Manifest Anything Episode #7: Inspired Action
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ready to stop watching your million-dollar ideas become someone else's success story? Manifestation isn't just wishful thinking—it's a strategic process requiring decisive action.
When you align your thoughts with your desires, the universe responds by creating synchronistic opportunities. You might suddenly land your biggest client ever or have a "chance" meeting with exactly the person you need. But here's the critical part most people miss: these open doors demand that you walk through them. Hesitate, and the universe will find someone else who's ready to act.
This episode breaks down a practical system for capturing and implementing inspired ideas. Starting with the powerful practice of "brain dumps"—taking time in nature to write down all possibilities for your next 12-18 months—you'll learn how to filter for alignment with your passions. Then, transform these highlighted concepts into actionable plans through spreadsheet organization and calendar mapping. This visual roadmap becomes your manifestation blueprint, turning abstract ideas into concrete steps with specific timeframes.
The guided exercise helps you identify three immediate actions aligned with your goals, prioritizing what feels most exciting. Whether you work step-by-step forward or backwards from your ultimate vision, the key is consistent, inspired action. Remember that time you had a brilliant idea that later appeared on an infomercial? Don't let that happen again. Your next breakthrough is waiting—but only if you're willing to act on it.
Thanks for tuning in to Cleaning Business Life — the podcast for cleaning business owners who want to build a profitable, sustainable company without burning out.
Hosted by Shannon Miller and Jamie Runco, each episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to start, grow, and scale a cleaning business — covering pricing, systems, leadership, boundaries, and the real conversations most people avoid.

Manifestation Requires Action
Speaker 1module number seven inspired action manifestation isn't just thinking, it's actually doing and taking action. The universe opens doors, but you have to walk through them. So you will start to notice that things will just suddenly appear or land in your lap like the biggest deal that you've ever had. Or you happen to go into the meeting and it's all synchronicity. You happen to meet the guy who is looking for the cleaner, who has five other retail locations, he needs the post-construction done and he needs to have them done in the next two weeks, and you were just talking to your girlfriend about how important it was for you to get these large contracts. So the universe will open doors, but you have to take action and walk through them. So the universe will open doors, but you have to take action and walk through them. So if you don't take action, then the universe will. It's synchronicity. If you don't take action, then the universe will swim around in the atmosphere until it finds someone who will take action. So it'll give you an opportunity. If you're saying hey, hey, hey, I'm over here, but if you don't take action, I have noticed it will find someone else to take action. For how many times have we all had great ideas and then the next thing, you know that idea is actually produced and being sold on an infomercial or on Facebook. I've had that happen several times because I did not take action. One time I actually won a really large contest and I had the pieces and then I lost the pieces because I had moved and I didn't win the million dollar prize, but I had everything. After the fact I was really bummed. It's because I didn't take any action. So taking inspired action is following those nudges, following those opportunities and any ideas that will move you forward to your goals.
Speaker 1Sometimes brain dumps work. If you're not familiar with what a brain dump is, I'm really good at this because I have pads of paper everywhere, but you just take a pad of paper, you go out on the patio. I actually live in a small town. I have the National Forest, so I'll go to the forest and I'll just turn my phone off and just brain dump all of these ideas on what I want to work on next for the next 12 to 18 months, and then I actually will bring them home and I will highlight the ones that interest me. So after I've highlighted the ones that interest me, this is my actual process Then I plug them into an Excel sheet on my Google Drive so that my VA can go through them with me and she can help create templates.
Action Steps and Alignment Exercise
Speaker 1Or you can go to ChatGPT if you don't have a VA and use the free account. And then after that, then I map it out in a calendar system for the year. I have this huge calendar that. It was like a big, fat calendar. They sold them at the beginning of the year, I believe it's. I wanna say it's five feet long and four feet high. It's big, it takes up a whole wall. And that's how I map out what I'm going to work on next, what projects I have, where I want to go with my business, what marker I have.
Invitation for Feedback
Speaker 1So make sure that you are taking inspired actions. And then the exercise for this module is write down three actions you're going to take this week to align with your goal, circle the one that feels the most exciting and start there. And then start your brain dump and then map it out. And then how am I going to step from step A to step Z? Or sometimes you can work backwards. If your mind works that way and it's better for you, you decide. I'm interested in knowing what you manifest. By all means, if you have a wonderful idea and you want to get some input on it, just email me. I'm happy to hear.
