Melissa Ford Service Interview

Melissa Ford is remarkable. No, seriously. She’s one of the most amazing women I know, and I know a lot of amazing women. It was such an honor to talk with her about service and to gain clarity around this widely misunderstood behavior and quality.

On the (rather early) morning of our scheduled conversation, the first thing Melissa said to me was

I would only get up this early for Arminda or Santa Claus.

And that is a high praise I’m taking to the bank!

My recommendation is that you listen more than once and really let sink in these refined nuances of what service really means and allow yourself time to identify areas in your world (professional and personal) where you can make some adjustments.

What You Will Discover In This Episode

  • Widely misunderstood definition of service = means giving and giving and giving with expectation of nothing in return
  • Lots of expectations built into that model & it drains your energy, makes you small and your business doesn’t grow
  • This definition doesn’t work, especially when I need clients and money
  • Operating under this definition creates resentment, manipulation and strategies to get something back
  • True Definition of Service = Giving/helping/loving fearlessly without attachment to an outcome
  • Money is part of service.
  • Can’t serve unless people are willing to pay for your product or service
  • Nobody values anything if it’s free
  • Must include yourself in the equation of service
  • Service and love mean letting go of your ego = that’s true power
  • Love for a living because love does pay the mortgage
  • Love expresses itself in many ways; there is not just one version of love

Kamin Samuel Interview

I love Kamin Samuel. Really. She’s remarkable. This was my second opportunity to interview her about money and money fears and our relationship with money. I encourage you to listen to our first conversation, recorded with the astonishing Elatia Abate. (I’m not at all biased when it comes to my friends, as you can tell.)

During this discussion, Kamin and I spend a lot of time discussing the power of language and the words we speak and what that has to do with money.

We also get to talk about wealth and abundance and what those two words’ meanings include and the energy of money.

Kamin’s Recommended System for Increasing Wealth:

  1. Read “The Wealth Exercise” from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy.
  2. Each morning do “The Wealth Exercise” for at least 30 seconds, ideally a few minutes. Kamin only uses the word wealth. Ask yourself, “what would it feel like to have…”
  3. Write down any inspirations or ideas that come forward, like to call or email someone, get your resume together, make an appointment of some kind
  4. Take action. The goal is to take action that day and watch what magic can happen.
  5. HAVE FUN and step into the flow of experiencing more wealth and success in your life. Enjoy!

I’m also excited to tell you Kamin and I have a couple of surprises up our sleeves coming to you soon. If you have additional questions for Kamin, please let me know!

Abundance is not something we acquire; it is something we tune into.

Abundance vs Lack

By

When a situation arises we tend to immediately see the negative and the LACK: what we don’t have because of what’s happened TO us.

Author Lynne Twist provides some invaluable insight around this tendency when she suggests,

“True abundance flows from enough; never from more.”

Join me as I break this concept down into four real-life scenarios and how we might apply the wisdom of “enough.”

Loving you,
arminda
