Colours of Wealth

Reaping the rewards of ORANGE

By Whitney Hammond

As business owners, we frequently hear the term “Take your business to the next level.” In relationships, we hear the same term. But what does it mean? As creatives, we are always thinking of new ideas, downloading and sharing our discoveries, and in relationships looking for acceptance and unconditional love.

Well then, Orange is just the colour for us! It’s flamboyant and ignites the social bee and creative bug that resides in us. It even ignites our hormones!!

In this space, we creatives can really be in our zone of genius, and surprisingly reap rewards that originally, we were not seeking.

Let’s take a look at this.

Everything is about growth, right? Wrong. Ever struggle with the polarity of being active and getting things done versus indulging in laziness and inactivity? Any of us can get stuck in this zone. It happens. And we need a way out. Many women, including myself, became stuck in a marriage where we followed an old message that led us to co-dependently relying on our partner’s income, not feeling in love, and not having the confidence to propel. I know this, I experienced this decades ago. And my zone of genius was dead. Coming from this place reduces us to survival mode. It dulls our soul. We have lost touch with our magic. It does not have to be this way.

To be alive is to grow. It is to thrive. It is to create. It is to generate. And what we give out, we take back in spades! Orange is extravagant!! Re-activating our creativity is our lifeline. Here is how I made the change:

6 STEPS TO BLISS, CREATIVITY & WEALTH

Step 1

FOCUS ON EXPANSION

- I had to shift my thinking from barely surviving to “I am ready to thrive.” Negativity flattens creativity. Everything really begins with mindset. Choose a positive mantra.

• I am ready to break out and show the world want I have

• I am building a machine that will create recurring income

• I have so many ideas creating money in flow

Implement a new daily mindset. Release fear. Embrace expansion. Whatever mantra speaks to you, create it, say it daily, post it on your mirror and believe it!

THINK BIG. If the WHY is big enough, the HOW will show up.

Step 2

EXUBERATE PASSION, ALLOW FORGIVENESS

- Believe in yourself. I achieved reaching Gr X piano at the Royal Conservatory. I found that “if I could hear it, I could play it.” THEN, as an adult, I found that “if I could see it, I could make it.” Dream big and imagine how you want to be in this world.

How many people do you want to serve?

How much money do you want to make?

Would you love to be free of past transgressions?

You must believe in your service. Is it not the best idea ever?

Let’s Go. You built it. You love it. Let it rip!

Step 3

IDEAS, IDEAS, IDEAS

-Expand your Business. We are always in creation mode. The world will never have too many innovative ideas. The more our mind focuses on designs and processes, the more will come to fruition. I, like other successful entrepreneurs, threw myself into my business and did not stop until I realized that I needed another “me.”

Stop at nothing

Have ideas flowing, customers flowing, money flowing

Develop the mantra, “IN THE FLOW.” This is what will take us to the next step.

Step 4

LEVERAGE

- Once realizing I needed another “me,” it was time to leverage.

Attract a team, even short contract workers. When business is flowing, here is the time to leverage. This is the time to ask for help, hire one person at a time- even if it is contract work to start but build on this momentum. Keep pushing and expanding.

Step 5

THINK MASSIVE WEALTH

-We bring about what we think about. Put 20% of your sales away into a secret nest egg. No 20%? Increase your price.

Creativity is not a commodity, it is not traded at a discount or sold to the lowest bidder.

The best clients will pay the highest price.

Remember to think, “MONEY IN FLOW.”

Step 6

RECIPROCITY

-The more we give, the more we receive. Whether we give love, or give service, or give money to charity, it will come back to us in spades.

Surround yourself with orange. It is the perfect colour to bring you the ingredients to

• Attract awesome people

• Break down the barriers that kept you stuck

• Make the powerful statements needed to speak your truth

• Bring your dream project to market

• Surround yourselves socially to unveil your brand

• Encourage community and team work to bring your creation to market

• Speak freely to encourage financial allure

• Save your money! Seek financial independence. Money attracts more money.

• Attract a great love partner!

As a woman, I learned to really to dig my heals into the ground to Step into my power, rip away the chains of codependency and stand my ground. As creatives, not everyone sees it our way, BUT, when we walk the walk, hold unconditional acceptance, and believe in the models of expansion, NOTHING will hold us back!! Imagine unlimited creativity when stepping into our zone of genius.

Take your life to the next level! I’ve done this. It started with making healthy decisions, focusing on growth, not taking no for an answeranywhere in my life, and socking money away, one dollar at a time. Financial independence allows for opportunity and opportunity fills us with anticipation. And anticipation is one of the highest levels of positivity to live in which lets the universe know,

WE ARE READY TO RECEIVE

Change your mindset, enjoy your life, come alive, hang out with creative successful business owners. Pinch yourself, you are alive.
