Is Your Money Mindset Holding You Back from Business Growth?

Have you wondered if mindset issues are preventing the flow of money into your business? The fact is, almost everyone has limiting beliefs and mindset issues that hold them back from achieving what they want in life. And money issues are no different.
These blocks around money often stem from our early experiences and influences from key people in our lives. Add your own money personality to the mix and you have a collection of thoughts and beliefs that will either help or hinder your dreams.

You may see evidence of these mindset issues in missed opportunities or unfinished projects. The invitation to speak at an online event you turned down because you didn't feel ready. Or that e-book you wrote 6 months ago that you haven’t launched because you think your writing isn’t good enough, even though you could have hired an editor to help you with it. In fact, you might have already started on another project instead of launching the first, second, or third.

“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started.”— Attributed to David Allen

 

Mindset issues show up in the way you spend hours trying to make graphics using software you don’t understand, when you have no talent for it, instead of hiring someone to quickly make you an amazing graphic while you get other work done to successfully move your project forward.
Mindset issues are also evident because you refuse to buy that tool you need to make your business run more smoothly.

These thoughts and beliefs cause you to second guess yourself because you don’t trust or believe in yourself. You’re afraid you’ll make the wrong choices, so you don’t trust your instincts, and you don’t challenge your internal ideas.

If you’re slow to launch, afraid to outsource, or don't buy the tools you need to properly run your business, then you're probably suffering from some form of mindset issue. The leading culprit here is a money mindset issue. Money, whether we like it or not, has been given an enormous amount of power in our culture. It’s very emotional.

Those emotions can cause you to react illogically to criticism, not trust other people to do anything for you, and try to bury yourself in busy work that doesn’t matter so you can avoid what does matter - your launch, for example.

If you’ve changed your launch timeline several times, changed direction numerous times, found a more magical niche or any excuse not to launch or complete your project, you need to examine your thought process. Then, you can identify the money mindset blocks you’re dealing with so that you can improve the way you think and the actions you take.

Only by challenging your thought process, can you overcome these types of mental blocks about money. I’m sure you agree that your money mindset is important if you want to be successful, responsible, and happy at the same time. It’s all possible once you are open to the idea.
