Struggling with Money? Let’s Change That, Starting Now 💵

Money. It’s one of those topics that can feel like a heavy weight, right? The constant wondering: “Will this month’s income be enough?” “Am I charging too much... or too little?” The stress is real, but you know what? It's often not just about the numbers. Sometimes, it’s about the stories we’ve grown up hearing—the ones we don't even realize are stuck in our heads.

You know what I’m talking about: "Money doesn’t grow on trees." How many times did we hear that as kids? Or maybe it was, "People like us never get ahead." We took those phrases in like sponges, and now, they’ve become the background music to our worries about money. It’s time to hit pause on that old soundtrack and talk about these limiting beliefs.

The Financial Worry Trap (You’re Not Alone!)

If you've found yourself stressing over whether clients will pay or if your pricing is "right," you're definitely not alone. So many of us, especially solopreneurs and small business owners, have these deeply ingrained beliefs about money. It’s like we’re walking around with this invisible list of rules about what’s possible when it comes to our finances. And here's the thing—most of these “rules” aren't even true!

Common Limiting Beliefs We Picked Up Along the Way:

1. “Money is hard to come by.” Oh, this one. We've heard it, lived it, and maybe even repeated it. But does it really have to be this way? Or is it just something we've accepted because it’s all we’ve known?
2. “I don’t deserve to be financially successful.” This one's sneaky. You might be amazing at what you do, yet there's this quiet voice that says, "Who do you think you are, charging that much?" Maybe it stems from hearing things like, “People like us never get ahead,” making us feel like financial success is meant for someone else.
3. “If I charge too much, no one will hire me.” It’s that fear of scaring potential clients away. But what if the right clients value exactly what you bring to the table and see the investment in you as worth every penny?

Shifting the Beliefs (One Step at a Time)👣

These thoughts don’t go away overnight, but they can be shifted with a little attention and care. Here’s how you can start reworking those beliefs:

Steps to Change Your Money Mindset:

1. Catch Those Thoughts: The next time a worry about money pops into your head, notice it. Is it that old "money doesn’t grow on trees" thought sneaking back in? Recognizing it is the first step to letting it go.
2. Gratitude Shift: I know, I know—it sounds so simple, right? But it works. When you take a moment to look at what’s already working in your business, even small wins, you start to shift your focus from lack to abundance. Write down three things you’re grateful for each day to help break that scarcity mindset.
3. Speak Your Worth (Out Loud!): Try saying, "My skills and expertise are worth investing in," or "I’m offering something valuable that people are happy to pay for." It might feel a bit weird at first, but it’s a way of changing that old inner dialogue.
4. Find Your People: Share your worries with others who get it, like this newsletter community! Sometimes, just hearing, "I’ve been there too," can be the reminder you need that you’re not alone.
