Building a business isn’t just about making money- it’s about creating something that supports your life, your energy, and your well-being. If your business feels like a constant uphill battle, if you’re drained or overwhelmed, then something needs to shift. Because success isn’t just about what you do-it’s about how you feel while doing it.

So, how do you build a business that feels good and brings in money? Let’s talk about it.

1. Start with Alignment: What Actually Feels Good?

A business that feels good starts with YOU. Your strengths, your passions, your natural energy rhythms- these all need to be considered. If you’re constantly forcing yourself into a way of working that drains you, success will always feel out of reach.

→ Ask yourself: What kind of work lights me up? What do I want my days to feel like? What’s the easiest way I create value for others?

Practical shift: Instead of forcing yourself into someone else’s business model, design your own. Love deep conversations? Maybe 1-1 mentoring is your thing. Prefer creating at your own pace? A digital product or course might be better. Honour your energy, and your business will flow better.

2. Build Safety Into Your Nervous System

A business that feels good means your body feels safe inside it. If you’re constantly in a stress cycle-panicking about money, overextending yourself, or feeling unworthy of success-your nervous system will block you from true abundance.

→ Ask yourself: Do I feel safe receiving money? Do I trust that my work is valuable? Do I need to slow down and regulate before making decisions?

Practical shift: Use grounding practices-breathwork, movement, or simple pauses-to stay regulated. The more you operate from a regulated place, the easier it is to make aligned choices in your business.

3. Charge for the Value, Not Just the Time

Money doesn’t have to feel hard. The reason so many soulful entrepreneurs struggle with pricing is that they think of it in terms of hours worked, rather than the impact they create.

→ Ask yourself: How does my work truly change someone’s life? What is that worth to them?

Practical shift: Shift from “hourly” pricing to value-based pricing. You’re not just offering a service-you’re creating a transformation. When you see your own value, others will too.

4. Create Offers That Feel Exciting (Not Just What You Think You “Should” Do)

If you’re dreading delivering a service, chances are it’s not the right one for you. You don’t have to do things the way everyone else does-your best-selling offer will be the one you love delivering.

→ Ask yourself: What part of my business do I enjoy the most? How can I lean into that more?

Practical shift: If 1-1 work is draining but group energy excites you, consider group programs or workshops. If you love teaching, create a course. If you want more spaciousness, build passive income streams. Align your offers with what actually feels good, and the right people will be drawn to them.

5. Ditch the Hustle, Trust in Flow

A business that pays well without burning you out is built on strategy AND trust. The old model of success says you need to hustle harder. The new model? Work smarter, align your energy, and trust that what’s meant for you will land.

→ Ask yourself: Am I forcing or flowing? Where am I pushing instead of allowing?

Practical shift: Build systems that support you-automate what you can, set clear boundaries, and focus on needle-moving activities (not just busywork). Then, practice trust. The more you believe that success is possible without stress, the more it becomes your reality.

The Bottom Line? Your Business Should Support You, Not Drain You

The best businesses aren’t just profitable-they’re nourishing. They give you freedom, energy, and space to enjoy your life. If something isn’t working, trust that there’s always another way-one that feels better and brings in abundance with ease.
