About the episode:
The way to manifest more money faster is probably going to be a bit surprising – it’s to slow down. This isn’t to say that slowing down your energetic state cannot coexist with taking rapid action in your business, but it allows you to stop manifesting from any type of graspy energy and move to a place of openness and commitment. When you slow down in your business you’ll not only generate the results that you’re desiring at a quicker rate, but you’ll be able to find safety and security outside of the number in your bank account. This episode will help you move out of overwhelm and into a place that you really want to be taking aligned action from while releasing any timelines that you may feel attached to.
Topics discussed in today’s episode:
- The most common thoughts that are blocking you from creating more money in your business
- Stepping away from graspy energy and attachment to sell from a place of openness and commitment to call in more aligned clients
- The specific emotions to lean into that will help you cultivate faster growth and money manifestation in your business
- How slowing down your mind and your being can actually coexist with rapid action
- Real examples of how my manifestations have sped up when I slowed down my energetic state
- The reminder that safety and security do not come from the amount of money you have, but the story you tell yourself

Jamie: [00:00:00] Oh my gosh, y’all. I am excited for this episode. I think it is a much needed episode. Because I know so many of you want to manifest money more quickly. You want to create success at a more rapid rate. You want your business to grow faster, sooner. You’re like, why the heck is it taking so long? I want to be so much further than I am.
I should be so much further than I am. And this is frustrating. How do I make it happen faster? And that’s exactly what we’re going to be talking about on today’s episode. And to be honest with you, it’s probably the exact opposite of what you think. Right? Because what it takes to manifest money quicker, to manifest success quicker, or growth [00:01:00] quicker, is actually slowing way, way down.
Which is the opposite of what our brain typically thinks it takes to manifest money. Right? So often our brain thinks, if I want to make money faster, I got to go faster. I got to move faster. I got to do all the things that we feel really, really overwhelmed. And we pile a million things on our to do list.
We think about a million things that we want to get done in our business and get executed. And it feels completely. Overwhelming. And that is not the way to do it. In fact, some of the thoughts that slow us down the most in business. RI should be further along. I should be moving faster. This needs to happen [00:02:00] faster, right?
Well, yes. You have a desire for what you are creating. We have to be very, very conscious of the thoughts and feelings that are driving this creation. Right? Which I also call the energy that’s driving this creation. Think about it like this. Even check in with your body. If you have a thought like this, I should be further along.
I should be moving faster. This needs to happen faster. What is the feeling that that brings up in your body? What is the energy that that brings up? I know for me, it causes me to feel a rushed energy in my being. I feel very rushy, like it has to happen faster. I also feel graspy. I feel pressure. Um, it just feels kind of panicky, kind of chaotic.
And from that place, what happens when we are [00:03:00] in this rushy kind of chaotic energy, thinking it needs to happen faster, I should be further along. Is we actually Rushy energy blocks our creativity. Rushy energy blocks access to the divine wisdom and our intuition and ideas and creativity that could come in to help us execute our business.
But when we’re thinking, I should be, this should be happening faster, or I should be further along, or it’s not happening fast enough. What we are doing is literally, if you think of it like block, it’s like that is literally an energetic block. It just blocks us from access to what it is that would actually allow it to happen faster.
So while, yes, you have a desire to create this thing, the most important thing that you can do is slow [00:04:00] down. Slow way down. down, right? And to shift the way that you’re thinking about it. Because as long as you’re thinking those thoughts, it should be happening faster. You will just slow yourself down because again, you feel chaotic.
You feel rushed that blocks your creativity. What we tend to do from that state is just overthink. We feel we spin out and different ideas of what we should be doing. It all feels very challenging. And then we typically don’t really take any action from that place, right? We don’t really move forward. In fact, I think that thought I should be moving.
Faster tends to stop us completely. Like, that is the result that that line of thinking creates. So one of the worst things you can do if you want to speed things up is to think it needs to be happening faster, to do it from a rushed energy, to put [00:05:00] pressure on yourself, right? And for some reason, our brain thinks it’s helpful to be in that state, but we really have to do Mind management here.
This is where it’s like the ultimate in what is the story I want to tell about my goal What is the story I want to tell about the money that I’m manifesting? Because as long as I am rushing it and in that energy I will slow it way down and I’ve seen this happen time and time again It is the people who are the most graspy who feel so needy about it who think it has to happen faster I’m not fast enough Those are the people that literally it just doesn’t unfold for.
And it’s not until they shift their energy that things open up, right? And then that’s when things open up and they start actually calling in the clients, calling in the money, right? And if you think about it, people like potential clients, anything in our business, right? [00:06:00] Subconsciously, they can feel our energy.
They may not consciously know what it is, but if you’re selling from a graspy, meaty place, people can feel that. They really can. How do I know that? Because I’ve been there, and I didn’t sell from that place, right? It wasn’t until I shifted my energy that things opened up, So much easier to call in aligned clients.
So when you were in that graspy pressure filled place, not a lot is going to happen in your business. So if you want to speed things up, the best thing you can do is slow down. Slow down your thoughts, slow down your goals, slow down your actions and how much you think you need to do in order to make it happen.
Right? Slow down your feelings. Start to create a sense of safety [00:07:00] and calm and groundedness and presence. Mindfulness. I swear to you, there is no more efficient way to grow and build a business than to cultivate those emotions. And those emotions can only happen when we slow down, when we take a deep breath and lean back, that is how you are going to manifest.
the fastest, right? And we don’t want to try to do this and shift our energy because we’re like, ah, I need it to happen fast. So let me go slow down. We don’t want to do it from that place. We really have to cultivate this energetic shift of I am good now. I don’t need you. Right? Catherine Zinkina, another manifestation coach who I really like, and I like listening to her podcasts and stuff.
She said this line that I thought was so amazing and creates that energetic state that actually allows our manifestations [00:08:00] to come into us, right? It attracts our manifestations and it’s, I want you, but I don’t need you. Right? That allows us to let go of the graspiness and really move into the state of wholeness now, presence now, safety now, mindfulness now.
It calms our nervous system, right? And from that state, it’s like, no, I want you, but I don’t need you. Let go of the graspiness, let go of the neediness, let go of the rush. And if you can cultivate that state of I’m good now, I’m whole now, I’m safe now, I’m secure now. Then from there, we are way more present in what we’re creating.
We’re way more calm in what we’re creating. And just think about it like this. I’m going to pose this question to you. If you felt safe, secure, [00:09:00] Worthy, let’s just call it whole now. Right now, without your manifestation, without more money, if you really held that energetic state of wholeness. Now, how would you approach your business differently?
How would you show up and market differently if you felt whole, safe and secure? Now if you felt worthy? Now it’s a completely different energy. And what happens when we can cultivate that state is that’s when we can slow down and really tap into our intuition. That’s when divine wisdom can come through is when we are slowed down enough to listen and hear, hear what that next step is that we have to take.
Right? That is where the magic happens in business, and I swear it is the fastest way [00:10:00] to success. There’s actually this line in A Course in Miracles that says, infinite patience leads to instant manifestation. Let me say that again. Infinite patience leads to instant manifestation. So one of the reasons that we slow ourselves down the most is impatience.
It’s rushed energy. So if you can cultivate on a daily basis, and this is going to take practice, this is going to take intention, this is going to take reprogramming, but you can do it if you If you on a daily basis decide I want to create infinite patience around this, watch how quickly your manifestations begin to unfold.
It is like magic. It’s like magic, right? Um,[00:11:00]
okay. And you might be asking, but Jamie, wait, you talk about how in your business you have Like different seasons, right? There are sprint seasons followed by rest seasons. And yes, I talk about that because that’s how I tend to do it, right? I launch a couple times a year. I usually launch about four times a year, which tend to be my sprint seasons where there’s a lot going on where there’s a lot of doing.
And then I follow that up with rest periods where I slow down. Not doing as much, you know, not taking as much action, not working as many hours. And that’s what I love, right? And you may be asking, but Jamie, how does that work? If you’re slowing down, how do you sprint, right? And it does seem like, that seems like competing intentions there.
That seems like competing ideas. And here’s what I want to offer you, is that when I say slowing [00:12:00] down is the fastest way to success, I want you to consider that slowing down is a state of mind. It is an energetic state. It is a state of being. So you can slow down and sprint. You can slow down and do lots of things in a day.
But it’s about cultivating the energetic state of slowing down. Which is that idea of I want you but I don’t need you. Of I am whole now. And from that place, oh my God, I love helping my people. I’m going to give this business my all. I believe in them. I’m going to sell the heck out of my programs because I know they’re amazing, right?
And I can take lots of actions from that place, but my mind is. still, my mind is present. I’m doing it in a way that’s mindful. It’s not from a place of, Oh my God, I [00:13:00] have to do all the things to be successful. And if I don’t do them all, then I’m not going to get there fast enough and I’m not going to reach my goals.
Notice that energy is very, very different. Then this place of wholeness and presence now, but. Oh my God, I’m going to give this business my all. Oh my God. I’m committing to this launch wholeheartedly because I believe in every person that’s showing up and I cannot wait to help them get the results that they want.
And I know that they’re going to get the results that they want when they have the courage to come into my program. So I’m going to go all in on helping them gain the courage to come in and do this work. And that is coming from a place of love and belief in them and commitment to this work. Well, my mind is present.
I’m not saying I have to do all these things to be successful. It’s really not about me, right? So you can both sprint and slow your being down, slow your mind down, doing everything from a place of intention and [00:14:00] mindfulness. Well, doing a lot of things. It totally can coexist, right? So again, consider that slowing down is a state of mind.
It is a state of being. It’s a feeling. It is the feeling that you have as you are creating in your business, right? So, sorry.
So for you, you can check in and ask yourself, am I doing this from a place of mindfulness or am I doing this from a place of rushed? What is the energy behind it? Does it feel rushed? Does it feel intentional? Does it feel mindful? Does it feel chaotic? Do I feel present or do I feel Like there’s a million things going on, right?
And it just feels very panicky. So you just want to check in. It’s [00:15:00] like, what is the feeling behind how you are showing up in your business and how you are creating? Because slowing down, again, it’s a state of mind and you can absolutely do it and take lots of actions. And I will say, and for me, it’s like, I love to have that balance of Sprints and then, you know, restful periods.
So for me, those restful periods actually fuel the sprints. So I really, really slowed down during those rest periods. And what it does when I am allowing myself to rest is it gives me ideas and creativity. And then whenever it is time to kick it up and get into launch mode, I have so much energy because I’ve allowed that balance to happen.
Okay, so I want to give you a few examples of how I have seen this happen in my real life, how the manifestations have [00:16:00] sped up as I have gotten into that state of mind of slowing down. So, I remember my first 100K year, and some of you have heard me talk about this, but my first 100K year, I really did do it from a bit of a rushed kind of hustle y energy.
I did a lot of things. I felt like I was throwing spaghetti at the wall, doing all the things to make it happen. And yes, I did manifest my first hundred K, but at the end of the day, I felt exhausted. The end of the year, I felt exhausted. I was tired. I was burnt out. I did not like the energetic state that I was in because how we build something is also how we’re going to feel.
feel once we’re there. So if we do something from a rushed energy, we’re going to get there and we’re still going to be in a rushed energy or we’re going to be depleted, right? So the energy really matters. So with that, my first hundred K year, I remember just being so exhausted, so tired. And I thought, God, I cannot keep [00:17:00] doing things this way.
And that’s when I pivoted and decided I am going to manifest a hundred K again. But from a completely different energy. And that was when I consciously chose to slow down. First of all, I slowed down my goals because I didn’t say, Oh, I’m going to go do a million dollars now, right? From a different place.
I said, no, let’s just Slow things down. Let’s just do 100k again, but let’s learn to create from a different energy. So I wasn’t trying to change too much too soon. I wasn’t saying, oh no, I need way more. It was like, no, I’m good here, but I just. I want to feel differently as I’m doing it. I want to learn how to do this in a way that actually feels good.
And that was my project of the year. So what I did was I slowed way down and I, first of all, I slowed down the goals, right? Because normally we want to double everything or make more money every single year. I’m like, no, [00:18:00] I don’t need to make more money. Right. I slowed down the goal slow. Cause I knew, Oh my gosh, I want this to be a sustainable business.
Right? So it was like, It’s not sustainable in the way that I’m doing it. Let’s learn to do it. Let’s slow down the goal. Just recreate what we created last year from a different place where we’re not working so many hours and all over the place and completely depleting ourselves, right? So I slowed down the goal.
I slowed down the amount of hours that I was working. I kind of evaluated and said, what do I absolutely You know, desire doing here. What’s in my zone of genius? What can I let go of? I cut down my work hours, right? I just slowed myself down. I took more time for me. I took more time to get support. I had my coach.
I also remember that year like, okay, every Thursday I’m going to go to the beach and manifest, right? I was like, I’m going to go to the beach, just be still. I love being by the ocean. It just nourishes me. And I really wanted to So I’m going to fuel [00:19:00] myself. The intention was to slow down just the business, right.
And like, in terms of like what I was doing in my business. And allow myself to get more present in my life and do the things that felt like. joy to me that fueled me, right? And I balanced that out with my business. And that year I cut my hours way back, right? I cut up back the amount that I was trying to get done in any given week, any given month, and really just focused on the essentials, focused on what do I love doing?
What makes me feel alive? What is in my zone of genius? And of course, like what’s going to help me? Create clients, right? Like what’s actually a client creating activity. And I really only focused on that, but instead of doing 8, 000 things in a week, like I was before, I was like, what are the three things that I want to focus on this week and actually put presence into?
Be mindful [00:20:00] in it. Really give those things my all. And what that did is I was doing way less. But the things that I did were way more effective. And it’s because I wasn’t trying to do all the things. And I was also giving my mind space. I allowed my mind to slow down. I allowed myself to fuel myself, nourish myself, so that then I had a full cup to go and give.
And it made all the difference. And of course, from that place of not trying to manifest more money, I did! I started making money with way more ease than the previous year. And on top of that, I ended up making 145, 000. So I exceeded my goal and it was because I slowed the goal down. I wasn’t in a rush to get there.
I really focused in on my energy and I slowed myself way, way down. And of course it [00:21:00] sped things up. And then the year after that, I ended up making. 500, 000, right? Like I had a quantum leap and it was because I changed my energetic state. I learned to slow myself way down in business and it changed everything.
And it makes business so much more. Sustainable. It makes me way more creative. I come up with such better ideas when I’m not trying to force myself to do all the things, but it’s more like I put intention into the things that matter and I put love into the things that matter and I focus on what is my zone of genius.
What do I actually love to do and really focus on doing those things more often and balancing that out with the things in my life that I love. Right? Like this month I’m going to Cabo to see the whales and I’m so excited and I know that whenever I balance my life out in that way and I do the things that really [00:22:00] light me up, oh my gosh, it’s like the floodgates open in my business.
Because I’m not thinking so much. Oh my God, I have to do it all. I have to get it all done working around the clock. We just don’t have access to divine wisdom and creativity and intuition from that place. And I’ll tell you what, those That’s the moneymaker, right? You being able to slow down and access what I call divine wisdom.
It just feels like ideas drop in, you know, and it’s like, I’m not forcing it. It’s so different. So I highly encourage you to practice this, slowing down your state of being, slow down your goals, stop being so needy, start appreciating what you have now, create safety. Now, safety does not come from the amount of money you have.
I’m going to say that again. Safety and security does not come from the amount of money you have. [00:23:00] It comes from the story you tell about your life, the beliefs that you hold, and the thoughts that you think most often. It is absolutely an opportunity to create a state of mind of safety if it’s something you don’t currently have.
Because I will tell you this, more money isn’t going to give it to you. If you don’t know how to create safety now, you can make millions and millions and millions of dollars and not feel safe. In fact, I know a lot of people who have a lot of money in my life. I just, I mean, I live in LA, I’m around a lot of creatives.
It’s so fun. It’s fun to be around that kind of abundance. But, you know, me, I’m a coach. I’m always looking at mindsets and I think it’s fascinating. And I see some people who, most of the people around me that, you know, don’t even do coaching or anything. And, you know, I see people who literally have companies that are worth 25 million, you know?
And Things like that. Right? And they don’t have safety. They [00:24:00] have fear of losing it, right? So more money is not going to give you security or safety. So I think so many of us are in a rush to make money because we think, Oh, once I have this amount of money, once I hit my goal, I’m going to feel safe. I’m going to feel secure.
I’m going to feel worthy. But. The truth is, no, you won’t. If you don’t learn to cultivate that emotion now, there’s no amount of money that’s going to give it to you. So I highly recommend doing this work now because when you’re in a state that I kind of like sum up as wholeness, where you feel safe, secure, and worthy, you don’t have to like be in such a rush to make money because you already feel safe.
You already feel whole. And it’s more of. It’s more of just making money out of desire, right? It’s more of making money out of, you know, because you’re, you want to manifest it, but you don’t need it. It’s more of like, it’s just fun to create it. You have a purpose. You have this [00:25:00] desire, you have other things that you want to experience in your life.
So why the heck not? But it’s not something you need in order to feel safe, right? Another example of this, and it’s totally outside of money, but I saw this shift happen of infinite patience leads to instant manifestation, right? This quote from A Course in Miracles. Whenever I shifted into infinite patience in this other area of my life, that it was the first time in my life the needle started moving forward in this area.
And this was the area of weight loss. So if you weren’t aware before I did money coaching, I was actually a weight loss coach, right? And that was my first big kind of, I would say, um, personal development coaching work that I really did and shifted so much around. Because for pretty much most of my life.
I [00:26:00] grew up overweight. I really struggled with my weight. I really struggled with my body image. I had PCOS. So I actually had like health conditions that were related to my weight. And doctors would always say, like, if you want to improve your health, um, issues, the way to do that is to lose weight. But the thing is with my hormones at the time, I thought, how the heck do I lose weight?
The hormones are causing this. So I had this idea that I could never lose weight. But my whole life, I was trying to lose weight. Literally, I think I started dieting probably at 10 years old. I’ve been on every diet you could ever think of, tried all the things. But I was always in that state of mind of rushing.
Of, I need this weight off of me fast. I need to get there so that I can feel better, so that I can feel worthy, so that I can feel healthy. And all of these things. So I was always graspy for it. I was always needy for it. And because of that, nothing ever worked. I would give up on things [00:27:00] way before they even had a chance to work.
Or, if I wasn’t giving up on it, I just wasn’t going all in. Because I didn’t believe it could actually work because I was in such a rush. It was really in that, like, chaotic energy that I was talking about around this area of my life. And then when I was about 20, it was about the year 28, 29. I remember it was about around the year that I was getting married.
I thought I am so done with hating my body. I am so done with trying to lose weight all the time and just hating. You know, looking at myself and being so hard on myself and trying on 10 outfits in one given morning, not liking anything that I saw and being so hard on myself, I was just over it. So I decided, you know what?
I’m just going to learn to love the body that I’m in. That’s the work. I was like, I’m done trying to lose weight because obviously nothing works. That was my thought, right? And it was like, so let’s just do the work on our body. Let me just learn to love this [00:28:00] body. And I hired a body image coach. I went all in I’m doing.
Self acceptance work, self love work around my body. And I literally did get to that place, which is still an absolute miracle and shows the power of coaching. Right. Where I was just like, it was that thing of like, sure, I could lose weight, but I don’t need it. Cause I love myself for the first time. And you know what?
I just decided I love my curves and I can dress this body with curves. And I got to that place. And so, From that place, once I was there, I realized, wait, but I still want to lose some weight, right? I still want to improve my PCOS symptoms, but it was from a completely different energy. It wasn’t from, I needed, I wasn’t in a rush at all.
So I remember thinking, I’m just going to commit to this. And I don’t care if it takes me the rest of my life, I will get there, but I’m just gonna commit to progress [00:29:00] every week. I don’t matter, it doesn’t matter if it takes 3 years, 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, I don’t care. As long as there’s progress every week, I’m just gonna feel good about it.
What ended up happening, my friends, from this place of infinite patience? I lost 50 pounds in like, I think it took me 2 years, cause I was willing for it to go slow. But I lost 50 pounds. I completely transformed my relationship with my, with my body. Right? And that’s because again, I slowed down. I had patience and my thought was, I’m willing to commit to this, even if it takes me the rest of my life.
It literally was like, there is no rush here. And I want to offer that thought to you in your business. What if you just thought I am willing to do this, even if it takes me the rest of my life, I’m all in, I’m committed. And really recognize that there is not better than here. And you just learn to love here.
Because if you learn to love here, there’s no rush. [00:30:00] Right? And here’s the beautiful thing. That’s what’s going to make it sustainable. That’s why once I made The 100k it was so easy to sustain it I’ve made multiple six figures ever since in my business and i’ve made millions of dollars outside of my business And i’m on my way to a million, but I really in my business, right?
I’ve made millions outside of my business through real estate and other things But with my business i’ve allowed it to be slow. I’m not like I’m in a rush to, you know, have the million dollar business, which believe me, I was before, but I realized that energy doesn’t do anything and it’s not sustainable, right?
I want to be the person that like, I live this forever. This is what I love and I’m so good here and it’s going to be fun to manifest a million dollars in my business, but I’m letting it take the amount of time it takes. I’m all in. I’m committed to it. The end. Even if it takes me the [00:31:00] rest of my life, I’m going to learn how to make a million dollars.
I know it’s done. Right? Because I’ve learned how to do it outside of business. So I’m super, you know, it’s super fun to learn inside of business. God, that energy just feels so much better than like being in a rush to do it, thinking you’re going to feel better once you get there. Because the truth is you’re not.
If you don’t learn to be good here, you will not be good there. Same with body image and all that stuff. I realized like, oh yeah, there were times in my life that I had lost weight from these crazy diets. But I had gotten there and I wasn’t happier. I just wanted to lose more weight. And then I would end up gaining it all back.
It wasn’t sustainable. And that’s because of the energy that I used to create it those times. It wasn’t until I did it from this infinite patience place. That, you know, it was sustainable and I didn’t gain it back. And I’m in a place where it’s just like, [00:32:00] I love my body no matter what, even if I did gain weight, I don’t care.
And it just feels like this is my natural body. I’m good. You know, and like my symptoms are eliminated. I feel so much better. Um, I take good care of myself. It’s just a completely different energy. And same in business. So, I offer this to you because You know, I think it’s not something we hear very often, and it really is an opportunity.
So, I would encourage you to play with it, and I know this might not be natural to you. You may be a doer, and I get it. I get it. Me too. I’m a total doer. But, remember that slowing down is a state of being. So, I would use it as an opportunity to be intentional every day and slow down. How can you do that?
One great way to start is to meditate. That really helps you. [00:33:00] It’s like even in the chaos of your mind, you’re not moving. You’re sitting there, you’re slowing down, you’re breathing into it. It really, it slows down and it calms your nervous system, right? It’s like showing what meditation also does is it shows yourself and the universe.
Oh, it’s safe to just be for a while. It’s safe to sit. It’s safe to be still. And watch what gets created when you start meditating. Right? I remember one of my favorite meditation teachers, Pema Chodron, says, If you don’t have time to meditate, The most important thing you can do is meditate because meditation creates more time, right?
And it’s so true. Slowing down creates more time. So if you’re like, Jamie, I don’t have time to slow down. Guess what, my friend? That is your recipe. You must slow down because when you slow down, it will just [00:34:00] create way more space. It’ll create way more time. Just watch what happens. So experiment with this, play with this, and I think you will realize that this is the recipe to a much more sustainable business.
