Illusion of Success and the Iceberg Content in relation to the spiritual industry, health, and wellness industry. Why the illusion of success is such a huge problem in the online business world and the spiritual sector today.

Why the Iceberg Concept of Success helps us see a much wider and deeper perspective of what success in business and life often takes.

What is Success?

Success is often regarded as a specific state or condition when one reaches a certain level of expectation.

However, the reality is, that success means different things to different people. To me, success is living with a certain level of joy and sense of fulfillment, living my purpose, and achieving certain dreams or ambitions.

What is Business Success?

Business success can also mean different things for different types of businesses.

For example, many heart-based holistic and spiritual businesses have a strong desire to make a difference in people’s lives in a way that aligns with their core values and ethics.

Many healers and therapists often arrive on the healing or spiritual path due to their own life challenges. And have a strong desire to help others out of their own pain and suffering. A significant reason so many spiritual businesses are strong caregiver archetypes and wounded healers.

They want to create a living doing what they love and what their heart and soul are guiding them to do. Helping others and making a difference in the world while making a living can be enough to help them feel they have achieved that certain expectation of success.

Other types of businesses, see business success when they have reached a certain level of profit or sustainable growth. Those coaches, businesses, and masterminds whose main focus is all about achieving those 10k, 20k, or 50k months. Mainly financially motivated and led. This type of motivation and desire is often strong in many leader and ruler archetypes, or even influencer archetypes.

The Illusion Of Success

Sadly, the Illusion Of Success has never been as strong as it is today. Especially in the online world of illusory truth effect; where false realities, manipulative marketing, and dishonest branding has become the norma in social media and digital marketing.

Although a high level of success in your spiritual business is possible when you are fully aligned and committed. In the modern world of illusion, where we are encouraged to filter and alter our face, our body, and use a fake background to create a phony perception of the reality of our life.

Where strangers on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok see a tiny glimmer into our world and make up their own perceptions and projections. And a generation of business and marketing coaches implying you can reach 10k a month, no matter what your level of expertise or what you’re selling.

This illusion of success has created a mass problem, in fact a lot of damage to much of the coaching, wellness, and spiritual industry.

I have met many people who have given up well-paid jobs or careers, falling for the illusion of instant success.

The illusion of success that it is is a quick and easy way to build a healthy, successful income almost overnight, even if you don’t have the skills, expertise, or gifts

The Iceberg Concept helps us examine mire closely at the reality of business, what it really takes for most companies to achieve success.

The Soul-Aligned Business Success

Even the most soul-aligned business that is is living it’s purpose has challenges. Areas of investment and mastery that most of the world never sees, the inner work, shadow work, the daily running and costs of your business and marketing your clients don’t see. All the stuff even your fellow coaches, healers and therapist don’t see.

Because we all are unique, our business is unique, how we work and who we attract is unique to our purpose, passion and our business model. That is why every business has it’s own secret recipe for success.

Each business requires different levels of skills, investments and commitments. Each of us has different strengths and weaknesses that we need to work with and around. In many ways success is a path of self discovery.

One of the reasons the illusion of success, distortions around business success are so strong.

The Invisible Scenes Behind My Own Business

For example as a qualified healer of 30 years I am someone who have invested very highly in my learning and my own growth.

While friends and family were getting married, having families, buying fancy houses, cars and fancy clothes.

I was highly invested and dedicated to my own self development and my own spiritual self-growth. Working with over 300 healers, therapists and coaches, a lot for my own healing and wellbeing living with a variety of rare health challenges and disabilities that most people who see me online cannot see.

Behind the scenes, what my audience doesn’t see is over 10, 000 hours of expertise in different forms of therapy, stress management practice, learning, training and teaching.

And spent years under charging and under valuing myself, charging far less than other healers and therapist that had a tenth of the expertise I had. Struggling financially because of my own self-worth and self-esteem issues something I still work on or other business challenges.

The illusion of success comes in all shapes and sizes and in many ways is based on a projected illusion or one others create by what they think they see through that small tiny lens.

What Does Success Mean To You?

Moving out the illusion of success involves looking at what success means to you and also changes in mindset about success you need to address to actually create a healthy and sustainable business.

For most spiritual business success is largely based on first and foremost being able to do a job they are passionate about. And of course in the age of awakening, when everything is being revealed, it is so important to move away from the old egoic business strategies and be more spiritually and soul guided.

We are living at an important time in the world where we are all being called to fully step into our life or soul purpose, our soul’s mission.

But we have to have a healthy mindset around money and business, to have a healthy successful soul-aligned business.

A successful business needs to have the ability to sustain itself, make a profit so it can provide you with a healthy income, so you can stay happy and healthy.

A heart and soul-aligned business needs to build business success on integrity and purpose.
