    Jennifer Love — The Law of Subtraction in Manifestation

    Jennifer Love is a Wealth Philosopher, Money Therapist, and the CEO of The Living Wealthy Institute. She is one of Kathy’s business coaches, mentors, and favorite people in the world as well! In this episode, Jennifer shares her passion for helping people through unclogging their emotions and what manifestation truly means. If you ever felt stuck and not sure how to get to the next level financially, Jennifer understands exactly what might be tripping you up. Tune in and be inspired by her stories!   Key takeaways: Jennifer shares the story of when her father left when she was three years old. Growing up, she watched her mother financially disempowered. Being an achiever, she used her childhood experience to prove her self-worth. Despite achieving a lot in her thirties, Jennifer didn’t feel joy and was a prisoner inside her own life. Jennifer explains how 90% of all of our financial decisions are made based on what’s happening in the emotional and psychological aspects of ourselves. She shares that we can’t attach to what it is that we truly desire if we are all clogged up emotionally. It’s the law of subtraction before getting to the law of attraction. How does one start with the process of subtraction? When we manifest from a place of openness and surrender, what then happens? Jennifer uncovers the secret. Understanding one’s own process can get you to a place of self-acceptance. Kathy also shares her own experience working with Jennifer and how she always challenges them in order for them to grow. Following a horseback riding incident in May, Jennifer shares about her surgery and how it connected with her childhood pain. Jennifer also shares her journey through rehab and the micro-intentions she set along the way to be able to walk again. The doctors were amazed at how she was able to recover quickly and walk again after only two weeks! We need to subtract everything that is blocking the pain and be with our emotions. Through subtracting can we only truly manifest the life we want. To follow more of Jennifer’s story, check out her podcast, The Nature of Money.   Resources: The Nature of Money Jenniferlove.com Jennifer on Instagram Jennifer on LinkedIn   Quotes:   “There’s more to this being wealthy thing than just chasing money.”   “We need to have the patience, as nature actually shows us, with ourselves, our own process and timing. We all have our own process.”   “Money is like an eggplant. It just takes on whatever flavor you pair it with.”

Being born and raised in Hawaii, Sarah talks about her decision to move to the U.S. and what it was like. Sarah always loved writing and creative arts growing up. In high school, she stumbled across hip hop. Did this inspire her spoken word passion?

Do you feel a bit weird about outsourcing your email and calendar to someone else? Kathy did, also.

Kathy found herself deleting her entire calendar, and Carrie was able to restore it back to normal!

It’s so important to set inbox rules and filters so that clients can find what they need a lot easier. What is an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and why is it important?

Reach out and say hi!   Resources: Wulfdenvirtualassistants.com Carrie on LinkedIn 5 Day in a Box Detox   Quotes:   “I record the call and just let my client braindump what each team member does and their needs, and from there I figure out what process we need to document for our SOPs.”   “It can be a process, but we get it figured out and we start writing the SOPs. Once clients see their workflows written out, they’re more on board with [why SOPs are so important].”   “Carrie knows me so well that she knows what I’ll be procrastinating on while she’s gone. She has other people on her team slacking me.”

    Terra Bohlmann — Get Really Clear with a Business Map

    Terra Bohlmann is a Business Strategist, Breakthrough Coach, and the Creator of The Business Map Method™. She is also an avid brooch collector! After leaving a very successful career in corporate, Terra now helps women get clear on their company vision so that they can outsource, delegate, and scale their business. In this episode, Terra shares how she had to overcome negative self-talk, how to get started, and why it’s important to loop your husband/spouse into the financials of your business. Key takeaways: A little bit about Terra and why she became a breakthrough coach. Terra just wanted more freedom. She didn’t want to leave her job, but she knew it was time to move on. Terra realized that she and her husband weren’t on the same page when it came to her business, so she sat down and created a business map. It helped him see how everything tied in together. Although your husband/partner might not be a business partner, they’re still your partner in life and it’s important to have both parties on the same page of where “that money” is going. Terra noticed that during her entrepreneurial journey, she had a lot of negative self-talk. Sometimes you really just need to slow down, enjoy life, and have fun. You don’t always have to be working so hard! Terra noticed that she had to push herself hard before she felt like she deserved the money she earned. Terra offers some advice on how to get started. After learning from her past, Terra now protects her self-care time no matter what the circumstances. Stress is a killer! When women in business have a roadmap, it makes it so much easier to have a virtual expert “take care” of the rest. You don’t have to have them figure it all out (and fail) themselves. Terra doesn’t want to feel like a scatterbrain in her business. Terra loves collecting brooches! She loves hunting for a unique piece, and she is starting a new ecommerce store centered around brooches! Brooches are also a great conversation starter at networking events!   Resources: Broochapproach.com Terrabohlmann.com Terra on LinkedIn   Quotes:   “That was something I had to work on, the negative self-talk, and when you do that, it just continues to manifest and it shows up as stress in your body.”   “I felt like I had to work really hard to deserve any money I made.”   “Nobody gets an award for working seven days a week.”
