The Art of Making Money & Success


Some folks are really blind about making money....they wonder why it eludes them. The simple truth is it's the intention behind it. We all want success and a better life but at what cost? Morally you need to take the high ground.

Lately I’ve seen a lot of people, some of them friends, do some really dumb things in an attempt to earn more money. They buy into lame money-making programs, join and promote useless MLM schemes, and fall prey to scammers.

The common pattern is always the same — they’re focused on trying to make more money. They make it their top priority. They think about it constantly. But they keep getting sucked into trying to make money without providing any real value, and it’s unsustainable.

In the end this sort of thing eventually self-destructs. The only way to succeed with it in the long run is to find lots of suckers and basically rip them off in order to enrich yourself. It's doomed to fail in the long-run. You aren't making money honestly, morally or with integrity. You are playing into an already corrupt system.

Instead of focusing on trying to make more money, put your time and energy into CREATING and DELIVERING real value.

Creating value means expressing your unique talents and skills in a way that can potentially benefit others.

Delivering value means ensuring that other people are actually receiving and benefiting from the value you’ve created.

The most viable long-term strategy is to create AND deliver value. You can mix and match other strategies with it, but this should be your primary method of income generation. If you get good at creating and delivering value, you can basically write your own ticket and enjoy lots of abundance.

When you are putting positivity into the Universe in any form, you will get it back. I wish you success and the fulfillment of all your dreams.

Love and Light,

The Doktor Witch Is In

Over the years I have gotten used to the daily e-mails from folks all over the world asking advice and 'prescriptions' for their skin. I get photos of skin conditions, descriptions of sensitivities and pleas for help from all corners of the globe. I ALWAYS take time out to personally answer each and every one of these e-mails.
 If I am being placed in such a position of trust on very sensitive topics, then they least I can do is be present and as helpful as possible. Over time my role seems to have grown organically from just a cosmetic chemist and CEO for my line into what I jokingly refer to as "Doktor Witch". Most people who know me or spend more than 5 minutes on my website or in my retail store, very quickly realize that I follow the witch path.
 Because of my increased role in things both internal and external I am taking steps to get my fully licensed Homeopathy division in place. Right now I can legally make and prescribe things for friends and family but not the general public. This is something that will be changing this year once I get all my little legal certification and insurance ducks in order.
 For now, my public role is that of licensed cosmetic chemist dealing with external issues only. Mr. Posh Brats comes into the shop with me on Saturdays to help with the heavy traffic flow of customers. I tend to stay down in my "soap cave" getting things made and restocked and making appearances when I am needed.

This is what I refer to as my "soap cave". This is in the cellar of my retail shop in Macclesfield on the cobblestones of Church Street. One fabulous thing about my soap cave is that the archway you see there is actually a blocked tunnel that leads to the church at the top of the hill, the old village gaol and the castle. This was all blocked up at least a hundred years ago but it makes for some interesting noises and spirit activity at times.

 I digress here back to the main topic at hand..... the gradual morphing of my role into one of a caregiver of sorts. Word in the village very quickly spread about our skin care products and handmade soaps more than anything else in the store. Because our prices are low in comparison to most High Street brands, people were skeptical. They plunked down their £ and "took a chance". 382497_10201100221938340_675482797_n
 What we found is that most Saturdays we have people coming through the door asking for me. I come upstairs and spend as long as I need to with each person making sure we get the perfect Rx prescription for their skin needs.
 Mr. Posh Brats will often call me upstairs to give advice or go into deeper discussion on a product for those customers that have a deeper need of the science behind the product. So, just as I have online for years....I am now doing this service in person. It is my sincere belief that this personal service and caring has been what helped build the PB brand with zero outside advertising. As far as I am concerned, the Doktor Witch will ALWAYS be in....
