)
We!must! take! into!consideration!
our! physical,! spiritual! and!
emotional!energy!and!what!each!
client!uses.!
!
We!must! fill! ourselves! up! so!we!
have! enough! to! share! and!
enough! to! spare! without!
depleting!our!own!resources.!
!
!In! my! business! I! need! to!
calculate! other! activities! as! well!
that!are!associated!with!working!
with! the! public! (paperwork,!
advertising,!invoicing,!marketing,!
phone! calls,! resource! searches,!
product! development! and! then!
the! actual! time! I! meet! with! the!
client.)!!!
!
Then! multiply! the! number! of!
people!by!12.!!This!is!your!yearly!
hourly!consumption!by!clients.!
!
Next,! take! your! desired! annual!
salary! and! divide! it! by! the!
number! of! people! per! year! you!
want!to!serve.!!
!
This! is! the! price! of! doing!
business! per! person! yearly!!!
“COSTs”!
!
If!you!are!not!charging!enough!to!
support! the! costs,! then! you!may!
want! to! look! at! the! value! you!
offer.! Can! you! raise! or! lower!
your!prices?!
!
Next,! look! at! the! number! of!
people! can! you! serve,! do! you!
need!more?!But!you!just!checked!
your! time! and! energy,! how! can!
you!possibly!do!more?!
!
Of! course! there! are! all! kinds! of!
solutions! for! you,! and!we!would!
love! to! be! a! resource! to! help!
decide! the! right! one…! but! onto!
the!Costs…!
!
Divide! the! “COSTs”! by! the!
“HOURS”.! This! is! a! general!
example! of! the! costs! associated!
with!each!client.!
!
This! is! the! beginning! of! the!
marketing! budget.! The! number!
from!your!calculation!is!a!general!
starting! point! to! further!
understand! your! return! on!
investment.!
!
To! price! my! products! and!
services! wisely,! there! are! more!
things!I!consider.!I!listen!to!many!
webinars,! teleconferences! and!
stories! about! how! healers! price!
their! products! and! services.!
Often! they! just! pick! a! random!
number,! or! they! set! their! price!
by!what!the!competition!is!doing.!
How! do! you! know! if! their! price!
tag!will!work! for! your!business?!
What! is! your! cost! of! doing!
business?! Is! it! the! same! as! your!
competition?! Please,! use!
common! sense.! To! generate! a!
healthy! thriving! business,! learn!
business!skills.!!
!
I! discovered!my! perfect! rate! for!
an!intensive!is!$750.!I!received!a!
note!last!week!from!a!client.!This!
note! is! an! example! of! perceived!
value:! “you! are! far! underpricing!
your! services,! although! that!was!
good! for! me,! of! course!! You! are!
truly! gifted! and! I! am! SO!
impressed! with! you! and! all! the!
things! you! have! done! and! are!
doing.”!
!
Of! course,! I! could! always! charge!
more.! However,! then! I! must!
decide! if! it! is! worth! it! to! me! to!
place!my!prices!out!of!range,! for!
some! of! my! clients.! ! I! let! spirit!
guide! me! within! a! range! of!
numbers! that! work! in! the! real!
world.!!
!
So!how!do!I!figure!it!all!out?!!
!
The! first! thing! is! to! know!when!
figuring!out!your!pricing!is:!what!
are! the! results! your! client! will!
receive.! Calculate! it! in! time,!
money! or! energy?! How! much!
value!will!they!receive?!
!
As! of! today! I! continue! to! set!my!
prices!based!on!value!I!offer!and!
the!needs! of!my!business.! I! trim!
the! fat!where! I! can.! I! pass! those!
savings! onto! my! clients.! They!
appreciate! this! consideration! it!
keeps!them!coming!back.!!!
!
This! year,! I! created! a! monthly!
membership! package.! With! this!
package,! I! can! charge! less! to!
deliver! the! services.! This! option!
allows! us! to! offer! a! group!
support! system,! education,!
mentoring!and!coaching!to!serve!
a! broader! audience! at! a! lower!
cost!for!all.!
!

BizRichment##The$Branch$Of$Service#
BizRichment™ primary purpose is to enrich the lives of business owners through business systems and processes to create a powerful mindset of self-support while making a difference in the world through service-based business.
BizRichment™ was founded in 2009 from the Healers Unite Lecture and further developed by The Meeting Place and Healers Unite Portland Movement and through the Portland Peace Conference.
The wake up call:
It was a stark realization to the group that 80% of all new coaches failed to create a self-sustaining income through coaching in the first year. Further discovery proved that 65% of practitioners in the healing community specifically alternative health industry went out of business in the first year. These statistics gave us pause, armed with the knowledge we could assist our community of healers, coaches and practitioners, through coaching and mentoring we began to see results. The overall statistics have changed in the national numbers. However, we noted that those businesses that chose to create a relationship with a coaching mastermind group, personal or executive coaching, began to see results right away. They increased their ability to maintain their success in “staying afloat” in the critical years.
