About

Welcome.

Hi, I’m Emma McCreary, the creator of Tao of Prosperity.

Here’s the thing.

I’ve had two goals for the past 10 years:

  1. to create a life where I would not have to struggle with money and could work from inspiration and desire (not economic necessity)
  2. to heal my childhood wounds and attain a lasting sense of peace and happiness

Trying to figure those out, I ended up on one of those “spiritual journey” type things.

What the heck is a “spiritual journey” anyway?

What it means to me is: you keep looking at yourself to try to see more and more clearly who you really are. Beyond all the “stuff” like fear, anger, thoughts and beliefs you have about yourself, ouchy stuff from your childhood.

It also means this: you keep looking at whatever is in front of you to try to see it more and more clearly. You look because a lot of what you see is actually the world mirroring your “stuff” back at you.

So why do all this?

Because if you can clear the “stuff” away – you can see the pureness in things. In yourself. In others. In the world. There is an innocence and beauty in every heart. And there is a flow of harmony that runs through things, that humans experience as the feeling of love, joy, and peace. It also feeds your creativity – what you create is not really from you, it comes through you and thus ends up with your flavor – but the ideas, the magic, the power come from the Divine.

So to sum up, here is why I do this work:

  • to feel that juicy alive vibrant free loving joyful happy feeling as much as humanly possible
  • to get along better with others (easier to do when you are not projecting “stuff” onto them and can just love and accept them)
  • because I get more of the flow of Divine ideas and goodness coming through me which feels awesome

Along the way I’ve worked through (at least partly) various issues like:

  • wondering if I belonged on this planet
  • negative beliefs about money
  • recurring depression episodes
  • lots of anger
  • some communication, um, problems

And, I’ve had my own business through it all. I’ve worked with it, worked on it, let it work on me, and worked out a lot with it. A business is right up there with a spouse and your kids as “mirrors” to show your stuff.

My search for answers have intertwined business, spirituality, money, and creativity. It’s like one big awesome transformation soup in my head.

I’ve created this site to share what I’ve learned along the way.

  • how to use everything in your life as an opportunity to see yourself and dissolve the “stuff”
  • how to get through the gnarly emotional stuff by being awesome to yourself in the ways that you wish other people had been, way back when
  • reframing and/or rejecting and rewriting the cultural “stuff” (which is like, half of the “stuff” in your head) – ass-backwards ideas about what money, God, love, and business are and can be- with more helpful/useful/true ideas
  • rethinking how “hard” life and business really has to be – and going for serious ease, joy, fun, and excessive happiness
  • clearing enough “stuff” that you become completely intoxicated with life
  • opening up those creative channels so that the Divine stuff can pour through you clean and clear
  • knowing in your soul that you are legitimate, awesome, and needed on the planet

What else? Oh yeah – I’m not just a woo-wooer – I’m a business geek.

I’m an entrepreneur and a web geek – I’m not just all woo-woo all the time.

I love business, I love marketing. I love strategy and systems. I get passive income, automation, and why these are essential to small biz microbiz solopreneur folks like me and maybe you.

I also love combining these “mundane” interests with spirituality:

  • learn to live and work in harmony with the natural flow and ebb of the Universe – stop pushing rocks uphill, stop working like a dog, and let the river carry you
  • understand and express your unique nature and purpose, the one thing that no-one can replicate or compete with you for
  • bring that Divine unique spark into your business – the heart of attraction-based marketing
  • make your business a platform that supports you deepest dreams of aliveness and joy
  • bring beauty, harmony, peace, and joy into the everyday life of your work and business
  • come to business with a humility and gratitude for the true abundance of life

I like to mix things up. I want to bridge the gaps that sometimes exist between things like:

  • work and ease
  • marketing and authenticity
  • money and fun
  • “the real world” and a deep faith in love

I feel incredibly grateful.

I am deeply grateful for the abundance and beauty in my life. I am humbled to offer a vision of deep faith that we are all guided and supported when we strive to give a voice to our soul.

I believe business can be an incredible tool for personal and spiritual transformation. I am delighted to bring that consciousness to the world of business and income – a world with so much potential to heal.

If this works calls to you, I invite you to learn more about what I do when I work with people.
