  If you have a healing business,
• 0:05
  your willingness to evolve is a huge part of what makes your business
• 0:10
  successful.

  Hello and welcome back to Remember Why You're Here,
• 0:24
  a podcast for seekers and sensitives where you can relax, receive,
• 0:27
  reconnect yourself, and remember that most important thing of all,
• 0:31
  why you're here. In today's episode,
• 0:37
  I actually wanted to revisit,
• 0:38
  I think this might be the most popular thing I ever posted on
• 0:43
  YouTube, this video called Three Tips to Start Your Healing Business.
• 0:48
  And I specifically wanted to revisit it because I'm in a very
• 0:53
  transitional phase right now with my business.
• 0:56
  I am leaving some models or ways of being
• 1:01
  behind. I'm embracing new ones.
• 1:03
  I am working specifically right now on an offering
• 1:08
  that will mean stepping back into one-on-one work. And oh my gosh,
• 1:12
  people have been asking me to do one-on-work now again for years.
• 1:16
  And so I know there are going to be folks who are really excited about this.
• 1:19
  And I was curious because I haven't done one-on-one work since my
• 1:24
  daughter was born. Since before my daughter was born,
• 1:27
  I transitioned out of that and into just a different phase of my life and my
• 1:30
  work, but I've really gotten a strong message to step back into that work.
• 1:35
  So I'll be sharing more about that in a couple weeks.
• 1:37
  But I was curious to go back when I was at the height of
• 1:42
  doing so much of my one-on-one work. I was doing herbal consultations,
• 1:46
  I was doing intuitive readings,
• 1:48
  I was doing business consultations called Vibrant Livelihoods Consultations.
• 1:53
  And I was curious to see at that point in time by evolution,
• 1:58
  what were these three tips that I talked about?
• 2:00
  So I re-listened to this and it really felt like a transmission
• 2:05
  from my younger self. I was like, thank you, younger self.
• 2:07
  I really needed to remember these three tips as I start making
• 2:12
  some moves to step back into a one-on-one offering.
• 2:17
  And I will be announcing that later this month or early next month.
• 2:21
  So stay tuned for that. But in the meantime, I'm like, okay, Asia,
• 2:26
  Asia of the past, you knew what you were talking about.
• 2:28
  And I see why this video has whatever it has,
• 2:31
  like 50,000 views on YouTube.
• 2:34
  So if you are someone who has a healing business or
• 2:39
  wants to start a healing business,
• 2:42
  these are the three tips that I was using when I was doing
• 2:47
  one-on-one work. I also had my apothecary, I was also teaching.
• 2:51
  So this applies to really any kind of healing business where you are
• 2:56
  working intimately with people. And it was really healing.
• 3:00
  It felt like a bit of a soul retrieval, to be honest with you,
• 3:03
  for me to listen to this, which is right on theme with us this month,
• 3:07
  as I talked about in the August intuitive reading for this month.
• 3:09
  This a month of kind of spontaneous soul retrievals and soul reunions and me
• 3:14
  reconnecting with this little bit younger self.
• 3:18
  I forget when I filmed this, maybe it was eight years ago, something like that.
• 3:23
  And realizing how much she knew felt like a soul retrieval.
• 3:27
  So I'm bringing her in as I am really envisioning this new era for me.
• 3:31
  So without further ado,
• 3:33
  let's step into these three tips to start your healing business.
• 3:38
  One offering in my consultation practice is a vibrant livelihoods consultation,
• 3:43
  which is basically sitting with other people who are looking to start a healing
• 3:48
  business and helping them to navigate how to get started,
• 3:52
  what tips or tools you might need along the way.
• 3:55
  It's been really cool to work with so many different new business owners.
• 4:00
  And I've noticed along the way some common patterns and common questions.
• 4:05
  And these are my three unconventional tips for starting a healing business.
• 4:11
  Number one is teach or offer what you want to learn.
• 4:16
  So this is pretty unconventional because most of the time you're going to hear
• 4:20
  teach or write about what you know.
• 4:22
  But what I've found to be true is that my most vivid and exciting
• 4:27
  material comes from teaching or offering something.
• 4:30
  I am deeply passionate about learning. Our learning,
• 4:35
  our desires,
• 4:36
  our curiosity are really leading us always towards the leading edge of our path.
• 4:41
  And I often find that the stuff that I've been teaching or working with for
• 4:45
  years starts to lose some of its vim and vigor over time.
• 4:50
  The way in which I develop my teaching schedule is totally based
• 4:55
  on what I'm looking to explore for myself at this time.
• 4:59
  What feels most exciting for me, what's really invoking my curiosity.
• 5:04
  So this isn't to say that I go into teaching something completely unprepared,
• 5:09
  but it is to say that I put something on the schedule knowing that I will have X
• 5:13
  amount of months or sometimes even years to delve into this topic.
• 5:17
  And what it really does is it sets up a regime for me to go deeply into
• 5:22
  learning about this.
• 5:24
  And ultimately when I am then presenting this offer, this class,
• 5:29
  I am so fully in the motion of it and I'm so fully in my passion.
• 5:33
  People can really feel that.
• 5:35
  And it does a lot to bring others into that passionate moment of exploring
• 5:40
  what is really at the cutting edge of your interest.
• 5:44
  Number two is give 50%.
• 5:48
  So some of you are probably going like, "What now?
• 5:50
  That sounds crazy." Because we hear so often on all the motivational posters,
• 5:55
  give 100%.
• 5:57
  I'm not saying to not give your all to your healing business,
• 6:01
  but what I've found is it's actually really important to give
• 6:05
  50%, to have your heart and soul going into building your business,
• 6:10
  of course,
• 6:10
  but also to have things that have nothing to do with your business going on in
• 6:14
  your life, personal pursuits, interests, curiosities.
• 6:18
  And this includes downtime,
• 6:20
  having time for deep self-care and nourishment.
• 6:24
  Your business will dry out without this time of taking moments to
• 6:28
  refill the well. So when I say give 50%, I'm being a little bit cheeky here,
• 6:33
  but what I'm really talking about is this work-life balance. It's so important.
• 6:38
  And really reserving some things for just yourself.
• 6:41
  Because if every single thing in your life is always feeding directly into your
• 6:45
  business, it's going to start feeling like business is your life.
• 6:49
  And unless you're super passionate about being an entrepreneur,
• 6:53
  that's going to get you tired after a while.
• 6:55
  So reserving some things just for you and taking time for self-care,
• 6:59
  so important.
• 7:00
  It's also important to give 50% when you're teaching or in
• 7:05
  consultation work. So hear me out here.
• 7:08
  One thing that I see as a common pitfall,
• 7:11
  especially people who are really empathic or bighearted, is over-giving.
• 7:16
  Maybe giving too much information, too many protocols,
• 7:21
  being too available to jump right in with the answer.
• 7:25
  When we give quote unquote 50%,
• 7:28
  what we're really doing is leaving space for the student or the client to meet
• 7:33
  us. In any healing practice,
• 7:37
  you need to have two parties. Any healing is about relationship,
• 7:42
  right?
• 7:42
  So it's both you as a practitioner or a teacher and the person who's
• 7:47
  coming in for healing.
• 7:49
  You need to leave them space to actually take ownership of their healing.
• 7:53
  And if you jump right in with every answer or every ability to do everything for
• 7:58
  them, they're not going to have that space to come in and really own that.
• 8:01
  So sometimes it's good to sit back and really allow them to come up with the
• 8:06
  answer,
• 8:06
  allow them to try figuring out that protocol of medicine making or whatever it
• 8:11
  is. So again, this is kind of a funny way to say it, but really ask yourself,
• 8:16
  am I leaving this 50% space for myself and my journey and also for the
• 8:21
  journey of those that I'm working with?
• 8:24
  This leads us directly into the third point,
• 8:27
  which is get out of the way. Okay,
• 8:31
  so I'm not saying to check out at all. And in fact,
• 8:34
  when I'm working with people or I'm teaching, I am so fully there.
• 8:38
  I often forget about everything else going on in my life.
• 8:42
  But every time before I teach or I sit down in consultation,
• 8:46
  I prepare by asking to be a vessel.
• 8:51
  Ultimately,
• 8:53
  the healing that I'm channeling or the wisdom or the knowing that I'm channeling
• 8:57
  is coming in from a wider source.
• 8:59
  Whether you think of that as you are unconscious, your wider self,
• 9:03
  or a personal divine that you're connected into,
• 9:06
  ultimately you are channeling and bringing in this information and this
• 9:11
  healing for others.
• 9:12
  So one thing that I like to repeat as a mantra to myself before I see a client
• 9:17
  is I'm a hollow bone. I am a hollow bone.
• 9:21
  I'm a hollow bone.
• 9:23
  And really what this is doing is taking your ego out of the equation.
• 9:27
  This is particularly helpful because it helps you to start letting go of
• 9:31
  expectations that this session will go a particular way,
• 9:35
  that you'll have particular insight to give,
• 9:38
  because ultimately we never know how a session is going to go or a class is
• 9:42
  going to go. But what we can do is get our conscious mind, our ego,
• 9:47
  our attachment to things out of the way and just be a channel for all that
• 9:51
  goodness to come through. And ultimately to me,
• 9:55
  this feels so healing and supportive to know that it's not just me and my little
• 10:00
  mind and my rational ability to figure everything out,
• 10:03
  that there is a greater force at work here,
• 10:06
  and I am open to just being a part of it.
• 10:11
  I'm so curious, how did those tips land with you?
• 10:15
  What was your aha moment?
• 10:18
  Is there any of these tips that were new or different from you?
• 10:22
  I will say that when I posted this,
• 10:26
  I looked back at the comments of which I think there are hundreds,
• 10:31
  but I looked back at the comments and one of the biggest ones that came up again
• 10:34
  and again is the give 50%. People really resonated with that.
• 10:39
  And I will say when that came to me,
• 10:43
  that was a missing piece for me. I really needed to hear that.
• 10:46
  And I honestly really needed to hear that again as I am stepping
• 10:51
  into this new iteration of my own healing business.
• 10:54
  And this is just one of these things about life and about your
• 10:59
  work and about your business is the longer you're at it,
• 11:02
  the more you will notice that you go through these different phases of
• 11:06
  evolution. You're never static. You never stay the same.
• 11:09
  So this is my 14th year of being in business.
• 11:13
  And so I'm really witnessing myself now enter
• 11:18
  a new era, take a leap into a new era of being,
• 11:23
  of sharing, of what platforms I'm on,
• 11:25
  of the kind of things I want to talk about,
• 11:28
  the layers of myself that I want to share that maybe I wasn't ready to share
• 11:33
  before. And I just think it's one of the coolest things of existence,
• 11:36
  to be totally honest with you, that we continue to evolve in this way.
• 11:40
  And if you have a healing business,
• 11:43
  your willingness to evolve out loud in this way is a huge part
• 11:48
  of what makes your business successful.
• 11:51
  So if part of what you are working on in this
• 11:56
  year of what you're building this month is a business,
• 11:59
  I hope these tips were helpful. I would love to hear about what landed for you.
• 12:04
  You could head over to the Substack, my Substack, remember why you're here,
• 12:08
  and leave a message.
• 12:09
  Or you could leave me a message over on my website or you could leave me a voice
• 12:12
  note over at asiasolar.com/remember.

• 12:24
  really a part of one soul collective here to help each other,
• 12:28
  here to support each other in growth.
• 12:31
  And hearing from y'all about what lands for you just really helps orient me
• 12:36

  why you're here.
