Episode 3 – Awaken Your Inner Superstar: How to Activate Abundance Through Aligned Leadership with Michelle Villalobos

Monetizing Your Magic

I grew up watching my dad hate every day that he went. He was miserable. He was angry, you know, it stressed him out. And so I learned as a little kid, you look at your parents, like they’re Gods, you know? And so I kind of picked up the message. That work is hard. It’s not fun. You’re not supposed to enjoy it. It’s just a grind. And that was sort of without realizing it subconsciously what I recreated in my own life. And so the idea of like monetizing your magic or doing what you love, I’ve never seen that in any close way in my life, in my family. And so for me, it was a brand new concept and the magic part being like what you do that comes so naturally, so effortlessly, so gracefully that you almost don’t think it’s worth anything.

And that’s the problem, we diminish it and we think it’s not worthwhile. And so then, we were like doing the hard thing for the day to make the money so that we can come home and do the things that we love to do. And my whole thing is like, why don’t you make the thing that you love to do? The thing that makes you the money and I’ve yet to be confronted with a case where that’s not possible.

Trust Your Intuition

Because of that belief system that I had about has to be hard, has to be a struggle, even when I became an entrepreneur and I could do what I wanted to do. I still made it hard. I still made it a struggle. And the reason was that I focused so much on that. There’s some sort of right answer to that. If I could just figure it out, then I would be okay. And I would just constantly map out, map out, map out, seeking this perfect solution to all my problems and investing the model and the strategy and the marketing with the thing that could change my life rather than me being the thing that could change my life. And then the marketing and the strategy and the business would change as a result of me changing. And so the big shift was from believing that the power layout outside of me with some mentor was some strategy, some system, some program, some answer, some business model and shifting the focus to, okay. This was a mentor that helped me do this. I wasn’t able to make this shift by myself of looking inward and saying, okay, who do I wanna be? How do I wanna show up in the world? I want to create my life, my business, my marketing strategies, and all the things I create. And from that place, everything else is just more fun, more joyful, more effective.

Aligned Leadership

I have this little model that I developed that I had planned to share with you. It, it’s not like really yet been fully expressed to the world, but I call it Alma which in Spanish means soul. So it’s four steps.

The first step is alignment. And the way I look at alignment is my brand, Superstar. So like a star, if you imagine a five-pointed star, the usual star with one point up here, aiming up two points, aiming down into the ground. And two arms going out on either side. And so for me, alignment is this five-pointed star. And at the center of that star, is you like, who you really are, your identity, your personality, what you love, what you, what you are naturally without having to try. And that’s the first piece. That’s why it’s the center of the star. It’s like when you get to know that every other piece of the star kind of flows outward from there. And so at the top of the star alignment, right?  So we wanna align with who we are, but at the top of the start align with our north star, with our purpose, with something greater than us, something that’s beyond. Our small life that’s the north star, that’s purpose. 

The two legs of the star. I consider them as like grounding us into this world right on the one leg is the leg that’s grounding us into our physical being. It’s our self-care. It’s our life force. So how are we cultivating life-force energy? Do we eat well? Do we sleep well? You know, are we taking good care of ourselves emotionally, and physically? And then the other leg is our values. So that’s the other thing that grounds us. The values are what connect us to the world. We surround ourselves with people who share our like values and just even get clarity about what we value. What’s important to us. Helps us to that’s a piece of alignment. So alignment inside up here, down on the one leg, the life force on the other leg, our values, and then the two arms shooting out in the arm going back into the past is our alignment with our beliefs and our stories.

Defining Leadership

Leadership could look like the things we create in the world. The words we say, the songs we sing, the dances, we dance, the books, we write that’s leadership. And those things that we invest, that energy into and express put out into the world. Those are the things that have the potential to touch other people and to find their people. To find the resonant matches in the world. And from that place of touching the resonant matches. It can touch people. And then it attracts back something, which I call either you can in some circles, you call it manifestation, and other circles, you call it monetization. But it’s what comes back to you, right? Is monetization in this context, right? The monetizing your magic, you send that magic into the world. It touches people and it brings back opportunities, money, whatever it is. And then from that place, of having now, receiving. Then we have the opportunity to amplify. Like we can partner with people. We can invest the money to send the signal out, even bigger. And that’s ALMA.

And so for me, that’s leadership, it’s like being responsible for your own energy and your own expression in the world. And that’s aligned leadership. And when we’re out of alignment, when those things are funky, when they’re not feeling good, when we’re not dealing with that, then the expression kind of gets, gets wobbly as well.

What Does It Mean To Be Energy-Rich? 

The energy-rich is like coming from the energy of love and inspiration and feeling. The thing is energy-rich doesn’t mean big. It doesn’t mean extroverted. It doesn’t mean loud. It can mean that, especially, you know, for some of us, but it really, what it just means is coming from empathy and compassion and connection. And so when we’re energy-poor or energy-neutral, we’re usually disconnected from whatever, from ourselves, from what’s happening in the world. 

Trust Is The Soul’s Currency

I would say two or three years ago, whatever 2018 was. I remember I claimed that as my torch and I claim to trust. And then a few months later I lost as my whole team started to either quit or I needed to let them go for a variety of reasons. And I ended up by myself in the business for the first time in six years. And Nalia helped me remember. So did my sisters, whom I had claimed trust, and like, what would it look like to trust that this is all happening for me? What would it look like to choose it? Because it’s one thing that I wanna make the distinction between trusting and choosing to trust, it’s different. There’s a distinction between like, oh, I trust that this is okay. Or I trust whatever. And versus like, wow, this really sucks. I’m in the middle of it. I hate it. And I’m gonna choose to trust.

And to bring those stories full circle, like it’s been so amazing ever since I needed that team to go it, there was a new version of me emerging and I needed a new team to be a part of that, that new vision and that new version of me. And I was so attached and that’s another thing. Like we get attached to things. I was so attached to the way it was. I wasn’t making space for what it could be. And so I believe that it was happening for me. And the thing I believe is that I orchestrated it for myself, my hire self orchestrated it, not like some divine entity outside of me.

Be The Creator Of Your Own Reality

I started to have experience a few years ago, as I started to pursue a more spiritual path, I wouldn’t have called it a spiritual path back then, I would’ve called it personal development. I was very scared of anything spiritual. I was not scared but resistant. I didn’t believe I am an atheist for decades since I was 19 years old. So spirituality, that word had a lot of triggers for me. So it was personal development that led me to have some experiences that were beyond what I could comprehend with my mind that they were trans-rational. They were beyond what is rational. And in exploring those things, I started to open up to more opportunities to have more of those experiences. And now I’m like actively seeking. And those experiences are things that I cannot deny, speak to a deeper, bigger universe than what I can comprehend or see or understand. I’m a seeker. I wanna always learn and know and grow. And I don’t remember your question. 

There are creations that want to be birthed that are being called for in the world. And some of them are for you and some of them are for somebody else. But what are you feeling called to is such a big, more powerful question than what would work. Like, the old version of me back in the very, you know, notebook E strategy days is like, will this ideal work, will this strategy work, you know, will this thing fit together? And now that’s a certain consciousness. And a higher vibe question, one that’s gonna naturally bring more joy, more fulfillment, more impact is like what wants to be birthed through. What wants to be expressed through me, what wants to be created with my unique gifts? Co-created. And it finds to me that it’s juicier in it and it creates more excitement, more free energy. There’s more free energy,  there’s energy that’s bound up, and then there’s energy that’s available for the taking, you know, following that free energy of what wants to be created.

Are We Meant To Lead?

Everybody must feel that way and who it might have been special. And now I think if you have that seat inside of you, it wouldn’t be there unless you are being called to lead. Maybe not everybody, like maybe other people have different things that they’re working on in their life.

Money Block

In business, in life, I feel like I’ve seen it enough times now to know that that’s where the juice is in that anger, that resentment, that feeling of it never works for me. Why not me? You know, like that an like, okay, let’s go there. Let’s feel it. Why doesn’t it ever work for you? That sucks, you know? And. Let’s feel it instead of trying to shift it, like, oh, you could feel better because why don’t you try this? We’re looking for an external solution, a magic bullet, a magic genie. We’re looking for someone to fix it for us. And that’s a dangerous place to be in as a coach. Because it’s the underlying issue that needs to get addressed.

Work Shouldn’t Feel Hard

I’m not saying it’s easy, but it’s so simple. It’s literally the star, its alignment. It’s starting with the internal piece. And this is when I did this work, it took me years cuz I didn’t have a model for this. So I developed my model and now, I think it can take anywhere from a few days to a few months to a year or so, in my opinion.

Like it kind of anywhere in there of starting with, okay, who am I, what do I love to do? What do I hate to do? What’s my magic? What’s my magical, unique, special sauce? Why am I here? What matters to me in my life? What would I not want to die without ever having contributed to the world? Am I feeling energy-rich, physically physiologically, biologically taking care of my vessel? Am I aligned with my values or am I living outside of accordance with what  I believe in?

Abundance Is Not Having The Money. It’s Having The Mindset

To be abundant, you feel abundant, like abundance begins. We think of abundance as like an outcome of a certain number of dollars in the bank, a certain jewelry or cars or homes or whatever it is that we associate to abundance as a little kid. When we have enough, then I’ll be abundant. And honestly that rarely happens or if ever, and that’s why we see, like, you’ve heard the stories of people that win the lottery and then they’re back to being broke again because abundance is not having the money it’s having the mindset. And so I think each of us is a little different, but there are certain things that are associated with an abundance mindset. One of them that I’ve been taking on lately is generosity. I find that when I’m being generous, I feel abundant. So it’s the mindset that we cultivate. And it doesn’t mean you have to be giving away 50 and a hundred dollars all day long. What makes you feel abundant? What feels like it might be getting the nicer glass of wine instead of the cheap one. You know, maybe cost you an extra $4 for the nicer glass of wine, but it feels more abundant. You enjoy the wine so much more. So like, how do you cultivate the mindset and the feeling of abundance by wearing nice clothes? I feel like our responsibility is to cultivate the feelings of abundance for me, that’s generosity and that’s gratitude.Those are the two feelings that I most associate with abundance. 

How Do We Not Blame Ourselves?

If everything’s happening, how do we not blame ourselves? Because there’s a fundamental belief underneath that, I think that I’m gonna call it pull-forward. And that belief is that there’s good and bad, right and wrong. And what I’m gonna offer to you is perhaps everything is,  if you take on, and this is a big one, I know this is like a game changer, life changer, complete overhaul of your entire perspective on life. But if you take on that, everything is already okay. Not that it’ll be okay, but that it’s already okay.

Everything is good. Then you can take on that. It’s happening for you, even if you don’t understand exactly why or how. And so what I mean by that is. If you take on that, there’s nothing, no one to blame. There’s no blame, right? Like that you, that it’s happening for you because there’s some transformation, there’s some growth, there’s some greater good. There’s something that’s, that is already happening. If you really place the value on growth and expansion, rather than on outcomes. 

Episode 2 – Feminine Leadership: Redefining Abundance | Dr. Nanilea Diamond

I’ve been deepening with this over decades of working with people. And looking at the patterns and the energy patterns existing underneath and what I’ve found is that, and when we talk about abundance, something that’s important for me to clarify is that we’ve been trained more and more, and as a society to think money when we hear the word abundance. And I see that being a way to condition us and have us associate money as the relational to like the city of life, like the true abundance, the two life-giving wellsprings of where we draw our energy for creation from and what may gives us power and gives us access and gives us avenues of creativity being absolutely just instantly directionally related to money.

So I like to back up from that energy and just really plant the word abundance. In the reality and the truth I see it as a paradigm that there’s nothing bad or wrong with money. Money’s absolutely a part of abundance. Absolutely critical a part of it and to just watch that conditioning, that brings us into a consumer society, a mechanistic society, and a society based on materialism, that disconnects from the true roots being in the abundance of the earth and the rhythms.

And that’s where I feel like feminine energy really begins our connection to the earth to mama. So mama Gaia, how we treat the earth is how is everything in relation to it shows us our relationship to the feminine. Wow. You know, do we rape her? Do we, you know, care about her? Do we protect her? Do we have guidelines and regulations that take care of her? What are our standards? All of that. So as far as abundance, I feel like, at the root level, it’s going back to a paradigm shift. Are we rooted in creating everything and I teach everything I do? There’s one fundamental core energy I come back to, which is the energy we create from guides and determines our creations.
So with that, holding that as the center flame. Back up the abundance into really saying that we are rooting in a paradigm of abundance that first honors, the energy of creation itself to not instantaneously be put into the energy matrix of money and mechanistic consumer society version, and then from that, cause that’s where I see true, the feminine and women truly, truly be rooted in what will make them access the extraordinary financial abundance is when they are unplugged from that consumerism kind of society. That is, by the way, crumbling right now. They are truly rooted and created from this other place. They can, they will have innovation, like never before they will have created. And they will also have deep-seated permission to go beyond the limit that society creates.

Transplant Your Roots Back Into The Source of Creation

If you follow all those behavioral things that are, women are experiencing, the overwork, the stress, the pushing, the masculine, all of that, the fundamental energy you come back to is the roots. Have needed to be transplanted. I say, let’s transplant your roots back into the source of creation. And from there, you, you have the truth and the reality remembered through your being that life is, is abundant. It’s not like you have to try to be it. It just is. And you become an extension of that. And then you can get wildly creative with how you wanna do that. Do you wanna do that in financial wealth? Beautiful. I think bringing in financial wealth is a way for women to have, it’s like an access point into their system to see.

It relates to their power. It relates to how they are with masculine energy. And so a woman, starting to grow financially, she’s gonna meet all these other parts of herself. And I call it like an underground root system, energetically in her, in her being that will start to uproot and have the opportunity for change in reorganization.

One of The Biggest Challenges With Women In The Area of Abundance

I think that for women, in particular, I mean if we look at just where we are in, in our society, in our timeline. 1960 was when a woman was allowed to open her own bank account without needing a signature from a man. 1974 was when she was allowed to have her own credit card. And then she’s allowed to have her own house. So it’s new in our system. And previous to that, we were owned. We were owned by a man. I mean, we’re talking only a few decades, so it’s very recent. And these things have been subconsciously put into the programming of our being, in our body. And we will meet those limits. They’re not even beliefs because they’re below beliefs. They move into the realm of just pure, raw energy patterns of subconscious archetypal programming that goes on. 

I say men also, but for a woman like her sexuality is, you know, it’s just prostitution everywhere. It’s made for marketing, it’s one of the hottest marketing things, a woman’s sexuality. We see advertisements that have a woman, you know, showing her sexuality and it’s for absolutely nothing to do with that. And so that actually has what I’ve seen in the women I work at with is. There’s kind of this like push-pull going on in their system with creating period and especially financial wealth and abundance because they don’t wanna be commoditized. They don’t want to bring it into a realm of, of sales and money.

They wanna make their own creative energy precious again. And once it turns, goes into the marketplace, Now we hit this energy of like, wow, I’ve we hit the collective energy of the feminine being commoditized, prostituted, all those things. And so it takes an incredible amount of clearing that from our system and coming into sovereignty with our own sexual, creative energy, and choosing to do it and building around boundaries and standards and ways of it expressing that hold it sacredly. So there’s a lot in that.

How Can A Woman Use Her Sexual Energy In A Healthy Way To Harness Her Creativity?

I work a lot in peak performance and working with high-level athletes or, or entrepreneurs or think tanks and that sort of thing. Even like there are seen as flow state is something, well, we’re gonna use flow state to go and produce more and that there’s this whole thing of just using to get more outcomes,  to get more output. So it’s this undoing. And what I see in the I do with women is really them coming into their sexuality, their creativity as their own. Like my sexuality only exists with a man. Now it exists on your own. Your creativity exists on your own and to undo all of that programming and her system to have it called out, to have it confronted, and to begin to grow for a woman’s eyes that can see it. Cause if you can’t see it, if you’re blind to it, you’re gonna put on that energy and wear it out and not even know it, you know? And it’s like, well, you got that dress on. You didn’t even know it. You know, if you have eyes to see it, then you come into a place of having a greater choice and moving back into the energy of just sovereignty with your own energy and saying, it’s my joy to create powerfully. It’s my joy to shake things up and build this thing and do this thing.

Become More Intimate With Yourself

Know thy self for, for women, it’s knowing what is feminine energy. What is your heart? What are your desires? And to unplug from the matrix? A lot of it’s unplugging and undoing when I have retreats and we have women come in, a lot of it is like, all right, we’re gonna have to like pull the weeds off to even get to what is the flower underneath, you know? And it’s another way of remembering 1960.

Remember we had got societal permission to have our own bank account without a man’s signature. Like there’s still that programming. It’s the same thing for sexuality. It wasn’t till I don’t have the exact date, but recently where inter-marital rape was considered illegal, like, or inside the marriage, you know, a woman’s sexuality was owned by a man. She didn’t have a choice. And so there’s still that undoing of sexuality. I think currently in the modern woman where she’s waiting for a man to bring it out in. Well, I need a man so that I can feel this way. No, you have YOU.

Yes. It’s wildly enhanced by being with a man. Don’t get me wrong. Do you know what I mean? I love that. And those that sexual raw freedom exists in you, and then you share it with a man you don’t show up with a need, you show up with an overflowing and this is abundance. You show up with an abundance of that energy running through your system, and it’s like, let’s share this. Let’s be in this. Let’s see where we go together in this.

Find The Symbols That Speaks To You And Use That To Enhance Your Own Power For Yourself

A lot of how we translate life is through metaphor and symbology. There’s more association with the right side of the brain of moving things into a different way of translation. And beyond that, is the work that I do and why I feel like I’m here on the planet to help women unlock forgotten codes and live them to open into realms of their being that have been latent, that have been unlived. And literally, the codes in their DNA have not been transcribed. Like they have not been living frequencies and part of that is if we look at epigenetics we code for what our environment signals. 

We also have in our genetics, the ability to put things called chemical caps onto our genetic coding. That basically says it’s a cap. It says, don’t code for this. Don’t be this vibration. Don’t be this expression don’t do, or do it in a very limited range. Why? Our predecessors and generations before got killed for it or got banished for it, or it was dangerous for them or it made life hard for them. Or there was massive trauma somewhere in the family line, for this reason, you know? And so it puts a chemical cap evolutionarily. It’s an evolutionary survival tactic of our nervous system to say, don’t do this. It was dangerous. 

And so, especially for women and this even goes back to what I believe, the witch hunt. And that women have deep access to magic and to the priestess. That’s why I’m, I’m in the study of, of, of priestess sort of, you know, really accessing the magic that a woman has to see and translate life in ways that are incredible. There is feminine and masculine energy. And then there’s a male and female operating system, our body, and our nervous system. The masculine operating system has evolutionarily over generations and generations been designed around more masculine energy. The feminine has been designed evolutionarily as an operating system around the feminine. Which means there’s interconnection. We’ve been evolutionarily designed. We’ve over time adapted and sharpened our skills of being the ones who care for the tribe, you know? And so our senses, our old factory system, and our bodies are much more heightened than a man’s because we can smell. Range in the immune system vibrationally to know when a child is sick before they’re sick. You know, we have all of these abilities in our nervous system to recognize energy patterns. 

Photographically in the tribe to see interconnections and to translate metaphorically and symbolically and to know things about how to lead life and move life forward. I believe there are caps on many parts of those because for a woman to come into her full power has been seen as dangerous, for many reasons.

Is The Term Witch Just Labeled To Shame A Woman For Being  Powerful?

I think the witch is one word to describe it. I see it as entire libraries, like a whole library of codes, which is more the identity or the name that someone would call themselves. My specialization is going the energy patterns and the codes and the, everything that’s existing in. And before the expression, like the witch, is kind of the end result in what society might call her or what she might call herself. But it’s the library of codes that she’s accessing. And she’s drawing from like the energy we create from guys and determines our creation.

So you can call yourself a witch, but how what’s the expansion? What is your access? You know, and what library of codes and what I’ve seen to be true is that there are many different lineages of mystical arts, mystical medicines, and mystical cultures that have been broken and fragmented. And much of it, those witch rays, in which burnings, it was not safe to do anything connected to the earth.

And we’re going there again, we’re in that now where there’s one we’ve switched from. the A religious thing to more medical, but it’s like we’re in a thing where it’s like, wow, are we on the earth? I truly believe we’re at this, this global initiation because all of us are here on the planet to fully live these codes again.

Why Society Is Not Designed To Allow Women To Be In Their Full Power? 

The energy it came from was very patriotic energy that saw women in a very subservient way. Like I said, even 1970 allowed you to get your own bank account like it was designed that women were owned by a man. It was just designed from old energy that was steeped in a religious view. Most of it said the man was the only voice in the house. The only power in the house. Men’s full glory comes through being in a sacred woman union. It doesn’t work for men either to have that kind of societal construct. They’re not loving it either. A lot of that for men still is UN unbundling, to recognize that there isn’t true fulfillment in control and domination. And it actually stems from scarcity and they end up feeling unfulfilled and alone in that.

A Woman’s Guide To Owning Her Power

Women back away from relationships and say, I’m gonna work on myself until I’m totally ready. And then I’m gonna go into a relationship. And it’s like, well, the way I see relationships really is that it is one of the biggest playgrounds for spiritual growth. As for myself, I didn’t like holding back from a relationship until I was utterly whole in myself and then say, I’m ready. I found wholeness through entering into a love and a commitment to love and into intimacy cuz the rawness of being in a real intimate relationship is it will rip your ego apart. It’ll show you and that’s what I feel is part of its design.

I think we have to undo the construct of what we think, relationships and partnerships, and all those things are supposed to be happily ever after where there’s never anything that happens. Like my husband and I are two of the fiercest mirrors to each other. We do our spiritual work of that together because we commit to going the distance together, so I think there is some of that of like coming into your full glory as a woman and it’s how we view relationships and what we view their purpose to be. And going there to open, going there to grow, going there to love, going there to be imperfect, going there to be humble. All of those things and going there to just be a mess human sometimes, and to seek to love in our messiness. You need to love yourself first, you need to be completely whole.

The Feminine Blueprint

It’s a powerful vortex that is unfolding in the world, into a bunch of teachings and training. It’s an approach a method. It’s a map really for a woman to come into her full glory, to come into her full power. And it’s designed really to be, although it can be used in many different ways to be a year cycle, year-long women and feminine. We work in cycles. Our intelligence is in cycles and rhythms. And within like one moon cycle within one year cycle, there are many different frequency activations organically within one cycle for a woman. The new moon’s energy is different than the quarter of the new moon. That’s different than the full moon. There are different energy frequencies and activations that happen naturally. And as we cycle as women, Our hormones are different at every point. Like we are. There’s so much that is encoded in each part of that cycle. I’ve been given, like this came through me, really not from me is that it was shown how to bring a woman through one full cycle in one year of all of those frequency code activations.

Full receptivity and yin energy really are in its ancient future power. And then coming into, as that, moon waxes and comes into the quarter moon, it’s about the embodiment. and then coming into expression and embodiment is where we face. The fire embodiment is about sovereignty in the queen and the energetic castle of your standards, boundaries, upper limits, constructing yourself as a woman, as you come into form full moon.

There are teachings that are layered in it to bring a woman into her fullness. And then in the fall season, it’s attraction. And that’s moving more into yin energy as we go back into the dormancy of winter. So the yin energy building and the principles and practices and embodiments of magnetism of yin building in the system to where we’re actually saying, come to me like one of the most beautiful ways they love to look at feminine energy and attraction is to look at the egg in the sperm.

The sperm hunts. The egg comes down, that fallopian tube, she’s with her sisters hanging out up there and it’s like, oh, it’s your turn girl one at a time they come down like that catwalk, and their radiance. And what they’re saying, energetically is like, come to me, come to me. It’s a magnetic pole at the center of life. There’s this magnetic pole of the feminine. That is her superpower. That is her radiance. And that actually gives the sperm, the signal of where to come of the precision biochemically. 

Initiations

A lot of these words can get thrown around in pop culture and the meaning of it can be different.I draw that word from priestess tradition.

In the priestess lineage in coming forward as priestess teachings, an initiation is something that like, life is the initiation. We don’t create our own initiations. Consciously initiations are, when we are saying, I’m gonna come to live this, I’m grabbing this torch of this new intention, new dream, new knowledge that I must live this. And we all have those where you’re like, oh, this is what life’s asking me to live. What are we gonna do with that? And it’s like, how I’m gonna take that torch is how I use it in the feminine blueprint. That’s the symbol, right? I use it because when you can relate to it, it becomes a mythic story rather than a conceptual analytical thing.

It’s a mythic story we go on in this feminine blueprint. So it’s, I grab the torch and I say, okay,  I’m gonna live this. Like I got this, I got the memo, the spirit told me, soul told me, I got the memo. I’m going to tell the sisters in the tribe here that I got it and what it is. And we’re all gonna witness in you.

And now you begin stepping forward in life, holding that torch of that, which you are here to live and birth and you begin walking that walk in the world and what life will bring you. An initiation is an opportunity. If we choose to see it that way, sometimes it will kick your butt. Most of the time it will shred. Here you go and make you really choose and decide who you are. And can you stand in it with your torch, a blaze? Or do you shrink back? Do you sell out? Do you prostitute? Do you quiet your voice? Do you try to turn it into something that it wasn’t really, but it’s safer, you know, all the things will do. And that’s why I hold as a mentor with women, fierce accountability. Like you, I say I will not stand with you in a lie.

I know that you are given the torch you are given because you are here to live it. And that means you are given everything. You need everything. You need all everything. An apple seed needs to become an apple tree is in that pattern. It’s in that code, all it needs is water and soil and an environment. That’s what this sisterhood that becomes, so that you can grow that and then just like, come, come, grow, grow. So those initiations or what, or life will initiate us into it.

AAP E31 - Monthly Reoccuring Revenue

I took a little hiatus from hosting my podcast over this summer and did a lot of reflecting, a lot of refining and reshaping my messaging, my mission, my brand. Now I’m super clear on who I’m here to serve and I am super excited to be coming out again to guide my listeners who have the desire to have monthly recurring income in their businesses. The people that I love working with are the fellow photography educators, the coaches, the spiritual teachers, those who have wisdom that they know is meant to be shared with the world. And, they haven’t quite figured out how to do it in a way that works best for their followers, their students, and themselves. Having the lifestyle that they wanna have, the balance they wanna have, the income they wanna have. And I wanna share a little bit about something that’s worked really well for me, to create that monthly recurring income in my business.

From Photography to Unleashing Other Potentials 

So who am I and why? Listen to me. I’m Julie Goetzinger. As you know, I started out as a portrait photography business owner, specializing in boudoir photography. And what that is, is empowerment. Photo sessions for women. I also did some high school, senior shoots, and family shoots. I love photography, but when COVID came in 2020, I couldn’t do the in-person work. So I decided rather than applying for a loan or unemployment, that I was going to take an inventory of my skillset and see what else I could do to bring in that income that I wanted to provide for my family.

I started doing intuitive readings, and I did them online. And, they quickly got booked. I am a psychic medium as well, and they got booked so quickly and I realized that it was way too much to be doing that one-on-one work for a low price point. It was not sustainable. I was exhausted. I did confirm for me that I am, actually a psychic medium. So that was good. And I got a lot of great testimonials and people saying how the messages were changing their lives. And I had to leverage my time in a different way to also increase my income. What I did was I ended up hiring my coach, Michelle Villalobos, who taught me this retreat business model so that I could leverage my time.

I ended up implementing her system that she taught me and I made over a hundred thousand dollars using this retreat model that I’m gonna share with you. And I made it in the first seven months of implementing this model. The year before I had brought in $40,000 and which is wonderful, which is great. And that was not enough to sustain me. And I did become a single mom. After I separated from my partner, I knew that I was going to have to bring in more income to provide for my children and myself. This all happened at the right time, as it always does in the universe. So I ended up bringing in that a hundred thousand dollars in the first seven months of doing this model.

I also became an international bestselling author. That’s me with my book, “Free to fly, manifest the life of your dreams,” where I actually share my full story of how I went from making $40,000 to making $225,000 two years after that. It took me two years to get to that. I’ve also hosted seven retreats. I’ve hosted virtual retreats; I’ve hosted international retreats and domestic retreats. I call them my abundance breakthrough retreat, which you’re gonna hear a little bit more about, little couple minutes. I’m also the host of this podcast, obviously, and I hosted a summit called “Unleash your abundance.”

So as I shared before I started out, actually, I was a public school teacher before becoming a photographer. I was a fifth grade public school teacher and I felt my leadership skills dying to come out. I had the desire to teach teachers. I remember hearing that intuitively that I meant to teach teachers.

And I had a lot of resistance around being led, especially by women. I had a very strong leader at the time that I clashed with. And I now know it was because I had not allowed myself to step into leadership yet. So I blamed her for what I would’ve done differently as a leader, and I can laugh about it now, but yeah, I gave her a run for her money.

I definitely questioned her multiple times. Questioned authority, questioned her leadership, to her face, and learned a lot from that experience. First of all, how to respect leaders and how it’s a really fucking hard job to do. And also that I am meant to lead myself. And that’s where that frustration and blame came in. Because I hadn’t allowed myself to step into leadership yet. 

Those are my beautiful children there in the photo. I have two wonderful children and I believe that it’s really important to model leadership for them. And to model following your heart, following your intuition, doing what feels good to you, not chasing after money, but knowing that you get to decide what you do and you can be really profitable, wealthy by doing what is in alignment with you, and what that means—what feels right? What feels good? What feels fun? It’s not always easy, but feels like a yes. And when you follow that, that’s where your abundance lies. That’s where your freedom lies. Your fullest expression, the money, the love—all of it lies in that place of saying yes to what feels right to you.

The Problem: Trading Time for Money

And my problem that I grew to work through was that I was trading my time for money. I was doing one-on-one photo shoots. I was doing one-on-one intuitive readings, one-on-one coaching, which all of them created a lot of joy and pleasure for me, but it wasn’t sustainable because I felt like I was always chasing my next one.

I would do one photo shoot and then looking for my next one; I would do an intuitive reading and then have to do another one right afterwards, cause I wasn’t charging enough. I would coach one person at a time and there is wonderful money in one-on one-coaching. I still do it today and I still love it, but I have to limit how many people I can take. Cuz it’s a big form of energy exchange when you’re meeting one-on-one with a person to coach. My solution became the group model. Coaching a group at the same time on a common goal and having common backgrounds, common interests, and a common destination was the solution to my problem.

And this is an example of one of my abundance breakthrough retreats, and we call it a retreat because we retreat from our lives to do this program together. And it is absolutely doable. It’s doable virtually or in person. I will say that I prefer in person now that we can be in person again with COVID settling down. It’s been equally powerful and successful doing it virtually.

And if you have clients in different areas like I do in different countries, coming together virtually makes sense. There’s also zero overhead costs and it’s amazing the deep bonds and connections that happen online, as we’ve seen during COVID, that you can develop really beautiful bonds and connections with people sometimes never even having met them in person.

And that’s exactly what happened for my clients. They started to form these friendships and these alliances together even though many of them had never even met each other in person. So you can do this virtually or in person. I choose to do a hybrid of both so that I can mix it up with where my clients can come from.

So it’s more open to more people and more places. And I also do them in person. This is an example of one of my in person, abundance, breakthrough retreats. It was in San Diego. And at this retreat I had five people join in who were brand new to working with me. Four out of the five went on to join my yearlong program after that. And I’ll share a little bit more about that a little. 

So what the retreat is is a three-day immersive experience to achieve a specific outcome. And then, you invite them to a year-long mastermind program. And what I’ve learned from my coach, Michelle Villalobos, is that people want the biggest transformation in the shortest amount of time. If you can provide a really amazing outcome for them, such as having their own program completed, developed, ready to launch by the end of those three days together, that’s a really juicy outcome, as we call it, because that’s something people take a long time to create on their own.

And they’re always second-guessing themselves. How much do I charge for? Is someone really gonna buy this? And that’s something we do, too. During the three-day experience, we work through the mindset blocks because we can get excited about an idea and be like, “Oh my gosh, that sounds so much fun. I’d love to host a retreat, but where do I start with the marketing? Who’s gonna come? Who’s gonna pay that much for the retreat?” And my retreat is 2, 997. That’s the cost of my retreat. So you might have blocks around that. Who’s gonna pay that for three days? Well, a lot of people will. I’ve paid for it myself multiple times. So, I don’t have that mindset block, but a lot of people think, “Oh, that’s a lot of money for three days. And how do I know it’s gonna work for me?” That’s part of the work too—working through their own mindset blocks and their own limiting stories about what’s possible for them and their ability to achieve the desired.

And it’s also about coming together with a group that has a common goal of also doing this. This group also wants to start hosting retreats. They also want to add coaching to their business. They also wanna step more into leadership, so they have that common goal. And then we invite them to the year-long mastermind program to start rolling out that program.

Three-Day Retreat to a Year-Long Mastermind Program

During the retreat, we build the program. And then during the year-long program, that’s when they get the accountability support, the mindset, support the friendship, the bonding of the community, the stepping further into leadership and working through other personal problems that come up along the way throughout the year. Cuz we all have things that come up personally and they get that support in the year-long program. And like I shared before, the results from hosting not my very first retreat but my first in-person retreat was that four out of the five people who attended my first retreat joined my yearlong master program, which is called “Free to Fly.” This allowed me to leverage my time and to stabilize my income because people had two options.

And at the time the cost of the year-long program was $16,000 and has since gone up, but the cost was 16,000. So they could choose to pay that in full for the year, or they could do $1,600 a month in a payment. What that allows for is for you to have the monthly recurring income. So,every month you’re gonna be getting this recurring payment from the people who chose to do the monthly payment plan. A lesson I learned along the hard way was when people choose to pay in full, avoid the temptation and just be like, “Woo, we’re rich! Now we can do whatever we want.” I did fall into that trap and I didn’t go crazy as far as buying cars or things like that. Like stories you hear about that. I’ve never been really into material things like that. No judgment if you are, but I am more into experiences. So I did a ton of traveling. I went to all my favorite places in California and Colorado. I really didn’t do much of a shopping free. I spent more of the money on experiences going out to nice restaurants, things like that. What I did not plan for was that not everyone’s gonna pay you in full and you need to be mindful of, your overhead expenses, like paying the venues and putting deposit down for future retreats, because I do this multiple times a year.

Of course, you need to be thinking about taxes. You need to be thinking about your team, paying a team, because if you grow quickly as I did—I went from 0 to 15 year long clients really quickly. I got to hire a team to help support me. So then I started to have money going out to them.

I needed more money for my marketing, my design work, because I was growing and I didn’t account for all of that. And when I saw the lump money come, I just thought I was rich. So I’m much more wise now. I’m actually doing the profit-first method that Mike Michalowicz teaches in his book, “Profit First.” But then you also need to be smart about managing your money and then also of course investing and growing your wealth.

Case In Point: Success Stories from my Program

Just to share some case studies of people that I’ve worked with, who’ve had great success from my program like Taylor Shawley. Before Taylor took our money-intensive and abundance breakthrough program, she wrote in her journal that she would like to have a $25,000. She ended the month at nearly $37,000, the highest month ever in her business. And she said that this time, it felt easy and she didn’t feel overwhelmed or overworked. Taylor graduated from our Free to Fly program. That’s our year-long program and is now studying to become a certified sex coach and is hosting her own self-love retreats and programs.

And then we have Kira Jones here with her adorable family. Kira brought in $45,000 in 40 days while taking our money intensive and abundance breakthrough programs. She’s now successfully hosting online software programs for her BIR portrait clients, which have allowed her more time to be home with her new baby girl.

And then we have Devanie McCartney. When she signed up for our money intensive and abundance breakthrough program, her goal was originally to make $6,000 in the next 30 days. Through our coaching program, She made over $13,000 that month. She shared, “Julie is inspirational, truly intuitive, and a lifesaver. She helped me healed me and gave me the tools I will forever use in my life and business.”

So just to share with you some of the numbers, because we all love to know how is this gonna work out like numerically? A possibility, and I do think this is a likely possibility, cuz I’ve been through this experience myself and I’ve led others through it as well, it’s very possible that you could be offering one retreat or one immersion experience per season. So that would give you four retreats in a year. I choose to do two in person and two virtuals. So I’ve got four yearly myself. It’s very likely that you can get at least five people enrolled into each immersion. That would give you 20 participants. The cost of the retreat will likely be around $2,500 to attend a three day retreat, which would bring you $80,000 up front.

A likely statistic is that about 30% will enroll in your year-long program at about $12,000. That’s average. I mean, I would say most programs are more than that. This is pretty conservative, but if it was about $12,000 for the year, then that would give you $72,000. In addition to the 8,000 and just to share with you my results from doing it.So that’s a possible scenario that I just share with you. 

In the first seven months after I launched this retreat model, I enrolled 20 people in three retreats at $2,200 each, which brought in $44,000. And then, I enrolled nine people into my Free to Fly mastermind program at $1,100 a month for the year.

So that brought in a $118,800. the total revenue was 162,800 from hosting retreats and my Free to Fly program alone. And that didn’t include my one-on-one coaching clients, who I enrolled at five to $10,000. Didn’t include photo shoots. Didn’t include any other special programs that I’ve released.

I also do online programs. I mentioned my money-intensive program earlier. The money-intensive program is an online course that people can do from their home. You they can work through the modules themselves. That is a bonus when people sign up for my retreat. So most people get it rolled into the bonus of the retreat. But to purchase that alone is $499. So I sold some of those as well. But what I found is that my biggest success has come from hosting these retreats and then inviting into my year-long Free to Fly program. That is exactly what I am going to be helping my clients to do themselves in our own retreats.

Actually, the next one is coming up in October. So this is October six to eighth, 2022. And this one is gonna be virtual. I also have one coming up in Washington, DC. That’s where I live currently. January 5th to7th, 2023. And then we’re doing another virtual one in February and then April again, we’re gonna be back in Washington.

So during my three-day experience, the outcomes that I promise to my clients are that I will help them to hone in the vision for what they want to create, getting to a place of not ‘what does everybody like, what are they asking me for? How can I accommodate everybody else?’ but how do you want to be living? What kind of hours do you want to be working? What would feel best for you? So allowing ourselves to start there, creating the vision for what we want, how we wanna show up the amount of time we wanna spend doing it with a life of balance. So that’s what we work through first. And then, we get to the mindset piece. As we get excited and we’ve received the vision and that’s a really exciting time when we’re like, “Oh my gosh, this could be amazing for my business. This can be so much fun. Where will I host it? Maybe I’ll go to California.” We get into that excitement phase. And then we get the ego that says, “Well, how are you going to get people to sign up for this? Or you’ve never done anything like this before. You don’t like to leave you. Don’t like when people look at you. What will you talk about?”

That is what we work through as well. Those limiting beliefs, the mindset blocks that say, “You can’t do this. Who are you to think you can do this? Others are already doing it. Like it’s not gonna work. You’ve tried these programs before. They never.” So we work through those mindset blocks. A lot of them are subconscious, and that’s where my intuitive gifts come in, that I can help you to reveal those limiting stories. Sometimes they’re not even from this lifetime, I’m able to look back at past lives. Also at ancestry to look at patterns. I look at money patterns. I look at what you believe you’re worthy of and why I can see past experiences and help you. Once we bring light to them and reveal them, then we can accept them, heal them and release them.

So we do that together during the three-day retreat. And then we get into implementation. Let’s put this together, let’s build these packages. Let’s build this offer. How are we going to market it? How are we going to sell it? Who are we talking to? Very specifically, who’s our target market. That is what we’re gonna be doing during my three-day experience. And I am going to have a link to set up a call with me if you’re interested in joining. The cost is to 997, but I do have a special offer. If you know that it feels like you’re a right fit for the retreat, then I will offer the special discounted pricing to you. 

I am so excited to be back on my podcast and recommitting to my focus goals and to serving fellow photography, educators, coaches, spiritual teachers, those of us who’ve been called into leadership. Some of us don’t know yet that we’re called into it, but I will tell you if you have trouble being led by others or in the past, you have. If you feel this burning desire to teach, to lead, but you’re not sure what it’s about yet, then this is for you. If you already have online programs and you have this big vision for them all selling and they’re just not, or you have no offering after they take the program, then this could be for you, cuz we can work on that year-long follow-up program, the mastermind program.

If you are a spiritual teacher and you’re doing individual sessions, you’re wondering how you’re going to ever hit that six-figure or seven-figure mark in your business when you’re trading your time for money. When it’s just one-on-one, or you’re working for a studio and you’re making $30 a session, how you ever gonna hit those bigger income goals in doing that? So if you think that hosting a retreat is something you’d like to do and would enjoy doing, but you don’t know where to start, this is for you.
