The Soul-Shaking Question
How much is your soul worth?
If you were to sell your soul, what would you want in exchange?
If you're willing to share, drop a comment in the chat.
I didn't photoshop this image.
It's a real sign.
Stapled to a real phone pole, in Los Angeles
With a real phone number you can actually call.
At the other end?
A recording asking you to leave a message explaining what you think your soul is worth.
It's an art installation by Rabi Torres.
But the question? The question is real.
And I’ll ask you again—what is your soul worth?
At this point, you might be a bit confused. You probably thought you were here to learn about generating wealth, and probably were hoping for a solution that didn't involve selling your soul to the devil, but let me ask you another question…
Isn't that what you're already doing? Selling your soul to the devil?
Did you escape the soul-sucking corporate machine and jump from the frying pan to the fire?
Are you still dropping from exhaustion at the end of every day?
Do you still have paychecks that never seem to stretch far enough?
Do you still find yourself…
Chained to a desk while life carries on without you?
Drowning in post-it note reminders and crushing under the weight of it all?
Crying about how there just aren't enough hours in the day?
Are you still kicking the can down the road?
Are you waiting for someday?
Someday, when you finally arrive—when your business is big enough, when your bank account is full enough, when you finally have time to breathe?
Are you now selling your soul to the soul devouring capitalistic monster?
How much is your soul worth?
What if I told you that the way we’ve been trained to think about work and money is rigged against us?
What if I told you that everything you’ve been taught about wealth, success, and the hustle is a lie?
Are you still waiting for someday?
What if someday never comes?
Because here’s the truth: money isn't wealth
I bet you're ready to fight me over that statement.
Flipping the Script
It’s time to flip the script. It’s time to rewrite what it means to be truly wealthy.
The Egyptians and Greeks didn’t measure a person’s worth by their bank account.
They measured it by their soul. They were on to something.
If the soul is the value of your life, then time is the currency with which it's spent. And every second you spend, you can never earn back.
So tell me—how much of yours have you already spent chasing a future that never arrives?
Because really, isn't that what we're doing? Selling our souls to the capitalistic monster?
I'm going to ask you one more time, What is the value of your soul?
Let's find out…
If I offered you $5 million per year but told you that starting tomorrow, you’d never have another free hour to spend with your family, your friends, or your passions—would you take the deal?
What if I offered you $1 million per year, but told you that you'd only get 1 week per year with your family and friends. Would you take that deal?
What if I only offered you $100,000 per year, but told you that you'd only have to work 2 days per week - and you were not allow to take on any other for-profit work. Would you take that deal?
What would it take for you to willingly trade away the essence of who you are?
And if you can’t name a price, then why—why are you selling it for so little every single day?
For the endless, soul-sucking grind?

💀 Are you sick of grinding yourself into dust with traditional business advice?
🛠 Want strategic, sustainable growth without the overwhelm?
🔥 Need clarity, automation, and high-impact action plans to reclaim your time?
🔮 Value authenticity and out-of-the-box thinking in business?
At the Business Witch Academy we are bringing action to inspiration and turning dreams into reality for freelancers, solo-preneurs, and new start-ups by ditching the hustle culture lies and teaching business owners like you how to reclaim your time, scale your operations, and find success in ways so easy, it feels like MAGIC. Here’s how:
Defining TRUE Wealth
They tell us that time is money and money is wealth. It's a lie.
Money isn't True Wealth.
Money isn't time.
The soul is the measure of the value of your life.
Time is the currency of life.
And the most valuable asset you will ever possess.
Every second you spend, you can never earn back.
Wealth is control over your time, your energy, and your choices.
We’ve already established one hard truth: every single day, we are selling our souls—selling our most valuable, irreplaceable asset - our time.
Not in some dramatic, otherworldly Faustian bargain, but in the mundane, everyday grind of life under modern capitalism.
We trade our hours, our energy, our creativity—not for the life we want, but for a promise. A future. A someday.
Next time, we'll be uncovering the lies that are keeping us from our dreams.
Stay Magical,
Cheryl
