3 Golden Keys to Using Your Voice to Boost Business

Recently I needed to tell someone that I was sorry ('Sorry for acting like a jerk' would have actually been the best phrase). You would've thought I was about to be executed the way I was dragging my feet. No matter how hard it felt I knew I needed to do it because not speaking those words would have toxic energy over-spilling into my body, my business and my success. That's a price I'm no longer willing to pay.

The fifth energy point is located at the base of the throat and it's quite powerful. Most people have a hard time believing this has anything to do with business success. I often hear, "What does my voice have to do with my business or getting more clients or a promotion. Don't I just need a compelling marketing message and leave it at that?" The energy of your voice is everything when it comes to business success, my friend, everything.

There's a belief out there that a your life energy is limited. This is often used as an excuse (usually a sign of something deeper that's being avoided): "It's not worth saying anything. I need to save my energy". Energy isn't limited. It's either flowing or it's blocked.

So what blocks energy? Holding back. Simple enough.

When you're afraid to speak your energy flow becomes very restricted. The constriction of the fifth energy point manifests in physical complaints such as sore throat, stiff neck and in characteristics such as acting shy, untruthful, incommunicative, introverted and unresponsive. Tightness is evident everywhere. Or the energy point can swing the other way out of balance: over-eating/drinking, gossiping, excessive talking, constantly interrupting, being critical of self, of others...

Neither extreme feels aligned for greater client or prosperity attraction, does it?

Ironically when you lose touch with your fifth energy point it's usually because you're trying to avoid conflict, don't want to hurt someone's feelings, or be rejected (you want to keep yourself safe), but you end up doing so much more harm than good. Tightness activates fear of expansion and that's your own success sabotage in action. The less energy you spend on speaking your truth, the less you have to spend. (Read that again. It's key.)

Your Call To Action:

Here are 3 Golden Keys to Using Your Voice to Boost Business:

1) If a tough truth must be voiced (a partnership isn't working out, payment needs to be received from a client, a staff or team member needs to be let go) say it WITHOUT anger, revenge or hurting the person you're speaking to. Write it down first if this will help.

2) Be generous with genuine praise and appreciation often. (this is actually even more powerful than being generous with money). We are all eager for praise and most of us get much less than we deserve.

3) Make eye contact when you speak to someone. Look into the person's left eye. Energy studies show that this allows the other person to really feel heard. This is extremely powerful when used at in-person networking events or anytime you're talking about your business with someone face to face.

Please know, I speak from experience when I say that fusing power into your fifth energy point is not something that necessarily happens overnight especially if it's been blocked for some time but, trust me, your business really starts to click for you when you truly begin to harness this energy. Miracles start to happen in your business - BIG TIME.
