What does it mean to reinvent yourself?

Especially if you kind of like yourself… a lot…already?

Do you have to burn it all down and like the Phoenix, rise up again from the ashes?

Or is there another way to call forth the next iteration of you, your life, and your business? 

To be honest, I’m constantly assessing and calling forth more. That’s what I live and breathe. Change is something I’m used to and crave. I’m certainly not afraid of change. You too?

But there are times when what needs to come forward feels bigger than the regular iteration of personal and business growth. It feels closer to a tectonic shift.

A shift that’s ready to rock you to your core. And you can FEEL it.

There are days, even months, when you try to look away and ignore it, and go on like business as usual. 

Because quite frankly it feels like a lot to manage. It would be so much easier to pretend you didn’t feel the call.

But when the call is made, the call is made. 

When your soul will no longer be ignored… there will be a rebirth. That’s for sure!

This is what I’ve been going through… for months… and months.

It’s been both frustrating and delightful.

The frustration has come because…

  • I’ve simply wanted to know the answer, even before I was truly prepared to receive it. Granted, patience has always been a challenge for me. But when it takes months upon months of leaning in… I was definitely tested. A lot of meditation helps. 
  • I’ve wanted to know the answer before I’ve walked the path. This is classic. Wanting to have certainty before taking action. There’s no such thing. You have to become more to have more. You must walk the path. F&*k!!!!
  • I wanted it to be easier BUT I was totally resisting. I was not listening to my Team. I was not listening to myself. And I was not listening to my SOUL. Ouch! But that’s the truth. Got to admit it. The “ego me” had her heels dug in resisting the call, denying the ease that was right there for me if I just said YES.

On the delightful front… 

  • I’ve said YES. This feels so good. I’ve handed over the reins of implementation to my über competent Team, which of course includes my soul 😉, and stepped into open-hearted trust.  The adventure begins!
  • I picked the theme Phoenix Rising for the upcoming Spirit of Wealth retreat months ago… long before I recognized that I myself was in a full rebirth journey. 🤪 How beautiful and delightful is that? I love it when things just work out.
  • I’ve gone from frustrated to excited. Game on for the next level of manifestation. 

But to go back to the beginning of this missive and answer the questions… What does it mean to reinvent yourself? Do you have to burn it all down and like the Phoenix, rise up again from the ashes?

What I’ve learned in this journey is that no… it doesn’t mean that you have to burn it ALL down. But YES there will be aspects of who you are and what you’re doing that you will need to let go of. 

This is the Law of Sacrifice… you must let go of something of a lower nature to let in something of a higher nature.

Including, often, what you find near and dear, whether in business or in life.

The bigger the sacrifice the scarier it will be… until you LEAP! 

I’ve lept. Will you?

Is there something that you feel needs to dramatically change in your life or business? 

Are you primed for reinvention but the clarity hasn’t come into focus?

With a little more clarity, would you have the hutzpah to leap?

Yes? 

Then join us at Phoenix Rising where I walk you through… 

How to let go of what needs to be released…

How to become more of WHO you are to receive more of WHAT you want, and…

How to create an expanded version of an already great life and business.

I’ll share both my Phoenix Rising process with you, my personal journey AND the outcome of it. 

It will be a surprise that won’t surprise you…. Because everything one steps into is actually the obvious next step.

What will it be for you?

The Secret to Getting What You Want

Have you ever written a manifestation list?

Where you just let it rip and write it all down? 

It feels sooooo good… especially if you don’t censor or edit.

In fact, that defeats the purpose.

The whole idea is to fully express everything that you want without holding back.

You start and you don’t stop until you can’t think of anything else you want. Not one thing is left off your list.

The Manifestation List is the first step in actualizing your truth, your fully actualized exquisite life. Not the ‘almost amazing’ life. But the one that’s truly divine. The one that you know you were put here to live.

I did this again recently and I wrote out over 4 pages of desires! 

The desires just kept coming. 

Some of them were small, some of them large.
Some of them were material things, some of them feelings or experiences.
Some of them were desires that were only vaguely conscious previously, some of them completely unknown until they came onto the page and surprised me.

I’m not afraid of desire. 

Whether I’m desiring something for my business or about love, relationships, the esoteric, etc… 

I don’t get spun out thinking… I couldn’t possibly have that. 

I don’t worry… What if it doesn’t happen? Will I be crushed by the disappointment?

I don’t think… I don’t see the way to that, it must not be here for me.

I don’t ask myself… Is it wrong to desire more?

And most of all…

I don’t say… I’m not worthy of it.

I just claim what I want. 

I’ve been doing this for years, for both the business and the personal life. 

And it works to create what you desire with so much ease and grace. 

By no means is it the end of the manifestation process. There’s so much more to creating an exquisite life than just a list. 

But this list? 

It’s a powerful beginning.

After that there are many additional steps I take. More on that soon enough… 

But for today… Will you do this first step? Will you join me in just letting your desires run free?

Are you willing to give this a shot? 

Sit down, pen to paper, and simply start writing.

Don’t censor. Don’t edit. Don’t go down the brainstorming rabbit hole.

Simply write.

It’s an act of self-love.

If you meditate, you could start with that. Even just a couple of minutes to come back into connection with your true self and Source works. Take a few presenting breaths and reconnect to your body and this present moment.

Then start writing.

What do you want? 

Remember: Desire is Causative. Let it lead the way.

Mastering Life and Business: Unveiling the Secrets of the Extraordinary

One of the principles I’ve learned while manifesting a really magnificent business and life is that Desire is Causative. 

It’s the cause or driver, the motivation for creating everything, including a truly expansive, extraordinary life.

This is the life that we know we were made for but (perhaps) haven’t yet lived to our fullest potential. 

One thing that blocks people from their greatness and living extraordinary is not understanding what a TRUE desire is.

This was true for me at one point in my life.

I had to decondition myself and teach myself what a true desire really was.

I had to overcome all the conditioning that had me suppressing what I wanted in favor of pleasing others.

I found that I was putting my desires on hold in favor of other people’s needs, even if they didn’t actually express them. 

I was so conditioned to fear letting other people down, that no one had to tell me to put them first anymore… it just became the voice in my head, driving me.

I lovingly call that voice “The Task Master.” (Do you have one too?)

Although I have great admiration for my will and work ethic, her shadow side is a suppression of my true wants and desires.

Sometimes to the point of ridiculousness… for example… 

I remember one day when I was working on something for a client and REALLY had to go to the bathroom, but kept putting it off until I finished what I was working on. 

Then it became just one more thing I had to do, then another and another. 

Everything else, for everyone else, was urgent. 

My own desires… even such a simple bodily desire as wanting to go to the bathroom took second place.

Now discipline is one thing, but I woke up at that moment realizing that this was the epitome of how I kept putting off my true desires for something else. 

So much so that I didn’t even know what I truly wanted.

#FacePalm!!! 

This was the path to being a good little worker bee but not the way to extraordinary success.

I had to recondition myself so I could actually tap into what I wanted. 

This started with asking myself simple questions, Did I really want a glass of lemonade or a nap? Did I have a response for this initiative in my business or was it just what that “marketing guru” said was hot at the moment?  

It started small, with a step-by-step deconditioning of jumping to meet other people’s needs (read: the demands of your business, your clients, your Team, your family, and yes, even your dog) in order to know what I truly wanted and follow that.

I had to tune into these small desires to really start to claim the bigger ones.

The result? 

I was willing and able to claim a goal of making $1 million dollars in a year. 

This was way beyond any desire I had previously held. But it was a TRUE DESIRE.

And I knew it to be true based on how it felt, which I had learned to tap into through all my deconditioning and practice.

I trusted it and could move forward with faith and belief.

Not only did that lead to a much larger income, but paved the way to so much more that I had no idea was possible for me but at some level wanted. Like… 

A lit-up sex life, an epic love, stepping into my authority, claiming my beauty, and last but not least…

A life lived with PURPOSE.

More on that next week.

Until then, a really powerful couple of questions to ask yourself are: What do you really want? And what’s getting in your way?

Love and business–it isn’t greedy to want both

By Amira Alvarez I was just thinking about the flow of my day. I’m pretty darn grateful for how smooth and spacious things are of late.  Coffee in bed with my ember mug. (Do you have one??? They are AMAZING. I have 3. One for me, one for my man, and one because…

I was just thinking about the flow of my day. I’m pretty darn grateful for how smooth and spacious things are of late. 

Coffee in bed with my ember mug. (Do you have one??? They are AMAZING. I have 3. One for me, one for my man, and one because I had to have it rose gold. So yes, that’s two for me. )

A short meeting with two brilliant women to discuss our upcoming rebrand. (So excited.)

An impromptu Ops call with Ariana aka “the rockstar glue that holds it all together” for us behind the scenes.

A call with my honey in the middle of day to discuss life, love, and the sexy topic of currency insurance. (Turns out you need this when you’re taking 10 women to Paris and Venice in the Fall of 2024, for an epic 7 day experience.*) 

Plus a slice of GF chocolate cake while sitting outside to write this newsletter. (‘Cause I’m done with dieting. More on that in another post.)

But there can always be more spaciousness. More ease. More flow. More good.

This isn’t about not being appreciative or grateful.

This isn’t about being greedy.

This is how desire works. It’s always calling us into more of what’s required to unlock the next chapter of our lives. 

For me, right now, this is about a real desire to spend more time with my man. Not just in the evenings but in the middle of the day, for long lunches, for epic trips. 

I know in my core that this will not only be good for me and our relationship, but also for the business. Yet…

My business is so NOT set up for this right now. #Truth

I thought I had gotten out of the way and set it up to run without me. I go out of town and it runs smoothly. Love that and am totally grateful for that.

But when I’m back… I’m still too much of the bottleneck, with all the decisions running through me. Do you relate?

I’ve known this for awhile, but I didn’t have leverage over myself to change. I didn’t have something I wanted MORE than being needed in my business.

Now I do. 

And the result of this bigger desire calling me forward? 

A clear new vision for the business. <= See THIS needed to change so I could accommodate the desire of how I want to live and breathe with my man.

This is what I mean by ‘Desire is Causative’.

If you want what you want badly enough you will grow. You will make the changes that are required. But not before then. 

I’ve been toying with a new business model for months, even years yet I didn’t have the true motivation to make that happen. Now I do.

I learned this a long time ago when I was first starting out on my journey. This is why DESIRE is the first step in The Manifestation Matrix. But it has to be a TRUE desire.

I’ve lived this process again and again. (It’s so much FUN!) Each time a true desire calls me forward into more, it moves me beyond the status quo of a good life and a good business. So if you’re asking ‘Is this all there is?” the answer is yes. Emphatically yes.

In my next post, I’ll share more about true desires and how I tapped into my true desire for an epic love. 

*Want to spend time diving into your true desires, what it means to be truly wealthy, and the art of integrating the feminine into business? Ping me. There are only 4 spots left. Because this is such an intimate experience, we will need to talk to make sure there’s alignment.

Unleashing the Power of the Open-Heart Selling Technique

It may seem, at least on the surface, that you need to keep an emotional distance when having a sales conversation with a prospective client.

I get it… you probably have ideas about what’s appropriate and what’s not appropriate to say, the correct professional distance and attitude, and how deep you can really go with someone you’ve just met.

But more often than not, keeping an emotional distance is about NOT wanting to share the truth of who you are, because god forbid they say no. That would be a rejection of YOU.

But have you ever heard the expression “people do business with people they know, like, and trust”?

It’s 100% true.

If you keep your personality and true self buttoned up and tucked away out of sight, you might get to protect your ego if they say no but no one gets to truly know you. 

And if they don’t know you, they can’t like you much less trust you.

Not only does this make selling high-ticket services really challenging, but it makes sales feel transactional. (Most of us hate that and want to avoid being that kind of salesperson. And as the Founder/Owner/CEO/Principal, you need to be the best salesperson on your Team so this means learning how to be connected not defended on a sales call.)

To work this differently, you must share the truth of who you are.

I call this selling with an open-heart. 

And no, it doesn’t mean leaving your heart on your sleeve and running your mouth about all your problems. (Please avoid this.)

What it does mean is opening your heart and relating person-to-person, human-to-human…

It means asking good questions, deep questions, and staying OPEN to the answer.

Then listening without judgment. Without interrupting. Without running away from their pain. 

See… the only reason people buy is that they have a problem that they think you can solve. That problem is causing them pain. 

If you stay on the surface and go transactional…

If you run away from the deeper questions…

If you avoid their pain (or your own discomfort in having a truly honest conversation)…

You’ll never get to their true problem which is what they’ll pay anything to solve.

Instead, when you are able to clear your own energy and show up in conversation without feeling like you have to hide a part of you…

When you can truly own your authority and who you are…

You can hold space for whatever comes up. You don’t have to be afraid of their problems… or the emotions connected to these problems.

Whether you’re selling accounting services to a CFO, legal services to a couple going through a divorce, or consulting services to a foundation, opening up and listening will reveal what they’d pay anything to solve.

Even if you’re selling your accounting services to the CFO of that tech company…

Even if you’re selling your legal services to a couple going through a divorce…

Even if you’re selling your consulting services to that foundation…

If you never open up and listen, you’ll never know what they would pay anything to solve.

But when you open up and stop being afraid of their pain or of being rejected, they will tell you.

Once you know this, then the next step is to honestly assess if your service solves their problem. Yes? Then, and only then, you can walk them through the tactical aspects of working with you. 

When you open up and put more heart into your sales approach, the tactical side becomes easier, it eliminates discomfort, and it multiplies your success. 

Creating this balance between the inner and the outer game of business is what I help female entrepreneurs within the Spirit of Wealth program.

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.
