Your Prosperity Future

The Summer Solstice is a pivotal energy shift that can be used to increase your prosperity. The key is to be conscious of the shift and position your energy to benefit from the shift.

This is the completion of the expansion cycle and the beginning of the contraction cycle. The expansion started with the Winter Solstice around December 21st. It was when the energy shifted from collecting energy into setting up the patterns for what you wanted to manifest in the next cycle. It was a good time to set goals for the next six months of transformation and manifestation. Think of the goals as the seeds of your future which used the cycle of expansion to sprout and grow.

Now you are at the completion of the cycle of germination and growth and are moving into the collection of the results of the expansion. It is a time to focus first, foremost and constantly on gratitude. Gratitude is the magnet that prepares your energy for receiving everything that is coming to you. The most powerful position is to be open to receive the Divine gifts of transformation that you have initiated coming to you. This only can happen if you are open to receiving. Gratitude is the antenna that allows you to get good reception.

It’s important to recognize the scope of what you are about to receive to maximize the benefits and the abundance. Remember that you are a work in progress that is constantly being transformed. The core of your transformation comes from what you receive in energy, lessons, connections and support. Be aware and grateful for all of these areas. Objects and possessions are at the end of the list and of the lowest value so do not let that be the focus of your gratitude. There is nothing wrong with objects, it’s just that too many people focus on objects and miss the amazing abundance that is coming to them all the time. When the focus is on objects it can block the reception of all of the other great abundance that comes to you.

A great tool for expanding your reception is to journal. Every day write down all that has come into your life. This includes experiences and lessons that you may not understand as being what you wanted but ultimately, if they come to you there is a reason. By capturing the information in your journal, it gives you time to reflect on it and use the information in the future. Have gratitude as you record each new manifestation. Meditate on it and receive it into you. Feel the joy of receiving a gift, especially if it is something that you don’t understand or think you didn’t want. Often the challenging events or energies are the most precious for moving you forward on your path.

During the collection and reception phase the energy cycle is also contracting or pulling more deeply inside. Since the Summer Solstice is the peak openness it is a great time to feel yourself absorb the bounty at the highest rate. As the season progresses into Autumn and Winter, the rate of reception reduces but the intensity of what you have within you increases. As the contraction tightens is the time to use all of the energy, experiences and events that you have been harvesting all summer and use it to transform yourself to the core in preparation for the next cycle of expansion and growth.

Getting the Most Out of the Solstice

1. Take a few moments to breath deeply and feel all the light you can, expanding into your being. You can breath in more light and energy today than any other day of the year. This is the peak expansion moment.
2. Lock in your reception mode by starting a new journal for the new cycle. Buy a note book and start it today. The more you use it, the better the results.
3. Take time to do a gratitude meditation, preferably with like minded people who understand the power of the Solstice. The more gratitude you can collectively focus on, the more you will all attract to yourself. Give thanks for the opportunity to grow and ask that you may have an abundance of what you need to continue to transform yourself and that it comes to you in the most harmonious and easy way.

By making this part of your daily reality, you will experience the coming cycle of transformation on a very profound and perpetual level. Repetition is key to gaining the benefits of the cycles. Constant focus is the key. If you have ever studied a guru, saint, master or teacher who is enlightened, you will see that the only difference between you and them is that they have mastered focusing on the Divine every moment of the day and night. The more they focused on the Divine, the more exulted their state. The key is to create the environment that will keep you focused on receiving the abundance of the Divine.

So celebrate the Summer Solstice and use the energy to receive the abundance you deserve.

Sincerely,
Kris

“Actions are more important than words. But energy is more important than actions.”

Ananda, Age 4

She meant every word of it. She is building her understanding of her world. It was unsolicited advice during a walk on the beach. How wise. And yet, aren’t we born knowing everything and we lose our connection with the truth of life as we learn more information and facts?

This seems to be the pattern. We are connected with our source at birth and as we use language to categorize our world and develop personality from the influence of others around us, we lose our connection with source. We lose the most precious thing we have. It’s where the ability to manifest what we want comes from.

But why do we do this? It appears to be the human condition. We work to simplify our understanding of the world by naming and categorizing everything in it. And yet every time we name something, we limit it. And this process continues throughout our education and socialization process. It’s all part of a bigger push to make us all fit together in a social fabric. And the irony is that the more we attempt to simplify our understanding of the world, the more complex and convoluted it becomes.

Understanding this is at the start of recovering your prosperous nature again. The path requires letting go of the naming and categorization so you can make your mind clear and open again. It’s in the open and clear state that you can receive the creativity, inspiration and knowledge that you need to manifest your full potential.

Listen: Listen to the sun rise and set, listen to the stars at night and listen to the breathe moving in and out of your body. Be still and listen and suddenly your inner messages become easier to hear. Listen for the simple truth that resides within you. That is your strength. The sound of your soul. It can be trusted beyond all other voices.

The first voice you will hear is your mind. It will be trying desperately to stay in control of your life. Listen but do not be fooled. Keep listening until it gets tired and fades away. Get a Polarity session. Take a very long walk. Keep listening all the time. Eventually you will start to hear your true inner voice that comes from your source. It’s very different. It’s not urgent or frenetic. There’s no fear or confusion. It’s calm, clear and the most beautiful sound you will ever hear.

This is the sound of your energy. Align with this sound. You were born to be prosperous. There is unlimited energy available to you when the channels are open. This is the precursor to all action. Action will evolve harmoniously from your connection with energy. Staying connected with the energy while you act is vitally important. One creates the other. The results flow from the harmonious manifestation of source energy into action.

As we approach the final opening of the expansive cycle (June 21st) we are moving into the manifestation (harvest) part of the cycle. Harness this peak energy moment over the next 2 weeks and you can move farther and faster on your path than at any time before. Focus on connecting with source energy now and see how it transforms your life.

This is the essence of your prosperity. Enjoy it. Live it. Make it a full-time part of you. This is the gift.

Sincerely,
Kris

Understanding how your state of mind affects your energy and either enhances or blocks your success is fundamental to creating your future.

At a recent AMTA convention I had the chance to observe and talk to a lot of therapists and find out how they were doing. The responses were wide ranging but the underlying dynamics were consistent: The people who were curious and open to everything being presented were successful and the ones who had strong biases, positions and were close minded were struggling.

For example, one woman was extremely successful in her practice in western Massachusetts. She was also stopping at every booth, finding out what was being offered and asking a lot of questions. She was genuinely inquisitive and open to everything.

Conversely, one person who was struggling to get a practice going was cautious about coming up to the exhibitor’s tables, observed from a distance, didn’t ask questions and generally didn’t seem to be very open. I attempted to engave him in conversation and when I tried to give him an article that I thought would be beneficial, he refused to take it and said that he was skeptical about energy work and walked away.

The amazing thing to me was how he thought he was skeptical but his behavior and actions made it clear that he was simply closed. There is nothing wrong with this unless you are also trying to evolve and succeed. Here’s why.

When the mind is closed, it cannot see possibilities. A person may think that their mind is closed to one thing but that’s not how the mind works. The mechanism for blocking something out is either on or off. It’s the difference between being in a closet or looking out at a beautiful expansive view. Even though there can be creativity in a closet, there is nothing like getting into an expansive place to open up the possibilities. 

The person with the open mind who is constantly seeking is living in a spiritually awakened state that presents constant input and possibilities. Not only is this a wonderful and healthy state to be in. It’s also fundamental to success. Success comes from seeing possibilities and thinking in new and different ways. That can only happen when the mind is open to stimulus and being fed a diet rich with new ideas and experiences.

The question is, how do you stay open and is there anything you can do to stay open. The answer is a resounding yes!

It starts by taking active control of your environment. Do not settle for being in a dark space with low light. Almost without exception people who prefer low light levels are also chronically depressed or closed to new ways of doing things. Light is essential for stimulating the brain. The studies of the affect of light on the brain and emotions are plentiful.

Beauty is very important as well. Make sure where you are has beautiful sights, sounds and smells. These all either open you or close you. Take control. Use flowers, pictures, and whatever you can to improve your environment. If you can create living or working in a beautiful place with a view you will find your thinking expanding. If you can’t live or work in it, at least take breaks and go out and look around. Feel the sky over your head. (Head space is important. It feeds the crown chakra and allows your aura to expand.)

And get out and see the world. That’s why travel and new experiences are so important to creating success. It can be going to a convention, on a vacation to a beautiful place, taking classes, or trying new things that you have never done before. If you find it brings up some fear or excitement, it’s probably a good sign that it’s important to do.

And of course, do energy work on yourself that keeps your systems clear and open so you can continue to expand and grow.

So watch your behavior and notice how inquisitive you are and use it as a barometer of your openness. The more you can open the more you will succeed. The more time you stay open the more that will become your default state. The profound levels wellness and success this creates will manifest in all areas of our life.

In Prosperity,
Kris

p.s. Please share your experiences with being open or closed and how it has affected your success. We all have  much to learn from each other.

This topic is somewhat different but very important to creating future prosperity.

A key part of prosperity is investing the fruits of what you have worked to manifest. This only can happen to the extent that someone is not robbing you. Unfortunately, your pocket is being picked and it is going to get worse unless something starts to change rapidly.

The following article puts this in perspective.

Wealth is leaving New Jersey, BC study shows – Daily Business Update – The Boston Globe

It’s so simple, taxes cause changes in behavior. People move, they stop giving to charities and they stop creating jobs. Unfortunately, elected officials have jumped the shark and see the world very differently than entrepreneurs. Elected officials have a vested interest in finding ways to make government bigger. That’s how they get paid. The bigger the government is, the more they get paid. So they do this by creating programs that attract people who will vote them into office and support making government bigger.

One way this is going to change is when taxes get so high and government gets so big that it crushes the free enterprise system. This will make jobs go away which will reduce the collection of taxes and will ultimately lead to the collapse of the country and the government.

Of course, the alternative is for everyone who is in business or understands business to become proactive in helping to elect people who will reduce taxes. It’s not going to be easy because the politicians who are entrenched in the system will create every crisis they can to rally those who are benefiting from the welfare state.

Be involved with creating the right environment for prosperity to thrive. If we don’t, we pass on a more difficult world to all those who follow.

WordPress tricks me sometimes. The link to the prior post of Seize the Day is http://blog.prosperity.spatech.edu/2009/12/20/seize-the-day-use-the-solstice/ which will work much better than the previous link.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Solstice actually means “sun standing still” or the time when the apparent movement of the sun lower or higher in the sky does not change. But more importantly, it is a major shifting point; a point where the length of the days increase or decrease. This happens around December and June 21st every year. You can check the exact dates and times here.

The Winter Solstice is a particularly powerful time to focus your energy on what you want to manifest in your future. This is when your next cycle of birth and growth begins. It is the culmination of the inner cycle of harvest and accumulation of energy and the beginning of generating what you want to create. 

It’s like the launch of a rocket when it’s on the launch pad, full of fuel and ready to ignite and rise to the heavens. What happens in the first few minutes of the launch are the most important to the success of the mission. That time is now. How you start this cycle of manifestation sets the pattern for the next 6 months as well as the results that you harvest after June 21st during the inward cycle of harvest and accumulation of energy again.

To put this to work in your life, focusing on your mission, vision and goals  at this time is very important. Focusing now is exponentially more powerful in manifesting what you want than waiting until January 1st when things are already in motion. The reason is simple: It’s easier to get on a rocket when it is standing still than after it has launched.

So do it now. Use the energy of the day to create what you want. Write it down, make a treasure map and give it as much time as you possibly can. I know that can be challenging with all of the holiday activity. But every moment that you can devote to focusing on the future you want to create will put significant energy towards the creation of a positive outcome.

Have an amazing year.

Sincerely,
Kris Stecker

p.s. Here is a powerful tip: Share your vision, mission and goals with as many people as possible to multiply the energy going towards its creation. Please post what it is you are doing as a comment to this blog so we can all see what you want to create and share your vision. Sharing it with as many friends and family as possible (on Facebook for instance) will also kick it up a notch. Your mission is greatly needed to making the world a better place. Thank you for your contribution.

The greatest irony is that the people who need to read this the most are the ones who are least likely to read this blog. However, if you are creating a better life, please share this with those who you want to help.

These are truly amazing times. During the past month of meeting people at Spa Tech Open Houses and finishing off with the final ARYSE of the year, we are seeing a level of fear, creativity and manifestation, that goes far beyond anything we can remember. The causes, reactions and opportunities are extremely high. What does this mean for you and your prosperity? Everything.

To begin with, start by understanding the sources of the fear. We are overexposed to every bad thing that happens. Access to news (usually bad news because that’s what drives the industry) and the pure saturation and gory details has permeated all aspects of our lives. Most people listen to radio, watch television and get their news online, both by looking for it and having it pushed through ads and emails. The simple fear of being cut off from the news is horrifying to most people. 

What is unprecedented is the range of things to be afraid of. Between the economy, terrorism, and crime, all drivers of political agendas, we are exposed on a global level to things that we would never have known about in the past. But the scope has expanded to other political issues like health, food supply and the environment. And of course, our most basic fears of inadaquacy have seen a new level of commercial exploit with emails, stories and constant advertisements that we need better bodies or body parts, have more hair, drive better cars, and have better sex, just to name a few.

With H1N1 we are afraid of going out in the world, being close to other people or of letting our children or ourselves do anything. We are taught to fear the sun, going out at night, traveling, buying food that can kill us, being laid off from our jobs and losing everything, taking out loans to make our lives better and having our identities stolen. In fact, is there any aspect of our life that is not dominated by fear? FDR said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”  But it seems like fear is the predominant theme that most people live by.  It’s a powerful motivator and everyone from the politicians to the marketing departments know that fear is the best tool they have to control people.

Okay, so we are in a high fear environment. What does it do to us and how can we get beyond it so we are living our lives instead of the lives that others want us to live?

Fear causes multiple reactions. The ones that most people focus on are fight or flight. People become irritable, confrontational or they run away from what they are afraid of. Either reaction can be self limiting by missing opportunities, burning bridges or blowing up what’s already working. But the bigger problem is that it’s very different to fight for or run towards what you want instead of only fighting against or running away from something you are afraid of. One is based on love and creativity and the other is based on fear and avoidance. Only one leads you to connecting with your source where you manifest what you desire and need.

But the biggest reaction, which is often overlooked, is to freeze. Just like a deer in the headlights, we freeze and are afraid to take action. We can’t make decisions which leads to inaction. Our vision or perception is shut down and we can’t see opportunities. Rather than perceiving opportunities to grow, change or move forward, we only see the thing we are afraid of. And next thing we know, our hopes and dreams are road kill on the highway of life.

The other reaction that is also overlooked is fear overload or denial. This is when we lose the ability to process any more fear and go into denial that there are dangers. This leads to high risk behavior that is also self defeating. Unprotected sex, drug abuse and binge anything are all related to this pattern. People stop paying attention and shift to a high stimuli experience that blocks out most information, including important guidance and opportunities.

Again, all four of these reactions lead to limiting opportunity and potential disaster. Crisis is the normal outcome and the danger that we have been afraid of has been validated as real. This is a useful learning mechanism in our educational process which keeps us alive, but often we don’t learn the correct thing. It reinforces doing the behavior that we are most comfortable rather than seeing how that behavior created the result. Fascinating.

The reason the Open Houses and ARYSE were so interesting now is that most of the people who are attending are the people who are not hooked into limiting patterns by fear. They are the ones who see opportunity to grow, change and move towards their dreams. It is an exceptional group of people who continue to focus on where they want to be instead of what the situation is forcing them to do. Whether it’s people who have been laid off and see it as a wonderful chance to do something that is meaningful and life affirming, or people who are already in the industry and helping people navigate this time of their lives, the ones who are actively growing are changing the world. They are the example of the successful person who manifests what they want. They are focused on a more perfect life full of the people and experiences they love.

But the other really exciting thing is to see how the extreme concentration of bad news is increasing the number of people who are waking up to new concepts and opportunities. It started with a lot of people voting for Hope and Change, much of which has been disappointing. But this has also forced them to become the change that they want to see.  They are realizing that the only change that they can truly believe in is the one that happens inside themselves. And they are discovering that the only thing that is real is their connection to source and energy, not the promises that are made by advertisements and politicians. We are at the dawn of a new awakening. And as energy workers, we are in the position to do more to help more people than ever before.

So how is it that some people are able to focus on their dreams while others cannot? 

First, and foremost, these people categorically have stronger and more aligned energy systems. Many of them have been focused on their energy practices for many years, whether through meditation, the work they do or how they take care of themselves with regular sessions. With ARYSE it was very clear how the people that are getting regular sessions are in the best shape energetically. Those getting Polarity sessions are stronger. But by far, the strongest group of all has been the people who are giving Polarity sessions. The focus on their mission and the energy flowing through them is amazing. Because they are radiating energy there is very limited opportunity for fear to get in. The more they are doing energy work, the stronger they are.

Second, they often have gone through a time of crisis and broken the pattern of letting fear run their lives. During whatever crisis they experienced, they had a divine moment when they decided to change what they had been doing in the past and move forward into trying a new response to adversity. In the process they discovered how to recognize their default reaction to fear and to take a more conscious path. It started with one great leap of faith that changed their lives forever. From there they were able to establish new patterns when faced with fear. They have been able to recognize the events that occur but they interpret them differently than the majority of the people. From their foundation of staying focused on their mission, they are able to follow the energy and it leads them opportunity.

The third is that they have put what they learned into practice. Whether it’s getting regular sessions or immersing themselves into doing the work, they have made it happen. They have moved fully into making it an integral part of their life. They don’t just talk about it, they actually are doing it.They have made and continue to make the commitment every day. And that makes all the difference.

So what have we learned? Basically this. The news and events are useful information. However, the fear generated by the reporting and propaganda are usually detrimental to your success. As others have shown, it is within your power to change this. By understanding how you react to fear, making the choice to succeed, defining what that means, and taking the leap of faith to move toward what you want instead of away from what you fear, you can change you life and fulfill your dreams. But to succeed you can’t just say you are going to do it. You have to commit to it every day. Only the act of focusing on your mission and actually doing what makes you clearer and more aligned can you achieve the shift to a better life.

Keep up the good work. It’s so exciting to see the great things that are happening.

Sincerely,
Kris Stecker

When times are tough, it’s more important than ever to use every tool you have to succeed. This has never been truer than now. Even though an economic meltdown has been averted, the hardest is yet to come.

We are in a global economy and the rest of the world is hungry to eat your lunch. This is the stark reality. The prosperity of the past two decades has been an illusion driven by a credit bubble. That’s over and now the gloobal playing field is more level. Therefore we are all faced with a new set of challenges in manifesting what we desire.  You have to bring your “A” game to be prosperous in this environment.

The challenges are many:

• With the exception of student federal aid, new government rules are making it harder to borrow money
• New jobs will not be created until businesses can borrow money
• Through taxes we will have to pay back the money the government borrowed: This will take a long time and reduce your personal income
• An increasing population will continue to increase demand for everything, making everything more expensive
• An expanding population increases the risk of disease and shortages in health-care
• The health-care system will become increasingly strained and therefore more expensive
• Every one’s stress will continue to rise making us more vulnerable to disease
• There is no easy way out

As an optimist, I hate to bring this news. However, that’s the reality we’re facing. But here’s another reality. There are people who are going to be thriving. They are the ones with the clarity to see the opportunities that are created by the chaos. But why will they thrive while most people will flounder?

Clarity, focus and health will be their advantage. These are all things that you have a high degree of control over if you choose them.

This is so simple it seems silly to repeat it, but I know without a doubt that only a few people are smart enough to do what I’m about to recommend. You see, the solution is simple but people have too many internal barriers to giving themselves what they really want. So instead they continue to justify their suffering by blaming external conditions instead of admitting that they aren’t really committed to success.

So here is all you have to do: Find a good Polarity Therapist and get at least 2 sessions a month for the next year. That’s all. Can’t afford it? I find that is rarely true. People will spend $50 to $100 a week getting coffee, going out to dinner, getting drinks and many other things that may be fun and relaxing, but moves them no closer to prosperity. They will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a trip that gives them temporary relief and long term bills but they won’t invest in their health and prosperity. So again, it comes down to your choice.

Let me explain why Polarity Therapy will make you successful  and maybe that will give you sufficient resolve to get regular sessions.

First, clarity: Polarity sessions clear the energetic obstalces to listening to your intuition and information from your body. This is cumulative so the more sessions you get, the clearer the signals and messages become. This is a huge advantage over people who are walking in a haze and not noticing what is going on around them.

Second, focus: As your fears and other blockages are removed, your concentration is greatly improved and you are less distracted by the noise of your emotions and body. Your improved focus allows you to act on the information you receive from your improved clarity.

Third, health: You must have good health to have the energy to maintain your focus and accomplish your dreams. Some people are strong enough to overcome health issues and still succeed. But they do this by doing the most with what they have. Everyone needs to do the same. In this coming year with H1N1 and other diseases, it’s more important to do everything you can to stay healthy. Polarity Therapy is the best I know for doing this. Again, it starts with having the clarity to hear the signals from your body about what you need to stay healthy. A clear individual is more likely to eat right, get proper rest and exercise more.

By getting regular sessions your intuition and creativity will start working at a higher level and you will have the focus and health to put this information into action. You will also be better at avoiding problems and your success will multiply. It’s at the core of all success.

So it’s up to you. If you say you want to succeed it’s time to make the commitment. Don’t put it off. Contact Spa Tech Institute to help you find a great therapist.

There are no excuses. Only missed opportunities.

Wishing you a healthy and prosperous life,
Kris

Hi. My Name is Kris and I used to work for large corporations.

But I’m in recovery.

This all came back the other day after interviewing a prospective student. Her story reconnected me with the deep feelings of insecurity and dependence that I associate with the large corporate environment.

Her story was compelling. She is an intelligent person with a lot to offer, but the management of the company was making her feel inferior and undermining her self-respect and self-esteem. She had been reduced to an obedient, and dis-empowered, employee who was more focused on keeping her job than in doing what she knew would help the company. The situation was draining her life force and creativity as she kept her head down, afraid to speak up or make suggestions that could lead to improvements in the company. The fear of negative reactions had stolen her strength.

As I was driving home it all came back. I remembered the managers who would take credit for other people’s contributions, blame the people who reported to them whenever something failed and played politics to make other people look bad. This behavior was more in some companies than others, but it highlights the basic dysfunction of the large corporate environment.

At the core is the shift to seeing the competition for promotion as other people in the company rather than following a mission to improve the world. Departments competed against other departments and employees and managers were always fighting to get to the top or prevent others from getting ahead of them. The large company setting created insulation between the work to be done and the results. Therefore most employees focused on “playing the game” instead of fulfilling the mission.

I didn’t function well in that environment. I pointed out ways we could improve and managers would take my ideas as their own and would prevent me from talking to people who could have made a difference. I was treated as a threat and my enthusiasm and self-esteem were ridiculed. It was painful and took me years to forget.

But I will always remember the day I left and felt like I could finally breathe again. It was like climbing out of a swamp. I was a mess from the experience but with every step I grew stronger. Eventually I was able to reconnect with my creativity. It took years of Polarity sessions to recover my confidence and self-esteem but over time it returned. And eventually the feelings of dread and fear were replaced by the daily feeling of waking up with great opportunities to grow every day.

However, I also still remember the feeling of leaving the illusion of the safety net of the large corporation. At first it was scary to not have the routine or the structure. But as I watched my friends get laid off I realized that the safety net was only an illusion. It became clear that the promises that were made and the benefits that were promoted were based on fear. The term “golden handcuffs” was very appropriate. Insecurity was fed and expanded to maintain the addiction.

The realization of the personal price paid for being addicted to the large company benefits and indoctrination is a hard to describe until you experience something different. But for those who are able to break free and experience themselves as the source of their creativity and security, freedom has a new meaning. It’s a soul freedom that is hard to imagine. But it is one of the most important freedoms we have.

And this freedom is at the core of true prosperity. Prosperity and being a slave do not go together. Prosperity thrives in a culture of freedom.

So what do you need to make the change?

• Support from the people around you. Your friends and family are the most important part of your prosperity. Cherish the people who support you and eliminate the ones who do not.
• Courage to change. Change can be scary. The imagination can create many negative scenarios that never come true. The maxim that most of what we worry about never happens is very true.
• Willingness to act. The only way to change is to act. You just have to do it. Just take it a step at a time.
• Personal responsibility is key to change. Being willing to say, “Yes, I did that,” is the first step.
• Support from agents of change accelerates the process. Polarity Therapy is the best support I know of but exercise and other therapies and support groups are also extremely valuable.

So that’s all there is to it. The question you have to ask is this: If I do nothing to change, how is my life going to change 5 years from now. If I do nothing, what will change. The answer is almost always, nothing changes. Your life is just more of the same. The only difference is that you are more tired, frustrated, beat down and discouraged with every year that passes.

I wish you great experiences and prosperity as you take control and change your life.

Sincerely,

Kris Stecker, President
Spa Tech Institute

The power of having a professional license is often overlooked, even by the people who hold the license. Having a professional license is one of the most important career moves you can make. You join a very small and elite group that has privileges and advantages that unlicensed people will never enjoy.

Out of thousands of different jobs, very few of them require licenses. Retail, wait staff, office workers, laborers and even executives have no license. This is the vast majority of the population. Doctors, lawyers, nurses cosmetologonists, massage therapists and aestheticians all share the advantages of being licensed.

Licensure makes it more difficult for other people to enter the profession. This automatically increases the value of what you do. It protects what you can earn and also increases your credibility in the eyes of your clients. You have shown that you can do something that requires skill and understanding that goes beyond what the average person can do.

I can’t find data to back this up but if you notice, the majority of people who are laid off from work are mostly people who do not have licenses. Office staff, engineers, sales people, management and laborers are the majority of the people who are downsized or their jobs are exported to other countries. Professionally licensed jobs can’t be sent over seas. Things may be slower at times, but by having a license you pretty much can create whatever future you want.

How does this fit into your future prosperity? The answer is simple. An important part of prosperity is having the ability to consistently earn income at a higher rate of pay. A professional license practically guarantees security and higher pay than unlicensed work.

What’s interesting is the number of people who are in the process of training to get their professional license in cosmetology, massage, or aesthetics who do not recognize the earning power and status the license gives them. To fully understand, the best thing to do is to talk to people who have a license and see how it changed their life. You will hear many amazing stories.

The most important thing you can do to secure your future earning power is to get your professional license and never let it go.  Even if you take time out to raise children or deal with other life events, your professional license is the most powerful asset you own. Never forget this. Always keep it current and build on it over time. If you move to a new state, get your license ASAP based on reciprocity. But don’t let it lapse. It’s your ticket to creating the life you want.
