E123: Money Is Energy: How to Align Your Faith & Finances

Money is energetic—and if you’re an entrepreneur, how you align with that energy determines how much flows into your business. In this episode of Kitchen Table Dreams, I’m sharing a powerful download I received about what it really means to pray for money, how to set bold financial goals, and the mindset shift required to become an energetic match for abundance.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
• Why praying for money isn’t enough—and what to pray for instead
• How to set an “unrealistic” income goal that activates new opportunities
• The system I use to tell every single dollar where to go (cash, investment, business, family, fun)
• How to attach emotions and present-tense affirmations to your money goals
• The simple mantra that will rewire your beliefs around receiving: People love to pay me

This isn’t just about Q4—it’s about breaking old beliefs, stepping into your highest timeline, and building a business where money flows to you with ease.

✨ Applications for my Q4 Mastermind are now open. We start October 1!

Hey, so I've been having a conversation offline that I decided to bring online. And here's something I want to talk about. One of the things that I have been discussing with people is that money is energetic, right? Like as an entrepreneur, if you want to bring more money into your business, that is an energetic move. That's an energetic thing and you must be in full alignment with the energy of receiving. So. I was talking to someone and she was like, I have been praying for more money. And I said, well, that's the problem. And she was like, say more. And I said, when you pray for more money, you are not praying for the wisdom to know what to do with the money. Once you get it, you're not praying for more opportunities that this money will be continuous. You are not praying to be on a frequency where you are now an energetic match for not only making money, but also keeping it, right? And so these two things are not the same. And I was like, so like my prayer is a little different, right? So when I am speaking to God, angel source universe, like whomever your higher power is, whatever that belief is for you, mine looks a little different, right? And so I took some notes there on my phone. So you'll see me looking down so I can give this to you. as it was coming to me during a download while I was driving. So number one, I pray for opportunities. I pray for downloads. I pray to be on an energetic frequency that will allow me to take inspired action to bring more money into my life. All right. So let me help you with that one because I know that might be a little what. So I want to break it down for you. All right. So here's how we do this systematically. Number one, set an unrealistic stretch goal, right? If you've made $5,000 a month before, $10,000 a month, $20,000, $30,000 in your business before, that's not the goal we're making. We need to go above that because you've already done that one, right? Which means your brain can go and find evidence that we've already made 10K a month. So here are the things we need to do in order to do that. I want you to go further. Kimberly Houston (02:23.15) This is where the creativity, with the inspiration and where the downloading is going to come in. So let's just say for number's sake, you want to make $25,000 a month throughout Q4. So that's going to give us $75,000 by the end of the year. Is that possible? Totally. There's people who make $75,000 a month. So 25K is what we're going to go for. So we're setting a number we've never made before, and this is going to help activate you on a new level. So that is your first step. Your second step is going to be imagine what will happen if you make that amount of money. So if we make 25 K in October, what are you doing in the month of October? I don't want you to think about November and December yet. I only want you to think about the month of October. So if that means if 25 K comes to me in the month of October, how much of that am I keeping as cash? Like I'm going to like maybe go take it out of the bank or I'm going to make sure this amount stays in my bank account throughout the entire time. That's your cash amount. How much of that are you investing? So how much of this 25,000 am I going to put into an investment fund into a rock IRA as an entrepreneur? How much money am I going to invest? Because the thing we have to understand about building wealth as entrepreneurs is that Saving money doesn't make you a millionaire, investing your money does. So if you don't have a Roth IRA as an entrepreneur, I'm going to highly encourage you that you need a Roth IRA or some sort of investment fund that you can be working with. So what are you going to do? How much money is going into that? So now we've got money that we're keeping for cash on hand. We've got money that we're going to invest. And then is there something you need to do? do your kids need something? Is there X amount of dollars you need to be spending on paying down credit card debt? Is there X amount of dollars you need to spend on preparing for the overflow of the season? And now I need to order some things for my business, right? Like what are the things you need to be spending that 25 K on? I want you to write it out and I want you to take that 25 K to zero. All right. Every single dollar, every single cent. Kimberly Houston (04:41.033) needs to be told where it's going to go. By doing this process, you are now taking control of where your money goes. You know how like you get like this influx of money, this infusion of cash in your life and then you're like, my God, where did all my money go? You didn't tell it where to go. And so now you don't know. So I want you to figure that out for the month of October. What is everything you would do with that dollar amount. Okay. And we're going to take her down to zero. That doesn't mean you're spending it all. It just means that every single cent that comes in has somewhere it's supposed to go. It has intention and it has meaning. Then I want you to do that for November. Okay. So we make 25 K in November. Same process. Where's the money going? At this point we're in holiday season. So do you need to buy more things for the business? Do you need to buy more things for your home? Have you decided that this year you're going to outsource putting up your holiday decor because those two days you spend, if you're like us, those two days you spend decorating your house, you can pay a team of people who love to do this and they will come in and knock that out in eight hours versus you wasting two hours of your day. This is something we did three years ago. We have already paid for our holiday decor to be installed on November 2nd. It saves so much time and it looks better, right? There are people who have the gift of bringing the holiday season to you. So in my house, we are Christmas people. We are holiday people. We love the bird mums. Have we outsourced putting up Christmas trees? Yes, we haven't put up a tree in three years. We outsource it. We pay somebody else to do it. We love it. We're the first ones. We start her season like I've already claimed it. She's coming November 2nd. It's already on the calendar, right? Do you need to outsource something? If so, what is it? Okay. So. These are the things that we're paying attention to. So you're going to take everything down to zero for December. Same thing. I want you to repeat that process. All right. Now imagine it. And as you write this down, this is going to be key. want you to write it in the present tense. I just paid off $5,000 on my credit card bill. I just paid off my daughter's lunch balance for the year. Kimberly Houston (07:00.618) I just bought my kid the PS5. He's really had his eyes on for the last year and a half. Write it in the present, just like I just did X, Y, Z and allow yourself to feel it. Note how you feel. Do you feel safe writing that? Is there apprehension? Does it give you butterflies in your stomach and not in a good way? Right? Like what are you feeling? Are you feeling safe? Do you feel? Do you feel accomplished? Are you happy? Are you relieved? Have your shoulders like, huh? Is the tension gone out of your body, right? As you imagine that this money came in, you have it, you've done these things. How do you feel? Do it for every month. Every month should have your goals, the response to that goal, plus an emotion attached to it. All right? And then I want you, after you do those three and listen, you might not be able to rush through this and that's okay, right? So if you can't rush through this and it takes you a little bit of time to do it, cool. The next day, I want you to now go 90 days in the future and I want you to look back over the past 90 days You've crushed all of your goals. You made that 75 K and now I want you to write down, did you do? What did you do to make that happen? Okay. Now we're getting into the strategy. Now we're getting into the things that's going to allow that creativity. That's going to allow you to have a download. If when you sit down to do this, it stresses you out and you can't figure it out. Go move your body, go for a walk, go work out. might need to be near water, go take a shower. Another thing that works really well is going for a drive where you just kind of mindlessly, you know, doing it in the download might come to you. That happens to me all the time. Whenever I feel like, oh my God, I don't know what to do, I get in my car and I go for a ride. Typically by the time the drive is over, the download has come. There are times where I have to send a voice note to myself. Kimberly Houston (09:05.646) Or I have to pull over to the side of the road and like do things immediately, but the download will come friend You just need to change your location in order to get the download. All right, so I Want you to write it down. I really want you to think about it. What did you do? Who did you show up as how did it feel while you were doing it? Did you sleep more? Did you sleep better? Are you sleeping less? These are things I need you to pay attention to Did you do this with ease? Was this in the energy of hustle hard or was this an energy of I am a magnet for everything that I want. Everything that I desire also desires me and so it's going to come to me easily. How are you setting yourself up for that? If you imagine this, you imagine hitting that goal, but you feel exhausted, you are tired. You feel like you were on all the time. then I need you to stop and I need you to pause. And I need you to listen to what I'm about to tell you. That is a limiting belief that you have internalized and allowed to make decisions for you. Something happened to you earlier in life that made you believe that making money is not easy, that having the things that you want, need, and desire are bad, wrong, or out of reach for you. And I want to tell you right now that that's a mistaken belief that you have internalized. Now it's become a limiting belief and you're making a choice to do this every single day. How do I know? Because the thought that making money is hard is an opinion. That's not a fact. There are people who have been investing since they were 18 and they make money every single day and it's not hard for them. There are people who have put systems in their business that allow them to make money while they sleep. Kimberly Houston (11:09.74) that's not hard for them. The difference between you and them is that they had a belief that making money could be easy. And so they set up opportunities for themselves in order to be able to receive that money easily. And so if you are struggling with how do I make this easy, I want you to adopt a mantra. People love to pay me. Let that settle in your spirit. Let that settle in your spirit. People love to pay me. People love to pay me. It is a pleasure. You know, you go to Chick-fil-A and they're like, was my pleasure to serve you. Baby, it is other people's pleasure to give you their money. It's my pleasure to pay you. It's their pleasure to pay you. People want to give you their money. And I need you to accept that people love to pay me. People love to pay me. Here's why. When people make an investment to work with me, I am going to deliver a result that they could not reach on their own. So while people who are in my queue for coaching mastermind are paying me $5,000 to help them get to the next level, if they do what I tell them, not only will they make that $5,000 back, They will probably triple it, quadruple it, 10X it if they just have the belief that making money can be easy. Very simple, very simple. I am a coach who coaches from the sidelines, right? Like I can give you the plate. I can tell you what it is. I can tell you what to do and what not to do, but babes, you got to get out there on the field and do the work. And if you get out there and do the work, you will see a return on your investment, right? Like that's how this works. When people pay me, yes, it's a cash infusion for me. I can pay my bills, but the return on investment is now I get to pour into people and what they are paying me for in this moment will carry them through the remainder of their lives. It will not only touch their lives, it will touch the lives of the people who they were encounter for years and years to come. I am a person who knows I'm a fire starter. I change bloodline. Kimberly Houston (13:36.847) I might encounter you and you doing one thing that I told you to do will quite literally change the remainder of your bloodline for generations to come. And I know that that's my purpose on the earth. It is a pleasure for people to be able to work with me. People love to give me money, right? This is how you have to talk to yourself. Okay. This is called mirror work. Get in the mirror and tell yourself people love to People love to pay me. Every single time another ding ding goes off on your phone, babe, people love to pay you. Why? Because you are good soil. You are a fantastic place for people to invest in. You are a fantastic place for people to put seed in the ground. You are a good soil. All right? So just know people love to pay me. It's their pleasure to pay me because I deliver results. My work is of high service and worthy of compensation. I'm going say that one more time for you. It is a pleasure for others to pay me because I deliver results. My work is of high service and worthy of compensation. I need you to get real clear on who you are helping or serving, align your faith with the energy of knowing that the how will flow without struggle. There are a whole lot of times where I didn't know how I was going to pay for something. but it fully aligns to where every single month it still got paid, right? And so you have to be in the belief that you are in full alignment with the timeline of your highest good. Everything that you are setting out to get everything that you desire, everything that you want, it also wants you. Now I need you to take the first step. I need you to breathe through. I need you to understand that this is okay. This is okay. You are allowed. to dream bigger than you've ever dreamed before. Establish an energetic minimum. What is the absolute lowest money you can make in order to survive? I need you to know what that number is. What is the absolute lowest amount of money you can make to survive? For some people, it could be that you need to make $3,000 a month. You need to make $10,000 a month. In this economy, we probably all need about 10, 15, 20 or more a month, right? Whatever that energetic minimum is, like whatever the Kimberly Houston (16:00.984) bare minimum is to live your life, babe. That's your energetic minimum. Okay? Once you discover it, raise it. I want you to raise it because what we're not doing is building businesses that only allow us to not struggle. We're not building businesses that only allow us to be able to show up for other people, but not for ourselves. That's not what we're doing here. Whatever that energetic minimum is, I need you to raise it because the reality is if you are an entrepreneur, And if you have taken that vow of entrepreneurship, then you understand this is a calling. Everybody can't do it. And I know you think that every other person can do this. And I'm here to tell you they can't. Most people never take the idea. Remember the downloads we talked about? Most people never take the idea out of their head and execute it. You have a unique opportunity to experience the download, take inspired action, and then see it through. Okay? So if you are seeking a Q4 like you've never had before, if you are seeking a timeline shift, a timeline jump where you no longer struggle, you are no longer order to order, check to check, you now live in full abundance. These are the steps you should be taking in order to get there. It is a mindset shift. It is a physical shift because you're going have to move your body. You're going to have to. This is not an option. If you're watching this, you see I'm standing up because of the way the energy was flowing through me as I got this down low. Right? This wasn't a sit down type of situation. I'm standing because that's what I needed to do. It's going to be, it's going to require you to some physical things to move out of your comfort zone. Right? Kimberly Houston (18:03.682) There are things we need to do differently. There are people we need to meet. There's people we need to know. There are people who talk about me in rooms that I'm not in. I had someone send me email yesterday that was like, Hey, I want to nominate you for this. are the people who were at this event last year. Here are the people who were on these stages. I don't know if you have a rate or a media sheet, but like if you don't, need you to get it together because they see something in me that I didn't even realize they saw in me. And now they are talking about me in rooms. Number one, I've never heard And number two rooms that I absolutely need to be in order for me to be aligned with the timeline of my highest good. Again, money flows to me easily. People want to work with me all the time and it is a pleasure for people to give me their money. This doesn't have to be hard. It doesn't have to be hard. Other people are talking about me and bringing forth opportunities that will pay me more money as a speaker than I've ever made in my life. I didn't even know the opportunity existed. didn't have to go get it myself. Money flows to me easily. But when you fully understand those affirmations and you fully step into the fullness of that belief that it doesn't have to be hard, that everything you desire is your birthright, you can have it because there's a future version of you that already has it. And right now is the time that you make the mindset shift to become that person. If a future version of you already has it, at some point a past or present version of you had to do some things in order to get to that one. And so what are those things you need to be doing in order to have a very successful Q4 and then every quarter after that? That was a download I got for y'all this week. So if you made it this far through, appreciate you. Thank you. Love you real hard. Love you real big. Q4 coaching with me. does start on October 1st. I will leave open the opportunity for you to join until October 15th then I'm going to close it out. But I would love to have you. There's only going to be 10 people in this mastermind because I want to be able to give you my time and attention. And I want you to be able to show up in excellence as well as myself. There's lots of travel in Q4 for me. So I want to make sure I can show up in excellence for you and limiting the number of people in is the way to do that. Kimberly Houston (20:27.609) So if you would like to come join us, please do that information will be down below and on the screen as well. If you are watching this until next time, stay sweet friends.
