Your money story is the one you often tell to others. It is made up of the issues going on in your current financial situation, the persistent worry that you are experiencing or/and the complaints you have about the economy, property prices, cost of living and so on. It is a story that occupies your mind throughout the day.

As I have found, money stories often act as a smoke screen to deeper underlying issues. At first, it is easy to be mistaken into believing that your financial challenges are caused by a string of bad luck, the fault of the tax authorities, the constant unfair treatment by your employers, the failure of receiving payment on time, or the banks who are out to get you. This being the case, you try to remedy your challenges with band-aide or by rearranging certain aspects of your life.

However, should you step aside for a bit, you may be able to observe money patterns that keep repeating. What you observe are likely to be debilitating cycles of frustration, worry, panic, resentment and anger over finances. Over and over again, you have not been able to truly break free.

Where there is a repeating pattern in your external issues, a root cause could exist internally. 

Feeling intrigued? Read on……

It is what lies below the surface of the iceberg (see above picture illustration) that influences your external actions, behaviour and attitude towards money. This is where the root cause of your money story can be found.

[Tweet theme=”basic-white”]”What’s going on in the inside shows on the outside.” Earl Nightingale[/Tweet]

Here are some of the money stories that various clients reported to having:

– Not able to thrive or make enough in new vocation;
– Inability to have money breakthroughs;
– Stuck at a certain level of income;
– Not able to attract paying clients;
– No pay raise for the last 3 years;
– Not able to revise prices up;
– Deals keep falling through;
– Inability to pay bills;
– Over-extended on credit card;
– Kicked out of dwelling due to inability to pay rent;
– Cannot seem find a job that pays well;
– Living from month to month, and so on.

The problem is that the more you tell a story of lack, the more contractive you feel. What’s important to realise is that if you are hoping to change your situation (things on the outside), you need to start by first changing the energy you have on the inside. Your outer story reflects the inner beliefs that you have about money. In order to dissipate the contractive energy that you feel and believe about money, you will need to uncover the root cause of your troubles.

[Tweet theme=”basic-white”]”The conflicts we have with the outside world are often conflicts we have within ourselves.” Bryant H. McGill[/Tweet]

How to Unravel the Mystery in the Root Cause 

The following are three steps:

(1) The first step involves awakening into awareness.

Many people do not realise that they have been directly a lot of negative emotional energy with their debilitating stories. Fear keeps them trapped. They are too preoccupied with worry to get clear in their thinking.

In order to break free, you will have shine light into the shadows.

From a non-attached conscious state, ask yourself: What is your true (inner) money story? What are the beliefs you have? Are these beliefs expansive or contractive?

In all likelihood, if you have made yourself out to be a victim and given the lack of money power over your happiness, your beliefs are limiting ones.

(2) The second step involves recalling your childhood stories, so that you can uncover the beliefs that you have formed.

What kind of role models did you grow up with?

Did your parents teach you how to master financial education?

What were some of the beliefs they brought you up with? How did your parents reward you for good behaviour or exam grades in school?

(3) The third step involves uncovering your birth story.

How was your birth like? Did your mother experience a “difficult labor” from giving birth to you? Is that why you view life as a struggle and being difficult?

Did you suffer any trauma when you were born?

Did your parents welcome you with open arms or did they withhold love from you because you are considered a burden?

Solve the Root Cause to Your Money Story

Could it be that behind your money story lies core unresolved issues?

Hidden in the labyrinth are your shadows: birth trauma, childhood memories and collective unconscious patterns.

Within the folds could lie your deepest fear, shame, anger, resentment and grief.

But yes, as I have discovered and many others too, it is possible to dive through the layers and to unravel some of the mystery.

During the internal process, you will realize that your relationship with money is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself and with all others.

{If you have a poor relationship with the self, you are likely to have a poor relationship with money. Likewise, if you have low self-love issues, you are likely to have a poor relationship with money.}

You clear the mystery through deep root healing of your wounded inner child and the energetic release of trauma from past events that have been keeping you stuck.

What is wonderful is that the more you align with the truth of your being, the greater your ability to attract the financial wealth that you deserve. Through financial alchemy, you transmute into the gold of your true being. Ultimately, you radiate in brilliance from the core of your soul.

Love and abundance always,

Share Your Thoughts

Share your thoughts about finding the root cause to your money story in the comments below.

Do you go over “poor me”, “poor me” and “poor me” in your mind?

You could also be repeating the same thing to the people that you meet too.

“Poor me” is akin to having a victim mentality. You are in self-pity. A “poor me” syndrome arises especially when you are constantly pointing blame outwards. It could be the fault of your grandmother, father, the government, the economy and so on. It is always the fault of someone or something else except yours.

[Side-note] This post is updated as the content is still relevant today.

“Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.” John W. Gardner

When you think “poor me”, you find yourself realising situations of poor and poverty at the physical level. Thoughts become things, after all. And you know how it is like when you have a sequence of thoughts that are negative. You start to spiral downwards. Over time, you feel more and more miserable and poor and poorer. Invariably, your situation gets worse and worse.

You may not recognise yourself as having a “poor me” syndrome at first. It could be subtle behind your complaints that “life is hard” or that “life is unfair”. But “poor me” could be the unsaid thought that lies beneath the blame that you feel for the outside world. It happens when you pine for sympathy for your situation.

Playing Out the Poor Me Syndrome – Different Scenarios

Unfortunately, there are many women who fall into the category of “poor me”. They crave for a sense of belonging in sisterhoods. Their idea is to come together to complain and compare who has the worst stories. They are great hosts of pity parties that are long-drawn.

Maybe you are thinking if you whine “poor me”, none of your friends will borrow money from you. You don’t want others to know that you actually have excess money in the bank or that you have just gotten promoted with a nice pay rise. However, holding on to such thoughts is not promoting a sense of growth.

When you blame others, you are saying that you are not responsible. You are not taking charge. In other words, you are giving your power away.

You could be feeling justified anger because it is the government, the tax department or the economy that you are blaming – factors that are outside your control. Then again, should you lay blame on any of these authorities, you are basically allowing an external party or force to determine your happiness or level of wealth. It is still giving power away.

Get Over Your “Poor Me” Mentality

The only “thing” that you can control or change is you and your perspective. You always have a choice in how you intend to view your situation.

Blame obstructs the flow of abundance into your life. It does not serve you in any way. Wallowing in self-pity is not attractive in the least. If you have been around people who are blaming others all the time, you will know how toxic blame can be. You don’t win by playing victim, you win only when you take charge of your power to create and to manifest the life that you want.

Prosperity is a state of mind. Instead of “poor me”, think “rich me”. Focus on the blessings in your life and by virtue of the law of attraction, you will start to draw more blessings into your life.

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.” Brian Tracy

Any comments on the “poor me syndrome”? If so, share below.

• budgeting for a trip, 
• creating a spreadsheet to monitor expenses, 
• discussing with your partner on financial options, 
• reviewing your earnings, 
• finding better ways to minimise tax, 
• paying down your loans,
• moving of investment funds between accounts, 
• getting updated advice from your financial planner,
• create a financial plan to help you manifest the lifestyle that you want etc. 

By scheduling money dates on a regular basis, you are better able to identify gaps, opportunities and ideas instead of making any personal financial activity as a once-a-year event.

Most entrepreneurs are focused on business planning at the start of a new year. Strategising typically involves looking at the calendar and setting some dates for product launches or workshops. Those who are conscious about work/life balance may also schedule self-care activities. Other than these mentioned, I find it important to schedule money dates on a regular basis. In fact, not just entrepreneurs, I would recommend setting money dates for anyone. 

4 Broad Areas to Look Into for Healthy Money Dates

I am not a financial expert but the following areas are ones that I would recommend to get started… 

1. Debt. Repay loans if it no longer make sense to hold on to debt. Make a comparison between the interest rates that you are paying and the rates of return that you can potentially earn. Restructure where necessary. 

2. Income. Align with your overall vision on the life and business that you would love to create. Identify multiple sources of income. 

2. Savings. Work on a savings plan for big purchases. Cut down expenses or unnecessary fat to build savings. Make a budget. 

3. Investment. Review and rework investment plan if necessary. Take some calculated risks and consider creating a diversified portfolio that will help you to make money on money. 

Cycle through the 4 broad themes on a monthly or quarterly basis during the year. From the broad themes, identify the specific tasks to be done on a weekly basis. Follow through on these tasks. Or hire a coach like myself to keep you accountable 🙂 

But….what if getting on a money date feels hard for you? 

What if anything remotely related to personal finance gets your stomach churning in discomfort? 

Or your face turning green? 

Most people can’t get going on money dates if their emotions are in the way. 

Any thought, idea or action that involves personal money brings up feelings of shame, guilt, blame, anger, sadness and so on. 

Hence, the tendency is to avoid, procrastinate, pretend, hide and so on.

Well, recognise that any of these defensive behaviour are only meant to “protect” you but do not truly serve you. 

If this is the case for you, I urge you to work on healing your relationship with money.

Healing Your Relationship with Money for Healthy Money Dates

Healthy money dates necessarily includes investing time and attention on healing and mindset work too. Not just external tasks, you are also working on yourself internally; where you are letting go of emotional money wounds or limiting money beliefs. Thus, healthy money dates support your overall emotional, mental and financial well-being.

In summary, healthy money dates are comprised of both external (financial) tasks and/or inner work activities: 

• external (debt, income, savings and investment),
• internal (healing emotional wounds, reframing money beliefs, and rewriting money stories). 

I recommend not procrastinating any longer on improving your relationship with money. There are opportunity costs due to the time value of money. Every day you are able to add a $1 more to savings is going to add to the value of your funds in the long run.  Against the backdrop of rising interest rates, getting into financial shape has never been more imperative! 

Letting go of any disruptive feelings or limiting money stories potentially leads to better clarity and a better way forward.  Indeed, healing your relationship with money gives you the leverage that you need to strengthen your financial position. Follow through on the healthy money dates in your calendar and one year from now, you will be thankful that you started today.

Would you like to be inspired by money healing stories?

Well, I’d like to share some that belonged to my clients. I have had the privilege of helping them attain a mindset breakthrough that resulted in a change in their finances. For a long time, they were struggling with limiting beliefs that blocked the flow of money and their ability to generate better income. Most carried emotional money wounds that stemmed from the past. 

Their money healing stories are transformative. They had to confront their fears and release their attachment to beliefs formed since young. I’m thankful to my clients for giving me a firsthand chance to learn about how it is possible to rewrite our stories for healing and greater empowerment. To protect their privacy, I have used pen names for them. 

Belinda’s mum would constantly criticise her when she was young. Even though Belinda was born into a well-to-do family, her mum would make it seem that she did not deserve any of it. Her mum forbade her from playing from her friends and piled her with tasks and helping out in the family business. As a result, she spent all her time studying and working.

Today, as an adult, Belinda has been struggling with believing that she is deserving of love and money and also, worthy of receiving. None of her money-making ideas has taken off. She often felt guilty if she did not help out in her family business and would prioritise the needs of others before hers. 

Belinda worked on healing some of her money wounds, and changing her beliefs to affirming that she is deserving. Her confidence improved tremendously, as a result. She has also given herself the permission to feel safe about taking a break and changing how she views work. Belinda has also learnt to prioritise self-love and care. 

Money Healing: Stop the Financial Bleeding

1. Healing needs to involve the emotional layer.

2. Healing of money wounds is best resolved at root cause.

Let me explain more.

1. Healing Emotionally

The money behaviour or situation that you are in is influenced by what’s going on internally – your thoughts and feelings.

For some people, any talk about money tends to conjure plenty of negative feelings.

Feelings such as worry, frustration, sadness, anger and so on.

However, when emotions run high, they create a block or disrupt our energy system.

Our clarity and ability to process thoughts get reduced and we also find ourselves less able to take the necessary action that will help us improve our financial position.

Unfortunately, a block in our ability to manifest financial abundance can also impact our business or to get a job with a pay that we deserve.

2. Money Wounds That Stem from the Past

The money story that influences your situation today could be one that is influenced by the past.

Ask yourself…

What was the family’s financial situation like when you were a child?

What money beliefs were you brought up on?

How did your money wounds come about?

Things started to change for my clients when they worked on finding out the root cause of their stress. They found out that much of their stories stemmed from blocks created by money issues in the past. It could be that they had internalised messages such as they are “not good enough” to have money or “not worthy” to be receiving when they were young. These messages could have come from their parents or caregivers.

Emotionally, my clients felt hurt, abandoned, rejected, ashamed and so on. They formed limiting beliefs about themselves and their ability to become financially competent. These created blocks that brought about negative consequences for them in their adult life. They found themselves struggling a lot more than they deserve! 

Heal Your Emotional Money Story at Root Cause

You may have attempted to manifest money by repeating positive affirmations. Well, in my experience, this did not quite work. Even after trying to will myself to think positively and repeating affirmations like a mantra, I just could not rid myself of the niggling feeling that I didn’t quite believe what I was saying.

For my clients, we worked on healing their emotional money wounds in order to create a shift from the inside-out. We also worked on changing the money beliefs that they hold at the subconscious. They are led to a place of worthiness. It’s how I was able to discover that: the heart of manifesting abundance starts with self-love.

Ultimately, my clients were able to improve their relationship with money, gain confidence and feel a lot more empowered around their finances. Here are more updated client stories that you can read on…

2. How Kay Cleared Her Money Blocks by Releasing her Childhood Pain

3. How Nellie Released Limiting Money Blocks to Client Attraction

Share Your Emotional Money Story

What are some of the emotions that surround your money story? Is it worry, struggle, anger, frustration…..or is it love, peace, harmony, etc? Please share in the comments below.

Let me know how the tapping session went for you.

Love and Abundance Always,
Evelyn Lim 
Certified EFT & Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner

P.S. Join My Group Tapping Circle here if you’d like to work on your specific issues. 

For a start, it may seem impossible to will away the perception of scarcity. After all, limits are very much a natural part of our physical life. Just think about it, there is 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in one minute. You have got to finish the work that needs to be done within a certain time frame.

Then, there is also ageing and the cycle of life and death. The physical world has some kind of built-in mechanism where conditions and limits are already preset.

It was also where my confusion came in as well.

For a long time, I had trouble reconciling the ideas of abundance and scarcity. There is the experience of scarcity at physical life because we cannot escape time-space constraints and yet, metaphysical teachers say that the Universe is one of abundance and that we are infinite. So it feels as if both these ideas are on polar ends.

My mind just could not fully grasp or make sense of having scarcity and abundance co-exist together. Hence, no matter how hard I tried to “will” myself to believe that the Universe is abundant, I had the niggling doubt that it could be absolutely true because my experience of the physical world had been otherwise. I was experiencing contrast. 

Is the same conflict bothering you too? Well, when there is non-congruency, it is hard to embody the energy of abundance. Thus, with experiencing scarcity in the physical world, you hit a block each time the mind goes up against a limit. Invariably, you would tell yourself, “there is not enough”. Going up against a limit can set off panic buttons or alarm bells.

To beat money scarcity, you may have even chase after ways to plug the hole. You find yourself working a lot harder and longer, which if you are to reflect, rarely fixes the problem of scarcity or limit that exists in the mind.

What Money Scarcity is NOT Teaching You

Money is being printed based on monetary policies by the central bank or government, so technically there is lots of cash in the financial system. Hence a situation of financial lack is only true according to your own physical experience of money.

A situation of money scarcity is not teaching you to dwell in misery. It is certainly not asking you to keep awake at night. Or to blame your spouse, the government or tax authorities either.

Let’s acknowledge that there can be limits in the physical world where certain resources are limited and hence, you experience scarcity. On the other hand, it helps to remember that scarcity and limits can also be a construct of the ego. When you identify too much with limiting thoughts, you can hold yourself back from achieving what you do want. 

If you can recall, your soul did choose to experience scarcity in an incarnation, so that it can embody the truth of its divine nature. Contrast allows for experiential knowing. Your soul can only know abundance through having a contrasting situation in a physical life. It’s like you will not know what cold is without the contrasting experience of heat. Or it’s hard to figure out what love is without going through fear in an experience.

An experience of financial lack is something that you can choose to reverse. As much as we can undertake measures or strategies to “make more money”, it also involves an inside-out approach where you first reawaken to the truth. By reminding yourself the truth of your being and reconnecting with  sense of worthiness , you can then make the inner shift that often translates to manifesting the truth on the outside: that abundance (including money) is actually available to you!

What Money Scarcity is Teaching You Instead

Remember this: limits are not dead ends.

What scarcity is truly teaching you is about appreciating what is important:

* Are you appreciating life?

* Are you making the best use of a limited life span?

* Are you making the best use of limited resources?

* Are you embracing what appears to be finite: time, money and the life energy of your family and friends?

In short, scarcity is teaching you to redirect your focus.

When you start to put your attention on the things that matter, illusion dissolves. There is no need to grasp, cling or hanker for something out there because there is already the richness of life! Indeed, this is where you practice gratitude! 

Material things do not last. Money doesn’t. You become awakened to the truth that you are a divine soul. In that moment of deep realisation, your soul recognises abundance as a quintessential quality of its eternal being. It is when you embody the inner experience of the awakening that true abundance manifests in the physical world.

P.S. Have got money blocks that you’d like to address? 

As you begin, here are 3 important reminders:

1. You already have an existing relationship with money, whether you have been previously aware of it or not.

2. You can’t exactly “divorce” money. You need to accept money, being a medium of exchange, as part of your life.

3. You will have to make it work somehow.

Improve Your Relationship with Money: The Dating Phase

Remember how exciting it can be when you are in the dating phase of a relationship?

Well, this is the phase when you are eager to find out more about the other party. You hope to get to know what your partner is like? What are his/her interests? How do you attract him/her into your life?

So, begin to date money. Go on long walks. It is when you start to ask fundamental questions:- Who or what is this money energy?- What is the cause of your sleepless nights?- Who is this that leaves you hankering for more when its absence is felt?- Why do you need money?

In other words, dedicate this phase to learning about what money is, how the Universe works and the Law of Attraction.

Improve Your Relationship with Money: The Doubt Phase

Somewhere along the way, doubts start to creep in.

From previous experiences, you begin to doubt if committing to more dates is ever going to work. You have not had a successful relationship with it before. Think about all the disappointments! How is it going to be different this time?

The opposite of doubt is trust. Trust means that you give yourself the permission to pursue an understanding of money. You trust that an understanding of money does not necessarily lead to an obsession of it. You can choose to take charge! It’s what you want. You want to improve your relationship with money. And so, you are willing to give a healthy and balanced attention to money, including your attitude towards it.

Improve Your Relationship with Money: The Struggle Phase

Both the doubt and struggle phases usually occur quickly after the blissful courtship period. The honeymoon period is clearly over! You are questioning more. This is when you start to confront each other about your differences.

Ironing out conflicts is key during this period.

What are your beliefs that are not congruent if you are hoping to attract money?What is the money story that you are telling?Is fear ruining your relationship?

This is the phase that calls for letting go of your fears and bringing more unconditional love in! If you have been mistaken before, you get to work on resolving conflicts. You clear your negative emotions and remove your limiting beliefs around it. You come to terms with it. You shift into better-feeling thoughts.

“Love is a verb. It’s an action requiring your involvement and your active participation. You cannot sit back and expect the world will serve it to you. You cannot expect that your relationship will continue to provide love while you’re not putting in any effort. Love has to be earned and must be continually fought for.” Stephen Covey

Improve Your Relationship with Money: The Commitment & Intimacy Phase

What is it like to be in a committed relationship?

This phase may appear to be boring. It is when things get repetitious and practical. It is when you dive into details.

The commitment phase includes learning how to manage money. It involves matters such as savings, investing, budgeting and so on. It means having to study and finding better ways to grow your wealth. You may also be consulting expert advice.

This phase is not necessarily dull when you start to reap rewards. You are developing true intimacy. You are learning how to manage your emotional reactions to money. With improved communication, you now speak the language of money. There is ease and confidence in the relationship. It is how you are able to raise the vibration of your relationship with money. It is bringing you plenty of wedded bliss! You are attracting more and more money energy love!!

Make Money A Loving Friend

True love is about growing as a couple, learning about each other and never giving up on each other.

It’s the same when it comes to working on  improving your relationship with money. Develop greater understanding as you go through the different phases from dating to developing intimacy. As it is often said, Energy flows where focused attention goes. When you give a balanced attention to money, it naturally flows into your life.

It is up to you to create the relationship that you want. Be a great friend or partner and stand to profit from the healthy partnership you have with money! If you want to attract more money, improving your relationship with money is clearly a must.For next steps, get my starter course to work on improving your relationship with money!

Abundance Life Coach for Women

Evelyn had helped me through the toughest period of Circuit Breaker in 2020.

At the height of my stress, I was needing to deal with matters regarding my divorce and also in issues on coping with the lockdown restrictions.

For 10+ years and before working with Evelyn, I was emotionally unstable. I had found it hard to cope with depression, fear and anxiety. In the past, I had sought help from doctors.

However, when the pandemic happened, I knew that I had to seek assistance once again. My counsellor recommended that I try a different approach. She referred me to Evelyn.

When we started working together, Evelyn was able to help me reduce my initial anxiety enough, so that I can safely address my deeper issues. It wasn’t easy at first, but we worked on alleviating my fears gradually. Eventually, I was able to find out that a big cause of my anxiety came from childhood fear. I found out that they were due to the frequent major quarrels at home between my parents when I was young.

Evelyn helped me to release my deep anxiety. Through our sessions, I was able to learn and apply better fear management techniques such as EFT, practise more gratitude and most importantly, understand my situation.

These days, I am better able to manage my life. My anxiety levels are greatly reduced. I feel more positive about life and have an increased ability to cope. Things are improving.

I feel better in managing my emotions and anxiety to have worked with Evelyn. She is patient and experienced to assist me with my issues. I recommend checking out her services.

My Gratitude

It’s been my privilege to work with Charmain! She is such a lovely person to work with.

We connected over Zoom weekly for our sessions during the lockdown period at its height. It’s great that she is in a much better space to handle and cope with stress.

What are the signs?

To begin with, why is even important to identify whether you have mindset blocks or not?

Well, for a start,  mindset blocks can keep you stuck or struggling more than you need to. It obstructs your success. A mindset block arises when you have the story of “I want to achieve this goal or dream but (the reason)”. You may even have more than one “but” on why you can’t achieve what you want.

Invariably, the reason behind the “but” stems from a limiting belief. Your “but this” or “but that” are actually excuses. Excuses are a form of self-sabotage. 

Conversely, if there is nothing in the way, you would be getting a lot more success. There are no “buts” to achieving what you want. You are clear, focused and decisive. 

Time is a precious resource and you want to achieve success sooner than later. And if you are someone in business, having mindset challenges can impact your ability to generate income easily.

Clearly, it doesn’t help to be in denial or to avoid the topic of mindset block altogether.

If you want to improve cash flow,
if you want to generate better success,
if you want to shift to the next level,

learn to recognise the signs.

5 signs that you could be having a mindset block

Listen in to this video about what the signs of having mindset blocks are. Or read on…..

1. You are stuck.

You keep going round and round in circles. Feeling stuck. Distracted with what other coaches or what other people are doing. It is possible that you’ve already attended courses and training classes for your business, but you are still not able to put out your offers.

You have plenty of reasons why you can’t get going. Not able to start a business. Not able to launch. Not able to do what’s needed. So this is not a problem of strategy or know-how but a pure mindset issue.

2. Not enough Cash Flow.

Cash flow is an important indicator that you cannot ignore.

You may have been on this business for some months or years, but are you generating enough cash flow to cover minimally your expenses?

If you are not generating enough, it can be either a mindset issue or strategy issue or both. Chances are, it is a combination.

3. You don’t like being visible.

The thought of being visible may make you feel ill, exposed, or naked. You have this fear about the loss in privacy where you simply do not like the idea of people checking up on you online.  Or you may fear that you’d be criticised or attacked for the messages that you share.

As you are offering a service, it helps for your audience to know who you are. You do it best by showing up on video. Hence, it is imperative that you work through your discomfort. Release your mindset issues around visibility with EFT tapping. 

Your business depends on you showing up. Showing up on video also takes practice. Practice in front of the mirror. Work on your script or what you want to say. Once you’ve released your emotional and mindset blocks, you’d be more ready to practice and to post your videos.

4. You can’t ask for the money

You find it difficult to ask for the money and you have tremendous anxiety on talking about your prices. When it comes to doing discovery or sales calls, you may feel guilty, shameful, embarrassed, not good enough, and so on. All these disruptions are indications that you are having mindset problems.

You need to work through this. If you don’t ask for the money or you have tremendous fears around this, you won’t be able to generate the income that you want.

5. You are Unable to Shift to the Next Level

You have gotten your initial success and at first,, you were feeling elated. But somehow, after the first breakthrough, you’ve been stuck. And you can’t seem to shatter the next ceiling that has come up.

It could be that you are stuck at a certain income range. Or that you are getting into overwhelm. Or that you have fears around setting higher expectations. Not being able to shift to your next level could potentially be a mindset issue.

Release Mindset Blocks That Are in the Way of Your Success 

Addressing mindset blocks is non-negotiable if you want to be successful. What’s great is that when you transform from the inside, there is a ripple effect that potentially affect all areas of your life. You grow in confidence, self-esteem and wellness. This has a positive impact on your business.

So, begin by staying alert to whether or not you are having signs of mindset blocks. Set yourself up for true success with awareness and action!
