What is Your Enough Number

7-Figures Ain’t What It Used To Be| 40% of High Earners Face Low Profit and Fulfillment| We Breathe New Life into 7-Figure Businesses | Author of Profit Psychology| Burnout Recovery Expert| International Speaker| JW
I had a hard time with this concept when I first heard it.
I didn’t know how to calculate a number that would feel like enough in my business.
It was an internal issue. No amount of money will ever feel like "enough" if you don’t feel worthy without it.
Society often measures success by financial milestones.
We grow up believing that the more we earn, the more valuable we are.?
That’s why so many high-earning entrepreneurs and professionals still feel stressed, unfulfilled, and lost.?
Why? Because money isn’t the problem—our beliefs about it are.
The Danger of "Self-Worth = Net Worth" Mindset
Have you ever thought: “Once I hit six figures, I’ll finally feel successful”? Then you hit that milestone—and the goalpost moved.
Now I need seven figures. Now I need more investments. Now I need… something else.?
The validation we seek in external success is always fleeting.
If your sense of worth is tied to money, your self-esteem will rise and fall with your financial status.?
This means you’re never truly free, no matter how much you earn.
Real success comes from detaching your identity from your income and defining success on your own terms.
This Financial Self-Worth Cycle Is Easy To Miss
If your self-worth is tied to money, the pressure doesn’t just push you to earn more—it can also lead to spending in ways that reinforce the same cycle.
Ever made an impulsive purchase to feel better? Bought something luxurious just to prove to yourself (or others) that you’ve "made it"?
Spending as a way to validate success often leads to more stress—because the relief is temporary.
So how do you break free?
?? Pause before you purchase.
Next time you’re about to buy something, ask yourself: Am I getting this because I actually want it or need it, or because someone expects me to have this?
That split-second of honesty can reveal whether the purchase is about joy, necessity or just proving something.

?? Disrupt the cycle.
Pay attention to what actually makes you feel alive, at peace, or genuinely happy—then make room for more of it.
If deep conversations energize you, schedule more of them.
If slow mornings bring you joy, protect that time.
??Stop delaying what truly matters.?
??Make your work and giving more meaningful.
From Chasing Money to Making Aligned Decisions
When you admit to yourself that you’ve been chasing money and decide to stop, something powerful happens: you start making choices from alignment rather than fear of losing it.
Instead of saying “How much money will this make me?” you ask “Does this align with my values, my vision, my purpose?”
The most successful and fulfilled people aren’t those with the highest bank balances—they’re the ones who’ve broken free from the need to prove themselves.
They create profit not out of fear but from a place of abundance and confidence in who they are.

2 周My current inner dialog right now ?? Love this so much, Renèe! When I started coaching, I leaped into 6-figures quickly before my mind could register what was really happening and there was a lot of fear lurking in the dark crevices that I didn't realize would eventually impact me. In that rebuilding and redeveloping stage now. Love reading your posts! Thank you!
