Are You Holding On To THESE Limiting Beliefs with Money?

On this episode with Brandi we are talking about the uncomfortable topic of money. When it comes to sales most women struggle to ask for what they want.

 James Wedmore is the GO TO expert on working with money and an abundance mindset. I highly recommend him!)

When It comes to money and asking for what we want, here is what I notice:

 

We have a lot of subconscious beliefs and thoughts around money and how we grew up with it formed our relationship with money and even how our parents felt about money often times passed down to us. 

Here are 3 questions and I want you to write down the first thing that came to your mind, no filtered thoughts! Free of judgement. Really spend time on these!

 

  1. You have to give a client the biggest refund to date. What is your first thought? How does this make you feel?
  2. A major medical expense jumps up in your family. What is your first thought? What is in your mind? How does this make you feel
  3. You earn an extra 25% of your income this month. What is on your mind, what does that feel like? What are you going to do with this money?

 

Now simply just sit with your answers. This is simply just an awareness tool to see where your relationship with money is at. 

 

Here is a list of limiting beliefs that I have heard around money.

 Some I don’t resonate with but that doesn’t mean you won’t! 

  • Money is the root of all evil
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF- Money is a tool for good people so they can do more good.
  • I don’t deserve to be rich or have money.
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF- What does it hurt to have more money to do more good in the world.
  • Rich people are so greedy or selfish.
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF- If you think someone is doing that and you could do it better then it is your birthright to have abundance so you can do better for the world.
  • I will never be able to make enough money. **This is caused by a victim attitude.
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF- I will be able to have an abundance of money when I decide to do the work to bring that.
  • Money is scarce and it is hard to come by.  You are going to block yourself from opportunities.
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF When I am open , money is easy to come by.
  • I can’t save money because I don’t earn enough.
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF When I start becoming a good steward of my money, I earn more money and it is easier to save.
  • Investing is risky and complicated, I don’t know anything about it so how could I start investing now?
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF I could learn anything I desire to learn, I just have to do the work to educate myself.
  • Money can’t buy happiness.
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF Money is a tool that can increase happiness.
  • Debt is a normal part of life .
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF Although I have debt, getting out of debt is a part of my life now and I will make it fun and easy. 

We have to go deeper into the subconscious brain and see what thoughts and beliefs have been running our lives and keeping us stuck.

 

  • I’ll start investing when________(ex when I earn more).
    • EMPOWERING BELIEF The earlier I start, my money can start working for me.

 

Overcoming limiting beliefs is going to take a lot of education and introspection.

 

There are 3 types of people when it comes to money: 

The Hoarder- they see money as safety and so they over save it

The Overspender - they get money and spend it immediately

The Abundant person- is open to using their money, they are responsible, invest and save their money and most importantly they give to others. 

 

Let us know which limiting beliefs resonate most for you. 

I would love it if you would leave a review & share this with someone who needs to hear it!!

 

Use this affirmation daily:

Every day in every way, as long as I choose to start, I am getting better and better with money
