Profit First or Prophet First?

April 6, 2017

 

 

I was recently introduced to a book called Profit First.ย  It addresses the never ending financial loop many of us get in when working for ourselves.ย  And it offers a clear and direct step by step solution to change that so that we can quit robbing Peter to pay Paul and begin to profit first.ย  ย 

If you find yourself in the trap of earning and then wondering where it all went, or having to slow down, and watching the income drop — before you go and buy the book…let me share a bit more. ย 

As I read the book, I felt both the truth and the shame of having plenty of revenue–and wondering where is the profit?!?ย  Where is the ease that all of this income was supposed to create?!?

And even though I went into the shame, blame and guilt that sometimes money and often my impending tax bill bring….. and even though I am making frequent tiny steps to re work my business for a profit – and even thought that book has a super good practical strategy for moving forward —

I hear the Divine step in. ย 

“Me First.” She said. ย “Yes, I see your desire and your money struggle..and yes this is a super skilled plan, and you can do it….and ME FIRST.”

Slow the EFF down, yall. ย Check in to the Divine within…to your Inner Whisper and Divine Business Manager.ย  Listen to your Inner Council BEFORE you listen to the systems and ways of the world. ย  ย In no way am I saying NOT to follow a good strategic plan, or take wise advice, or just manifest it, vs do the work. ย 

I am saying….. Prophet First.

The Divine Prophet and wisdom that lives in you wants to call you to communion and sovreignty first.

  • The Divine Prophet in you wants to give you peace to take with you on the journey. ย 
  • The Divine Prophet wants to remind you that there is no “once-and-for-all” solution. ย 
  • The Divine Prophet wants to ask for Divine Wisdom and support. ย 
  • The Divine Prophet is there to hold your hand during the uncomfortable changes you can make. ย 
  • The Divine Prophet asks you to seek Truth and then to carry that truth forward with you as you begin the work of solving problems.
  • The Divine Prophet want’s to let you know that delusion is not a fix…and that she will be your wise and helpful guide in all the tiny daily moments, in your heart, your mind, and in your bank accounts.

    Check in now: what specific message does your Inner Divine Prohet say specifically for YOU and YOUR situation?

ย โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

And then..when you have that connection and wisdom…. start taking the course correcting steps. ย 

ย 

I love you.ย  I see you.ย  I am the other you. You are not alone on this journey.ย 

If there is anyway I can support you, let me know.ย  I currently have a few spaces open in my 1:1 roster…and my heart is to always point you back to your own truth, to the truth of your Inner Wise Prophet first. ย 

Love, AC

And thank you Amy Harris for seeing the Prophet in me today.

Rather than labeling them as good or bad, approach them with curiosity. Each emotion is a part of your system trying to communicate something important about your needs. By listening with empathy to these parts, you deepen your understanding of yourself and build emotional intelligence. This practice of compassionate inquiry helps you strengthen your connection to your internal experience and empowers you to respond in a way that aligns with your true Self.

Overthink Much? I have this mental ideal that is Overthink Much?

I have this mental ideal that is embedded in my brain that I would be able to wake up and move forward with all my intentions.  I can see the clear direction and simple steps. I can envision all the "results" and the relief I make up those results would bring. 

One of the things I'm teaching myself to do - is try to write more from a professional voice for you instead of blab in inner processing out on this little white pop-up box. 

How's that working, Alli?

Buahahahah.... all my sweet and striving little parts trying to hold my life closely to that ideal.  I sense the squirm of these parts in my body even when my "thinking" is clear.

I now know this to be a signal for me to slow down and meet those parts with calm and curiosity. First, I must get past one of my sneakiest and most powerful partsโ€”my "awareness" part. This is not Awareness from my core self. 
In IFS - we call these self-like parts. The distinction is that the awareness part carries the burden and tone of "You're doing it wrong."

I asked my clients to notice the part of them that is "mindful and self-aware." What are the words that the voice uses? What is its tone? 

Is it SELF-calm and compassionate, deeply connected? Or is it cognitive and managerial with a motive? 

OOOOF...sending sweet love and compassion to all my thinking, overthinking, and trying-to-get-it-right-for-some-imaginaryideal-parts, and to yours. 

These parts need our somatic connection and attunement. They do not need judgment and alienation. They are scared and holding ages of fear and pain. 

Hello, inner managers, and judgers, and thinkers.  I see you.  I am here for you.  I see your skills.  You have done nothing wrong.  No matter what you feel, you deserve more love, not less.  Let's just breathe together, and then you can share your fears and concerns.  I am here for you.  I will not leave you.
This sweet girl. Only a few taco Tuesdayโ€™s left This sweet girl. Only a few taco Tuesdayโ€™s left before they move across the state.
In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads In the IFS community, we call triggers "trailheads" or say, "This part of me is really activated." Identifying and caring for emotionally reactive parts gives us the opportunity to respond with intention rather than impulsively. By practicing emotional regulation and internal partswork, you can create space between stimulus and response, allowing for more thoughtful and grounded decision-making.

For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and b For me, it was the fear I would disintegrate and be insignificant.  For many, it's attached to conditional love.  IFS coaching helped me in places typical coaching couldn't.  It helped me compassionately understand and connect with these parts - and ya know what? They began to relax, build trust, and step back, leaving space for my natural creativity, grounded confidence, and clarity to lead in my work & life.  This is available to you.  #ifscoaching
