Build It Like You Already Own It

Manifestation isn’t magic—it’s strategy with soul.

Did you ever watch The Secret and secretly hope cheques would just start showing up in the mail?
Same. And last month, one actually did, a surprise $41 from a class action lawsuit. A fun little wink from the universe, but let’s be real: that’s not exactly a repeatable business strategy.
Manifestation isn’t wishful thinking or slapping a few pictures on a vision board (though I’m all for a good vision board). It’s about aligning your mindset, energy, and actions with the version of you who already runs the business you’re dreaming of — and then taking bold, intentional steps to match.
Lately, I’ve been soaking up Kathleen Cameron’s take on manifestation, and I’m obsessed. She reminds us that it’s not about chasing more. It’s about becoming more — more aligned, more intentional, more magnetic.
So if your business has felt a little stuck, scattered, or sluggish lately… this might be the shift you didn’t even know you were craving.
Here’s how to start manifesting like a grounded visionary:
1. Decide what you want.
Not what you should want. Not what someone else told you to build. What’s your dream business feel like? More time-freedom? Clients you adore? Passive income? Get specific and get honest. This is the foundation.
Pro tip: “Clarity is power. Confusion repels.” So write it down. Speak it out loud. Claim it.
2. Move from need into want.
Needing it now creates desperation. Wanting it from a place of already being enough? That’s where your power is. You're not manifesting because you’re broken—you're manifesting because you’re expanding.
Check-in: Are your actions fueled by fear or by faith? Shift accordingly.
3. Be her/him/they—today.
Ask: How would the future version of me show up in this moment? Then act accordingly. Would they panic-scroll or write that email? Doubt their price or own it with confidence? You don’t have to overhaul your life; take the next right action in alignment with your vision.
4. Say no to what’s not aligned.
Manifestation is also subtraction. Let go of the tasks, offers, or clients that drain your energy. You can’t receive what’s next while clinging to what’s not working.
Less “I have to,” more “I choose to.”
5. Be wildly grateful—but not passive.
Yes, feel the abundance of what’s already here. But also… do the dang thing. Your vision requires your leadership. Manifestation is action, aligned, not frantic.
Manifestation isn’t magic; it is momentum built from belief into knowing, then having. Start showing up for your dream business as if it's already yours.
