I have a question for you. Are you holding yourself back from success?
I hear stories from so many women entrepreneurs about how they wish they could be doing better. They wish they had more clients, they wish they didn’t have to work so hard, they wish they made more money.
But I never hear them question WHY they aren’t getting these things. Instead, they’re just complaining that they don’t have what they want.
What I usually ask those women is this:
- Are you telling yourself you’re not good enough?
- Are you telling yourself you’re too expensive - that no one can afford you?
- Are you telling yourself that you’re broke?
- Are you telling yourself that you can’t afford something that will move you forward faster (such as a coach, a new website design, a mentor)?
Most of the women answer yes to all of those questions, and if you’re struggling to get clients & make money, I bet you answered yes as well.
Here’s the thing - when we tell ourselves that we’re not good enough, that we’re broke and can’t afford what we want, and that it’s too hard to make big money - what we’re actually doing is making those beliefs into our own truths.
When you say you can’t afford a coach, you’ll never be able to afford a coach. When you say no one will ever pay your rates, you’ll never get a client that pays your rates.
As the genius Mike Dooley says, our thoughts become things. What we believe to be true, will always be true.
So tell me - are you holding yourself back from success? How can you switch up the way you think to start making more traction in your life and in your business?
Instead of saying “I can’t afford a new web design”, you can ask yourself “What are some things I can do to get the money to pay for this new web design?”. (I can get a bank loan, I can sell some stuff I no longer use, I can borrow money from my parents.)
When you stop thinking in terms of lack (I DON’T have the money, I’m NOT going to get a client) and start thinking in terms of abundance (I’ll GET the money, I’m GOING TO close the sale and get that client), magical things will start happening.
I pinky promise.
It’s happened to me, and continues to happen to me all the time. I know you can have the same success, you just have to believe.
P.S. This mindset stuff is just one of the many topics I will be covering during my 12 week group program, Babes in Biz Bootcamp. If you’re ready to start getting more clients and making a shit ton more money with your business, this is the only program you need.
P.P.S. Class starts May 1st and I only have 50 spots available, so get in quick if you’re ready to make it BIG online.
I am a true believer in what you think you become. It is so important to believe in yourself, and work hard to get the business you want! A positive attitude especially being an entrepreneur is such a valuable and vital aspect to success! Great post 🙂
