Goals vs Desires: A key difference when it comes to manifestation

I was talking to a long-time private client this morning about what is next for her.

It was a question I posed to her last week for her to contemplate. 

Things are good, even great for her yet she’s ready for more. I can feel it. She can feel it. But she doesn’t YET know what it is.

She came back to me today with an awareness that she hasn’t really “done goals” well in her life. She just focuses on doing good work and things unfold for her.

We unpacked this and I shared how this was both in alignment with how the Universe works to deliver the manifestations you desire and how it’s also incomplete.

Let me explain…

The Law of Compensation says that in order for you to receive greater compensation you must become bigger than your present place… bigger than who you’re being right now.

This requires growth. 

Growth requires that you become more.

When you have a standard of excellence for yourself in your work and you keep taking on more and doing it with excellence, you will naturally become more. 

You will grow yourself to be a bigger container for the good that you desire.

(This is true whether we’re talking about income, ease, love, spaciousness, exuberant joy, sexual energy, or whatever you desire.)

This is how you become open to receiving more.

And yet there’s often an unconscious missing piece…

DESIRE.

True desire, not lack disguised as desire, is a cause set in motion.

When you claim a true desire it calls you forward into the growth that the Law of Compensation asks of you.

It’s connected to YOUR truth – not a should.

It’s connected to YOUR abundance – not scarcity.

It’s connected to YOUR purpose – not an obligation.

Now let’s compare this to goals. 

I’m a big fan of them but only when you can hold them with an open heart and only when they start from a place of desire… not should, not scarcity, not obligation. 

Most people when they set a goal that doesn’t meet the “desire criteria” immediately feel a certain amount of constriction. 

This is actually a GOOD thing. It’s telling you that you’re off course, either slightly or to a large extent.

This is a forced goal, rather than a true desire.

In order to shift, it just takes tapping back into what you truly, really want.

What is that for you?

This is what we’ll be discussing in our Spirit of Wealth Retreat – what is rising up in you ready for a rebirth. #PhoenixRising

Here’s what I did (and do!) to move past fear

Fear has a sneaky way of stopping you. Sometimes it’s obvious and looks like plain old fear. You know the kind… The pit in your stomach. The sweaty hands. The shaking voice.

But sometimes it shows up casually sabotaging your progress in subtle ways.

For me that often looked like that voice in my head… 

“This is too much to do now.” 
“I don’t have time.”
“I’ll be completely splayed out.”
“I just have to do this first.”
“I need to take care of my new client first.”
“I need to onboard my team members first.”

Basically, some version of “I can’t do this” cleverly wrapped up in a reasonable rationale.

Don’t these thoughts seem totally normal? Even reasonable?

But really? They are your subconscious program running the show and keeping you from doing the SCARY thing that you consciously want to do but unconsciously want to avoid. 

Yep, it’s an avoidance technique, plain and simple. And it happens at every level, though it may look slightly different once you get past the 7-figure mark.

It’s productive procrastination. (Side note: Have you listened to the podcast I did on productive procrastination? It’s a fan favorite, so many women nodding their heads to this!)

We’re all super good at it. Myself included.

But in order to get different results, like crossing the 7-figure mark… Or taking your revenue beyond that figure… Or getting your dream house within the year… Or going on a long vacation and leaving your business completely in the hands of your team…

You must move past this pattern that’s running the show and reprogram your subconscious.

Everything you want is on the other side of your automatic programmed responses. You’ve got to do life and do business differently. 

This is exactly what we teach in our Spirit of Wealth Mastermind and Masterclass. We go deep – especially at our in-person retreats.

Do you remember when you used to be scared of losing the sale? (Maybe you still are???) 

I do. But it didn’t really look like being scared, at least not on the outside.

On the outside I was confident. I was putting the reps in, having the conversations, showing up.

But on the inside, I was desperate. I really needed the money. Ever been there? That month when you’re really tight?

I remember those months, thinking… Am I going to make payroll? Were we going to be able to pay the Amex bill? What if I can’t pull it off?

It was a roller coaster. 

It’s kind of the “way of the entrepreneur”–risk taking, going all in, assured that you’re going to make it, but then getting way beyond your comfort level.

It throws you into desperation. 

Now, there’s a shadow side of desperation and, surprisingly, a positive side to desperation. Let me explain…

The shadow side is kind of obvious. When you don’t have enough money, you’re in scarcity, and if you’re not careful, your prospective client feels that energy. This just leads them to go running in the opposite direction and say no to buying from you.

They don’t know why but they just don’t want to buy from someone who’s desperate. Something’s off about you…

So then how could this possibly have a positive side?

Well, when you’re desperate, if you’re able to contain or eliminate your scarcity thinking, you will go harder than you’ve ever gone before. You’ll stretch yourself BEYOND your current capacity and grow to a totally different level.

This stretching, beyond what normally stops you, is definitely what I had to master when I was making my leap from low 6-figures to the 7-figure business.

But it’s not comfortable at all.

Yet, it’s the way the 7-figure entrepreneur thinks and acts, lives and breathes.

I knew I had it in me but I had to move past some significantly huge blocks to actually become that kind of entrepreneur.

This was much harder than just figuring out a marketing funnel or how to hire well, though those things are important. 

It was about completely rewiring my thinking and beliefs about who I was and what I was capable of doing. And this is true whether you’re going for 7-figures or multiple 7-figures.

Once I mastered this methodology for success, well, the sky was the limit both in my life and my business. Never looked back. :)

I’d love to teach you how to master this as well, because there’s a methodology to it that if you get… you can repeat over and over again until you get to break free from limits on the income and impact, and are able to live from your “sky’s the limit” place as well. (Read = no limits on the income, impact, or life you can create.)

Freedom is an inside job

Before I successfully built a 7-figure business, I wanted to be free from a LOT of things— financial constraints, toxic relationships, working long hours…the list went on! 

I was so stuck in the idea that these limitations were all external and this led to overwhelm, stress, and ultimately, burn out. I was constantly trying to “fix” all these external things. It was like a constant game of “whack-a-mole.”

So, this made me think “What does it take to actually achieve freedom?” 

Let’s start by defining freedom. Being free could look like choosing your own hours, making your own decisions about who you want to work with, or even buying anything you want without scrimping or a second thought.

It could mean being completely unrestricted when it comes to how you spend your free time or where you choose to live.

It could look like doing whatever you want with whomever you want in this one life of yours.

The limits you’re seeing and feeling may seem external but here’s the thing— freedom is an inside job. Most of the time, these constraints are the symptoms of not being free on the inside. 

To achieve freedom, you have to start owning your authority. Really embodying it as a lived experience. This requires a whole different set of beliefs than what most people were brought up with. You have to critically examine your core beliefs about yourself and how the world works. You have to get to the base of it… cut off your blocks to freedom at their root… and get to the cause of why you’re living from a place of limitation rather than freedom. 

Then, once you discover where the issues stem from, you have to actually implement change… and start taking action.

The good news is you don’t have to do all of this alone. 

This is exactly what we do at the Spirit of Wealth, a program where I help leaders, those high-performing women who absolutely know they were made for more, hit both their revenue goals and live a freaking beautiful life… one that is totally FREE!

Being the boss doesn’t make you an authority, so what does?

By Amira Alvarez Is your idea of authority rooted in hierarchy, power dynamics, or office politics? It’s time to change that.  Yes, authority is power but it’s not hierarchical.

Is your idea of authority rooted in hierarchy, power dynamics, or office politics? It’s time to change that. 

Yes, authority is power but it’s not hierarchical. It’s not about being above someone.

Authority is energy. It comes from within. It doesn’t take a mic, a stage, or a particular way of speaking. Authority can come in the form of quiet power instead of control and dominance. 

Now, your authority doesn’t look like mine nor anybody else’s. 

Let’s say you’re about to negotiate a deal and you take on the persona of your role model to feel more confident. It’s not wrong to be inspired but when you try to be somebody else, you lose the clear transmission of your full and truthful essence. When you lose your essence, you lose your power. You become disconnected from your true self and your true desires, and without that connection, you can’t achieve the success and fulfillment that you want.

Do you— the best version of you. Don’t try to imitate someone else. When you step into your authority, your actions will be more meaningful and impactful. Once you embody your authority, it emanates from every cell of your body. Own your authority and good things will follow.

Only when you learn to embrace, own, and embody it, can you walk into any room, talk to anyone you want, and get what you want from them. 

P.S. What does authority mean to you? I’d love to know!

Becoming UNSTOPPABLE in life and business calls for owning your AUTHORITY. 

As part of our mission to help high-achieving women claim, and quite frankly create their “MORE” out of life, last week we held a retreat for the women in our Spirit of Wealth Mastermind and it was nothing short of phenomenal!  

I had the honor to work with women who unabashedly want everything (wealth, healthy relationships, work-life balance, and more!)

But like most high-performing women, even with a can-do attitude, at times it seems impossible.

How do we actually create all that we desire?

One of the biggest keys is to own your authority.

Because not only does MONEY follow authority but so does TEAM, IMPACT, INFLUENCE, OUTREACH, LOVE, and so much more… 

Over the course of 3 days, we dove deep into this concept… the breakthroughs were many, the connection was palpable, and the evolution of owning one’s authority was visibly recognizable in all the women.

Want to unlock the power of owning your authority?

Here is one EXCLUSIVE lesson from the Spirit of Wealth retreat. 

Stop getting stuck in the story

“I don’t have time.”
“I don’t deserve this.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“They’re going to find out I’m not as smart as they think I am.”

These are just a few of the stories that creep in when we’re going for more. 

Left unattended, they can sabotage your progress.

In order to avoid that, it takes awareness and I’m not talking about just knowing that the thought exists. You have to dive deeper and ask yourself—  What’s the good in this thought?

For instance, if you keep thinking that you never have enough time, the good thing in this is a recognition that it’s FREEDOM that you desire. 

When you see this and OWN this, you step into your authority. You’re not trying to be someone you’re not. You’re owning your TRUTH.

Then you have to live it… actually give yourself the freedom that you desire. When you do that, you become the author of your own life and you build up and strengthen your creative life force.

As this grows, your ability to create (in all areas of your life) grows. 

What were your takeaways from this recap? I’d love to hear from you so don’t hesitate to email us with your thoughts!
