Of all the marketing, money, and success blocks, THIS one is the hardest to self-identify but it's one of the most common.
It might be a stretch for some of you, but I see it all the time.
If you're familiar with the Universal Laws, you're likely familiar with the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy.
Essentially everything is energy and energy is always moving.
One of my favourite lessons in Taoism is that of the empty cup. A cup has no potential and no use if full.
Only when it is empty can it have the potential to offer service, to bring something in, and bring in energy.
That's why Taoists say to be an empty cup.
Now stay with me here.
Money is energy, creativity is energy, love is energy. It's all energy in different forms.
What does this have to do with you, your business, and your success?
You can't be seeking one type of energy (money) while actively blocking another type of energy (love). It just doesn't work.
You can't be working your butt off on your brand, trying to bring in success while sabotaging your ability to receive.
The Law of Reciprocity states:
When you give to others, whether it’s love, kindness, help, or material support, you create an energetic flow that often returns to you in some form. This can be direct (from the same person) or indirect (through other sources or situations).
I saw it with a friend of mine who hustled HARD but while hustling had less time for friends and family, no interest in dating, and stopped doing all the extra-circular activities she loved. And her business started to tank.
She worked harder and hustled harder, and her business continued to suffer.

There was no flow of energy. There was no giving and therefore there was no space for her to receive money.
It makes sense on a different level right? You're a person who is open to receive and gives without expectation, you're more likely to be referred and invited to places where you network.
Ways in which you may be blocking energy could include:
Of all the mindset blocks I address in this series, this can be the hardest to wrap your brain around and it's where I see the most resistance.
We were taught that if we hustle harder, if we work more, and if we DO more then we should see more results.
But I'm telling you that my clients see wild and immediate results by looking at their own energy blocks.
So ask yourself, are you blocking the flow of energy in your life?
