Making Something From Nothing: Candace Charee’ of Effortless Manifesting On How To Go From Idea To Launch

An Interview With Fotis Georgiadis

Balance your time better. I had a hard time balancing my work life and home life when I first started. I thought it all had to be one right away. I have since learned that things will always get done at the right time.

As a part of our series called “Making Something From Nothing”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Candace Caree’.

Candace Charee’ is a manifestation expert, innovative trauma healing coach, and founder of Effortless Manifesting, LLC, where she specializes in helping people, just like you, manifest the lives of their dreams. By fusing practical strategies with the teachings of esteemed manifestation teacher Neville Goddard, she walks her students down the path of elevating to the next level and creating their best lives.

Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dive in, our readers would love to learn a bit more about you. Can you tell us a bit about your “childhood backstory”?

I come from a blended family of 14 siblings! I know that sounds crazy! Family get togethers were fun to say the least!

My parents divorced when I was two. Both of my parents were pretty poor. I remember my dad making us kids sit on the corner and sell oranges and nuts. It was fun for us, but looking back, I now see how he was trying everything to make ends meet. My mother was very poor as well and worked many jobs to take care of us. One time we had no milk and so I added water to my cereal so I could eat. As kids, we don’t fully understand what our parents go through just to put food on our tables.

Can you please give us your favorite “Life Lesson Quote”? Can you share how that was relevant to you in your life?

“Worry is like a rocking chair, it will give you something to do but it won’t get you anywhere.”

This quote taught me a lot about choosing to see things differently. Perspective is everything in life, and we can sit back and worry our life away, or we can chose to see the beauty in all things. Worrying, will never get you closer to your goals.

Is there a particular book, podcast, or film that made a significant impact on you? Can you share a story or explain why it resonated with you so much?

“The complete reader” by Neville Goddard, changed my life forever! When I first learned about him, I felt like I was breathing air for the first time. All the holes I found in the law of attraction, he cleared up with the law of assumption. I finally understood why so many dreams of mine previously hadn’t materialized. I recommend his work to everyone trying to become conscious creators of their reality.

Ok super. Let’s now shift to the main part of our discussion. There is no shortage of good ideas out there. Many people have good ideas all the time. But people seem to struggle in taking a good idea and translating it into an actual business. Can you share a few ideas from your experience about how to overcome this challenge?

YES! I call this inspired action. When we focus on the end desire of our goal, the final product, our vision, the universe will put people and circumstances in our path to help us on our journey. If we are too focus on the day to day tasks and stressing about how something is supposed to happen, we will miss the beauty in the process. I always recommend people look at the big picture, what is it that you want in the end? See this and imagine it complete. Feel it real until your body says “yes thank you! It is done!” After this, you allow these circumstances or bridge of incidents to happen that take you one step closer to your realized vision.

Often when people think of a new idea, they dismiss it saying someone else must have thought of it before. How would you recommend that someone go about researching whether or not their idea has already been created?

The beauty about being an individual is that no one can share your story the way you can. No one can speak and create something the exact way you can. YOU are the true product. When I started my company, I too worried that there were other coaches teaching the law of assumption but I had to quickly turn this perspective into motivation to be the most authentic and unique coach in my niche’. And because no one can tell it like I can, it eliminates the need to compare. Everyone is different and special in their own way. I no longer look at competition because we all get to share and connect with others in the way that will bring your tribe directly to you.

For the benefit of our readers, can you outline the steps one has to go through, from when they think of the idea, until it finally lands in a customer’s hands? In particular, we’d love to hear about how to file a patent, how to source a good manufacturer, and how to find a retailer to distribute it.

I believe the best way to create a successful business is about authenticity and authority. You must show up for yourself and your audience/customer. I recommend finding the few platforms you can connect the easiest on, such as TikTok, Instagram or Facebook.

Being able to share your story, why your brand is unique to you and how you are inspiring change, will bring about immediate loyal customers. People are loyal to me because I am real. I share my truth and I provide amazing experiences for them via coaching, or my guided meditations and bestselling E-book. It’s always about the customers experience at the end of the day.

What are your “5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I First Started Leading My Company” and why? (Please share a story or example for each.)

1. Balance your time better. I had a hard time balancing my work life and home life when I first started. I thought it all had to be one right away. I have since learned that things will always get done at the right time.
2. Don’t judge yourself. I used to judge myself quite a bit when being live on camera and worrying about how I sounded or looked. I got over that pretty quickly as my audience always showed me such love.
3. Prepare for massive success. I had no idea how quickly my business would grow! I could have used a good tax accountant a long time ago. ;)
4. Resist the fear of growth. I found myself afraid to achieve my dreams a bit. I’ve had to reprogram some beliefs about being worthy of this success.
5. Start TikTok earlier. I learned about TikTok from Gary Vee. I sat on this idea to join for several months. I would have started even sooner. TikTok has been the best platform for me to grow quickly and gain new clients and people who want to learn from me. I really love it and recommend every business be on that platform.

Let’s imagine that a reader reading this interview has an idea for a product that they would like to invent. What are the first few steps that you would recommend that they take?

I recommend you envision yourself being successful in this new company. What does it look like? Really map that out and be very detailed in how you want it to look. Then, ask yourself each day what is one thing I can do today to move myself closer to my dreams. Allow these new circumstances to come into your life.

There are many invention development consultants. Would you recommend that a person with a new idea hire such a consultant, or should they try to strike out on their own?

Everyone is going to need something different. The best idea here is to ask yourself what are your limitations and do you have the capital to hire someone else? I say, if you can have someone else take the load off, always chose that idea, as it will give you more time to be creative.

What are your thoughts about bootstrapping vs looking for venture capital? What is the best way to decide if you should do either one?

There is no right or wrong answer here. Take yourself to the end. What do you want? If you need a million dollars for your company, envision yourself receiving this money and celebrate it. See it done and know it’s yours. Let the right opportunity fall into your lap thereafter.

Ok. We are nearly done. Here are our final questions. How have you used your success to make the world a better place?

I have helped thousands of people change their limiting beliefs, heal their past and transform their lives. As I continue to grow my business, I intend to help millions.

You are an inspiration to a great many people. If you could inspire a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger.

I believe my current company is doing just that! I am here to guide, transform and heal as many people as will listen. It is only the beginning.

We are very blessed that some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US, with whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch, and why? He or she might just see this if we tag them.

I would be honored to have lunch with Tony Robbins. How he has built his company and his live transformational work is inspiring. I see myself touring the country and world, helping others transform and heal at live workshops similar to what Tony has done, but unique to me.

Thank you for these fantastic insights. We greatly appreciate the time you spent on this.
