Feel like you’re becoming a little too comfortable being poor? Tired of being successful at being poor rather than being straight up successful?
I know, that doesn’t make much sense does it? But guess what – it’s a symptom of Money Anxiety and people do it all the time. It’s a malady and a symptom that I see all the time working with entrepreneurs on their money anxiety.
How it works
Many entrepreneurs get all wrapped up in the nobility of being poor. They think it’s noble to believe that money isn’t everything. And this mindset can severely limit the flow of prosperity into your life when you’re trying to achieve real success. If you’re successfully making ends-meet (just barely) each month … you’re not successful. You’re just thrifty.
So my question to you is: are you done doing that? Are you done living like a martyr to a lifestyle that isn’t providing you with the kind of success you deserve to achieve?
Are you done not making money while trying to be successful and wondering why it’s not working?
Here’s what you have to do:
1. Acknowledge the fact that you actually do this and understand that it’s a symptom of Money Anxiety that you need to get a handle on right away.
2. Make a list of what you would like to do with your success.
3. Attach a dollar value to your success. How much does that success bring you in dollars?
4. Write out how you would spend that money with each different success that you have.
Here’s the thing that we’ve learned from working with hundreds of entrepreneurs- they want to make an impact. They are here to make a difference in the world. When we sit down and talk about what they’re going to do with their success, they’re tapped into a deeper vision that motivates them to achieve success even more!
Ready to get motivated? Ready to start making money? Are you ready to achieve real, tangible success? The first step is to address the fact that there’s no way you can be successful in the world that we live when you’re not making money. The second step is to focus on creating the revenue that your business needs in order for YOU to start making a bigger impact. Justify it by making that list of what you’re going to do with each and every single dollar that your success will create and map out how you plan to pay it forward.
I know the concept seems different. But this is how we start to address that sense of money anxiety.
Maybe this doesn’t sound like you at all. If it doesn’t – BRAVO! But as an entrepreneur, I’m sure that one of your peers can benefit from this message. So feel free to pass it along!
