The Cyclical Nature of Money: How to Navigate Economic Shifts with Strategy & Consciousness

Dear friends

I’ve seen many clients and those I come across, struggle financially in their small business the last couple of years. As an accountant I need you to know that the SAME thing has happened to big corporate businesses. Have you seen the layoffs that happened in tech? You absolutely shouldn’t blame yourself. What you should do is notice the pattern.

Our shared reality experiences fluctuations in economic activity, prosperity and the availability of money. Some economists refer to this to the “boom and bust” cycle. As spiritual people we understand that “as above, so below” which means that there are energetic mechanisms that sit behind these cycles. We need to understand these before we can learn how to MANAGE them.

Firstly, energetic cycles reflect the law of rhythm. Everything in the universe follows a rhythm, even our breath as we inhale and exhale. Our economy follows an inhale and exhale just like every other living thing. It has bursts of activity followed by periods of rest. Summer vs winter. Daytime vs nighttime.

Secondly, these cycles feel much more extreme in certain situations. Entrepreneurship is one of them. And this is normally because our businesses are not big enough to withstand the volatility.

If no one has told you this before, let me be the first to tell you - it’s much easier to run a giant corporation than it is to run a small business. This isn’t a matter of opinion, it’s borne out in the research. Size makes you more resilient to economic headwinds.

(Incidentally, this is one of the arguments for scaling your business, as scaling usually creates more long term sustainability and resilience).

Thirdly, energy has a tendency to gather momentum. This means that if you are on a downward spiral, things usually get worse before they get better. It’s also why negative energy should be avoided as much as possible, ESPECIALLY if you need to hold your frequency for a big manifestation.

So what does this mean in practice? What should you take away?

1. We should EXPECT the economy to be cyclical.

We never know the exact timing of a downturn but we should always expect and plan for one. This is hard for most people because we have an almost superstitious fear of planning for the worst, as if doing so brings the worst to us! It’s extra hard for spiritual folk because many businesses are small and don’t allow for extra resources beyond the necessities.

2. If we expect a cyclical economy that means we can plan for it.

Planning can take different forms but can include savings, insurance, or other kinds of investments. If you didn’t manage to do this previously, now is a good time to start for the NEXT downturn which is coming. (Remember it always comes).

3. Lastly, we need to remember that recessions hit every person differently.

Some businesses are actually designed to make more money during these times. In my company, our insolvency department is doing amazingly well! You can still make and receive money in a downturn if you know where to look and are open to pivoting.

In fact the one major outcome of every recession is CHANGE. Pivoting is almost mandatory.

I’m not here to gaslight you that you can manifest your way out of an economic downturn, but there are things that we can do to ride the wave much better than we currently do.

P.S. My next challenge is on The Shadow of Money and it will start in September. If you’ve done shadow work before, you likely haven’t done it in a way that focuses on money. Get ready to have your mind blown and your perspectives shifted. Awareness is the prerequisite to change. If you sign up before 8/8, I will gift you a FREE Personalised Manifestation Strategy (worth $333!)

P.P.S There has been a noticeable uptick in enquiries about working 1:1 with me in my capacity as an accountant, management consultant + spiritual teacher, so I am opening some slots on the calendar. If you are looking for this kind of support just let me know and we can discuss.

As always my inbox is open for replies and feedback.

With love
