Creating a Purpose-Driven Business by Embracing New Beliefs
A purpose-driven business begins—not with a strategy, but with a belief.
Read each one slowly. When a belief lands—that small tug is the doorway—tap it to claim it as your own. These are Debra’s eleven, word for word from your workbook.
Empowering New Beliefs:
But first, I want to encourage you to take on some new beliefs that will empower you to step into your business fully, coming from a new, inspiring place.
Release & choose
STRETCH: Conceive . Believe . Achieve
Everything you want is one step past the edge of what already feels safe.
I believe that you can Be, Do and Have all you desire in your business; it's just a matter of stepping outside of your comfort zone a little.
This is why I have attached an exercise for you to assist with this. This exercise is so simple yet very powerful.
I want you to take a moment and write down within the circle everything you have right now that you are grateful for.
Then write down everything you desire on the outside of the circle. Everything you want on the outside of the circle is literally outside of your comfort zone, and everything you have and are grateful for inside the circle is within your comfort zone.
Everything you have listed inside your circle (your bubble) is everything you have in your life at this moment – it's totally safe. Take the right steps, pushing outside your comfort zone consistently will have you crossing over that invisible barrier and manifesting and creating what you desire outside the circle.
The cool thing is the fact that you desire what is outside the circle means you have the resources to create whatever you desire.
Stepping Outside of Your Comfort Zone
Inside the circle first. Then outside it.
The Five Keys of Conscious Creation
Vision. Identity. Belief. Aligned Action. Support. Turn all five and you always know your next move.
Have you been hoping, praying, and wishing daily for what you want, but you still don't seem to manifest what you desire?
Key One — Vision: get still, and let the divine download make the desire specific enough to name what "IT" is.
Spirit gives us a sense of purpose and passion and gets us out of the everyday mind-loop our analytical minds can get stuck in. At this point, we are just figuring specifics: "What is it that you want?" The more specific you can be here, the better. Refer to the prior exercise: "Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone"
Once you are clear on what you want, I want you to become clear as to the reason WHY this is important to you.
Key Two — Identity: Spirit drives your mindset, and your mindset supports your identity
Mindset/Identity
Identity is what we think of ourselves.
Key Three — Belief
My question would be, "What would a multi-million dollar business owner need to believe in creating 10 million dollars in business?" This sort of question may make you feel awkward and uncomfortable.
Beliefs
Beliefs confirm/support our sense of identity.
Melt Away Any Resistance Question:
Key Four — Aligned Action
Decision
A decision is not a wish; it is where belief turns into action.
Clear Outcome
Clear outcomes determine the results we create.
Aligned Action
Action
Actions are chosen based on the outcome we want to create.
Do you know exactly what needs to be done first, second, etc.,
Even if you don't know how to do it yourself?
Key Five — Support
I want you to take stock of your environment. What's around you, in your office, the people in your personal and business life, and do these people support you?
How can you set yourself up for success if you have chaos in your surroundings and negative people pulling you down?
So using the identity above (you insert yours!), what do you need to ask for as a multi-million dollar business owner? What do you need to let go of?
Support Systems/Environment
Where do most people go first? Straight into the action.
Simply Empowered Success Tip!
New identity. New belief. New Aligned Action.
What new identity and belief will you embrace now to take aligned action that supports your Big Vision?
What are some fun identities and new beliefs that you think will support your bigger vision?
Brainstorm below and then choose one new Belief, one new Identity, one overall Action with 3 Aligned Supporting Actions you can take right now that best support your Big Vision that you identified with earlier when Stepping Outside your Comfort Zone - Lesson 2.
Just thru identifying this one overall action; becoming more visible:
This will attract new customers, which in turn will help you become financially free, which would solve any cash and confidence challenges you may be feeling, as well as allow you the flexibility to reach out to millions without having to worry about how you'll fund it. And by gaining this knowledge, your client will experience the same even if you aren't quite there yet. And, create a safe community like-minded individuals where they can thrive.

Final Blueprint
Deepening Your Purpose, Sacred Money, Sacred Life
Four questions that build on each other, and change what you think you are here for.
Sacred Money, Sacred Life Transformational Exercise
This is a journaling type of exercise, with four questions that build on each other.
Purpose and Impact
The first segment of four is called Purpose and Impact.
I want you to imagine for a moment that you have all the money you need to live the life of your dreams. Take that in for a moment. You have all the money you need to live the life of your dreams.
Perspective and Priorities
The second question here is on Perspective and Priorities.
You've just learned that you only have roughly five more years to live, and the end will come without notice. Journal the first thoughts that come to mind.
Completion and Closure
The next section is Completion and Closure.
You've just been told you only have one day left of life.
For some of you, this may bring up some emotions. Take a deep breath and just write what comes.
Realization and Renewal
I'd love to hear what is coming up for you. Are you seeing the value of this exercise? Share your comments in the Simply Empowered Interactive. If it's highly personal, you don't need to give specifics, just what value came from this. I love this exercise because it's a bit of a wake-up call for many of you. Great job!
The power in this exercise comes from this final section, "realization and renewal." I want you to create some concrete steps you can now take. Be specific. Many of you will incline to be very sweeping and general with your answers.
Simply Empowered Action Step:
Set a timer for 15 minutes, grab something to sip on, such as a cup of coffee or tea, wine, whatever—just relax and take yourself through this exercise in detail. Dive into this and do this by yourself. Most importantly, do this for YOU!
Connecting to your deeper WHY
When business gets hard, surface motivation runs out. A deep why never does.
What is your deeper reason for creating your business over and beyond using it as just a vehicle to make money?
How to figure out your WHY:
What is the cost to you, your family, your health, your future, if you do not ultimately step into what you desire and are meant to do?
Let's get started . . .
Next, let's answer some powerful questions.
Dig deep and be honest with yourself! These will lead you to your bigger Why:
Write down the three questions and your answers to the above on a 3×5 card, or keep it in your phone where you will always see it. Review it daily and this will become an empowering reminder to you.
What do you choose instead?
As an empowered entrepreneur, I know you know differently, but just ask yourself "What would I choose instead?"
The five whys
Creating a Purpose-filled Business
Creating a purpose-filled business, while living the life you ultimately desire.
Creating a Purpose-Filled Business
Creating a purpose within your business, while living the life you ultimately desire
So whether you already have a niche, are redefining it, or perhaps starting brand new, take a moment to ask yourself these questions:
Tapping into your Deeper Purpose within your work
Business Based on the Lifestyle You Desire
No matter where you are in your business, you can begin incorporating today (even if it's in some small way) how you ultimately want to work your business, based on how you want to live your life. I went about figuring out how I would show up best for my business and personal life by asking two essential questions:
What do you know to be true about you?
For example, do you like to connect more with people via phone or through Zoom or in-person?
Do you need time to walk your dog, workout, etc.?
I like to have fun!
I tend to overwork myself.
Example:
By applying "like" items together.
By leaving my schedule open for me until 10 am.
By turning off the computer and unplugging at 5:30 pm.
By just being ME in my business and not worrying about what others think.
So, let's take this a little deeper, shall we?
#4 is such an important tip. By doing your most important tasks when you have the most energy, you will get more accomplished and feel better too!
Put YOU back on your schedule! Take time to just play!
Take time for you and your family, go for a walk, go to fun classes, be creative, learn something new and just play.
Now that you know what you enjoy and what your perfect schedule is, it's time to take a test run to make sure you are genuinely choosing what to do based on your desire to have a passion-filled business versus one that you feel you should do because you think it will make money. Or, even worse, other's expectations of you.
Miracle Life, 90 Day Snap-Shot of Your Life
A miracle is a shift in perception that opens a door you could not see before.
Your Miracle Day Description
Get comfortable. Have a nice hot cup of tea, cocoa, a glass of wine, or a beverage of your choice. Make sure you have some time to yourself for this exercise. I want you to be comfortable, just RELAX.
Take a couple of deep breaths and place yourself in the moment.
While you are sleeping – A Miracle Happens – all your problems, struggles, and difficulties, really anything holding you back from moving forward into your true success has disappeared - completely! Now you do not know this miracle has happened as it happened while you were sleeping. Imagine waking up on that miracle morning without knowing that anything had occurred. I want you to ask yourself, what would be your first clue that a miracle had happened?
Be as descriptive as possible when you write down your first thoughts, feelings, and actions on that miracle morning. Keep asking yourself, dig deep, what is different? How do you feel? Don't you feel amazing?
Okay, now go further, deeper. . .
Describe how the rest of your day will go, how you are living this wonderful life. Remember, the detail is very important.
- Would you speak differently to those around you?
- Would you feel differently – perhaps joyful, lighter, or happier, more energetic, and motivated? Maybe more at peace?
- What would those feelings lead you to do during your day?
- What would the people around you notice that is different about you on your miracle day?
- How would they know a miracle had happened?
- What difference would your miracle make in the lives of those closest to you?
- Are you working on the job/business you are in right now?
- Are you happy, fulfilled in life?
- Do you travel? Do you own a different home? Do you live in a new area?
Your Miracle Year Description
I want you to take this same concept and ask yourself, what does your Miracle Year look like? Go ahead and write it out just like you did above with your Miracle Day.
