Have you wondered if you are doing something wrong in relation to money?
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe it’s your mindset or some unconscious blocks that are interfering with your ability to get (and keep) the money you desire?

Let me tell you a story……

I was out and overheard a conversation with two women I’ll call “Sally and Donna.”
Sally was trying to give Donna some money for something and had a $20 bill in her hand. The conversation went like this –

Sally: “Please let me give you some money.”
Donna: “No, I couldn’t possibly take that from you.”
Sally: “It’s really important that you let me pay you.”
Donna (who is now literally backing away) “No! I WON”T TAKE YOUR MONEY.”

As I’m overhearing this I noticed how freaked out Donna got, but it wasn’t until Sally said this very astute statement that I it really ‘clicked’ for me.”

Sally: “You don’t understand that by refusing to take this money, you are blocking my flow of good as well.” (Sally is pretty spiritually connected so get’s this concept)
Donna: “NO. Put your money back, I’m not taking it.”

In that moment I said to myself, “I bet I know where her financial picture is.” If you have ever heard T. Harv Eker who is one of the foremost teachers on the Millionaire Mindset, in that moment, he would have shouted – “YOU ARE BROKE” because of seeing Donna totally reject the money that was trying to come.

So why would I bring this concept up, my beloved entrepreneurs?

Because how you do anything is how you do everything!

If you desire to have more wealth or abundance in your life, you need to take a look at all the places you are pushing money away. You can’t have a lack consciousness and refuse money, kindness, compliments, etc. and then expect to have money show down on you. It doesn’t work that way! In my next post, we’ll take a look at some places you may be stopping the flow of money and ways you can bust through those barriers.

I’m still ‘high’ from doing a free “Bring Me Your Business Challenges” group coaching call where I had people just call in and get coached. We got to work with 5 business owners, and one of the themes that came from that call inspired these blog posts.

When I asked for volunteers, one woman shared that her coaching request was around getting help in how to visualize working with so many clients. When I pushed for more clarity around this, she really didn’t want to see a huge number of people a week in her service-based business, so it didn’t make sense. It wasn’t until the questioning process lead her to say this statement that it all clicked—

“I don’t want to become what I think it will take to get all those clients in the door.”

Eureka! For this person, her mindset block was that she believed that she needed to become a very driven type-A person in order to attract anyone, and the cost of doing that seemed way too great for her. She’s very sweet and grounded in her energy, so the thought of being anything else caused her to probably sabotage her progress in a very big way.

So how do you confuse your market and lose faith in yourself? By trying to be something you are not! But almost everyone makes this mistake at some time when they are building and marketing what they do.

On one hand it’s exquisitely simple, but on the other hand it’s a very complex idea.
After working with loads of people (and with my own business) I will show you three reasons why we try to be something we are not.  Check back for the next blog post to learn why this can plague entrepreneurs and what we can do about it.
