Morgana - “Too Good to be True”

I’m actually very concerned about selling something that sounds too good to be true, and I apologize if my client success stories are giving the impression that this is an easy or automatic process. It’s not.

I could never have predicted the client results I share–the time frame and dollar amounts are entirely outside my control.  All I can do is report and honest and verifiable account of client results, and even those are a small fraction of the success stories that come in daily, most of which you’ll never hear about.

But I really want to address this issue of “too good to be true.”

Too good to be true implies I do the work for you or that I can control your results. I don’t and I can’t.

In fact EVERYTHING I teach and do is designed to put the power and choice and resources in YOUR hands, not mine. Creating dependence on me is NOT success, though it could be a lucrative business model.

I received an interesting text this morning that spurred these thoughts. I’m posting our exchange below, and then some more of my own thoughts to you, reader.

xoxo



Today I received a text message:

I listened to you last night on coast to coast. 
I have been always told that if something sounds too good to be true that it usually is. 
You sound too good to be true but I gonna buy your book!


Here's what I wrote in response:

Thank you. Be skeptical. Never give your power away to me or anybody else. Trust yourself above all else. Go with your gut. 

The intention behind my book is to give you the tools to transform your life, 
practically and magically, but I always want YOU to be in charge of your life and your results. 

My workbook is full of useful tips and tricks to transform your life without it feeling like heavy lifting. 
The Financial Alchemy part (that I was teaching last night) is only the beginning. Use what you like, 
and lose the rest.



And to you, reader:

There is no magic bullet. If what I teach sounds too good to be true, 
it's because a person hasn't done the work yet.

The 6 Steps of Financial Alchemy® are simple, but they're not easy.

You will FIGHT for your transformation. You EARN it. 

If someone says they can do the hard work of your personal 
growth for you, run away!!!

When I coach someone I can take them farther than they can
go themselves, because I know how to make it safe. I know how
to recognize the signs that we're going too far or not
deep enough. But make no mistake: the client is IN the process,
in the experience, and fighting for her life against her
Money Monster demon.

YOU kill your monster. YOU keep your commitments to your
new, personified Money "Honey." (Or Love Honey, or Health Honey, 
or Success Honey, or God Honey... I've seen them all.)

While I know the value I add is substantial, I also never
want to give the impression that I am necessary for 
transformation to happen.  

You may not even need me. 

The materials I've put out there in my book and blog posts may be
all you need. They are designed to make the process easier, but not
easy. It's not supposed to be. What we really want is change that matters
and that lasts.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

The more thought you invest into setting priorities before you begin a task, the faster you will get the important things done. The more important and valuable the task is to you, the more motivated you are to overcome procrastination and launch yourself into the job.

Morgana - Your Wealth is in Your Weirdness

When I first became a life coach I was really concerned about being taken seriously, sounding professional, and not looking like a freak. Not much has changed: I still care about all that stuff. But I discovered over time that the more professional and non-freaky I try to sound, the more INVISIBLE I become. The minute I start to talk like a professional coach and go into one of those elevator speeches I spent so much money to learn (you know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?)… I can see the other person’s EYES GLAZE OVER before they start scanning the room for someone more interesting. I can’t begin to tell you how annoying that is. Then one day, years ago, I stood up at a large networking meeting of high powered female entrepreneurs, pulled out a magic wand and called myself a “witchy” coach, and said something about how “goddesses can be old or young, thin or fat, can do what they want, charge what they want (and Aphrodite sleeps with whomever she wants, and no one dares...
