What’s your relationship with money?
Are you aware of what kind of money language you use? And how do you REALLY feel about sales? Does it intimidate you or does it excite you? What thoughts and emotions pop up within you when you think about that part of your business? Do you LOVE and enjoy it or do you dread and RESIST it? Think and reflect deeply about your answer as it will explain where your finances are.
Of course, there are lots of reasons why you might not be where you want to be financial with your business, lack of sales is definitely one of the more prevalent ones. Other reasons may be a lot of things such as lack of strategy, poor (or non existing) branding and marketing, wrong fit product, bad customer service, etc. However, strategy (or lack of it) is just part of your results
The REAL reason behind your money fear
YOUR ENERGY and how you show up is 80% (if not even more) of your success. When I work with my clients who want to start or uplevel their business, this is where we start. Fear of sales or lack of sales experience ALWAYS comes up. It’s also an explanation and the reason why they are not getting the results they most want. It lies within their minds, a hidden lack mentality, and big money mindset blocks.
Most people resist sales, dislike it, and feel they don’t want to be seen as pushy and greedy. And here lies another fear – the fear of what others will think and fear of being judged (not loved). It can sound like this: “I don’t like selling.”, “I don’t have sales experience.”, “I just want to help people.” What’s wrong with helping people AND making money while doing it? It’s not one thing or the other, in a balanced world giving and receiving come together.
The art of giving and receiving in balance
Everything in this world has a price, whether you buy socks, a computer or a trip to Africa. Why shouldn’t YOU charge for the goods, services, and VALUE you’re providing? This is why it’s massively important that you get crystal clear on what you bring to the table. You have a unique set of skills, experiences, and talents and you deserve to be well paid for your time and energy (without apology or justification).
If you’re undercharging (or not making offers at all) you need to seriously ask why. Undercharging is NOT LOVING, neither towards yourself, the people you’re here to serve, nor the world. It means that you’re battling and resisting the natural flow of life, which is the fact that we all live in an abundant universe. It’s more than enough to go around and you need to give yourself permission to charge well for my services and ALLOW yourself to be well paid.
Know who you are here to serve and why
What if you could work on building your business and do this humanely and authentically – without having to work 70 hours a week or drive yourself to constant burnout losing the joy of what you do. What if you could start making money without resistance but with love, joy, ease, fun, and pleasure? This is all possible for you when you shift your mindset and state of being from FEAR to LOVE, from you, and start making it all about them, the people you genuinely are here to serve.
Because this is it! Sales are all about people and connections, it’s about forming and building relationships. You can’t thrive in your business (and life) if you genuinely don’t care and love the people you are here to serve. AND feel massively proud of your brand, and the products and services and VALUE you are offering. Money mindset is basically how you see yourself and your relationship with money and the stories you tell yourself around it.
Make more money by doing what you love
The first thing to realize about your money mindset is that you can begin to change it as soon as you decide to do so. And money mindset block is only a thought and a thought can be changed. Identify your limiting beliefs and then flip them around, and commit to telling a new story. Do you think you have none? Trust me, WE ALL HAVE THEM and if you think you don’t, it just means you have not uncovered them yet – which is about to be changed if you are willing to let me help you.
What if I told you that making money can be fun and enjoyable? And what if you could combine your passion and purpose with your genuine willingness to HELP those you feel called to serve – and start making more money by doing what you love the most?
