The Importance of The Impression of Increase

Emily Williams at Kate Spade in Los Angeles

 

Maybe you can relate… 

“Convey the impression of advancement with everything you do so that all people shall receive the impression that you are an advancing man and that you advance all who deal with you. Even to the people whom you meet in a social way without the thought of business to whom you do not try and sell anything, give the thought of increase.” – Wallace D. Wattles

Despite implementing all the right strategies and marketing tactics, you might not be seeing the results you want. Perhaps you’re doing all the right things, but feel like you’re in a rut. Your business might be successful, but something might not feel right. You want to live your best life and step into bigger and better things, but guilt seems to hold you back. 

If any of those ring true for you, this is a must-listen episode. 

Truthfully, so many people out there, including many clients who come to work with me, are settling in life. They’re not taking their happiness or business to the next level because they feel greedy or guilty. (Or both.) So many of us have been raised to be grateful for what we have instead of always wanting more. In this episode, I flip the script on that thought process and encourage you to live your best life as your truest self. To help me do that, I dive into Wallace D. Wattles’ concept, the Impression of Increase. 

Join me as I dive into this concept, explaining that your desire is not only human nature but a sign of aspiration. It’s an indicator of drive. It’s the desire for abundance. The truth is, you can do all of the ‘right things’ in your life or business and still feel unfulfilled. This episode will help you uncover the roadblocks that are preventing you from showing up as your most authentic self and moving forward with your dreams. 

Maybe you want more money or success. Maybe you desire an increase in your happiness or fulfillment. Maybe you’re seeking more autonomy or freedom in your career. Perhaps you want a new car or a bigger house. Whatever it is, this episode is meant to help you live in a way that creates space for that desire. I truly believe that you can be grateful while still desiring more. (They’re not mutually exclusive.) I hope this episode can help you not only understand that truth but live it as well. 

Learn why wanting more isn’t an indicator of unhappiness. Instead, I teach you why how you show up in life and business is so important to your success and fulfillment. I talk about living in a way that displays the Impression of Increase and how to really step into that concept in various aspects of life. Between making certain mindset shifts and giving the Thought of Increase to others, this episode covers the basics that will have you on your way to living the life you are meant to live. This episode is perfect for anyone growing their business, selling a product or service, or simply wanting to live a life better than their dreams. 

With this episode, not only will you learn about this life-changing concept, but I invite you to step into your desires. To embrace your aspirations. To fully step into (and live) your truest self. It’s what you deserve and what your audience needs. If you’re ready to live a life that lights you up,  let’s dive in.

Quotes:

“There are so many people out there who are settling. They’re not lit up by their life, and they’re not looking to go to the next level because they feel guilty or bad.” -Emily Williams 

“Wanting more does not mean that you are unhappy where you’re at. It’s quite the opposite. I had to learn to be grateful for what I currently had in order to go to the next level. If you’re not experiencing satisfaction or gratitude for the current present moment, then why would the universe ever give you more?” -Emily Williams

“I truly believe that you can be grateful and desire more at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive. So if for whatever reason, you’re making yourself wrong for the things that you desire, please release that. I believe that our desires are dropped in. They are meant for us. Desire is literally just the urge for more life.” -Emily Williams

“Convey the impression of advancement with everything you do so that all people shall receive the impression that you are an advancing man and that you advance all who deal with you. Even to the people whom you meet in a social way without the thought of business to whom you do not try and sell anything, give the thought of increase.” – Wallace D. Wattles

“This is not about showing off, but it is about being a reminder of what’s possible, especially if you were creating a personal brand or you’re in the business of inspiration. That is really, really important.”  -Emily Williams
