We were lucky to catch up with Sarah Sparks recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Sarah, thanks for joining us today. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?
Thank you so much for having me and allowing me to share with you. What an opportunity! I think it takes focus, determination, clarity, and soul-aligned energy to be successful. I’ve wanted to give up and abandon my soul’s calling so many times, yet I have not. I remained committed to living the life my soul came here to experience. It is dedication and commitment to one’s soul, I think, is what brings about success. Which then my thoughts go to… have you connected with your soul? Do you know why your soul came into your body during this lifetime?
Sarah, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Of course, yes! I’d love to! I am an international best-selling author, podcast host of my own top 10% globally ranked podcast and recently launched my 2nd book “144 Wealth Codes to Unlock the Abundance Within” hitting #1 Amazon Best Seller in Spiritual Growth! Now, because of my partnership with Divine, my soul-led successful business serves clients in India, Canada, Mexico, and the United States. I am no longer ashamed of my spiritual gifts, my soul, who I truly am. I am free to be me, I have unlocked the abundance within, and am dedicated to showing you how you can do this too!
What makes me different from other spiritual mentors? My husband came to me in a dream 10 years before I met him. Both of our daughters came to me as souls before I conceived them, and they told me their names when they were in my womb. 12 years after I began this business, I channeled 144 Wealth Codes and realized they were all part of my divine plan from the beginning. Super cool to have this knowledge! I’ve dedicated my life to being the clearest, most divine channel so I may deliver the messages from your soul and Divine to you with the highest integrity. People tell me, “You’re the real deal.” I didn’t know what they meant; now, I do!
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
The lesson I had to unlearn is, “You do not have to abandon yourself for the love of another.” I was emotionally abandoned as a child and learned that in order to be loved I could not be myself, I had to be who ‘they’ wanted me to be. So, when a business mentor told me not to tell others how I do things (I channel, talk with Divine, and the client’s soul), I took it literally. I believed people didn’t want to know I channel Divine and another’s soul. Fast forward five years and my soul kept nudging me to share with people how I do things because that is what they really wanted to know. The people I am to work with want to know how to receive divine guidance and tune into their intuition to make life and business decisions. They want to do life differently!
So, I mapped out the five steps I take to listen to my own divine guidance. I use these five steps in my business, in my personal life, and especially when I market a new offer. I listen to my divine guidance on a daily basis. What I learned, as I began to share these five steps, is this is what people who wanted to work with me really did want to know. Once I unlearned this lesson and unleashed the steps for inner wisdom to the masses my business 10x in one year.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
When I first started this business, I would do at least five in person speaking events a month, mostly all for free, in the hope I would get new clients and grow my business. Most of the people I was speaking to were not my ideal client. As I spoke and gave presentation after presentation, I would get no after no after no. Or a lot of ‘no shows.’ I wanted to give up, but I didn’t. I dug deeper into the feeling that something was missing from my business, and the something missing was me. The true me. The real me.
I wanted to please everyone. I wanted to make sure others were proud of me. I thought I had to sell what they wanted me to sell, talk about what they wanted me to talk about. When I realized the missing piece to my success was me, then I was able to turn those noes into yeses.
It was my resilience to never give up on my soul, this business, and the vision of positively impacting those around me to be their true, authentic self, that brought me to where I am today. I had to be the true, authentic me before I went and taught others how to do this.
So be resilient to negativity and to the noes for on the other side are many yeses waiting for you to show up and be your true authentic self. Those yes opportunities are waiting for you, but if you quit you will never find out. Be resilient and keep going.
