One of the basic principles I coach and mentor my women business owners BEFORE we even go into composing their BOLD compelling personal brand is “You must keep challenging and healing your relationship with money. Keep your vibration high around money by recalibrating your new normal. (Example: abundance vs. lack consciousness).”
Money needs to be paid attention to in a positive, affirmative way ALL the time; even in the face of adversity and uncertainty. Herein lies the biggest challenge for most women.
Many of us were never taught how to have a healthy, respectful, abundantly giving and receiving relationship with money. And in that “adopted” relationship was the old fairy tale that “men will take care of us.” (That’s another article!) Therefore, we grew up experiencing money as adversarial, riddled with guilt, shame, worry, doubt, confusion, not enough, and a finite mindset.
We carried this low contraction “energy” (feelings) around money into our adult life and wondered why no matter how hard we work – we still struggle with earning what we are worth. Please note: no fault of our own OR where we learned it. That was the legacy I referred to in the previous article about creating a New Money Legacy.
Once we breakthrough our money barriers (habits and beliefs) with the support of a mentor, the journey has just begun and does not end there. The good news is you then have the spiritual and tangible tools to apply to your daily life in keeping a high vibration around money (trust, faith, gratitude, appreciation, respect, abundance, etc.) EVEN in the face of adversity and uncertainty. We will always be faced with one or the either at times of running our businesses. It’s part of life. But the difference in how much you create in your revenues depends first on how you hold your relationship with money at any given moment. (Check in with yourself now).
Money is very spiritual. If you heard of or prescribe to quantum physics in that everything around us is energy; then money is no different! It’s a spiritual energy first before it shows up tangibly in your bank account, wallet or purse. What I mean is your thoughts and feelings around money affect your bottom line. So how do you begin recalibrating your new normal (higher vibration) if you are unclear or even skeptical?
Take these three steps and try them out and let me know:
-
Question the status quo. Have a truthful, soulful talk with yourself. Ask this…”Self, let’s rate our relationship with money based on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being in fear, worry, doubt most of the time to a 5 where we are in a respectful, abundant and receiving relationship." We can’t begin to change if we don’t know honestly where we currently are.
-
Start tracking your all your revenues daily on a sheet. PAY attention to the money coming in. Give it the attention it deserves. Know at all times what money is coming in.
- Start (or resume) tracking ALL expenses and create a system where your bill paying is in a neat, orderly folder. Give your money management system a respectful container. Set up a weekly basic budget that includes these 6 categories: Personal, Business, Mortgage or Rent, Savings, Taxes, and Extra (other expenses that don't fit into the basic categories). Track what goes out in each category so you are on top of where the money is going out.
Ladies, you can’t ignore a relationship and expect it to thrive and grow. (Favorite quote from my past mentor Kendall Summerhawk.)
