The Energy of Money: How to Let It Flow into Your Business
By Elle Wilson
So many brilliant women fill their appointment books, pour themselves into their craft, and still wonder why financial freedom feels out of reach. You can be busy from morning to night, week after week, yet feel the quiet panic that you are running faster just to stand still.
Here’s what I want you to know: money is not your enemy. It is not something to battle with day in and day out. That is exhausting, and more importantly, it doesn’t work.
Money is made out of the same essence as you are.
It is meant to move, to flow, to expand. It responds to clear thought, to openness, and in business, to the value you extend into the world.
We often fall into the thought pattern that money responds to working harder. I profoundly disagree with this statement. Throughout my career there have been times I worked less and earned considerably more.
These were the times I allowed my heartfelt contribution to lead me. I was aware of the discomfort of moving outside my comfort zone, my nervous system firing off in disbelief, trying to pull me back. Yet I chose to flow forward with my expertise, my love of inspiring others, and my commitment to serve.
Money never finds me when I am contracted and overthinking. And even if it did, it could never fulfill me, because without nourishment and alignment with something deeper, money is empty.
I learned long ago that faith in the process of my life and my devotion to serve opened countless doors that fear, and tension kept closed. Even in moments of tightness in my body, or when my mind was running in circles, I could pause, soften, and hear the quiet words within: “I’ve got you.”
It took years for me to trust qualities that weren’t driven by survival mode. In my early career I was like a bull in a China shop, charging ahead, determined, working harder and harder. Yes, money came. But it left me hollow on the inside.
I discovered that money itself isn’t the answer. What matters is the flow, the faith, the knowing that you are made of the same essence from which beauty arises. When you align with that, the river of money opens naturally. Money, in fact, becomes the booby prize, valuable in the world, yes, but never the true source of fulfillment.
My fulfillment, joy, nourishment, and sense of wealth never came from the amount of money I made. They came from letting go into my life, choosing service, contribution, and inspiring others to step into their own potential.
For me, as a beauty professional, this meant always being ahead of the game. Better at that one treatment than anyone else in my location. Not from competition, that never appealed to me, but from stepping into a river of endless flow, adventure, and specialization.
In that river, I was untouchable.
So, here’s what I want you to consider: find that one perfect treatment you would do for free. The treatment that lights you up so deeply that you would happily give it just for the joy of creating it. That is where your energy shifts. That is where clients feel something different. That is where money begins to chase you.
Because money loves value. It loves richness, originality, and sincerity. When you extend real goodness into the lives of the women and men in your community, money cannot help but flow your way.
The energy of money is aligned directly with how you are in the world, everywhere. It is not a separate category. It is not confined to your business bank account. It responds to who you are in your conversations, in your home, in the way you choose courage over fear.
When you contract, you block it. When you open, it flows.
Money is not complicated. It does not demand perfection. It responds to alignment between your value, your courage, and your willingness to stand out.
You don’t need to exhaust yourself to earn more. You need to believe in your worth enough to create value others cannot ignore.
Stop trying to chase it. Instead, become the professional whose work, presence, and contribution are so rich with value that money can only chase you.
Because in the end, money will always be a reflection of what you believe about yourself, and the courage you have had to let that belief move into the world.
