You followed every “proven” business strategy and still feel stuck? Do you sometimes wonder why others seem to skyrocket while you tread water—despite working just as hard? When I first came across Joe Dispenza’s work, I didn’t expect it to change my approach to business as much as it did. But after diving into his teachings on mindset, energy, and neuroplasticity, I realized something uncomfortable: my results weren’t being held back by my marketing plans, they were being held back by me.
Your results reflect your regulation
Joe Dispenza often says that our external reality mirrors our internal state. I used to think that was a nice, slightly “woo-woo” motivational line… until I looked at my own results.
When I was constantly stressed, anxious about cash flow, and worried about competition, I made reactive decisions. My copywriting sounded rushed, my offers lacked confidence, and even my video calls with clients had a subtle tension in them.
Once I learned to regulate my emotional state—through breathwork, short meditations before meetings, and even simple posture shifts—my decisions got sharper. Prospects started responding more positively, collaborations flowed more easily, and I wasn’t running on fumes.
Takeaway: your level of nervous system regulation will quietly dictate how people respond to you, your offers, and your leadership.
Why strategy without a state is sabotage
Let me tell you a truth that really stung: I had spent thousands on courses, funnels, and ad campaigns without realizing I was layering strategies on top of a mindset that was fundamentally misaligned with success.
Joe Dispenza’s perspective made me see that any strategy executed from a place of fear, scarcity, or self-doubt will unconsciously self-sabotage. It’s like trying to plant flowers in soil laced with toxins—the blueprint might be perfect, but nothing will grow the way it should. Before I optimized my email sequences, I needed to optimize myself.
The three beliefs I had to rewire to grow
1. “Success requires constant struggle.”
I thought exhaustion was a badge of honor. Dispenza’s work helped me see that being in a constant stress state doesn’t magnetize success—it repels it. Now I focus on working from creativity and clarity, not adrenaline.
2. “I’m not ready yet.”
I used to delay launches because I thought I needed one more course, one more skill. I reprogrammed this by visualizing myself already succeeding and feeling that confidence now, before external proof.
3. “Money only comes in certain ways.”
I had blinders on for how revenue “should” arrive. Once I rewired this belief, unexpected opportunities—like collaborations and licensing deals—started showing up without me forcing them.
What meditation taught me about funnels
This was the biggest surprise. I used to think meditation was something separate from business—a nice self-care tool, but irrelevant to sales. But I found that my best funnel ideas didn’t come from grinding over my laptop. They came during meditation, when my mind was still enough to connect dots I couldn’t see through all the clutter.
Reprogramming as a business practice
Another surprising tactic is treating reprogramming like any other core business process. Just as I check analytics or review finances weekly, I now have a regular “mindset and state” audit:
- Daily: quick visualization of the outcome I’m building, paired with gratitude for what’s already working.
- Weekly: reviewing what emotions dominated my work and resetting if I’ve drifted into stress.
- Monthly: refining my success beliefs by asking: “Does this thought create expansion or contraction?”
Joe Dispenza’s core lesson for me was simple but life-changing: You can’t out-strategize a state of being that’s wired for scarcity. Shift the state, and the strategies will finally have the room to work.
