When florists step into the world of hotel and corporate contracts, their mindset often determines whether they succeed. It’s not just about strategy or business plans—it’s about energy and beliefs, especially when it comes to money. If you’ve ever found yourself undercharging, discounting your services, or compromising your values to make a sale, you may be operating from what I call Prostitute Energy.
But there’s another way: Lover Energy. This is the mindset where you honor your value, trust in the work you’re doing, and engage in business as a sacred exchange. Today, we’re going to dive into how these two energies show up in your business and why shifting from Prostitute Energy to Lover Energy is key to securing hotel contracts—and building a flourishing floral business.
What is Prostitute Energy?
Prostitute Energy is something many florists unknowingly bring into their business. You know you’re operating from this space when you feel the urge to undercharge or offer discounts right off the bat, just to secure a deal. It’s the feeling that you need to compromise on your value in order to be chosen.
This energy stems from fear—fear of not getting the contract, fear of rejection, or fear of being seen as too expensive. It shows up in a willingness to lower your prices or offer too much without recognizing your worth.

What is Lover Energy?
On the flip side is Lover Energy. This is where you’re in alignment with your values, offering solutions that honor both you and your client. In this energy, you trust that you’re providing immense value and that the right clients will see that. There’s no need to offer discounts to get their attention because you know that your work is sacred—and you’re confident in the value it brings.
When you operate in Lover Energy, the mindset is about working together in a meaningful way. You’re not chasing the sale. Instead, you’re inviting clients to join you in a partnership where both sides benefit. I go into this in depth inside: Unlock the Secrets of High Ticket Floral Sales
How to Shift Your Energy:
If you’re stuck in Prostitute Energy, shifting to Lover Energy is a process that begins with awareness. In my free masterclass, Illuminated Self, we dive into the illuminated and shadow sides of energy, focusing on how we can become the million-dollar version of ourselves. Recognizing when you’re slipping into Prostitute Energy is the first step. Once you can identify it, you can begin to shift toward Lover Energy by:
- Trusting in your value and not compromising on what you offer.
- Approaching sales with a sense of sacred exchange, not desperation.
- Valuing your work and presenting it with confidence, knowing you’re offering a solution, not just a service.
The Relationship Between Money and Energy:
One of the concepts I talk about in my 5K in 5 Days course is how your relationship with money mirrors your relationship with a significant other. Imagine treating your boyfriend the way you sometimes treat money—with neglect, doubt, or fear. If you can reframe your relationship with money as one that requires care, love, and respect, you’ll notice a significant shift in how you show up in your business.

Conclusion:
When approaching corporate clients like hotels, it’s crucial to recognize what energy you’re bringing into the conversation. Are you in Prostitute Energy, sacrificing your values out of fear, or are you standing firm in your Lover Energy, confident in the value you bring? Remember, growing a sustainable floral business is about more than just making a sale—it’s about doing it in a way that aligns with who you truly are and who you want to become.
