Balancing Passion with Financial Success

October 29, 20244 min read

When you're building your business, it's important to remember: the more you let go of rigid outcomes—especially monetary ones—the faster you’ll grow.

Follow Your Dreams AND Fund Your Life - You CAN Have Both

In today’s world, money is a fact of life, and for anyone pursuing a passion-fueled or heart-centered business—especially one with a spiritual focus—there’s often a cultural expectation to lean toward generosity, to avoid “overcharging,” and to put others first.

But the reality is, we’re not in a barter economy, and you need money to live.

For lots of us, this can create indecision: do you follow your dream, or do you go after financial stability?

It may feel like you need to abandon your passion to make a living, or you might wonder if your dream business could ever sustain you. But the truth is, it’s not “all or nothing”—it’s “all or something”!

This journey doesn’t have to mean going all-in immediately or quitting your day job overnight. It might mean building your passion project as a side hustle while working full-time, gradually moving toward a sustainable balance.

The belief that success requires an all-or-nothing approach has held many people back, especially female small business owners. But it’s absolutely possible to build both your dream and your financial security.

Align with Your Passion and Work Smart

Your passions, talents, and unique interests exist for a reason. Following them, instead of what you think you “should” do, creates a path to fulfillment.

As many successful people say, “Where focus goes, energy flows.” It’s a reminder that what you put your attention on will grow—even if you can only give a little bit of attention right now. Success doesn’t always come overnight, and that’s okay.

Building a business you love, instead of just one that just makes money, creates alignment in your life. When you pursue work you’re passionate about, the energy you bring attracts clients and customers who resonate with your joy.

People are drawn to someone who’s passionate, who loves what they do, and they’re more likely to support and buy from someone whose energy is magnetic.

The Mindset Shift for Success

When you're building your business, it's important to remember: the more you let go of rigid outcomes—especially monetary ones—the faster you’ll grow.

Releasing some of that pressure allows you to focus on your passion, and when you genuinely love what you do, others will feel that energy and want to support you.

Practical Steps for a Sustainable Dream Business

Of course, passion alone isn’t enough.

Success comes from a blend of passion and smart business practices. Here are a few key steps to support both:

1. Learn to Manage Your Money: Budget not out of fear but out of awareness. Financial literacy is crucial for maintaining stability as you grow.

2. Trust Your Gut on Pricing: When setting prices, listen to your intuition and charge what feels right. Being connected to your worth helps create a business that’s fair and sustainable for both you and your clients.

3. Master Marketing Skills: Marketing isn’t optional; it’s a skill that can amplify your reach and impact. Authentic marketing is about sharing what you love with people who want it, not “selling” in the traditional sense.

4. Show Up as Your True Self: People buy what they want, not just what they need. When you bring your genuine self to your business, it becomes uniquely valuable. Your energy and passion are what people crave.

By combining your passion with practical skills and trusting the process, you can fund your life by following your dreams. It may take time, but the journey is worth it.

Do you know ALL the pieces that need to be in place to experience this well-rounded, balanced lifestyle?

Lots of coaches talk about the concrete, practical steps to take you to wealth. (Pssst... They don't work as well on their own)

Lots of coaches talk about the flow you want to be in to RECEIVE that wealth. (The structure IS needed to HOLD that flow...)

Lots of coaches talk about the things you should DO to have balance.

Lots of coaches talk about the energy & vibrational alignment you want to be aligned with what you're receiving.

Not one coach that I have hired (and multi passionate, ADHD, mani-gen me has hired many), has EVER talked about my 'magic' ingredient.
