527. The Business of Awakening with Step...

Stephan Spencer
About this episode

Most entrepreneurs ask: "How do I get my first client?"

My answer: Stop asking. Start delivering value—uninvited, uncompensated, and unapologetically.

When I dropped out of my PhD program in 1995 (drowning in student loan debt), I had no portfolio, no speaking experience, and no business asking Fortune 500 companies for their money.

But I understood something most don't: Your playing small does not serve the world.

  • In this Marketing Speak episode, I reveal:

  • The "willing suspension of disbelief" that opens miraculous opportunities 

  • Why I transform every interaction with the intention to "reveal light"

  • How trusting your gut is actually receiving divine guidance (not just random intuition) 

  • The NetConcepts pivot from web agency to SEO powerhouse after the Target audit

Whether you believe in spiritual business practices or not, I offer a compelling invitation: Try it as an experiment. Get into a high vibration and ask for guidance on which prospect to contact.

What's the worst that could happen? You might just double your sales. Repeatedly. 📈
