Confidence is required to talk publicly about money, especially when you come from a place of abundance. Since there is so much scarcity thinking around money, buttons are highly likely to be pushed.
I don’t know what is the more sensitive subject matter, money, religion or politics. Have you ever wondered why people get upset about money when they spend a full one-third (at least) of their life pursuing it?
Also, while I often hear people make negative assumptions about people with money, people who they never met and do not know, while at the same time putting celebrities on a pedestal. If money is so bad, why do we chase after it and all too often feel inferior to those with it?
What an incongruent disconnect. Even those who profess that it is the root of all evil will not be found getting rid of theirs. No, quite the contrary. They can be very stingy, actually. This is why most people struggle with money all of their lives. On the one had they want it, and on the other they either feel it is bad, or they themselves are not worthy.
Money is neutral.
It is whatever we send it out into the world to accomplish. It can be used for good or destruction. And if you want to have business success, you had better get clear about the role you want to play with money.
If you make it a villain, it will not likely be a part of your life. If you think it is your source of security, you will probably never feel enough is enough. Security can only come from knowing the true source of life and living from an authentic place in your own soul.
Externals are forever changing. It will take courage to change your limiting money beliefs, because many of those around you are so out of touch with where they place their own self-worth and value around money, that if you start to expose their fears, they are not likely to be happy with you.
So, do you want to have a prosperous business? Or are you so stuck in your fears that you struggle with finding the confidence and courage to create a new reality around money? Before you spend several hundred dollars on the next marketing tool magic bullet, you may want to figure this out or will be virtually guaranteed to have less money in the bank with nothing to show for it.
It would be nice if just having information would solve our entire problem around business, relationships and health. Truth be told, the real issue is learning how to change the way that we automatically think, feel and act by realizing that there are lots of ways to switch the wiring within our own brain and mind so that we can consciously drop the limiting money beliefs and create a more prosperous business as well as an abundant, whole life!
Do you think that all of our money woes are the fault of the economy? Or could there be issues that we just don’t see? (As in blind spots?)
