How Celebrities can use Sacred Money Archetypes® to make more money

I recently had the opportunity to interview an incredible group of Celebrity entrepreneurs and alumni in my Sacred Money Archetypes® course. In this fascinating roundtable, we talked about the strengths and challenges these entrepreneurs experience as Celebrities and how they have learned to use their Money Archetype in their business. 

Here's a summary of our discussion and please read the individual member's case studies and course reviews to find out more.

How did it feel when you found out you were a Celebrity? 

Heather Lambert
(Click here to read Heather's full review)

I was very surprised by my celebrity. I was like, "This is wrong." And I think I took it again to make sure. And sometimes your archetypes can shift and change over time. Mine has always been a very, very strong celebrity first, no doubt whatsoever. And even romantic and ruler, very strong top three. But it really surprised me at first, because I was always told growing up that I was shy. I was shy, I didn't make friends easily. I was just a shy girl. My mom tells stories all the time about hiding behind her leg. And they had to pay me a dollar to do a cartwheel at cheerleading tryouts when I was seven, because I wouldn't do anything until they paid me a dollar. And so that was the story and my identity growing up forever. I was shy.

And then I found teaching and I became a teacher and I was alive when I was teaching. I felt the energy and that flow and I would get excited when I was teaching and whether it was in the classroom. And then as I started my business, I started teaching my team and at conferences and workshops full of people and I loved it, that energy. So when I really started thinking about that celebrity and really learning about it through the course, I went, "Oh yeah, that is me." I do like to be the center of attention. I do like to be in the spotlight. I love to share with people the information that I know to help them and make them happy and excited. I love to share. In fact, just recently I realized, "I think that's why I read so much," because I like to gather all the information, so that I could share it with people and look like I'm important.

So it was a huge shock and surprise to me at first. And I didn't really believe it until I really started digging into my experiences and my life and my history, and I went, "Oh, yeah, that is me." And through the course, and I had done money bootcamp first, so I had unlocked some of those money blocks, I really started doing a lot of upgrading. I upgraded my clothes. I started giving myself permission to buy from places other than discount shops and to get real stuff. I felt like I could finally buy real things. My parents and my grandparents are all about passing things down. "We don't need this anymore, so you should have it." Or "You have a need for something and I have a thing and it will be functional for you, so you should use it." No, I don't want to use it. I want to buy a new one. That's pretty and matches my house. I don't care for it."

In fact, I've been sort of the joke of the family, almost like, "Oh, don't try to give it to Heather. She doesn't want it." Because I don't. I don't want it. I want to buy my own. I want to pick it out. I want it to be perfect in the things that I want. And I don't just want somebody's hand-me-down thing. So I feel like I'm me now. I feel like I can be myself and I have permission to be myself.

So when I found out I was celebrity, first of all, I just assumed I did something wrong on the quiz, that maybe I had answered the questions wrong, because when I read the descriptions of especially the other two archetypes, my nurturer and ruler, I was like, "Oh, that's me. Those are me." I was building an online business, but I was also very centered around people. I had a women's organization and retreats. And so everything was very much building things for other people, like down to building websites and being behind the camera and photographing them. And my hair was always in a ponytail and I was like, "I'm not a celebrity. That's not really who I am. I'm the one behind the scenes, cheering for everybody." So I was kind of confused when I first saw the different archetypes.

But actually when I started watching the videos and I started going through what I wanted for my life and my business, the celebrity was there. She was just hiding. And she was just not showing up. She was kind of saying, "Oh, well, if you're plus size, nobody wants you to be on camera all the time." Or, "Oh, if you have wild and curly hair, you've got to tame it to show up," or, "You have to have your hair done," or, "You have to have makeup done." It was funny, Denise was talking about doing her hair and makeup before showing up. I used to have that view that, "Oh, well, if I'm going to be this person on social media, I have to do all those things." And I realize that over time, it's the personality that really is the celebrity thing. It's not all the other stuff. They all add up. But the ruler really was what I wanted when I first heard of SMA and I signed up and wanted to take the quiz, I was like, "Oh, I'm a ruler. I know I'm a ruler." I was so excited.

And then when I saw the ruler was in the top three, I was like, "I'm just going to tell everybody I'm a ruler," because I really liked that one the best. But actually what's funny is over the last couple of years, I did change my business around to where the focus was a little bit more on me. And I think it was Rebecca that said showing the vacations and the lifestyle, that actually was my personality very much. So now I was like, "Oh, well, now I don't have to hold back and I can show we did the upgraded swim out suite," or whatever we did. And I could actually kind of own that because it really was part of my true personality.

And what's funny is I started wanting to show up more.I wanted to shine more. I wanted to buy clothes other than black. I actually owned almost all black and gray clothes for a long time. And now everything is color. Even my nails are colored all the time. So I think just finding out the results were a little shocking at first. But I think that anybody that's even considering SMA has got to know that your archetype could be hiding. It could be hiding because of different reasons. And I was able to uncover some of the reasons why trauma and environment and relationships and different things that caused me to suppress that celebrity thing. But once I embraced her, then I really did start attracting everything that I was supposed to be doing. And I really had all sorts of light bulbs that went off. It was like, "Oh, my gosh, this is why it was so hard before," because I wasn't really being me. I wasn't shining.

The celebrity one was no great surprise to me. And I was like, "Oh, finally. I get to own it." And just say, "Yeah," like Janet said, "I really like beautiful things." It's important for me to have beautiful things. And I actually am a celebrity. I work in the performing arts industry. I work in show business. I'm on stage. That's my job. And there was always the society, societal shames, and putting people in boxes and things like that. And it was the first time I actually came across that when it validated my experience on planet earth as a performer, as somebody who lives in the limelight to say, "Actually people need this. This is your job." So that was really nice for me.

 

Rebecca Lima
(Click here to read Rebecca's full review)

Finding out that I was a celebrity, I had a 30 second shock and then I just fell into my own body. I'm like, "Oh, everything makes sense now." As a seven year old, I remember I had some really rich cousins and I went to their house and their maid made a comment that I was really stuck up. But the thing is I was super broke. I was a child. How could I be stuck up? So the celebrity has always been part of me even when I didn't have money. And a lot of times growing up, I was called stuck up and who wants to have the really nice things and I should just settle. So it was like my whole life flash before my eyes and things started to really make sense. And instead of being ashamed and guilty about feeling the way that I felt and liking the things that I liked, even when it was out of my budget, I started really embracing it in the simplicity and things.

And even the way that I do marketing, the language that I use around marketing has changed. And it's so interesting, because now I use celebrity words and I start attracting more people who are like that. And the funny thing was a small change. I never felt really comfortable sharing income besides my clients. But I'm a business coach. I need to share some type of ROI in order for me to get clients. So I stepped into my celebrity self and I started sharing my lifestyle. It doesn't matter how much I make, but here are all the amazing things I get to do by doing what I do. And that has changed everything about it, because now I share my vacations. I share... Like last year, we went for a month-long vacation as a family, which was such a dream. We went to 30 places in 30 days. This year, we're doing a two-week vacation. I arrived yesterday from vacation. I'm going on vacation again tomorrow. So I share that. I share my lifestyle.

And unashamed, again, owning my words, saying, "This is amazing that I get to do this. Don't you want to do this too?" And when people tell me that I'm stuck up, I'm like, "No, I'm just a celebrity. Get used to it." And even my parents. Last night, I treated my dad to a five-star meal, which felt so good to be in that place of "Dad, here we go. Let's just do this. This is so nice." And to get to be a role model owning your wants, because I think that especially as women, we are told to just keep it down, keep it low, the humbleness. And especially as an immigrant, I had the second best mindset that I was always second best. There were always other people shining. And stepping to my celebrity self, "No, I get to be my own best. And this is awesome and a role model for other people." So that's really special.

 

 

How do your top three Archetypes work together?

Shay Jordan-Hrobsky
(Click here to read Shay's full review)

For me, it's more so in my personal life, as well, than in my business, especially the celebrity and the romantic. My husband is also an accumulator and, oh, my lanta, the struggles that we have had. Because I'm like, "We'll be fine. Everything is fine. We're good." And he's like, "No, we're not. The world is burning down. We need everything in the bank." I'm like, "We are okay." It is just that night and day difference. I can't imagine romantics going, "Oh, hot damn. No, thank you." Nor would I want to." But also, I do think that he helps a little bit with balancing me out, because I do have that double whammy of the celebrity and romantic and mine isn't canceled out. Mine is the amplified, the imposter syndrome, the putting things off, all of that.

So having him be that middle ground of, "Okay, honey, we've been on three trips in six months, let's take a break." And I'm like, "Okay, maybe you're right. But can we start planning our next trip? So at least I have that little hit of like, "Yeah, let's do something," because I am not a good sit still sort of person.

 

Heather Lambert

My other two, romantic and ruler, sometimes they contradict, but sometimes they really complement. So I love how to buy really nice clothes and really nice makeup, but I also want them to be simple and easy and efficient. And that's the ruler of me too. I want everything to be very efficient and easy. But it's got to be right and good and pretty and fun and all of the things. It's got to be what I want. So the course was eye opening for me. And it really helped me find myself. And I feel so much better being me now.

 

Kerri Layton

And so that bit came as no surprise. And then the maverick bit was great. I was like, "Oh," that unlocked so much for me. I'm such a rebel. I've been such a rebel my entire life. And that's never been great... that actually isn't great. I think in some areas it can hold you back. So the negative aspects of the Maverick and then the romantic, again, when I heard that, I think that has been... continues to be probably the most challenging aspect. But it's also fed into my new business model in that I've realized that my romantic is coming out to play. I'm not a ruler, I'm a good leader. But when the intricacies of running the agency and the academy and actually managing other people, I hate it. I just don't have the capacity for it at all. I'm definitely up for the other stuff. So yeah, that's it really. But it has been different. And I think my three change, I definitely had celebrity and maverick or celebrity and romantic, but I think the maverick was quite close to another one. I can't remember, but that changed as I went along.

 

Rebecca Lima

So my accumulator, my celebrity wanted to, I was already offering white glove, because again, we are tastemakers. We are trailblazers ahead of the curve a little bit with all the things. But my accumulator, because I don't spend money that way, I bought into the life that "If you haven't paid this price, then you can't charge those prices." And I realized, with SMA, that's not it at all. My clients are not me. Actually, my clients have the opposite problems that I do. The things that come easy for me, don't come easy for my clients. So they're opposite people that I am. So my accumulator was definitely the way of not letting charge what my celebrity self wanted to charge for the service that I was providing. And of course my maverick like, "Oh, everybody's doing it this way. Why are you going to do it this way too? "So I had this three personalities fighting with me and in the end, the celebrity won and a little bit of the maverick too. Oh. But I do it this way and I'm special because of this. So it was a lot of fun.

 

Janet Bernstein

So I actually had a huge aha moment when I really started looking at who I was attracting to my business. And I know I did a lot of done-for-you type services, but I really wanted to get away from the constant "Help me, help me, help. I'm stuck. Can you just fix it?" to "I'm ready to learn. What can you tell me to do?" And so I actually, after so many months of procrastinating and watching lots of videos and trying to figure out, make sure I was doing all the right things. I launched an online course and I was able to put all of my stuff in there, record the videos, I did the outfit changes, which is a total celebrity thing. And once I was done, it was like this huge weight had been lifted. And it was very easy. The first couple of messages I got where someone was like, "Oh, I was just looking at your course information. And gosh, it looks like it's self-paced and I just do..." And I'm like, "Yeah."

And it was much less of "Don't worry. I'm there every step of the way," which was that nurturer thing that I used to always do. And also the ruler thing, which was I would take money for anybody. I would say, "I will help anybody, who's ready to do this. And now I'm very specific. It's like "If you're meant for more, but something's holding you back, there might be a lack of confidence or you're scared to go on camera, but you're not sure why, this is for you." And it's completely at your own pace. You do this in your time and it's very empowering and I'm putting it back on them. So I feel like I'm not enabling anybody to text me all hours of the night, "Help me, help me. What do I do?" instead of here's my course and walk you right through it.

And so it really felt I channeled my inner Denise. That's what I say all the time, as I put together my own boot camp basically, and that's completely tailored around my business and my expertise and that made life a lot easier. I still struggle with the nurturer part. When people reach out, there's a part of me, that's always like, "Oh, here's my cell phone." And I'm like, Nope. Nope. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I got to stay in my power."

 

How does your Celebrity sabotage you in business?

Shay Jordan-Hrobsky

I actually went back to see what my connector was. And that's my lowest, it's 15 out of everything that I have. When you said batching, I actually took some notes on that, because it is the same. So on top of having my celebrity and my romantic being my number one, I'm also a projector in human design. And so I have these pockets of energy where I'm like, "Okay, yes, I can do it all." And then I'm like, "No, I can't. Nor do I want to. Nor do I want to be around all the people to do it all." And I find that is one of my sabotages is when I do have those big pockets of energy, I'm not utilizing them wisely.

And then when I also am either feeling imposter syndrome-y or I'm feeling inadequate, then I'm like, "Oh, let me go to Amazon. Let me just buy some stuff I don't need." And I find that I do that to make myself feel, quote, unquote, something, even though I should be doing my client work or working on the stuff that I know I need to be working on, because that's how I end up self-sabotaging. Yeah. Yes. Shopping is what makes me feel better too.

 

Patience Modevi

In terms of the celebrity, it's caused more problems, I will say, in my life, or challenges, I will say, in my personal life with my husband. Because my husband is more of an accumulator. So we bump into the spending of the household and things like that. So for example, way before I learned about you or your existence, I had a nanny and I also had someone to help me clean to do something. The reason is when I had my third child, I was like, "No, it's too much for me. I can't do it." So I just hired someone. And from there, it was a bit of a fight to get that person into the house. And then it was a fight to give them a key so that they were actually part of the [inaudible]. So it went like that, but I took over more of my needs and went with it. So I think this is where they show up in my life really.

 

Janet Bernstein

It wasn't until I really got to SMA and money bootcamp that I started connecting these old stories. And I realized that the reason why I didn't shine was I had that fear of outshining, that it was basically an upper-limit problem. But basically I was afraid to say, "I know the answer," or that I was better or whatever it was. I was afraid to audition for the role. I was afraid to do whatever it was, because everyone was like, "Oh, this is Janet, she does everything," or, "She knows everything," or whatever the thing was. And so I became shy even though I'm not a shy person really at all.

And so it's very interesting when I learned I was celebrity status and I was laughing and I was like, "Oh, I do remember as a kid, I used to host talent shows in my backyard and charge admission." And I mean ran the little businesses out of my garage. And I'm like, "It does make sense." But I just wonder somewhere along the line, if I had not been asked to stop raising my hand, maybe how soon I could have realized I was a celebrity. So I find that very interesting now. Especially as a mom, I know lots of moms are starting to recognize the differences in their kiddos. I know as a mom of five, we pick up on the different things between the different kids. So I find it fascinating now.

I'm just really excited to use this moving forward into the new changes that I'm making in my business. So I would say, "Don't wait. Jump in hands first or feet first, whatever way that goes first, just jump in."

How did it feel when you found out you were an Alchemist? 

Adele Bates
(Click here to read Adele's full review)

So I remember very clearly watching that first video. You know once you've signed up and then it's like, "Hi, you're an alchemist and this is you." And I cried. God, yeah, I cried because I think it was the first time... I knew that about me. I know that that's who I am, but it was the first time that I'd heard it accepted in a business sense. So maybe like Mattia was saying, I think up to that point, I had run my business from my accumulator side. so that first video, when it was... Essentially you gave me this permission slip of going, "You can be Adele and you can be a business person." And then when you started talking about saving the world, that was it. It was so touching, and I remember taking it to my partner and saying to her, "Just watch this, it's me." But I think it was just so special to hear that, not in a spiritual setting, not in a creative art setting or anything like that, but in a business setting, and I think that's been the strongest thing for me through doing SMA as an alchemist.

 

Catherine Lucktaylor
(Click here to read Catherine's full review)

I really connected with the alchemist. I remember once Sydney saying not really having to prepare and just turning up and it just happens and that really happens to me. I just turn up and things just happen and I just know what to say and it just all comes out of me. So that was really validating.

 

Janet Tse
(Click here to read Janet's full review)

I really resonated with everybody who said it's a permission slip not to finish everything. Oh, I've got so many ideas and it's like I haven't got it together. It took me years to get to where I am now, just weaving these three things together, and it was just overcoming the shame of, "Oh my gosh, what is she doing? She used to do this, but now where are you heading to life?" But then when I saw this alchemist thing, I was like, "Oh right, I'm here to change the world." And it's not in a sense of through anger or anything, but it's really owning my space and being at peace with saying, "Hey, this is what I do, and I'm unapologetic feeling this way."

And I think the biggest aha tied to that was there were different layers. So the first layer for me was, "Okay, as a Chinese Australian, how do I teach people to show up culturally? But then I had to realize that other than healing my own wounds, it was also generational wounds from my dad who grew up in Hong Kong, and there were cultural differences that he had to overcome as a Chinese person. And the money wounds that came from that. The second class of their own country, their own city. And now coming back to Hong Kong, it's like coming full circle and claiming that we are all human and money making and doing business without borders, and this is something that had happened years ago for our ancestors doing business without borders all over the world, and this is something that I hope to convey in my work.

 

Mattia Mauree
(Click here to read Mattia's full review)

I remember one of the things that I read in the materials initially in SMA was... I have this written down here. You find it easy to empower others to believe in themselves, and kind of like what other people are saying, I had just never really heard that, but in a business context, or saying that that was one of my primary strengths, which it definitely is. And that it wasn't just about, I don't know, convincing people to give me money. It was about empowering them to do more as well, which is a lot of what I do. I also have a podcast called The Longer Road, for people with multiple marginalized identities. And a lot of people with multiple marginalized identities are poor because of structural inequities and all these things that they've had to work through. And one of the things that I'm trying to help people with is even if you have these things, even if you're disabled, there are still usually things you can do, especially in this online world.

So even though I don't see myself as a business coach, that's not the main thing at all, it's part of that message of what I'm doing to try to help people. So that was really, really meaningful for me, I think, and probably my first big aha. And then my second big aha was just because I can do something doesn't mean I should, especially for money. Just because I look at something and go, "Oh yeah, I could probably figure that out." In music, for example, I should not be producing all of my own work. Even though I technically know how to do audio production, it's not my area of genius, it takes me forever. And it's probably still not as good as somebody who that's their only job. So many areas where I just went, "Oh, okay. Here's where my magic is," and I'm allowed to just outsource the rest of it and not try to do everything myself.

 

Stacy Hoch
(Click here to read Stacy's full review)

This is how terrible the business person I am. When Adele said that she had not applied that alchemist thing to her business, I literally have not until this very moment because I just realized that I actually rely on my Connector/Nurturer for my business and my biggest aha... Because in my personal life I can manifest anything like that. Except then I see contrast with clients who are super rich and then I'm like, "What the fuck? Why didn't I decide to manifest that? Where did that come from? I didn't know that was possible." So my biggest aha actually was people will always say to me, "Dude, why don't you charge money for... Your YouTube channel is ridiculous. Stop doing what you're doing. You're giving away all of this information." I'd be like, "What do you mean? I thought this is what I did."

And I have a following and I could theoretically be in possession to make millions of dollars, and life coaches look at me and they're like, "Oh, that's no excuse that you have four kids and that you're doing all of this by yourself." And I'm like, "Oh my God." I see the cognitive dissonance of I could be that person, but also I just am like... I don't know. It was weird for me to go, "Wait, people will literally pay me for when I'm giving them away for free while I'm struggling most of the time to make sure I can sustain a life for my family." So hearing that people will pay for ideas was intriguing to me because I guess I didn't... Now I'm at a place where people want to talk to me and I'm like, "Yo, I get paid to talk to people." I get paid to go to that connector place that before I would just give that away to everybody.

So to hear that actually the truth is that's why people have hired me along, is for my ideas. And I'm like you, Denise, I just show up. I'm unprepared. I'm like, "Oh my God, I hope I don't forget what I would even want to say." And most of the time I do. And people pay me just to do that, just to show up to their experience and give them new ideas about it. And that was like, "What?" And that's why every coach that I've ever worked with since has been like, "What is your problem? You are the worst. What aren't you getting?" I hate asking for money, too, because I'm the nurture connector. So I'm like, "Oh, I just want to give everything away for free, and I'll save the alchemist part for my own personal life to find random shit on the side of the road that I want constantly." But I have not actually until this very moment even considered applying the alchemist frequency to my business, which is a very weird thought and it feels very fun to think about.

 

Stephanie Cavoli

Wow. So I so resonate with what you just said, and the idea of permission to be who you are, because I feel like in this business world, and I realize as a massage therapist, we have permission to be a little alchemy-ish. It's sort of accepted. But even for me, those people in my world, they didn't own the businesses and they didn't do well. They could be amazing massage therapists, but their businesses were not thriving or growing and so many were closing their practices. And that was really just disheartening for me. So hearing that, "Wait a minute, I'm a little weird and that's okay?"

And it was also super... I think the most important aha was that it just validated everything that I knew about myself to be true and that it was okay, and also it's okay if I'm not good at follow through. It's okay if the things that are my challenges, for them to be my challenges, because in the business world, from that masculine standpoint that we come to know that it's not acceptable. So to be able to accept myself and go, "Wait, I can look at those gifts and I can thrive? It's okay if these are my strong things and these aren't my strong things?" So yeah, for me having the permission, like you said, and the validation was a total game changer. It changed everything about how I looked at myself and my business.

 
How do your top three Archetypes work together?

Rachael Ferrera
(Click here to read Rachael's full review)

For me it's connector alchemist, and then ruler a little bit below. Oh yeah, I definitely see all of these and I've been fascinated by how they work together and pull on each other. So definitely with that connector alchemist, with both of them being so high, the tendency to just not care about money, I don't need to think about that. I mean, absolutely, this is something that I've gotten much better at. Definitely work in progress, but gotten much better at because of Money Bootcamp and SMA all of these things, going, "Okay, yes, let's look at this and let's create some systems around it." But that natural tendency all through my 20s for sure, it was very much money was not a thought in my mind, really, managing it at all. And just that belief that it will always be there is great.

And I think especially in my late 20s, early 30s, I saw that double edged sword thing play out because then it's when some kind of emergency would happen, and it was like I didn't have as much access to my magic almost it felt like. It's like, "Whoa, all of a sudden everything's a bit of a mess," if that makes sense. So really going, "Oh, okay. Maybe let me pay a little bit more..." Or a lot. Actually a lot more attention. But something that also was interesting at when I started not in Money Bootcamp, before Money Bootcamp, when I started looking at money through some other programs and things, I all of a sudden realized that I wasn't looking at my money, that I wasn't caring about it. And I became aware of that. And then I almost became ashamed of that.

And then it was almost like I totally leaned away from my alchemist, the part of me that could just create money, because it was like, "No, that's not real. That's juvenile. That's too magical. No, you need to understand where it's coming from." And then I actually think I started leaning more into the ruler part of me that's like, "I need to be empowered. I need to work for this," which there is a very natural part of me that can just do the thing, but it's not actually the highest part of me. I think it's good that it's in the mix and it helps. But what I noticed was a pendulum swing to then where it's like, "No, I just need to work on this. I just need to build my empire." And then I wasn't connecting with people because it's like, "No, I need to focus, I need to work."

And I started to see things aren't flowing. So when I really dove into this work, I started to understand it's like, "No," because yes, it's good to pay attention to the money. It's good to build your empire or whatever, but my superpower is in the connection, so I have to have that. And when I connect, what I've realized is connecting to other people and really building really genuine relationships for the sake of building genuine relationships is what creates. It's the channel to the alchemist. It's the channel to money just coming in, opportunities just coming in, that then turn into money. So that's like how I see that trifecta playing out for me. And it's been so powerful to just have this understanding so I can go when things aren't as in flow, what is it that I need to lean into? Am I cutting off my connector? Am I cutting off my alchemist? Or do I actually need to bring in a little bit more of that ruler for a phase? So yeah, this has been just mind blowing.

Catherine Lucktaylor

So I'm an alchemist, connector, and celebrity, and they're all pretty close together. I can't remember the exact figures, but there was only a few points between each of them. So they were very close together. And I think for me, it's really helped me understand and create a business model that works for me. And I think one of the things that was, I think you said at one time, Denise, was about being an alchemist and not promising you're going to follow up with something. And that was like, "Wow, I can do that?" And I really have to help myself back and not say, "Oh yes, and I'll send you this thing or I'll send you that thing." No, I'm not going to do that, because I'll just forget and just won't do it and don't want to do it. So that was a revelation. I absolutely love that.

And I think the way they work together for me is just incredible. I've got the alchemist, which is the ideas and I create things, and then I can put on the show and then I can show up for the private view and be the celebrity, and the connector will bring and attract all those people to it. So that has been amazing for me. And it's really made me see how I can bring it all together and just allowing myself to just do what I want to do and say no to the things I don't want to do. And I think what I do still struggle a little bit with, I keep thinking I want... Because I have this idea of something that could be a membership that people could sign up and could...

I started a Patreon page and I got one person to sign up and I haven't done anything with it. This is two years ago, and I've got someone paying me every month. And I feel really bad. I haven't done anything else with it. And I keep getting this one account, someone in America signed up, and then it's like, "Okay, well I did do that," and I never followed through with it. It was a great idea, and I spent ages... And I had all these different options and then it was like, "Yeah, I'm bored of that. I don't want to do it anymore." But I keep thinking, "Oh, it'd be such a good thing to do and I've got all these ideas." But I just know I'm not going to follow through with this. So I've realized that I work better doing projects. I will do this for this amount of time, and I don't know if it'll continue in the future. I don't know if I'll do it again.

At the moment I've created a retreat. In September I'm doing this three day retreat and it's working with art and creativity and grief rituals and it's this is beautiful place, but I don't know if I'll want to do it after I've done... I might do it again in the future, but I just don't want to have that pressure of knowing that I've got to do it again next year, because I might not want to. I'll probably be onto the next thing. So it is challenging, but I think my three seem to work really well together, and now I'm knowing and I'm seeing how they can work well together and I just love it and I really relate to them and I really love the magic of being an alchemist. So I think for me that is the big one, because I just... Because what I do, I do raku, so I'm working with all the elements and I take things out of the kiln and they're red hot, and there's fire and there's smoke and it's really exciting.

I do demonstrations. I have my open studios and people come and they watch me create these amazing things. And for me it's easy. I mean, I've been doing it for 30 odd years, but I can create and people are like, "Oh, how do you get that color with raku, and how do you do that?" It's just, "Oh, I just do it. Yeah, I'm a magician. I just do it." And I love it. But I just know that I can't work under pressure. I need to just be able to create. Yesterday, the day before, I had a really bad day because I was having to work to a deadline, so it didn't work. So this pot I was making for a gallery, they wanted it and they wanted this certain type. And because I had that pressure and I really didn't feel like being there, but I had to because that was the only day I had, it just didn't work. And I've just got to remember that it doesn't work for me.

I hate working. I hate doing commissions, because it's that external pressure of somebody wanting something a certain way, it just makes me tighten up, and I can't be in that creative flow. It's crazy. I just can't do it. Always goes wrong and I end up having to make loads of different versions and I'm working for pittance because I'm having to make different ones until I get it right. And it's just like, "No, I'm just going to make something. If you like it, you can buy it." So that's giving myself permission to just do that and to just know that I'm going to create something and people are going to like it and respond to it. I mean, I do consider what people want and I do have that back and forth and that conversation with my customers, but I also know that, "Yes, but I'm the magician, I'm the alchemist. I'm bringing something into being, and no one could ever know or suggest what I could create, and it is just going to come out and then I will find the people who want it." I think that is the thing for me.

 
How does your Alchemist sabotage you in business?

Janet Tse

I really resonated with what Mattia and Stephanie just said. The love hate relationship and also the imposter syndrome. So I think the connecting piece with me was trying to show up as the authentic me, without trying to be somebody else when I'm doing image consulting for really wealthy people, and then feel a little bit of jealousy and envy, and then feel shit for... Why should I feel that way? Because I'm a therapist, I should be doing my own work. And it's like, "Get that out of my mind. I'm here to serve." And I was like, "Wait a minute, but they're so wealthy. Maybe I should charge for them. And maybe I should charge a little bit more."

And then I feel guilty for wanting more money. And it's that duality of feeling like I'm always never enough to just be myself and always putting a lid on how I should be doing things and why I should be doing things, instead of just being me and claiming that, "No, I don't adult right, I don't finish things," and be okay with just being a kid sometimes and needing help sometimes. So that's one of my biggest challenges as well.

 

Catherine Lucktaylor

Thing that comes to mind when you talk about sabotages was just thinking that... Not really valuing my ideas and my talents, because I've always been really good at making things and creating things, and I think for a long time, I just didn't charge enough for what I was making, and just having so many ideas I never really followed through on things. I'd never could finish anything because I start making something and then I'm onto the next thing. So there was no continuity and I think that's something I've learned how to create collections and have something from start to finish and not just put it aside for the next thing.

I still do that a bit. I still do that a bit because I just get really excited. And also realizing that, yes, I have loads of ideas, but I don't have to do them all and I don't have time to do them all. And I think I used to get really just stuck on making a decision on moving forward because I didn't know what to go with, what I wanted to carry forward, so I never really did anything. So I think for a long time when I was younger, that really held me back. And just just not valuing myself and my talents. I think that's the main thing.

 

Mattia Mauree

I think one of mine was the love hate relationship with money part of it and feeling judgemental about money. Again, coming out of an artist background, there's obviously a lot of stereotypes in the artist world that it's good to be poor, it's noble to be poor. And also that charging for your work, especially to other artists, is not cool. So I think a lot of... And a lot of what was great about SMA for me was really going, "Oh, okay, this isn't just because of my background. This is actually a part of who I am," and noticing that, accepting that, and then figuring out how to get around it has been really useful. For example, sometimes people would owe me money and I would maybe follow up once, maybe not, and then just let it go. And I was not necessarily invoicing people the way that I should or really following up.

So there have been a lot of potential chunks of money I've just let go, or even actually that something somebody just said about workshops and stuff, I actually taught a free workshop recently a bunch of people came to it and somebody was like, "Oh, have you thought about packaging this up and selling it as a course?" And I was like, "Nope. That had not occurred to me, I guess." Cool that people would like it. So anyway. Both having a lot of ideas and not necessarily knowing how to apply them, but then that love hate thing with money sometimes, really learning how to ask for and receive money and then have it once I have it and not just immediately give it away.

 

Rachael Ferrera

I think that one of the ways that I wasn't allowing my alchemists to work for me before was... So magical thinking is amazing. It's just a problem when that's all that there is. So what I noticed is that sometimes it would be like, "Oh, the money will come and I don't have to do anything. And honestly, honestly, the reason I believe that is because sometimes that would happen. Sometimes that was legit true. If I would just focus on what made me happy and what felt fun and joyful, then money would just come. But I think that creating those channels and those tributaries, what it does is give me more empowerment in the process so that it's not like I'm only trusting the universe. It's how am I co-creating with the universe? How am I collaborating with the universe?

So what I have noticed is that now I'm always like, "Okay, well what am I selling now?" This is something I've been leaning into more and more and more over the last couple of years, especially over the last year. Always having something that I'm selling now. Actually, more recently, even more actively. In the last year it was like there is always something someone can buy. Now in the last several months it's been like, no, I'm actively putting a bit of energy behind something at all times. Because what I've recognized is that when I do that with intention and focus, I don't have to overwork, but it's just putting a bit of intention and a bit of energy behind it, sometimes money comes in through that channel. Sometimes money comes in through that channel. But a lot of times, either money doesn't actually totally come in through that channel. But then it comes in through some other place in a massive way. Or it's both.

It's almost like having that energy, that specific intention creates the opening for a full belief in my system and the universe to be like, "We know what we're doing. We know where we're going." Again, it increases the magnetic energy. So that magical thinking, it's almost like it has backing behind it. It has meat behind it. It's got some truth behind it. So then I'm like, "Okay, here's what I'm putting out." And it's so funny because sometimes I'll put... Last week, literally, I put energy into just a small... A little offer, a mini course, and people signed up for the mini course, but then these other massive things came in. Some of them money, some of them value. Thousands of dollars worth of value for free. Or a new business idea that I actually just then sold right away without trying at all. But I really believe that it's because I had clear intention of, "This is a very specific way that money can come to me," and then money's like, "Oh, okay. Yes, and..." So I've seen that and I'm actively in the process of leaning into that more and more and more.

 

Stacy Hoch

I resonate with everybody. I think that I come a little bit from a different angle in that... My sabotage is actually that I don't treat my business like it's anything, because I don't want to depend on it. So I'm like, "Fuck you, you work for me," basically. And it does, weirdly. My business, energetically, and that's why sometimes I have to just listen and it's like, "No, now's not the time to scale, Stacy." You have this particular life and these circumstances. And then I'm like... But I see this contrast. It's like, "What are you talking about? Is this self denial?" And I show up to it when I can't not. I do not show up consistently. I show up to it when my body is saying, "Okay, now is the time."

And I honor my business in that way, but really I've created it in such a way that... I never intended to be an entrepreneur. I just didn't want to leave my kids. So I homeschool my kids. I go to sleep with my kids. I'm running a business. I'm the breadwinner of a family. And I did it that way because of one reason only, and it was to not have to leave my kids. So the fact that I'm even in business is insane to me because, and the fact that it's sustained me for this long, which is obviously the alchemist. People would be like, "Well how the hell did you do that?" I don't know, I literally put up a sign. And then I have clients come to me and they're like, "If I'm going to be in business, I need a lawyer, I need this, I need that." And I'm like, "What are you talking about? I still don't have any of those things."

What, so my sabotages are... I don't button things up because I'm a mess, and that's just who I am. So I have a whole bunch of things that I do actually finish, I just don't share. And that's annoying because I don't market. I will send newsletters and be like, "Hey guys, love you, basically giving you some tap in vibrationally," and then I'm like, "And by the way, maybe you would maybe think about wanting to buy this thing that I'm not even going to tell you any fucking thing about, I'm just going to say it exists." So my biggest sabotage is my fear of yes. And that sense of wanting more and then feeling so grateful for what I have and being like... I'm in the best position I've ever been in my life. I have a family that loves me, I have a fucking roof over my head, I feel great in my body, and how dare I want more when I'm working with people that have so much and they want what I have?

 

Stephanie Cavoli

So I'm also a nurturer and a connector, and I work with people who need a lot and won't because they don't get a lot of attention from the people who should be giving it to them. So one of my biggest struggles is absolutely giving my time for free, giving literally my hands for free. That was a huge struggle. And then interestingly enough I'm realizing that, especially in the beginning, imposter syndrome would leak in, and then what would happen is I would have this great advice for somebody, but I'd be afraid to tell them it was my idea. So I'd be like, "Oh, Denise, I had this other client and she did this, and all of these amazing things happened." And then they would leave and they'd come back and be like, "That was such great advice."

It was my advice. My client didn't do it. I just made that up because I got so nervous about sharing. I have all these ideas, but do you really want to hear them? So that was a huge problem. And I think shiny object syndrome happens a lot. I would start 10 million projects and then I'd put half of my effort into it, panic, and then see something else and be like, "This is the answer. This is what I've got to do." And then that would happen all over again. So I have, I don't know, 15 half written eBooks that are amazing. I have classes, full on classes that are just sitting in my computer that people would love, but nobody sees them. So I think those are probably my biggest sabotages.

 
How has joining Sacred Money Archetypes helped you?

Catherine Lucktaylor

I really got a lot out of SMA. I think it really helped me to understand myself and how I wanted to ruin my business, and similar to what Beatrice said, is giving myself permission to run my business in my own way and to understand what my business model is and how it works. So I really recommend it. I think it's fantastic. It works really well with Money Bootcamp, and it just gives you more of an insight into your own personality and creating a business that works for your life. I think that's the main thing.

And it's also helped me to be aware of what to say no to and what to say yes to. So when I get opportunities, I think about my archetypes and that helps me to think, "Well, is that a good fit for what I want or where I want my business to be going in the future?" Like for instance, I don't want to do a membership, even though it looks like on paper it would be an ideal thing for me. Actually. I know that I'm not going to follow through because I'm an alchemist. So yeah, I really think it's been useful.

How Accumulators can use Sacred Money Archetypes® to make more money

 
Our Accumulator Roundtable Guests

 

 
How did it feel when you found out you were an Accumulator? 

Jenny Bracelin

Personally, what I realized, because I know my family are quite good at math. They think if you need calculators or paper, then you're just, "What are you doing?" So, I'm the dunce of my family. So, it was really interesting finding out I was an Accumulator, and realizing, actually, I'm quite good at numbers and quite frugal with it. And I laugh so much because people kind of... "I'm Jenny." And it's like, "What do you do?" "I explain money." And so in the end, I called my business I Explain Money. So when I discovered I was an Accumulator, it made me laugh because I do have an accountant the same, because I don't want to do that bit. I like cash flow forecasts and making money. That's my favorite bit. And so, it really confirmed that numbers, and the detail, and the caution, was part of my personality.

 

Katie Chappell

When I found out Accumulator was in my top three, so many things from my life made sense, because there were things like... There was a time that I was fired from my job and I had no money. But I felt like, "Well, I can survive on nothing, so that's fine. I don't need a job." And then when I was a nanny in Germany for a long time, and I didn't open a bank account. I just kept my money in my sock drawer because I was like, "I can see my money here, and I don't need to trust any..." You had to pay 10 Euros a month to have a bank account. That was the thing, and I was like, "I'm not paying to have a bank account. That is ridiculous."

But now, in my business, I find that it's really helpful because it helps me... I find it really easy to invest in my business, because I feel like, "Oh, well, that's going to come back to me tenfold." Whereas, I still struggle a little bit on the personal front, to buy things that are just for myself, that feel frivolous, or extra that I don't need. Whereas in my business, I'm like, "Well, it's a business expense, so it's totally fine." So it means, when a business is concerned, everything's bougie, and extra, and the best of everything. And then at home, I'm like, "Oh, we don't need that. Just get the no-frills version." Or, "Let's cut back on this." So, yeah. It's funny. I feel like it's evolving as I go. So, yeah. Business expenses are okay.

 

Lata Hamilton

Finding out that I was an Accumulator was not a surprise to me at all. I've always been a great saver. When I was a kid, apparently my siblings used to trade me the big, shiny 50 cent coins for the little, dirty $2 coins. And I was like, 'Yeah, yeah." So, I always had more money than them. So, being an Accumulator was not a big surprise. I like to save. I like to invest for the future, and make those kind of prudent investments. And return on investment is a really big thing for me.

 

Lennis Perez

Oh, my goodness. I think, for me, the first realization, just with the archetypes, is that not everybody thinks like me, like an Accumulator. That was a big smack in the face.

And another part was just giving me context on why I struggle so much in my previous marital relationship. To be married to someone that was... His sense of safety did not come from seeing money in the bank. My sense of safety comes from seeing money, and having that cushion in the bank. So for me, he was a big risk taker, and seeing us living paycheck to paycheck just caused me so much emotional baggage.

And having clarity that, "Wait a minute. As an Accumulator, this is what makes me feel safe." And it's beyond frugality. It's like truly, my safety comes from seeing the money, saving money, putting it away. Taking care of it, so that it can take care of me later on. So for me, that was just a tremendous awareness that came from understanding that I am an Accumulator.

 

Susan Welch

Surprised. Actually, I thought I was more Celebrity. I love to show off, and I like to buy expensive things, you know what I mean? And the more I realize I'm an Accumulator that I see, yes, I'm kind of very stingy on hiring people. You know what I mean? I mean, because I'm also realizing I can do the best job of everyone else. So when I'm hiring someone, I always think that's such a waste of money.

But I want to grow my business. I have to adapt to that. So this is the Aha moment, when I learned I'm the same way. And I said, "Yes, there's some certain people I do need to hire to help." So the first thing I did is to hire a CPA. I don't really love to dig around all the receipts, and take care of my own accounting. So, yeah. But that is my Aha moment, and also such a surprise to me.

 

Talk about how your top three Archetypes work together

Lennis Perez 

Oh, my goodness. Knowing my other top archetypes was such a blessing for me. Number one, I think, as we're hearing with the Rulers, is the constantly working, constantly doing. And for me, that was also a numbing mechanism, because I didn't want to go through the process of healing the little traumas that I was carrying in my life. I was just constantly doing, and that's what I saw as a role model from my mom. So, recognizing that Ruler and saying, "I can lean into your strengths, but you don't have to Ruler over me," kind of mentality was really important.

And then the other one, which is Nurturer, I love the idea. And I am a natural Nurturer. I love taking care of my family, taking care of the people that I love. Very overgiving, to the point of stretching myself too much. So, bringing that back a little bit, and actually using the Nurturer towards me, shifting that energy for myself. That was a huge shift. Because as Accumulators, it's like, "Well, I accumulate things and I complete things. And then I have to work really, really hard." And then the Nurturer is like, "It's only for the external. It's only for people outside." So for me, it was just bringing it in, and using the Nurturer for myself, was a giant gift.

And in terms of how it impacted my business, I was able to let go of trying to do a one-on-one coaching system, because of the perfectionism from the Accumulator and the Ruler, I just wanted to move into my client's house and make them do some work. And that was just such a nightmare. So, I completely shifted my model to be similar to what Danny was saying, that I'm the consultant here. This is all the knowledge that I've accumulated. This is what you need to do, and these are the exercises. But I'm not doing it for you. So that was a big shift for my business.

And now the way I work is, I work as a group, and I see it much more enriching for the women to collaborate with each other. And for me, to keep that Ruler in the back, of not wanting to keep pushing them to work harder, which I'm trying to do the opposite.

So recognizing it was just a giant aha for me, just to bring the other two archetypes and play with them. Lean more into, I need my Nurturer right now, a little bit more than my Ruler. Or I need my Ruler right now when I'm launching my business, versus my Accumulator or Nurturer. So, just playing with them has been fantastic.

 

Lata Hamilton

Probably with a bit of the Ruler too. That real, real, I guess, feeling like it's never enough, and really feeling, especially with... Obviously, as an Accumulator, I do save so much money that other people would just be gobsmacked. Before I moved to buy business full time, I had two years worth of living expenses in cash savings. But then, I still feel like that's not enough.

So, I really feel those kinds of Ruler sabotages start to come in, and really feel like it's not enough. And that's why, probably, it was a surprise to see that I was a Maverick, because that risk, I'm very risk averse. So seeing that riskiness start to pop up, it is like, "I will take risks as long as they're measured, and I'm certain of the return on investment on them."

 

 

How does your Accumulator sabotage you in business?

Katie Chappell

Yeah, so I think one of the main shifts was getting my Accumulator out of the wallets of my clients. And to stop assuming that everyone wants the rock bottom price, and the best deal, and a sale. As soon as I could let that go, and it was kind of a Maverick thing. I was like, "You know what? Let's try. Let's charge a day rate that's 10 times." What I was told at university and college was I was allowed to charge 10 Xs. See what happens. Worst case scenario, one person hires me. But then I've made 10 times the amount. And you know what? I did that, and more people hired me, and I was more in demand, and it was like this snowball effect.

And then my Accumulator, obviously, was really happy because it was like, "Oh, my goodness. Now we need to read about profit first, and put the money into the right pots, and get it all lined up and beautiful on this spreadsheet." See, I think my Maverick really helped with that. And my Ruler was really helpful with keeping going, and researching all the boring stuff like SEO, and how to get clients, and writing the boring SEO blog posts. Yeah.

But I think the main one that was getting out of the client's pocket, and just setting a price. Picking a price. And like you said, Denise, "Just pick a price. It's not carved into stone." And I've been at a price now that it's felt good for a year. But before that I was like, "Let's double that. Let's double that. Let's double that again." And it was just the incremental price increases were really interesting, but now I feel really happy at this price. And it feels like clients... Oh, I do get a lot of, "No. That's too expensive." But I'm totally used to it now. And then when people say, "Yes. It's a really good fit." And we work really well together, and they're hiring me because I'm an expert. And I've got that consultant vibe of like, it's a VIP one-on-one done fee sort of thing.

So, yeah. It feels really good. I think it's really helped me to be really happy in my business, and feel valued, and well rewarded financially for what I do, which is the dream, really.

 

Lata Hamilton

But then, the flip side of that is that I don't like to spend money unnecessarily. So giving myself opportunities to treat myself, to buy things at full price, to invest in things that might save me time in my business, invest in help for my business, and not have to necessarily do everything myself. So while I do see personal development and business courses as being a great investment for myself and for my future, I often go into them thinking, "Oh, I'm learning it so that I can do it." And not necessarily thinking about how I could maybe be doing some learning, or doing some development, thinking how I could actually bring other people into my business to help me. So, a real reluctance to upgrade on technology, or support, or any of those sorts of things, and actually just spend that money.

I probably haven't invested in my business, and put the time into my business early on. It's probably taken me a lot of years to really even commit to my business and really be consistent with it, because I was more going for the sure thing, that career, that would actually get me that income. So, probably just business growth, but also speed of success would really heavily be impacted.

And probably also, a bit of a lack of empathy with clients and other people in my life, because I can't get my head around... I can't get my head around how other people don't have savings. I literally can't fathom it. So when people are like, "Oh, I can't afford the course, but I want to join it," my course, "At the end of the year."

I'm like, "How do you not have that amount of money sitting there?" Because it's absolutely unfathomable to me.

And by the same token, I often don't offer payment plans because I've always got the cash there and I want to get an upfront saving, so I'll always pay upfront. So probably, a little bit of a lack of empathy, where maybe I don't think about how other people, what their purchasing style is, or their decisions. And so, I might be sort of, I guess, resisting easy income, or alternative paths for income, because I am kind of stuck in the way that I think and the security that I have, and assume that everybody would have that as well.

I think for me, it was... You think that by being an Accumulator, you're going to be rich. You think that by saving, and not spending money, and being so mindful around money, that you're going to be rich. I am not rich. And so, I think it just created this awareness that there are people out there spending so much money, and they're still rich. They're not running out of money. So to me, it was the concept of there being different options. I think it was really fascinating for me, because I think you only know what you know. And so, before I was exposed to this world, I only knew about saving money, but that has not gotten me rich. And even by letting go of feeling like I have to hoard money, that's what's allowed me to be more financially stable. So, I think that's what it was for me.

I don't want to speak for everybody, but I think we do feel very stressed out by living the Accumulator lifestyle. I think it's stressful to always be paying attention to what you're spending and how you're spending, and it's stressful. And so, I think if somebody comes along and is like, Hey, let me help you not be this way anymore."

You're like, "Oh, please."

So, yeah. Those are my thoughts on it. I think you see that other people are doing things differently, and they are more successful than you are financially. But also, it's just a way to help things. There's a way to live, and there's a way to run your business that's not so damned stressful.

Susan Welch

So, the thing is I need to use a lot of software to run my business, a lot of analyze sites, but I also can do it without the software. And the software charge is quite expensive, like a $100 per month, something. So, my Accumulator side is saying, "No. Just do it by yourself. Spend more time, and then you can analyze better." But actually, that's start of wasting time. If I just pay a hundred bucks for using the software, you know what I mean? So now, I learned from this program and I say, "Oh, yeah. Don't be cheapo. Just do it. Use the software. Help save more time and be more efficiency." So, that's the thing. Yeah.

 

Shazia Imam

Many Indian families, we know this in our community, it's all about the Accumulator life. It's all about, do this first. Live very frugally. Do the thing. And then, years down the road, you can enjoy. So I grew up with that mentality. But I have this ability to do bold and risky things, and get all this money. But with that belief in the background, when I was 23 years old, I bought my first home. And nobody in my community, or circle of friends, was doing that. Because everybody, we had just graduated, we were just starting out. But I knew that the market was going to take off. And I decided if I can just save $10,000, I will get a house. So, I did it. And a year later, the market went crazy, and I sold the home and made a profit of $165,000, which was unbelievable. I'm 24 years old. I've made all this money.

And you know what happened? I totally sabotaged myself by... I put the money away and I said, "I'll save it for another time." But I ended up then moving into a home that I hated. It was this dark two bedroom condo. I thought I would be there for a year or so. It was so depressing to live there. It was such a dark time in my life. And I felt like I couldn't access the money that I had made. I felt like I couldn't have that money. And what's really interesting is that money sort of bled out through different ways. It just kind of went away. And I never got to enjoy that like, "Oh, I made this money. Let me reinvest it in something." Because my Maverick probably could have made a million dollars from it, or done something.

But I have this pattern of, the money comes in and then I'm like, "Oh no, no, no. That's not how life works. It's got to be slow and steady wins the race." And so, I do this expansion, contraction thing a lot. And so I've spent years. I mean, now I'm 42, so I'm talking about almost 20 years ago. I've really tried to move out of that, to hold the energy of my ability to bring in big chunks of money, and not-

And my archetypes are Maverick, Ruler, and Accumulator. And I've noticed I cycle between the three. They're all very, very close together. Very strong. But my Maverick is, it is me, through and through. And my Accumulator sometimes likes to be like, "You can't do that." But my Maverick is bold, and loves to do stuff, and take big risks. So, I'm really excited about our conversation today.

 

Jenny Bracelin

For me, it was all about time because I'm also a Ruler/Maverick. But I realized that the Ruler drove me so hard, and added with that, the Accumulator, I insisted on doing research and was very thorough. And so, whilst friends might be like, "Oh, let's just put a course together at the weekend and promote it." I just found that really difficult. I wanted to do it properly, and finish it, and research it, and think about it. And so, I've just kind of streamlined everything so that I'm really focusing on one target market. One, I've got two kind of main services that I sell. And then, I've stopped working weekends and evenings, and just having much more of a life, because I realized that Ruler will drive you unless you take the foot off the pedal, really. So for me, it was such a huge relief, not to have to work all the time.

 

What would you say to someone who wants to join Sacred Money Archetypes? 

Lata Hamilton

Who's thinking of doing SMA, I would definitely recommend it. Being an Accumulator myself, it is definitely an investment that has return on investment, in terms of being able to understand more about you, what drives you, what motivates you, what some of your gifts are, what some of your challenges are, where you might be holding yourself back, sabotaging yourself. But then also, where you can maybe step it up a little bit and go with the flow, and actually flow with your personality, and with your money archetype, rather than against it. And using that as a jumping off board, to actually go for your success and the abundance that you want for your life, and for your career. And I would also say that, for anybody who is thinking of... who works with people, which probably is all of us, it's also fantastic because you can really start to understand other people. Build empathy for how other people think, how other people feel. What their archetypes might be, and what might be driving them. And potentially open up new channels of success and abundance for yourself, as well.

SMA Review - Camy Kennedy-Mexicanos

SACRED MONEY ARCHETYPES® REVIEW
Camy Kennedy-Mexicanos

Life Coach for People Pleasers | USA
Archetype: Romantic

My name's Camy. I am an intuitive life coach for perfectionists and also people pleasers. I am in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and my top three are Romantic, Connector and Ruler. One of the things I love about you, Denise, is you've given me permission to be lazy and make things really easy and make lots of money. 

"You've given me permission to be lazy and make things really easy. SMA is the secret that I didn't know that I needed."

 

What are some of the sabotages you experience because of your Archetypes?

I was just going to say, I sabotage with onboarding a VA. I've had several VAs. I'm not organized enough to delegate, and I have one really good VA who allows me to be a hot mess and just send a voice memo in the moment and be like, "Hey, could you do this today?" But I'm scaling my business and I'm now creating a course, and I'm embracing it. I need an actual system, but part of me wants to hire the person to do the system for me. So, that's kind of where I'm at. How am I overcoming it? I think the way I'm overcoming it is bit by bit.

Right now, I'm building the course, I'm outsourcing some tech stuff, and then I do think it's important for me to take responsibility for my students, especially in the beginning, to understand, are they getting their emails? Are they getting everything? And then how does that flow? And then just doing one thing at a time and realizing it doesn't need to all be done in a day, which is some of the sabotage. Like, "I want to jump ahead to $600,000 and I don't want to build the program."

 

How do your top 3 Archetypes work together or against each other?

I would say I'm very motivated by money first, and I have to convince myself that I also care about people. My clients wouldn't say that, but that's my own self-perception, right? My clients are like, "Oh my gosh, you're amazing." But I feel it in my external, in my client work, and this is certainly true for everyone, they see me and receive me in a very different way than my husband receives me. So, I can be a jerk over here, especially because he's a cumulator, and my clients are like, "You're amazing and you're so connected." So, when I was listening to the connector, I'm thinking of it more as a divine connection. That's how it resonates with me. That's what enables me to slow down, stay grounded, and even have that moment of self-reflection to go, one of my values is discipline, simplicity, discipline and simplicity. How can I live up to that value? Because it's not what I wake up wanting to do each day.

So, just remembering, how can I make things simple? And then exercise that discipline and get the help that I need in the areas that aren't easy for me, such as saving money. One of the ways I just did a mindset shift with that is my dog recently tore her ACL, and it was potentially going to be a surgery for like five or $6,000. In that very emotional moment, I realized that it's a luxury to have savings for my dog. So, that was like, "Oh, savings is luxurious," and now I've been able to shift into, "I'm going to hire somebody and make savings a priority so that I can afford any emergency that could ever happen," and specifically my animals are really important to me because I don't have my own children yet.

 

What would you say to someone who is looking to join Sacred Money Archetypes®?

I just wanted to revisit the question you asked Shay earlier about what I would say to somebody joining, because that's on my mind. I knew I was seeking out Money Bootcamp, but I wasn't necessarily seeking out SMA. I didn't know it existed. So, I can't say I was looking for anything, but I will say that it's the secret that I didn't know that I needed. 

"For me, it gave me ease in marketing and an opportunity to have a client centered experience when you're marketing, instead of just thinking everyone is like you. I'm realizing, because I'm the romantic and I'm always like, "Ease, ease," people are offended by ease sometimes. They're like, "Well, I'm glad that's your experience. I like working hard."

 

What have you changed in your business since discovering your Archetypes?

Then in terms of changing things in my business, what I realized I changed a lot was thinking I needed to do a group program with four Zoom calls with people showing up on the call with me coaching them.

What I changed to was permission to do a course similar to yours with a different price point, but offering one call a month, and realizing that that's okay, and realizing that's actually in the highest service to my clients, and me existing in this luxurious role and allowing myself to take breaks and do whatever I want also gives them permission to have that in their life. Before SMA, I would have put myself in that camp of being wrong because I'm not an accumulator and I didn't save my money, And now I realize that my life experience is valuable and it does offer value to other people just the way that I go about my life.

 

SMA Review - Catherine Lucktaylor

SACRED MONEY ARCHETYPES® REVIEW
Catherine Lucktaylor

Ceramics Artist, UK
Archetype: Alchemist

I’m Catherine, I live in Cornwall, UK, and I'm an Alchemist, Connector and Celebrity. I'm a ceramic artist. I also create installations. 

“I really got a lot out of SMA. I think it really helped me to understand myself and how I wanted to run my business. It gave me permission to run my business in my own way.” 

 

 

 

 How do your top 3 Archetypes work together or against each other?

So I'm an Alchemist, Connector and Celebrity and they're all pretty close together. I can't remember the exact figures, but there was only a few points between each of them. So they were very close together. And I think for me, it's really helped me understand and create a business model that works for me. And I think one of the things I think you said at one time, Denise, was about being an Alchemist and not promising you're going to follow up with something. And that was like, "Wow, I can do that?" And I really have to hold myself back and not say, "Oh yes and I'll send you this thing, or I'll send you that thing." No, I'm not going to do that because I'll just forget and just won't do it and don't want to do it. So that was a revelation. I absolutely love that.

"I think the way they work together for me, it's just incredible. I've got the Alchemist, which is the ideas and I create things and then I can put on the show and then I can show up for the private view and be the Celebrity, and the Connector will bring and attract all those people to it. And so that has been amazing for me. And it's really made me see how I can bring it all together and just allowing myself to just do what I want to do and say no to the things I don't want to do."

I think what I do still struggle a little bit with, I keep thinking I want, because I have this idea of like something that could be a membership that people could sign up for so I started a Patreon page, right? And I got one person sign up and I haven't done anything with it. This is like two years ago. And I've got someone paying me every month and I feel really bad, and I haven't done anything else with it. And I keep getting this one account, someone in America signed up. And then it's like, "Okay, well I did do that and I never followed through with it." It was a great idea and I spent ages creating it all and I had all these different options. And then it was like, "Yeah, I'm bored of that. I don't want to do that anymore."

But I keep thinking, "Oh, it'd be such a good thing to do." And I've got all these ideas, but I just know I'm not going to follow through with it, so I've realized that I work better doing projects. I will do this, for this amount of time, and I don't know if it'll continue in the future. I don't know if I'll do it again. It's like at the moment I've created a retreat. In September I'm doing this three-day retreat and it's working with art and creativity and grief rituals. And it's this beautiful place, but I don't know if I'll want to do it after I've done the first... I might do it again in the future, but I just don't want to have that pressure of knowing that I've got to do it again next year, because I might not want to. I'll probably be onto the next thing.

It is challenging, but I think my three seem to work really well together. And now I'm knowing and I'm seeing how they can work well together and I just love it and I really relate to them and I really love the magic of being an Alchemist. So I think for me, that is the big one because of what I do, I do Raku, so I'm working with all the elements and I take things out of the kiln when they're red hot and there's fire and there's smoke and it's really exciting.

And I do demonstrations, I have my open studios and people come and they watch me create these amazing things. And for me, it's kind of easy. I mean, I've been doing it for like 30-odd years, but I can create and people are like, "Oh, how do you get that color with Raku? And how do you do that?" It's just, "Oh, I just do it." Yeah. Magician. I just do it. And I love it, but I just know that I can't work under pressure. I need to just be able to create. It's like yesterday, I had a really bad day because I was having to work to a deadline, so it didn't work.

So this pot I was making for a gallery, they wanted it and they wanted this certain type. And because I had that pressure and I really didn't feel like being there, but I had to because that was the only day I had, it just didn't work. And I've just got to remember that it doesn't work for me. I hate working. I hate doing commissions because it's that external pressure of somebody wanting something a certain way. It just makes me tighten up and I can't be in that creative flow. It's just like, it's crazy. I just can't do it. Always goes wrong and I end up having to make loads of different versions and I'm working for a pittance because I'm having to make different ones until I get it right. And it's just like, "No, I'm just going to make something. If you like it, you can buy it."

So that's giving myself permission to just do that and to just know that I'm going to create something and people are going to like it and respond to it and not, not really... I mean, I do consider what people want and I do have that back and forth and that conversation with my customers. But I also know that, "Yes, but I'm the magician, I'm the Alchemist. I'm bringing something into being and no one could ever know or suggest what I could create and it is just going to come out and then I will find the people who want it." I think that is the thing for me. And that's what's really helped me.

 

What are some of the sabotages you experience because of your Archetypes?

First thing that comes to mind when you talk about sabotages was just thinking that I didn’t really value my ideas and my talents, because I've always been really good at making things and creating things. And I think for a long time, I just didn't charge enough for what I was making. And just having so many ideas, that I never really followed through on things. I never could finish anything because I start making something and then I'm kind of onto the next thing. So there was no kind of continuity and I think that's something I've learned how to create collections and have something from start to finish and not just put it aside for the next thing. I still do that a bit. I still do that a bit because I just get really excited. And also realizing that yes, I have loads of ideas, but I don't have to do them all and I don't have time to do them all.

And I think I used to get really just stuck on making a decision on moving forward because I didn't know what to go with, what idea I wanted to carry forward. So I never really did anything. So I think for a long time when I was younger, that really held me back and I think just not valuing myself and my talents. I think that's the main thing. And realizing there's always going to be more ideas and they're valuable and I do inspire people and that's okay. And I used to hate being the center of attention, but I still kind of find it a bit difficult, but I think knowing that I've got that Celebrity has allowed me to step into that and be in the limelight and it be okay. And like, yes, I can come and I can perform. And then I can just go away and be on my own for ages. And that's absolutely fine.

"And there are those two sides of me and just allowing myself to be in the limelight. I think I used to just hide away or give myself a really hard time. Like I'd overanalyze things I'd said or what I'd done and get really negative and give myself a really hard time instead of focusing on, "Well, people got really a lot out of that." Whether it was... Whether I thought it was any good, if people are kind of giving me really positive feedback, just accepting that and that's okay and I don't have to overanalyze and think, "Oh, I should have done it this way. I should have done it that way."




What is your favorite aspect of Sacred Money Archetypes®?

I really got a lot out of SMA. I think it really helped me to understand myself and how I wanted to run my business. And giving myself permission to run my business in my own way. And to understand what my business model is and how it works. So I really recommend it. I think it's fantastic. It works really well with Money Bootcamp and it gives you more of an insight into your own personality and creating a business that works for your life. I think that's the main thing.

And it's also helped me to be aware of what to say no to and what to say yes to. So when I get opportunities, I think about my archetypes and that helps me to think, "Well, is that a good fit for what I want or where I want my business to be going in the future?" Like for instance, I don't want to do a membership, even though it looks like on paper it would be an ideal thing for me. Actually, I know that I'm not going to follow through because I'm an Alchemist. So yeah. I really, really think it's been useful.

Behind the scenes of my latest launch

Hey there! 

I’d love for you to join me for a tour behind the scenes of my latest launch. 

As you’ve probably noticed, we’re in the middle of launching my new Sacred Money Archetypes® business course, and this has been my most fun, creative and complex launch ever. 

In this new episode, I share some of the things that went well, some of the things that didn't, and a massive big lesson in letting go.

The first time I launches this course, I made the big mistake of just launching it as me, a Ruler. I didn’t take the time to explain to the other Archetypes why they should join and what was in it for them. 

So this time, with the new course, I wanted to step into the shoes, literally, of each archetype, complete with costumes and styled sets. 

In creating this launch, I really pushed myself outside of my comfort zone and stepped into the shoes of each of the 8 Money Archetypes, which was so much fun!   

From head to toe, and surrounded by carefully selected sets and decor I set out to make this course more fun, and tangible for you, so that you will feel completely at home when you watch the video for your archetype. 

I have wanted to redo this course for a few years now, and I’m so happy I did things MY way, 

Have a listen, and get some inspiration and encouragement that you can (and should!) do things your way as well! 

In this episode, you’ll learn;

Why I had to fight my team to get this project off the ground
Which of the archetypes took me most outside my comfort zone
How the scenery and wardrobe changes truly changed how I felt inside and how I delivered each script
The thought and strategy behind the session for YOUR archetype
Ideas for how you can use the Archetypes to uplevel your next launch

SMA Review - Charlotte Pardy

SACRED MONEY ARCHETYPES® REVIEW
Charlotte Pardy

Psychotherapist/Mother Wound Specialist | UK
Archetype: Ruler

I'm Charlotte, and I am a psychotherapist who works with daughters of difficult mothers. So, I'm from Hertfordshire in the UK and I'm a Ruler and Nurturer, obviously, being in the counseling professions, and an Accumulator, and they definitely clash at times, and there's a lot of creative tension there.

“If you've ever been told that you're bossy, that you're too big for your boots, this is the place for you. It's a place where you can build back that confidence that's been chipped away and lean into who you are.”

 

 

Was there anything surprising when you found out about your Archetypes?

So, for me, it was a complete surprise that I was a Ruler. I thought being in such a caring profession and everything else, I would naturally come out as a nurturer. I really did think that that was the way that I was heading, but I think, obviously, nurturer's kind of mother-type figures, and what do mothers do? They rule their little empires, don't they, and I think really for me, that's what came through, this idea that as well as having that nurturing half of me, there's still the half that counts the pennies, makes sure there's food in the cupboard, keeps building on ideas, keeps helping people growing, and keeps bringing those ideas coming through. So, it was a surprise, but when I did look and read through, it did make perfect sense for that kind of matriarch figure for me.

"So, that's been something that I've connected with quite a lot, and it's been really a revelation for me, because it's allowed me to empower myself. And it also balances out a little bit of that nurturer tendency to overgive, because I think that there's a sense in all mothers at some point that you get a little frustrated with your kids and you're like, "I'm sick of tying your shoelaces for you. You need to tie them through yourself," kind of thing. So, I think that's where that balance and that tension between the two can fit quite well together."




What are some of the sabotages you experience because of your Archetypes?

So, for me, I think I've got quite a lot of tension between my Ruler and my Nurturer. My Ruler is fantastic. It gives me a lot of drive. Like Jess, I'm always learning things. I do get dragged into that I will do something myself just because it's quicker and easier than having to explain to somebody else, and I want that efficiency. I want it to have that elegant simplicity that you have in your head, that when you do it yourself, it just comes into it. I think what's difficult with the nurturing side of things, when you add that in, is that it can give you a tendency, especially when you're doing a lot anyway, to overgive, to overwork, and to not necessarily put you first, and because you know a lot, because you do all this extra learning, because you do fill in the gaps for yourself and you don't expect other people to do that for you, what can happen is that you get into that brain-picking kind of dilemma.

Denise's little handout on this has been an absolute revelation for me because it was really hard to say no. You know that it's not efficient; it's much better to do things in groups. You know that you have more impact and you have more reach, but at the same time, there's that tug on your heartstrings that says I really should be helping, and that's the part of the nurturer and the ruler that's at odds because the ruler wants to keep building, wants to keep hitting targets, and if you're constantly getting brain-picked and giving stuff away for free, it then kind of makes you feel like you're failing.

"And I've had to really put in a big boundary here around how much of my time I give for free and how I'm going to do that and how I say no."




What would you say to someone who is looking to join Sacred Money Archetypes®?

For me, if you've ever been told that you're bossy, that you're too big for your boots, this is the place for you, because it's a place where you can build back that confidence that's been chipped away, you can really lean into who you are, and the great thing is that knowing that you want to do something for yourself, knowing that you've got that big vision, that's fantastic.

"The thing that I found that was really great for me with SMA was how to put that together into a strategy, because when you've got ideas going here, there, and everywhere, you need discernment, you need to be able to get a plan behind that to make it actionable, and SMA helps you to do that step by step, and I really enjoy just sharing my money archetypes, talking about it, and just being okay with being me."

SMA Review - Jess Keating

SACRED MONEY ARCHETYPES® REVIEW
Jess Keating

Best Selling Author, Scientist & Soul Coach | Canada
Archetype: Ruler

My name is Jess Keating and I am really excited to be here today. And I am from, it's outside of Ontario, it's out of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. And I am a Ruler, a Maverick and an Accumulator.

"It is permission to be yourself. I would highly recommend it, especially to Rulers, because it is such an amazing way to know yourself better and then to actually put that self knowledge into action in your business to make more money."

 

 

Was there anything surprising when you found out about your Archetypes?

The thing, honestly, the thing that hit me first, it was like, 'Yep, that's me." And the second part of that was when we did the quiz. People are sharing their answers and all of these lovely women that I know were like, "Oh, I'm a Connector, I'm a Nurturer. And I'm whatever." And I was just like, "Am I a jerk?" And I remember just being like, "Oh, it's okay. I'm allowed to be this way."

 

What are some of the sabotages you experience because of your Archetypes?

So, yeah, I was going through the course earlier today and one of the things that came up was that you want a Ruler for that gentle butt kicking. And I was like, "Yep, that's okay." And I can recognize a lot of my sabotages around being a ruler, I don't actually think that the traits of the rulerness were the sabotage. It was my own sense of shame over them. If that makes sense. It was the feeling of, "Oh, I need to be more Connectory. I need to be more Nurturing or whatever" and not truly allowing myself to lean into my strengths there. The minute I hired somebody to do the nitty gritty tech stuff, that was just a huge, huge level up for me just being able to do that.

And recognizing, I think you also say we tend to do things the hard way or find the harder way to do things. And there's a line that you mentioned in it as well that was just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. And that for me, I have a real love of learning. I love to know, "Oh, how does this work? How does this work?" And I really had to start asking myself the question, say to myself, like, "Okay if you spent a few hours, you could figure this out." I could figure out how to set this up tech wise, or I could figure out how to dig into this person's personality and figure out how to sell them or whatever. But I had to ask myself, "Do I want to get good at this task?" And if it wasn't something that actually appealed to me, I had to give myself permission to just either outsource it or nine times out of 10, you could just not do that thing and your business is going to be fine.

 

What would you say to someone who is looking to join Sacred Money Archetypes®?

Oh gosh. So where to begin? I think if you are a Ruler, I believe that you are innately a visionary. I believe that you are an empire builder and that you are here to really shake things up a bit. And I have to say from my experience, all of the stuff that life is conditioning you to and telling you is a defect is actually really the gold mine that rulers have.

"So SMA is just such a fantastic place to step into and explore all of those parts of yourself that you maybe thought were not so great. You maybe thought that they were bugs in your system that you needed to fix, but instead that's how the system is built to work best. So being able to recognize that and see yourself mirrored, not only on paper in what you're seeing in all the materials, but also in the people who also identify as rulers, and all of the cool qualities that they embody, that broader sense in community and ecosystem of what rulers can accomplish when they lean into their gifts, when they work through all the self sabotages."

We can forget that not everybody thinks the way we do and that's a good thing, right? But it's finding a way to work with all of the community that you want in your life and in your business. And to not maybe leave people out that you didn't intend to, or to invite people in that would really make your business even richer. So as others have said, it is basically permission to be yourself that you didn't even realize you were waiting for. And I would highly recommend it, especially to Rulers, but pretty much across the board because it is such an amazing way to know yourself better and then to actually put that self knowledge into action in your business to make more money.

Why generic, cookie-cutter business advice won’t work

Hi there, 

I’m sure you’re not new to the online business world.

Like me, you’ve probably done a million courses on marketing, sales, and confidence. 

Or you’re constantly reading business and personal development books, listening to podcasts, and dreaming about the possibilities for your own life. 

And I bet you’ve done a lot of personality tests too. 

Most creative entrepreneurs I know are hungry for insights and advice on how to grow a business. You’re ready to develop more confidence or create new habits to grow into your full potential. 

Working for yourself is an incredible privilege – one that gives you creative freedom, uncapped earning potential, and the chance to make a significant impact. 

I know a lot is happening globally, but we still live in an incredible time. 

Creative people who have a dream have the tools and technology to make it happen – without significant investment or financial backing from investors. 

Imagine what our grandmothers could have created with all the tools we have available to us. 

Freedom, choice, and the privilege of experimenting with creative dreams. 

But here’s the big problem: 

How do you know what works?

How do you know whose advice to follow? 

And what do you do when you face that inevitable fear, resistance, and procrastination? 

Personally, I’ve wasted thousands of dollars following business advice that just didn’t feel authentic to me. 

Most business gurus teach what they know.

But ultimately, what works for them doesn’t automatically work for you. 

Your working pace, creative process, or motivation might be completely different from other people’s.

And it can be tough to find a mentor who looks like you or understands the stage of life and business you’re at.

So if you’re following cookie-cutter advice, it can lead to frustration or burnout. 

I discovered the best way to create a thriving business is unique to your money personality, and now I want to share the secret with you…

You can build your business on intuition or through painful trial and error…

You try to change who you are or copy the gurus.

Or you can short-cut that journey with a more personalized path for you. 

Taking your individual strengths, values, needs, and challenges into consideration. 

You still have to take responsibility for your results – but you don’t have to start from scratch.

To help you honor who you truly are and fast-track your success, I created eight video workshops - one for each Money Archetype - to give you tailored coaching on leveraging your strengths and making more money. 

Click here to take the Archetype Quiz and get your personalized training from me.

The complete FREE workshop is available now. 

Your Money Archetype impacts everything in your business. How you market yourself, how you price your products and services, and how much you allow yourself to earn.

The difference between those who continue to struggle and those who interrupt the pattern and turn things around is this:

People who become incredibly successful with money honor their true selves.

It’s time for you to discover your path of least resistance and your unique path to wealth.

P.S. Even if you’ve taken the quiz before and you think you know about your Archetype, I can not recommend enough that you take a closer look.

Every part of this free workshop is tailored to your Archetype so you get practical, real-world tips that you can immediately implement to make more money. 

Honestly, if all you do is take the workshop to see my 40+ costume and the different sets for each of the 8 Archetypes, it’s totally worth it. Huge fun. 

See you on the inside!

How Sacred Money Archetypes® can transform your business

Let’s dispel this big MYTH…

You don’t need to change who you are or have a particular personality type to succeed in business. 

But you do need to learn to leverage your unique strengths and do business on your terms. 

Maybe you’ve followed a successful business guru and implemented the business strategy they claim will make you millions, but it just didn’t seem to work for you.

Perhaps you’ve tried other courses and been left thinking, “Why hasn’t it worked for me? Look how successful they are”

If you’re like most of my clients before we work together, maybe you’re resigned to just having to work harder.

But you’re already working harder and longer, and the line between business and personal life is increasingly blurred. So you tell yourself that “it’ll get easier soon.” 

Before you know it, you’re approaching burnout (if you’re not already).

You’re doing business in a way that feels forced, stuck and unnatural to you. 

You’re doing tasks that are outside of your zone of genius, and you’re pushing through resistance and fear. 

You feel overwhelmed, overworked, frustrated, isolated, lonely, and confused. 

You know that something has to change… Now!

I want you to know that you don’t have to change who you are to be successful, but you do need to work to your strengths and do business in harmony with your Archetype. 

And I’ve got so many examples from my current clients to show you that it is possible to do business your way…

I’ve been doing $25,000 cash months

"I’m a rebel in my industry; I’ve always done things a little bit differently. I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum. For me, SMA was like a deep permission - I've literally been this way forever. And now it's really up to me to embrace it and bring it into every part of my business."

It really gives you the tools to work with yourself and trust that you really can do anything.

"I've loved the SMA course, it's been so good. It has revealed so much about what I have to work on. It’s helped me to see what is going on inside my head and to not let those shadow thoughts get in the way. It really has helped with my relationship with my fiance too, because now I know he's a Romantic and it's so much easier to deal with things together now."

I’m here to change the world!

"SMA has been a permission slip not to finish everything. I've got so many ideas and it’s taken me years to get to where I am now. As an Alchemist I realized I'm here to change the world. I’m now owning my space and I feel at peace."

I don't have to over give

"I will say it really gives you an insight. It gives you an insight into yourself already. You personally, and the people around you. And you start to realize that, oh my gosh, like I can't move forward if I don't have this knowledge."

I no longer work weekends &  increased my fees!

"It was interesting finding out I was Accumulator and realizing actually I'm quite good at numbers and quite frugal with it. Numbers, detail and caution are part of my personality. Since discovering SMA, I've moved to a coach consultant model, which has enabled me to massively increase my fees. And also, I've got happier clients. I've streamlined everything so I'm focusing on one target market and two main services. I've stopped working weekends and evenings."
