Work. Ugh. Don’t you kind of hate that word? It sounds heavy. It sounds hard. It sounds sweaty and grumbly and it smells like paper cuts. It snaps like a trap that you can get stuck in for a lifetime, toiling away for the Social Security check that might never come.

Well, when you open your mind to the intuitive world of meaning, to your deeper spiritual path, and to your unique wisdom, that word can either get scarier, or, if you’re strategic about it, you might just find the sacred work that is the perfect fit contribution of your soul.

Look, we spiritually minded people sometimes develop a distorted relationship with action, with work, with effort. It’s tempting to spiritually bypass the whole thing and think that now that you’re “awake,“ everything should come to you effortlessly, peacefully, and with miraculous abundance.

  • Think and grow rich!

  • Follow the Law of Attraction to manifest with ease!

  • Open your “having-ness,”

  • and ask and you shall receive!

Yah Ok. These things are good for shifting out of the downer mind, for opening to better and more. But mindset work only gets you so far, and you know it.

What if Action itself is Sacred.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Put your time where your values are.

Put your shoulder to it with glee, and show your spirit guides you are serious about co-creating some cool stuff in this world.

If you’re like me, you’ve had a past chapter in corporate where you worked really really hard, probably achieved a lot, but underneath, felt something missing. And then maybe you threw yourself into a more spiritual chapter where you put those work-a-day things away, while you focused only on the spirit miracle stuff while hiding under the covers.

But what if I told you, you can have the best of both worlds? And yeah, you can even make great money doing your deepest work with emergent creativity, and profound satisfaction. (I’ve seen it happen over a thousand times so yes I’m sure)

Instead of acting like the trapped resentful worker, or the avoidant bypassing manifester, it’s time to embrace your Contributor archetype.

The Contributor part of you moves from joyful service. That’s when your actions are aligned with your deepest gifts, creating ease. It’s when you are serving the people your soul came here to serve, creating connection and community. Your Contributor takes action when the time is right, when your heart is in it, and when it’s aligned with your path.

Great, Mellissa. umm… I’ve been trying for a long time… You know that’s easier said than done, right?

Dude, yes.

I know because I’ve created an entire system to help people identify their soul gifts, their intrinsic talents, and thereby claim their path, their right role, their most natural expertise. And frankly, until you’ve done that stuff, it’s real hard to find the sweet spot of your Contributor. It’s hard to know which “lane” you should stay in.

There’s a method to this madness. My map has a sequence of archetypes to embody. The Contributor archetype comes right after the Specialist archetype which comes right after the Co-creator archetype on the Wheel of Wisdom, which is a month-by-month map of the energies we all walk through.

This is a path of discovery of your purpose. And it’s hard to navigate it all by yourself. Again -that’s why I mapped it. That’s why a lot of people have tried to map it.

My map is specifically for intuitively gifted smart people who want the best of both worlds. It’s why people pay me good money to use my intuitive sense and my marketing sense at the same time to clarify their sweet spot of contribution, a.k.a. their profession and business.

When you are a leader with your true Contributor self, you are magnetic, trustworthy, and resonating with your natural expertise and highest value.

Yeah, people can totally tell when you are serving and working from a joyful devotion that exudes from every cell in your body. People want to follow that leader. That’s the real deal.

If you are already in your sweet spot for contribution (where you LOVE your fulfilling perfect-fit lucrative work) congratulations!

But if you are like most of us, you know you’re slightly off the mark. Maybe you enjoy your work somewhat, but also feel a longing to give the gift you really came here to give the world.

If so, I got you.

Start with the Soul Gift Quiz (www.soulgiftquiz.com). Because the first thing to clarify is what you are and what you are not. If you take that little quiz, I’ll send you some emails that help you sort out your right role in the world, and what you are literally designed to do.

Next step, you’re going to notice old beliefs popping up and making things hard for no reason. That requires some clearing of old patterns. Best healing you’ll ever give yourself, cause it opens you to fulfillment, reward, and prosperity. And ideally, that clearing is supported by an understanding community of people who are neither dogmatic nor religious nor controlling. I’m talking about people who want to celebrate you and your contribution, people who are up for walking the path with you.

Shameless plug: We are totally jamming on this stuff over in the Activation Circle that costs less than 50 bucks a month, but manages to keep you inspired, energetically clear, and focused in your lane with tons of live and recorded masterclasses and clearings.

Next-level invite/pitch: And then, if you really want to boogie with me, super accelerating your emergence into your sweet spot of purpose and business, check out Leaders Mentorship or maybe even get a VIP session with me where I will reveal your original gifts, your life, contracts, your past chapters, and the next chapter of purpose and contribution you are walking into now. Then I’ll write you up a business plan with all the words you need to make sense of your sweet wacky self while positioning you to make bigger money.

Hey, I told you I have a map for this journey. And I wasn’t kidding around. I want to take you all the way there.

Bothered that I’m tooting my own horn here?

Well, guess what? This is me, in my Contributor archetype, unabashedly inviting you to step into your own. Because that’s when work and play become the same dang thing. And I want the intuitively gifted leaders to step up, contribute fully, and take over the world.

Want to?
