Accidental Entrepreneurship, Being Seen on the Internet & Manifesting Aligned Friends with Intuitive Healer & Medium Nicolle Merrilyne
The Power of Accidental Entrepreneurship: Nicole Marilline’s Spiritual Business Journey
In a world where entrepreneurship often feels meticulously planned, Nicole Marilline’s journey tells a different story—one of accidental entrepreneurship, spiritual growth, and finding her path in business through her intuitive gifts. Nicole's story is inspiring, especially for those who find themselves drawn to unexpected opportunities and organic paths to success.
Spiritual Awakening & Intuitive Healing
Nicole’s entrepreneurial path began with a profound spiritual awakening. While working at a meditation studio, she felt called to explore more deeply into the world of spirituality. This led her to pursue certification in intuitive healing, a modality that focuses on helping others understand their energy and emotions.
Her spiritual gifts started manifesting in the form of intuitive readings, which she initially offered on a donation-based model. What began as a fun side activity quickly revealed itself to be much more, as clients kept coming back and sharing their experiences. Over time, Nicole realized that her calling could also become her business.
The Beauty of Accidental Entrepreneurship
Nicole emphasizes the importance of "accidental entrepreneurship"—the idea that some businesses aren’t meticulously planned, but rather emerge from passion and organic growth. She encourages others to lean into their intuition and let their work evolve naturally. For Nicole, this meant allowing her spiritual practice to blossom into a business without forcing it.
She also highlights the importance of having a financial safety net while building a business. This, she says, allowed her to create from a place of joy and inspiration rather than out of fear or necessity. For anyone considering launching a business, Nicole’s advice is simple but powerful: don’t be afraid of starting small, and trust that success can come from following what lights you up.
Overcoming Fear & Insecurity
Like many entrepreneurs, Nicole faced her share of personal challenges, including insecurity and the fear of showing her face online. The pressure of building a public persona can be daunting, but Nicole believes that repetition and practice helped her build confidence. She shares openly about her journey of overcoming these fears and encourages others to push through their own insecurities by taking small, consistent steps.
Finding Your Unique Manifestation Techniques
Manifestation plays a major role in Nicole’s spiritual and entrepreneurial journey. In a conversation with Andi, she dives deep into the art of manifestation, offering a nuanced perspective on both specific and non-specific techniques. Whether you prefer to visualize clear, specific goals or embrace a more open-ended approach, Nicole stresses the importance of finding what works for you.
A key takeaway is that manifestation is not a passive process—it requires action. Nicole advises her audience to engage their senses and embody the energy of what they want to manifest. By immersing yourself in the experience and feelings of your desired outcome, you create a powerful energetic shift that helps bring your dreams into reality.
Manifesting Aligned Friendships
Nicole also highlights the importance of manifesting aligned friendships. She shares how sometimes, a “shedding period” is necessary to create space for new relationships that truly resonate with where you are in your life. This shedding is a natural part of personal growth and should be embraced rather than feared.
Get on the Smart Girl's Mastermind
For anyone looking to turn their passion into a full-fledged business, Nicolle highly recommends joining the Smart Girl’s Mastermind. This mastermind has been pivotal in her own success, providing her with the support and tools she needed to scale her spiritual business.
