Welcome to the Cash Flow and Manifestation Project podcast. My name is Katie Smith and I am a manifestation in Mindset Coach. I'm a mom who successfully took one of those little side hustles and built it into a six-figure business with the tools of manifestation and some spiritual will. Every week, I'll share up lifting conversations, interviews and talks centered on unlocking your inner magic, pushing past limits and creating a reality even wilder than your dreams. If you enjoy listening to topics on money, mindset and manifesting, then you've come to the right place. I'm obsessed with helping women transform to their next level of freedom and wealth. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. Now let's begin.

Speaker 1: 0:43

Hey friend, if you're anything like me, you might have hit the point where you feel tired of your money situation. It feels like your money is stuck in a rut, but you're ready to attract more cash flow effortlessly, without requiring any more work, your time or having to post three times a day. I get it because I've been there, and that is why I have created my Manifest Money Everyday Guide. I used to have all sorts of doubts and limiting beliefs around money. You know those sneaky little money blocks that hold us back from living our best lives financially. Yes, those, but with my Money Guide in your hands, it's like having a personal money coach right at your fingertips. Now let me set this straight this is not your typical stuffy financial advice within this Money Guide, because all of that stuff is kind of a waste of time. It's more like chatting with a friend who totally gets where you're coming from, and let me tell you it's jam packed with practical tips and exercises that help you identify those sneaky money blocks and get rid of them for good. But here's the best part this is all around rewiring your brain to attract money with ease. It's like flipping a switch in your brain and suddenly you start seeing opportunities everywhere. It's like the universe starts sending you cash flow your way without you doing anything more than releasing your own personal money blocks. Yes, it's that simple. Imagine waking up every morning with a sense of excitement, confidence, assurance, knowing that money is flowing into your life effortlessly because you said so. That's the kind of vibe my Money Guide brings a feeling of abundance and possibility. So if you're ready to say goodbye to those annoying money blocks and hello to a life of financial abundance, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of my Manifest Money Every Day Guide today. Trust me, your bank account will thank you later. You can find the link in the show notes.

Speaker 1: 2:21

Now let's head into the episode. Welcome back. I am so honored and happy that you are here. Thank you for taking time to listen in to today's episode, where I want to talk about my favorite subject money and wealth expansion. So it's going to be a really fun topic.

Speaker 1: 2:40

But my goal with this podcast truly and as I pivoted recently to talking about cash flow, cash flow manifestation my goal is to make you ridiculously wealthy by having small mental shifts. Another way to say it is shifting your paradigm, which is essentially your mindset, into thinking differently. Because, my friend, it just takes little shifts to quantum leap and completely change your life. I hear this time and time again that people are looking for like some secret sauce or some big strategy that they don't know yet. And I got to tell you that's not how it works at all. It's actually like the small disciplinary steps that you can take every single day and basically self discipline. Like master your emotions and your thoughts today better than you could the day before, like it's you against you. That is truly how manifestation and quantum leaping and creating a life of your dreams consist of. It's the small disciplinary actions that you take every single day, and it might be hard for you to even digest that because it's kind of like no way, like I've been doing the things and it's not happening yet. That's OK, you're just learning this, You're you're figuring it out and it just takes practice. Think of it as an experiment, like what's the worst that can happen. Your life can radically change in the best way possible by implementing some of these things and working on it and doing it for you, because I bet you feel better when you start working on this stuff. This is everything I have covered, by the way, in my 30 day manifestation acceleration program, where I literally hold your hand and send you daily prompts in the form of an email and then you get all 30 days to repeat this process however many times you want.

Speaker 1: 4:26

And I just gotta like talk about this program for a second, because it's changing so many people's lives, because the affirmations in the journal, prompt in the intention setting of the day and then the recap of evidence at the end of the day. It's meant to build upon one another and people are having crazy transformations like. It gets me so jazzed up because this is literally all I want. I just want people to take their control back and that program is changing their lives. It's so beautiful, it's so, so good. You can check out that in the show notes. If you feel compelled or any nudge to check that out, you can check that out in the show notes. Also, you know about my money guide. That thing is also flying off the shelves and I'm hearing a lot of great feedback, which is so cool, because you actually step into an empowered position with money, rather than feeling like a victim to money or seeing money as shameful or anything like that, because money is none of those things. We just have been programmed to feel or think that way with money. Alright, enough about all that.

Speaker 1: 5:23

I want to talk to you about mindset, about wealth mindset, wealth, expansion, and I want you to ask yourself a couple of questions. So I'm going to list off some questions and I'm just going to kind of riff and I'm going to talk about my own experience with this. So my number one question for you is do you have the goals of a millionaire but the mindset of a broke person and really have self compassion in this question? If you want to listen to this episode a couple of times journal on it. I definitely recommend it. But even if you're driving like just I want you to like kind of start to think about things like do you have goals of a millionaire but you have the mindset of a broke person?

Speaker 1: 6:05

And this question is one I don't even know how I came up with that, this like honestly, this question, because I very much was someone who had that but I never framed it like that and, with the help of divine God, source my guides. They kind of like had that drop down and I was like I need to talk about this on my podcast because I think it's a very important question to ask yourself. And if you're a client or a student of mine, you know I'm very big on you got to ask good questions to get good answers. If not, you're wasting everyone's time and I say this with the most love. But like victims and people who live in fear, scarce in doubt, ask the like pathetic questions. I'm just going to say that because, like you know, is this good enough or what do you think? And it's like those are horrible questions to ask that like if you want to get farther, you need to ask questions that are going to get you a better answer. And I think this question really hits that on the head, because I was one who had huge, audacious goals. I mean, you know this if you've listened to this podcast for any like the time, you know this and I was operating from someone who did not align with those goals. I was operating as someone who actually was like broke, and I shared this in my Facebook group of my next level experiment for 2024. If you're not in that group, what are you doing? Get in there. It's so fun. I shared that.

Speaker 1: 7:31

You know, when I first started my entrepreneurial journey, even like halfway through, I kept looking for things containers, coaches that'll get me to the next level. But this is was my mindset. As I would enter into those containers or enter into working with a coach, I literally was like, yeah, I make no money. I'm like the probably like the most inexperienced green person here. Are they going to accept me because I like don't know what I'm doing and I'm just trying to make money? So bad. I literally had that mindset when I was making $5,000 a month and I was telling myself that I wasn't at $10,000 a month yet $15,000 a month yet and so I had that mindset. This realization hit me as I am now a part of a different container, with other women who are really trying to expand their wealth, like, like big time.

Speaker 1: 8:19

Because I believe in surrounding yourself with people as you're trying to reach your new level, doing it by yourself, and I'm essentially saying you're not taking it seriously because we can't. I say that was so much love and I get it, finances and all these other things and my spouse isn't on board or whatever, but like, ultimately, at the end of the day, those are a ton of excuses for you to just play small and not create any change within. And if you don't create any change within, you're not going to create any change without. You got to pay to play seriously and you got to surround yourself with the people who are going to keep your vibration high, your frequency high. They're going to keep you thinking outside the box. They're going to keep you in that realm of possibility rather than probability, which is what your family is going to keep you into. Your job is going to keep you into feeling scarce, lack, doubt, because that's what 90% of our society and our world operates on.

Speaker 1: 9:11

So I cannot stress enough about surrounding yourself with the right people to keep you focused on your goals. They're not going to like, hold you accountable or anything. There are parts of that but, like, outside of holding accountability, it's literally just reminding yourself that you're going all in on yourself, rather than like, let me pick people's brains and consume 80,000 podcast episodes on what I want to do and follow all these people and you know, look through a lens that I'm like getting closer to it, but you're actually not moving. You're not getting your butt off the seat to get in action. Do you know what I mean? And I know you feel my heart on that, so, like, please take that for what it is. But going back to what I was saying about the Facebook group is I shared this with that group because I was like it's crazy. I just realized that, like I did not identify as someone who made money when I was making money. So you know, I talk about the law of attraction all the time. That, essentially, was giving me evidence left and right, thanks to the law of attraction, that I wasn't making money, because I would completely disregard the money I was making in my business as my own boss, with my own programs, and I was telling myself I wasn't making any money because I wasn't at my goal yet. Like it's laughable. I even I think she listens to my podcast.

Speaker 1: 10:33

It was a coach I used to work with one-on-one. She's fabulous, I adore her. And I remember when we were working together and it was like three months, three months, and we had a six-month contract one-on-one together, like best investment ever. One-on-one work is so my jam, I love it. And she was like Kitty, you're telling me you make, um, what was I making at the time? Like seven, eight a month. And she's like you make that. Like you've been telling me you make like $2,000 a month. Like what do you mean? This other $6,000? And I was like, oh yeah, well, that's just from this and that's from that, but I don't really count that because it's not from this direct product that I just launched and I've been launching and it's on evergreen and I'm not making money.

Speaker 1: 11:15

And like it was crazy, she was like what are you talking about?

Speaker 1: 11:19

You're making money. Like you got to understand how the universe works. The universe is like you don't think you're making money? Then I'm going to continue to show you that you're not making money. And it's crazy, like, literally, looking back at that time, it's crazy and it's because I identified as someone who didn't make money, even though I was making money and like I hope this is connecting and this is like clicking for you because you might be in that same position. You're not at your income goals yet and so, because you're not at your income goals yet, you think you're not making money when in reality you are making money and you got to start focusing on the money you're making so that it can compound and make more through the law of attraction. Right, and I just wanted to riff on that a little bit. And this is where I want to end, because I also want you to think about when it comes to making the money you want, really, really think about how you want to make that money.

Speaker 1: 12:13

So, if it's 5k months, 10k months, 15k months or somewhere in between or somewhere over, how do you want it to feel? Do you want it to feel like you have to post three reels a day for the rest of your life, like I did that for a period of time and it worked well for me? I'm not going to say that it did not work well, but it was sure damn exhausting and I was like something's falling out of alignment here, I'm having too much resistance, and so I scaled way back and I trusted that I could scale way back because I didn't want to have to make three reels a day for the rest of my life for me to make significant income online. Now, this is a fine line. Respect Instagram.

Speaker 1: 12:56

That doesn't mean like go throw your deuces up and like throw your strategy out the window or something like that. That is not what I'm saying. I do think there's a high level of trust involved with what you bring to the table and wealth energetics along with your strategy. But if your strategy doesn't feel good and you're just actually exhausted and you're fighting with your husband or you're, you know, being short with your kids because you didn't get your content up, that's where the problem is. Because do you want to make 10k months, 15k months, 20k months in that energy where it's like exhausting, or Do you want to play around with making 10K, 15k, 20k months rooted in pleasure and fun and play? This is what I'm all about.

Speaker 1: 13:41

This is how I want to help people transform their lives, where they're waking up to an alarm clock set at whatever time of day. Maybe they don't even have an alarm clock. They wake up with the sunshine coming through and they don't have a damn thing to do that day because they are so wealthy and their schedule is wide open where they can make homemade pancakes rather than the frozen pancakes that you throw in the microwave for a minute. Or then they're drinking their coffee, and it's hot because they are in a position to where they don't have to scramble and their kids are going crazy. There's just an overarching piece filled throughout their home and joy where no one's stressed Meaning to drink your coffee. Hot doesn't have to be cold, doesn't have to be forgotten about because you're the last one if you're a mom, you know exactly what I'm talking about where everyone's needs are met first, except for yours. That doesn't have to be that way, and usually that happens that way because stress around finances.

Speaker 1: 14:43

What if you no longer had to live your life through the stress of financials? You were able to just live your life abundantly and constantly find evidence of where you have so much abundance in your life. Where then the law of attraction was like dang. She's just really happy and she sees everything as grateful and she's neutral around things. She's not desperately chasing or holding on to something like money. So I'm just going to feed her more, because this is where she vibrates at. She's got peace, flow, love, ease, joy, freedom. That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1: 15:21

So think about that, think about all these questions I'm asking you today. Do you see money as a tool for freedom and empowerment, or is it a source of stress and limitation? Think about all of these things right, because this is going to give you an idea as to how you operate around your business, because money is required in business and if you don't think the two are related, my friend, you are mistaken and I want to help you get out of that and live a life of massive abundance, rooted in pleasure, rooted in fun and ease and play. Where you get to your only job is to be in the moment with your kids, with your spouse, with your mom, with your dad, with your dogs, with your horse, with whatever. That's your only job Like. Imagine what would that be like, what would that feel like? That's the vibe. Okay, this was fun.

Speaker 1: 16:16
