Money and power are at the core of all the world’s challenges.

Terrible things happen when the wrong people have too much power and too much money. Unfortunately, this reality often causes good-hearted people shrink away from both money and power, which is not really helpful.

A healthy relationship with both power and money is such a central element in business success, as well as a real help in facing the world we have today.

I’m guessing you might be thinking that if you really embrace and exercise the power inside you, in business or in life, you might act in unethical ways, you might hurt people, or you might get hurt yourself.

And the same with money, that if you have more money, you may end up like some of the terrible examples of humanity you see, using wealth for bad ends.

You aren’t alone. Money and power are something many people struggle with, inside their business, and in the world in general.

Since 2002, I’ve worked with thousands of business owners on issues of money and power. Hundreds and hundreds of people have been through the teachings in this program with profound, lasting results. In eight weeks you really can change your relationship to money and power in permanent and significant ways.

Who this class is for (and who it isn’t.)

There are a wide variety of people who have gone deep and far with this program.

Spiritually-centered folks:

• On a traditional religious path: Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, among others.
• On very non-traditional spiritual paths, or who study with a spiritual teacher.
• Who have no particular path at all, and yet have some sense or connection to that which exists beyond the physical realm.

The spiritual teachings arise out of Sufism, and are powered by Mark Silver’s initiation into his lineage. At the same time, they are extremely accessible.

Folks in small business, meaning:

• You are self-employed, whether new or at it for some time.
• You *want* to be self-employed or start a business, but haven’t yet.
• You have a slightly larger business, maybe a small team, or you work within a business like that.

Although we’ve had people take the course who have no interest in being in business at all, and they’ve benefitted, know that the examples and angle are intended for folks who want their small business to thrive without hurting their heart.

Folks who have struggled with money, power, or probably both.

• You have felt powerless more times than you want to admit, and it feels terrible.
• You have integrity and care, and don’t want to exercise power if it’s going to create harm.
• You have a passion for justice and equity, you want this world to be as beautiful as it could be.

Wanting power doesn’t mean needing to lord it over others, it simply means wanting to be able to affect the world around you in meaningful ways. You want a reliable connection to the healthy, Divine power that lives in your heart.

Client Experience 

Why it can be so hard to have a real breakthrough.

Money and power both hold an almost mystical place in the world of business triggering your deepest fears and reactions around trust, survival, self-worth and love. These overwhelming emotions tend to produce that “deer in the headlights” response where you push through tasks, just hoping to survive.

Unfortunately, these fears and reactions result in you doing what you’ve done in the past, and your relationship with money and power doesn’t change.

What’s worse is the isolating shame that often ends up complicating the mix of emotions. You “aren’t supposed” to be afraid (this goes for both men and women) and so you try to bluff your way through. Except bluffing never, ever works.

Surprisingly, these paralyzing fears and reactions can be true whether you make five figures, six figures, or even seven figures a year. It doesn’t matter how much money you make, you still worry and struggle with the same guilt and shame at each level, asking yourself “Where in the heck is all the money going?”  You ask yourself this question but you’re terrified to ask anyone else … because what would they think of you if you revealed your heart?

Likewise, the level of success and authority you’ve risen to don’t necessarily equal a healthy relationship with power. We’ve all seen people with a lot of power who are painfully, harmfully unhealthy with it.

And your natural reaction to avoid what scares you keeps you from finding an answer.

Why you can’t just earn your way out of a financial mess.

The classic response to money worries is, “Hey, I’ll just make more money, and then I’ll be okay.” And it’s a logical enough response, especially as a business owner. If you learn what you need to learn, and you market more effectively, and you get better at sales and systems and all the things that make your business run one of two things is bound to happen:

• You start earning more money. Crazy. It actually works. Except that you find yourself spending even more, too, and your actual financial situation hasn’t changed at all, the numbers are just bigger.  (And so is the stress.)

Or…

• You don’t start earning more money. Crazier. You’re putting all these great ideas into place, and they just aren’t working.  (The stress intensifies.)

Either way, you’re giving more of your time and effort, yet that blind spot in your relationship with money causes your finances to keep circling the drain.

And that knot of fear never really goes away. It just slowly grows tighter. Ugh.

And why powering through doesn’t work (because of systemic power.)

Your actions around money and power are important, critical, but you may know that an individual response to systemic issues often doesn’t work well. Sexism, white supremacy, corporate global capitalism and other supremacist systems, often operating unconsciously in individuals, can never be fully overcome by individual efforts.

This course acknowledges this truth, and does NOT teach that if you just “try harder” you, by yourself, can overcome the tides and forces that are moving entire cultures around you. In fact, this dynamic is specifically addressed in class 2, the Seats of Power, and is a frame carried throughout the course.

However, accessing both individual and Divine power is a critical part of the change that is needed. Empowered individuals who stand together, who see the systemic issues, can keep from collapsing in the face of systemic and organizational power.

Client Experience 

This painful cycle of stagnation and heartache doesn’t have to continue forever.

The only way to stop treading water financially or feeling powerless in important moments is to break your isolation, and with the support of a group look squarely at your issues.  Once you do that, the fear you feel about asking for support and reassurance will melt away as you realize just how “normal” what you’re feeling truly is.

As you connect with people who share your challenges and circumstances, you will discover love, strength, and courage in never-imagined places—such as your checkbook and bank account, and your willingness to express your power.

There’s nothing truly mystical about healing your broken relationship with money and power

It really all comes down to four empowering steps:

When these four elements come together,  you know the reality of your situation (and accept it), you gain a deep understanding of why it is the way it is, you uncover what your true needs are, and you finally feel safe enough to effectively ask for help.

Bingo! Suddenly you are making different decisions and taking different actions, and strangely enough, the results start changing, too. Bananas. I know.

I really do know. I’ve been through the money washing machine spin cycle myself, and have been deeply afraid of power—more times than I care to admit. It used to be no matter what I did or what the circumstances were, I still had that knot of fear in my belly: “Am I going to be okay? Is there enough?”

How the changes finally happened for me (and what you can learn from it).

I have to admit that I have, in the past, been a mess with finances. Similarly, I felt really powerless, always comparing myself to others, and feeling timid, soft-spoken, and not wanting to anger anyone.

It wasn’t easy. I had to confront fears I’d carefully tucked into the shadows. Acknowledge issues I worried would embarrass me to death. And (seemingly) worst of all, I had to admit that I wasn’t as “together” as my outward appearance suggested.

Amazingly, it wasn’t nearly as traumatic as I imagined it would be. Fears withered when I brought them into the light. Instead of embarrassment, I found loving support from those who had walked, stumbling along the same path I now traveled. And I discovered that my true friends still warmly accepted me regardless of my “shortcomings.”

It was an amazing, liberating and renewing experience, and I continued learning all I could about how to make peace not only with the subject of money but also with the fears, anxieties, and doubts that kept me from standing in my power.

Then, one morning, I realized I had changed.

It had been a month since I had gone into any panic over money, despite my financial situation remaining essentially unchanged.  I wasn’t feeling better because the money situation changed; the peace and grounding I was experiencing were because of the healthy shift in my heart that I’d made.

Not coincidentally, shortly after that my financial picture began to also shift, in a very pleasant upward manner.

It was a few years after that, but I had the same experience around power. I realized that I had internalized a taste of sincerity, where I didn’t need to be right, I didn’t need to fight, but I also found that I wasn’t collapsing, even in very confrontive situations.

As time passed, I was asked to teach some spiritual students how to have the same healthy relationship with money, and, eventually, power that I was experiencing. That request sparked me to review and look deeper into everything that I had done so far and gain clarity on what had worked for me and what hadn’t.

What I learned from studying both my own experience, and, more importantly, the teachings in an unbroken 1400-year-old Sufi lineage, brought me to those four steps you just read about – Inventory, Understanding, Asking From True Need, and Safety.  With these four steps and time-tested, ancient spiritual teachings that blow your heart open, I began to help others to create the same heart-centered, healing experience I had had in their own relationship with money.

It only seemed right to call this teaching the Heart of Money Transformational Journey, and over time, I have had the privilege to lead hundreds of people through this course – with consistently outstanding results emotionally and financially.

After teaching on Sovereignty, strength, power and presence separately from money, it became obvious to me how related the two areas are. In 2020 I took the years of power-related teachings and integrated them into the Heart of Money course.

I’m honored to be able to open this course’s doors to you, right now, as part of the Heart of Money & Power Transformational Journey program.

If you’re bone-weary from sleepless nights, and eager to feel the burden of stress lifted off of your shoulders, I gratefully invite you to join us.

Client Experience 

If you’ve wished to make a fundamental shift around your money and power, to end the stress and sleepless nights there’s good news:  I’ve been helping people with this for years.

When you join us in the Heart of Money and Power Transformational Journey course, our primary focus will be on teaching you how to create four core results in your life:

We take this journey by going through eight teaching sessions spread over nine weeks. This way you’re not overloaded and actually have time to make space in your life for what you’re learning.

In these sessions, you will journey through all four elements by way of your heart—Inventory, Understanding , Asking From True Need and Safety—learning how to make changes where they count on the inside.

As you experience the internal changes resulting from what you’re learning, you will begin to effortlessly make right decisions about what actions to take,  leading you to see real changes in your financial reality and your relationship to power. Why wait?

Client Experience 

I’m going to be honest with you: Two months is enough to integrate the teachings and start to see a big shift. It’s probably not enough time to erase your debt, turn your financial situation from rags to riches, or to become fully empowered. Manifestation in the physical realm often is slower than in the heart.

This transformational journey – as far as it takes you – is a jump into a new life with money and power that you will grow into. The freedom you have discovered will enable you to continue to make decisions about your finances and your empowerment that will indeed move you, step by step, toward your goals.

If you’re willing, let me be your guide through these foundational, deeply life-changing steps.

The teachings, the exercises, and the structure all combine to change your relationship with money and power.

I’ve helped hundreds of people learn how to put an end to the late-night money worries and create the liberating financial and emotional breakthroughs that come when you have a heart-centered, “right relationship” with money and power. I want to help you experience the same freedom through the Heart of Money & Power Transformational Journey course.

Here’s the bottom line: I want your life and finances to work! I’ve seen many people climb out of financial holes and powerlessness, and you can, too. With the support and the well-blazed trail this class offers, you can do it much more quickly than others have.

You already have the seeds of success within you. Your strength and abundance is in your heart. You have wisdom and clarity waiting for you, once your fears and assumptions and misunderstandings are peeled away.

That “Pay From The Heart Thing”

Most simply, Pay From The Heart means you check in with your heart and arrive at a payment that feels right to you.

I’ve seen people struggle with sliding scales and pay-what-you-want pricing, thinking they have to pay more than feels good because they want to pay their “fair share.” Let me share a Sufi perspective: you can only give what you’ve been given.

We want you to feel great about the relationship- what you receive in the program, and what you give to sustain us in our giving to you.

What other people charge.

This course has been sold previously for $395-$595. Others with similarly structured courses have charged anywhere from $250 to $1500. I’m not saying you need to pay us between $250 and $1500. Just in the context of these kinds of offers, if you went somewhere else, that’s what you could expect to pay.

The gift here is that what feels right in your heart, and where your business and finances are, is great! As long as you feel good in your heart, we trust that.

On the other hand, if you are in a situation where you have more, and contributing more feels good to you, we’re happy to receive that support.

What is sustainable for us.

It’s important to us that we are honest with you, and not pretending Heart of Business doesn’t have needs, because we do.

What we’re asking and the exception to that.

There are two numbers we’re going to put out there for your consideration.

The first number is US$450 as the sustainable price. If you can meet that or more, in a single payment or two payments of $225, that really helps sustain us in our service.

The second number is US$125, as the minimum requested payment. It is Pay From the Heart, and it has to agree with our heart as well as your own, and our hearts just didn’t feel good lower than $125.

The “food or shelter” exception. If you feel like this course would really nourish you, and paying $125 puts your food or shelter at risk, then you are absolutely invited to pay less.

Can you really trust your heart?  Yes!  It can feel very vulnerable to do so, but we think you’ll benefit greatly from doing so.  You don’t have to email us saying you wish you could pay more but you did the best you can right now.  We get it – we really do.  We’re making this offer from our hearts and trust you making your offer from your heart.

How it works.

First, decide if you are going to join us. Feel the possibilities of what this kind of support would mean to you, your heart, and your business.

Second, if you decide “Yes,” then make a second decision of how much your heart wants to give, in one or two payments. Take time to both think about the reality of your financial situation and to sense into your heart what number feels right.

Cancellations and Refund Requests policy

We have poured our hearts into this program to make it comprehensive with a LOT of support while also making it as inexpensive as possible. We’ve seen other programs charge 3-10x as much as we’re charging, and yet we feel great about offering this at Pay from the Heart pricing.

One thing that adds a lot of hidden costs to a program are administrative costs. Someone will ask for what seems like a simple thing, like a special payment plan, not realizing that hours of administrative time can be quickly eaten up.

So, after a lot of prayer and discussion, here’s our policy for this program:

Cancellations: You may cancel the program prior to January 10, 2023, and we will refund your money in full.  If you want to cancel on or after January 10, we will stop any future payments (if you choose two payments). We cannot refund any payments already charged by January 10, 2023. We need at least 2 business days’ notice in advance of the charge being processed to give us time to stop the charge.

Custom/extended payment plans: We cannot offer any payment plans other than what you see on this page because of the work and administrative tracking.

Refunds: We are happy to offer refunds for the program on or prior to January 10, 2023. However, we won’t offer any refunds after this date.  We can stop your second payment (if you chose two payments) if you want to leave the program before that second payment is charged. We need at least 2 business days’ notice (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm Eastern) in advance of the charge being processed to give us time to stop the charge.

I know these are strong positions to take, and we’ve only come to this conclusion after spending literally hundreds, thousands, of dollars in administrative hours to provide custom arrangements for clients.

We’re trusting you get the sincerity of our intentions here, and encourage you to combine strength and compassion in your own business.

P.S. – I understand that it can be a “big deal” to step past the limits that we’re comfortable with and challenge ourselves to grow more. Sometimes simply sitting with that anxiety and calming it down is enough to remind yourself that you’re not alone—that other people just like you are lightening and healing their relationship with money, the way you desire to.
