Join me as I sit down with an incredible group of Ruler entrepreneurs and alumni from my Sacred Money Archetypes® course. We discuss the strengths and challenges these business owners experience as Rulers and how they now use their Money Archetype to achieve success.

How did it feel when you found out you were a Ruler?

When I first found out, I had just finished preschool tours with my daughter.

All the other parents asked about the curriculum and I asked about how many kids were enrolled in the school. I started doing the math on what the school's annual revenues likely were.

I thought, “Wow, y'all are great businesswomen." It just is who I am. Being a Ruler just made my whole entire life make sense. Even stories my mom told about me as a kid made sense.

It was a complete surprise that I was a Ruler. I thought being in a caring profession like Psychotherapy, I would naturally come out as a Nurturer.

But Nurturers are mother-type figures and what do mothers do? They rule their little empires!

When I did more research on being a Ruler, it did make perfect sense for that matriarch figure in me. It's been really a revelation, as it's allowed me to empower myself. It also balances out the Nuturuer's tendency to overgive.

How do your top three Archetypes work together?

My Celebrity side was doing a radio show every week. It was so much fun for me, even though hardly anyone was listening. I started to feel bad because I was spending lots of time doing these fun projects when I could be doing more on my business and making more money.

The Accumulator in me didn’t want to have fun. It wanted me to be thinking about my business all the time.

I had to find the balance between wanting pleasure and actually allowing myself to experience it. I can have fun and still be living mortgage free!

How does your Ruler sabotage you in business?

As a Ruler, asking for help is still so hard because I feel like I can do it all.

Yet thanks to Sacred Money Archetypes, learning how to delegate, outsource, and just cancel things that I shouldn’t be doing anyway has been huge for me.

It’s also hard for me to just sit back, relax and let things be. Even though in my business, I’ve built a successful model where it runs like a well-oiled machine, even when I’m not there. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to be!

I don't think my Ruler traits were the sabotage. It was my own sense of shame over them. I felt like I needed to be more of a Connector or Nurturer. I was not truly allowing myself to lean into my strengths.

After Sacred Money Archetypes, I feel like I know where I'm called.

I know what I'm compelled to do. I just have to allow it to unfold, hiccups and all without feeling shame for it. I know what I’m great at, I know what to outsource. I don’t have to do things the hard way.

We are in a world where patience is a virtue, but I also think as girls and women in particular, we're given that message enough.

Little boys will have enough models of successful, lovely men who are rich. It is also important for girls to get that, too.

Being a Ruler is why I struggled to hire anyone to support me in my business. It’s also why I've been a one-woman show since day one.

But since Sacred Money Archetypes, things are quickly changing and I find myself opening up.

However, I also find that clients come to me because of the Ruler energy. They like my no-nonsense, get-it-done-perfectly attitude.

Sometimes I come up against, "If I say it too forcefully, I'm too bossy. or I'm too nudgey, are they going to stop liking me? Are they going to no longer work with me?" When in reality, my clients need that push and that's why they're coming to me. So I've stepped into it being a Ruler.

It was a mindset shift I had to have and Denise definitely supported me through it.

What would you say to someone who wants to join Sacred Money Archetypes?

It opened up so many things for me. I always felt like I'm strange. I'm different from everybody else. When I joined and learned I am a Ruler, I thought, "That's me and others are like me, so it's okay to be like this."
It helps so much to reflect on yourself and choose the right business for you. Plus, I’ve been able to get to know the other money archetypes as well.

This has helped so much in my business, especially from the marketing point of view as I now know what people need.
