Ten years ago, I made a bold decision that altered the course of my life forever.
I took a leap of faith and invested $5,000 in my first online business coach. That is a TON of money, especially at 24 years old, but really for anyone at any stage of life or business.
It was the scariest financial commitment I had ever made. At the time, I was a personal trainer operating out of my parents’ garage, driven by a burning desire for something more than the daily grind. I knew deep down that my current path wouldn’t lead me to the freedom and success I craved.
However, I faced a major obstacle: my relationship with money was clouded by deep-seated fears and limiting beliefs. I was constantly worried about running out of money, and my financial decisions were driven by this fear rather than by confidence and clarity.
But that investment in my business coach marked a turning point. It forced me to confront and dismantle those limiting beliefs about money. Today, I’m here to share with you how I transformed my mindset and my life. Join me as I reveal the three powerful strategies I used to break free from scarcity thinking and pave the way to financial abundance and personal fulfillment.
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt held back by their own beliefs about money and is ready to rewrite their financial story!
Mindset #1: Recognizing the Flow of Money
First and foremost, I came to understand a fundamental truth about wealth: money isn’t meant to sit stagnant. It’s like a river—it needs to flow. You can’t simply accumulate wealth by hoarding it in a savings account. Instead, I learned to invest strategically.
Whether it’s real estate, stocks, or education, I started treating my money as a resource to be actively circulated and leveraged. This shift from viewing money as a reservoir to embracing it as a flowing river was pivotal in my financial growth.
Mindset #2: The Lemon Squeeze Theory
I developed what I affectionately call my “lemon squeeze theory.” Whenever I invest in a coach or a program, I commit to extracting maximum value. Imagine squeezing every last drop out of a lemon—every bit of knowledge, every insight, every strategy.
This mindset drove me to be proactive: the first to ask questions, the first to engage in discussions, and the first to implement what I learned.
By fully immersing myself in learning and application, I ensured that my investment wasn’t just an expense but a catalyst for tangible returns. This approach has been instrumental in accelerating my personal and professional development.
Mindset #3: Reflecting Money’s Reflection
Lastly, I came to a profound realization about the relationship between money and mindset. Money mirrors our attitudes and behaviors towards it.
For instance, if your clients often say, “I can’t afford that,” it’s crucial to reflect on where you might be echoing similar sentiments in your own financial decisions. This insight helped me understand that money responds to how we treat it.
It is crucial to foster a positive and respectful relationship with money—embracing abundance rather than scarcity—which allows us to begin to attract opportunities and financial outcomes aligned with the hard work you’re putting in.
