Are you an entrepreneur who feels caught in the “hustle and grind” culture, disconnected from the passion that made you start your business? Christine Kane’s The Soul Sourced Entrepreneur offers a powerful antidote. The book provides a clear framework for building a successful, profitable business that is deeply aligned with your intuition, values, and authentic self—moving you from ego-driven striving to “soul-sourced” success.
For those who have already read this transformative book, the following checklist is a practical memory support. Use it to integrate Kane’s core principles, manage your mindset, and ensure your business strategy truly comes from your soul, not your ego.
Checklist 1: Discerning Your “Source”
This is the core practice of identifying why you’re making a decision. Is it from a place of fear, comparison, and “shoulds” (Ego), or from a place of intuition, core values, and authentic alignment (Soul)?
- Did I pause to ask if this decision feels aligned and expansive, or contracted and fearful?
- Am I taking this action because of external pressure or comparison, or because it genuinely serves my core vision?
- Have I checked if this choice is a reaction to a “shiny object” or fear (ego), rather than a proactive, aligned step (soul)?
- Does this path allow me to be my most authentic self, even if it’s unconventional?
Checklist 2: Upleveling Your Identity
Your business can only grow to the level of your self-concept. This step involves intentionally challenging old, limiting beliefs and consciously stepping into the identity of the successful entrepreneur you are becoming.
- Have I identified the limiting “I am…” or “I’m not…” statements that are creating resistance in my business?
- Am I actively challenging an old belief when it surfaces during a difficult task (like sales or marketing)?
- Did I define what the “next level” version of me would think, feel, and do in this specific situation?
- Am I making choices today that align with the successful business owner I want to be, not the person I was?
Checklist 3: Choosing Strategy Over Tactics
This practice helps you avoid “shiny object syndrome.” It’s about focusing on your unique, simple, and aligned strategy rather than chasing scattered, popular tactics (like a random new social media trend) that don’t fit your bigger picture.
- Is this new idea a “shiny tactic,” or does it fit seamlessly into my long-term business strategy?
- Have I clarified my own simple, repeatable strategy for marketing and sales that feels authentic to me?
- Am I prioritizing mastery of my core strategy over experimenting with multiple, unrelated tactics?
- Does this activity directly support my main business goal and align with my “soul-sourced” plan?
Checklist 4: Creating Your Client Filter
You must define and communicate exactly who your ideal client is (and is not). This “filter” ensures you attract the right people and authentically repel those who aren’t a good fit, saving energy for everyone.
- Have I clearly defined the specific characteristics, problems, and mindset of my ideal client?
- Is my marketing and messaging speaking directly to that ideal client, using their language and values?
- Am I comfortable with the fact that this specific, authentic messaging will likely repel non-ideal clients?
- When a “red flag” client appears, do I uphold my boundaries and filter, even if it means turning down short-term revenue?
Checklist 5: Making Clean Offers
This step reframes “selling” from a pushy or needy act to one of service. It’s about making clear, confident, and simple invitations (offers) for your ideal clients to get the solution they are looking for.
- Is my offer presented clearly, confidently, and without any “needy” energy or apology?
- Have I focused my offer on the transformation or solution I provide, rather than just the features?
- Am I making offers consistently, viewing it as a simple, helpful invitation rather than a high-stakes ask?
- Did I detach my personal self-worth from the other person’s “yes” or “no” response to the offer?
