What Do You Believe About Money?

What Do You Believe About Money?

You’ve no doubt heard the phrase, “You have to believe it, to achieve it.” And that mantra applies to all areas in life, including money! What you believe about money directly impacts your ability to generate your desired income.?

Do any of these statements sound familiar?

  • There is never enough to go around.
  • Clients will never pay my fees.
  • Real security is only money in the bank.
  • If I want more money, I’ll have to work so much harder it won’t be worth it.
  • Someday I’ll get lucky and have more money.?

So, where do our beliefs about money come from??

They start when we’re very young and we often adopt them from someone else or pick them up from past experiences. It’s like a silent or unconscious agreement that those beliefs are the only truth.??Those beliefs may have served us well at one point, but they may no longer.??At the very least, it is important to know how these beliefs are impacting us in our adult lives, professionally and personally.

The reality, if you’re not in control of money in your life, then money is controlling you!

One of my clients, a very creative and talented entrepreneur, felt powerless with money. She could barely discuss her fees and was almost apologetic about stating them. My client had to admit that she wasn’t living the life she truly desired and was no where near her earning potential.

Through our work together, she discovered some limiting beliefs that were adopted as a child, by watching her parents deal with money.??They were often stressed and said “money was the bad guy” and “there is never enough to go around.”??I’m sure her parents were doing the best they could with what they knew … But my client ended up never wanting to deal with money and didn’t stand in her power with her own clients.

With coaching, she transformed her relationship with money and adopted new beliefs that left her feeling empowered.??My client has been consistently earning more money, month after month.

POINT:??She didn’t realize that the beliefs she adopted as a child were carried into adulthood and created blocks that were holding her back.

?

“The reality, if you’re not in control of money in your life, then money is controlling you!”

?

Freeing yourself from past money beliefs should be a top priority if you want to achieve an income breakthrough.?

  1. First, it is important to know which beliefs may have been holding you back and need to be changed.
  2. Take an honest look at your beliefs around money.
  3. Write them down.?
  4. As you review the list, ask yourself …?

?

  • Is this belief mine or did I adopt it from someone else?
  • Will this belief help me move forward in my business or personal life?

The good news, you can create new beliefs at any point in time.??Flip the switch! Think about what you want in your life moving forward and what you need to believe to get there!

Here’s an example to get you started:

?

  1. Real security is only money in the bank.?

***Believe this and your options are limited.

  1. Real security is knowing how to make money whenever I need it.?

***Believe this and your options are unlimited.

It’s time to release those limiting beliefs that have been holding you back!

Wishing You Peace & Prosperity!
