If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they’ll fly away. But if you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. When you focus on improving yourself, everything you want will come to you. We attract based on who we are, not what we want. We can’t rush genuine connections.
Gone are my days of chasing clients or sending unsolicited DMs. Now, I get to experience these magic moments, the ones that go like this:
🌱 "How can I work with you?"
🌱 "Tell me more about what you offer."
🌱 "Where do I sign up?"
🌱 “Where do I pay you?”
This heart-led approach isn’t new to me. It's how I operated even before the digital age persuaded us to think that relentless pursuit and follow up with leads were the only way.
I've always imagined my business as a cozy boutique by the street. Curious people, lured by its charm can and will step inside. Some feel a connection and choose to stay awhile, while others continue their journey. And that's okay. Each path is perfect in its own way.
My job is to keep my storefront as charming, beautiful and attractive as possible – in what feels like my creative expression, a business that represents who I am. I've always loved making my space a safe and welcoming one. So I know the one who would appreciate it, will come in. Those who stopped by are my kind of people. Taking this essence online has its challenges, however. I'm not going to lie… it means extra layers of patience, extra efforts to stand out in the sea of coaches out there.
But it also means unwavering authenticity. The more I align myself to my inner wisdom, the better I attract people who genuinely love my energy and my content, ultimately becoming my wonderful customers and clients – my biggest fans.
Here's a peek into what I'm working behind the scenes in my garden-in-progress:
🦋 Freebies: Crafting free resources that resonate, knowing they'll guide more kindred spirits to my community and build my email list of people who love and admire my work. I’m not afraid to give my farm away anymore because I know that will attract the right people. The ones who want more support, will pay for my services and products.
🦋 Library: An ever-growing repository of insights about making and manifesting money is now under construction. This space will soon launch into a membership hub, the garden I wish to have! More importantly, it's where anyone can refer to for great resources anytime when they want to and keep them leveling up in life!
🦋 Nurturing Connections: On my social media platforms, I'm all about planting positive vibes and watering them with genuine interactions. It’s the heart of everything I do, especially in motivating and inspiring my audience to take action.The journey of cultivating a thriving online presence mirrors the art of gardening. It's about nurturing the soil of our digital landscape with authenticity, patience, and heart. In doing so, we don't just grow a business or a brand; we cultivate a community. A community where every interaction is like a seed planted, which, with the right care, blossoms into lasting connections. Just as a garden doesn't bloom overnight, a meaningful online space takes time to flourish. But when it does, it becomes a haven for those who share our values and vision.
So, as you reflect upon your own digital garden, remember: the beauty lies in the growth, not just the blooms. Each step you take in nurturing your space is a step towards attracting your tribe – the people who will not only appreciate your offerings but will also resonate with the core of who you are.
Let's keep tending to our gardens with love, knowing that the right butterflies – our ideal clients and connections – are on their way, drawn irresistibly by the authenticity and passion that bloom from our hearts and every corner of our online garden.
