Manifesting for small business: how clarity + action create real results
In this episode of Money Secrets, Fi lifts the veil on a topic that people often misunderstand: manifesting. But instead of the fluffy, magical thinking you might see on Instagram, Fi brings 25 years of real small-business experience and the neuroscience-backed approach that explains why manifesting works, and how to use it strategically.
Fi breaks down the difference between wishful thinking and the powerful combination of clarity, intentional thought, and consistent action. Whether you’re manifesting your first $100K year, more confidence, or better business opportunities, this episode shows how to turn your thoughts into movement, and movement into results.
🎧 Tune in to explore the science of focus, the power of speaking goals out loud, and why small business owners must pair mindset with action to create the outcomes they want.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why manifesting does work: Fi explains how manifesting is really a clarity practice + behavioural shift, not a lightning bolt from the universe.
The neuroscience behind manifesting: Dr Tara Swart’s work shows that when you repeat a goal often, in your mind, writing, or voice, your brain starts noticing opportunities that were always there (Hello, white Toyota Corolla effect).
Why clarity is the true foundation: You cannot manifest what you cannot name. Fi shares why speaking your goals out loud to a trusted person can fast-track clarity.
How repeating your goals changes your behaviour: When you keep telling yourself, “I want to make $100K this year,” you show up differently. You market more, network more, back yourself more, and take smarter action.
Why community and coaching make manifesting more powerful: Speaking your goals out loud helps create clarity, accountability, and momentum, which is why Good Money Club is built around thinking, planning, and acting together.
The importance of mapping out the how: Once you know the goal, the next step is breaking down the actions that get you there, something Fi teaches and supports inside Good Money Club.

I'd like to pay respect to elders both past and present, and note that sovereignty has never been ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
