Planning to Go All In on Your Spiritual Business: Part One

I want to thank you for all of your kind words about the June Spirit Messages! It really means a lot to me because I showed up at a time when I typically would have retreated. My transparency is always met with love and I will continue to thank you for listening. This week’s topic is something I get asked about a lot, especially in the Spirit School Collective, my monthly membership community. Many of you ask me how to create a “corporate escape plan” to leave your jobs! I will share some of the things that I did to prepare when I left my corporate career to pursue mediumship and teaching full-time.    In this episode: I had no intention of leaving, just a knowing that I would enjoy my days more doing this work I began immersing myself in content and podcasts about the corporate escape Not everyone has the privilege and access I had to make this transition the way I did it I had been building my audience for years and my husband also has a full-time income For offline, I recommend getting involved in your community and even booking a local space My business started with referrals from clients and one Saturday a month You can build an online audience off or on social media On social media, choose a platform you like such as Instagram, Facebook or TikTok Off social media would be your newsletter, podcast or YouTube channel etc. Vanity metrics like the number of followers doesn’t determine if you get booked I have treated my online presence as a development blog, sharing my experiences It is important to start this now, so you have people to sell to when you make the leap I had a small but engaged audience of about 1500 followers when I went full-time There are some unattainable figures for how much savings to have to leave your job The amount you need to feel safe is personal and is something to figure out There are a lot of resistances that come up when you start considering leaving The external resistances were the consistency and benefits of corporate  Behind the layers, the root of the resistance was the fear of losing my house Calling out my fear out loud on my commute took the power away from it Doing it part-time brings clarity around what structure works for your goals Another tip is to apply for whatever credit you can get with your full-time employment Giving yourself specific timelines is exhausting and will make you feel like you’re failing You will know when it’s time, so be flexible and remember there is no rush On paper, it was not a good time when I left, but my podcast blew up and people were reaching out I hadn’t considered teaching online but I followed the lead of what my audience asked for   𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗦 The Spirit School Collective Visit https://myspiritschool.com/ for all courses and upcoming programs
