In my last post, I shared a conversation I overheard that I’m sure you’ve either heard for yourself or even participated in yourself.  I’ve included it again to jog your memory and add some context.

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.”

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.”

With this exchange in mind, let’s look at some places you may be stopping the flow of money. See if you can spot yourself in any of these actions -

• Rejecting compliments – (“Oh, its old….or “I got it on SALE”)
• Not allowing others to buy meals, coffee, etc.
• Always having to out-give people
• Not spending money on what you love but scrimping all the time
• Giving your services away
• Under charging for what you are worth

The bottom line about all the above examples is that there is an issue with RECEIVING.

Money is something you receive, so please understand that you can’t say no to the friend who wants to treat you to Steak dinner, and then wonder why you aren’t attracting higher paying clients.

If you want to really open the flow in your life, first find all the areas where you are blocking it.

We all have scripts from our childhood or life experiences that determine how much we allow ourselves to receive.

Women are especially vulnerable to this, but men can also hide out in the ‘caretaker’ or superman mode and always being in the giver role.

I’d encourage you to write a list of all the places where you say no to things flowing in your life. Next, write a list of new beliefs you’d like to have in place. We have to start reprogramming your “money mind” so saying things like this can create a new experience for you:

• I am open to receiving even more wealth in my life now
• I am a good steward of my money
• Money flows easily to me now
• I use money for the highest good of myself and others
• I give myself permission to receive in bigger and bigger ways
• It’s easy for me to attract money

There’s a few to get you started. Now, the next time someone offers to buy you that double mocha latte at Starbucks, what are you gonna say? ?

If you want to do more in this area, a couple of great books I recommend are Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker and The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity by Edwene Gaines.

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.
