This is a momentous moment.
I feel it so deeply. Right down to the marrow in my bones. Celebration, gratitude, awe, happiness, magicβall of it.
I almost can’t believe it, but at the same time, I really can. After all, I worked for this. For 20 months before this moment, I worked for this.
And I finally did it: I manifested my first $5K month!
[$5K cash in the bank, not projected sales].
Wow. The iconic $5,000 month.
The money goal that every new or struggling entrepreneur seems to strive for. The kind of money goal that makes financial freedom feel attainable. The kind of money goal that blesses you with the ability to do what you want when you want [which is what we’re all after on some level, right?].
It’s finally here.
Even beyond the money, [because really, the money is just a reflection of something so much deeper] I’m celebrating who I’ve had to step into in order to manifest my first $5K month and how much of an impact I’ve made in the lives of my people.
Zig Ziglar said it best:
“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”
I wouldn’t be here right now unless I wasn’t willing to do the inner work, nor would I have manifested my first $5K month if I weren’t making a tremendous impact on the lives of others.
It’s interesting to think about this, but actually, the very thing that kept the money out of my life before was my sole focus on the money.
So what changed? How did I manifest my first $5K month?
π I stopped focusing on the money and instead, focused on the person in front of me.
Before every free coaching session or sales call, I started to ask myself: How can I serve this person so deeply that they will never forget our conversation? How can I shift this person’s world view so much that it will change the trajectory of their life forever?
I stopped focusing on what I could get and instead, I focused on what I could give.
Instead of asking, how can I manifest my first $5K month? I asked, how can I give away $5K worth of value?
It’s like a boomerang. Whatever you put out will come back.
π I chose to simplify.
All around us, there’s noise. Both within and without. The noise of our own minds chattering back and forth. The noise from the latest guru with her quick fix course or marketing tactic. There is so much noise.
And so what I’ve done, for the sake of my sanity and my business, is tune it out.
What I’ve done is tune into my higher wisdom.
Now, I only do what feels really good to me and nothing else.
I truly believe that we can all be successful by doing more of what lights us up and what makes our hearts sing. It doesn’t have to be sales funnels, numbers, challenges, or Facebook ads if those things don’t feel good to you.
For me, it’s about deep connection, 1:1 value, and building real relationships. Once I owned this and infused these values into my business at every touch point, selling felt more fun and I manifested my first $5K month.
π I narrowed my focus.
Instead of trying to do all the marketing strategies at once, I put my energy behind one intention.
No more creating products, writing a book, or trying to land speaking gigs. Just coaching. LOTS of free coaching.
As a result, I gave my subconscious mind a break. All of my creative energy was channeled into one marketing strategy, which is allowing me to fill my coaching practice quickly.
Before you go making me into another guru, let me be clear that what I’m sharing here is not meant to become your TRUTH on how to manifest your first $5K month. This has been my truth, but for youβit may not be.
And that’s okay. The point of this article is to show you that the road to success looks different for everyone and some of the points I’ve made may resonate, while others may not.
What I hope you take away is that you can manifest your first $5K month by tuning in, listening to your heart, and experimenting in your own way.
You have everything within you to be as successful as you want to be.
And this is exactly what I tell my clients.
Sure, I could tell them what to do, but it’s so much more powerful [and healing] when I can pull from them the strategies that resonate and are right for them.
Sometimes they may need a little push outside of their comfort zone, but in the end, the answers always come from them and from the depths of who they are and what they want.
As entrepreneurs, we leave behind the shackles of working for someone else because we want to do things our way, so don’t forget to do things your way.
Show up. Do the work. Heal. Lead with your heart. Simplify. And love the world deeply.
It will all come back to you in more ways than you could ever know β‘
With love & celebration,
-Kayla
