Fear has a sneaky way of stopping you. Sometimes it’s obvious and looks like plain old fear. You know the kind… The pit in your stomach. The sweaty hands. The shaking voice.

But sometimes it shows up casually sabotaging your progress in subtle ways.

For me that often looked like that voice in my head… 

“This is too much to do now.” 
“I don’t have time.”
“I’ll be completely splayed out.”
“I just have to do this first.”
“I need to take care of my new client first.”
“I need to onboard my team members first.”

Basically, some version of “I can’t do this” cleverly wrapped up in a reasonable rationale.

Don’t these thoughts seem totally normal? Even reasonable?

But really? They are your subconscious program running the show and keeping you from doing the SCARY thing that you consciously want to do but unconsciously want to avoid. 

Yep, it’s an avoidance technique, plain and simple. And it happens at every level, though it may look slightly different once you get past the 7-figure mark.

It’s productive procrastination. (Side note: Have you listened to the podcast I did on productive procrastination? It’s a fan favorite, so many women nodding their heads to this!)

We’re all super good at it. Myself included.

But in order to get different results, like crossing the 7-figure mark… Or taking your revenue beyond that figure… Or getting your dream house within the year… Or going on a long vacation and leaving your business completely in the hands of your team…

You must move past this pattern that’s running the show and reprogram your subconscious.

Everything you want is on the other side of your automatic programmed responses. You’ve got to do life and do business differently. 

This is exactly what we teach in our Spirit of Wealth Mastermind and Masterclass. We go deep – especially at our in-person retreats.

Do you remember when you used to be scared of losing the sale? (Maybe you still are???) 

I do. But it didn’t really look like being scared, at least not on the outside.

On the outside I was confident. I was putting the reps in, having the conversations, showing up.

But on the inside, I was desperate. I really needed the money. Ever been there? That month when you’re really tight?

I remember those months, thinking… Am I going to make payroll? Were we going to be able to pay the Amex bill? What if I can’t pull it off?

It was a roller coaster. 

It’s kind of the “way of the entrepreneur”–risk taking, going all in, assured that you’re going to make it, but then getting way beyond your comfort level.

It throws you into desperation. 

Now, there’s a shadow side of desperation and, surprisingly, a positive side to desperation. Let me explain…

The shadow side is kind of obvious. When you don’t have enough money, you’re in scarcity, and if you’re not careful, your prospective client feels that energy. This just leads them to go running in the opposite direction and say no to buying from you.

They don’t know why but they just don’t want to buy from someone who’s desperate. Something’s off about you…

So then how could this possibly have a positive side?

Well, when you’re desperate, if you’re able to contain or eliminate your scarcity thinking, you will go harder than you’ve ever gone before. You’ll stretch yourself BEYOND your current capacity and grow to a totally different level.

This stretching, beyond what normally stops you, is definitely what I had to master when I was making my leap from low 6-figures to the 7-figure business.

But it’s not comfortable at all.

Yet, it’s the way the 7-figure entrepreneur thinks and acts, lives and breathes.

I knew I had it in me but I had to move past some significantly huge blocks to actually become that kind of entrepreneur.

This was much harder than just figuring out a marketing funnel or how to hire well, though those things are important. 

It was about completely rewiring my thinking and beliefs about who I was and what I was capable of doing. And this is true whether you’re going for 7-figures or multiple 7-figures.

Once I mastered this methodology for success, well, the sky was the limit both in my life and my business. Never looked back. :)

I’d love to teach you how to master this as well, because there’s a methodology to it that if you get… you can repeat over and over again until you get to break free from limits on the income and impact, and are able to live from your “sky’s the limit” place as well. (Read = no limits on the income, impact, or life you can create.)

Freedom is an inside job

Before I successfully built a 7-figure business, I wanted to be free from a LOT of things— financial constraints, toxic relationships, working long hours…the list went on! 

I was so stuck in the idea that these limitations were all external and this led to overwhelm, stress, and ultimately, burn out. I was constantly trying to “fix” all these external things. It was like a constant game of “whack-a-mole.”

So, this made me think “What does it take to actually achieve freedom?” 

Let’s start by defining freedom. Being free could look like choosing your own hours, making your own decisions about who you want to work with, or even buying anything you want without scrimping or a second thought.

It could mean being completely unrestricted when it comes to how you spend your free time or where you choose to live.

It could look like doing whatever you want with whomever you want in this one life of yours.

The limits you’re seeing and feeling may seem external but here’s the thing— freedom is an inside job. Most of the time, these constraints are the symptoms of not being free on the inside. 

To achieve freedom, you have to start owning your authority. Really embodying it as a lived experience. This requires a whole different set of beliefs than what most people were brought up with. You have to critically examine your core beliefs about yourself and how the world works. You have to get to the base of it… cut off your blocks to freedom at their root… and get to the cause of why you’re living from a place of limitation rather than freedom. 

Then, once you discover where the issues stem from, you have to actually implement change… and start taking action.

The good news is you don’t have to do all of this alone. 

This is exactly what we do at the Spirit of Wealth, a program where I help leaders, those high-performing women who absolutely know they were made for more, hit both their revenue goals and live a freaking beautiful life… one that is totally FREE!

Freedom is a HUGE aspect of The Unstoppable Woman movement, because far too many women don’t feel truly free in their lives and businesses.

Today I want you to think about what true freedom means to YOU.

Is it freedom of time… the ability to do what you want, when you want?

Is it financial freedom… always buying or investing in what you want and need, without having to worry about the cost and whether or not you can afford it?

Is it freedom of expression… not hiding and saying what you mean?

Is it freedom of creation…  creating what you envision in your life, relationships, health, and business, without feeling confined or restricted by someone or something else?

Is it freedom in your relationships… feeling loved and supported for who you truly are?

Is it freedom from your subconscious programming… no longer being run by outdated fears, double binds, and limiting beliefs that keep you from going for more?

What would it look like to be TRULY FREE in your life and business?

Take a moment to write that vision out in as much detail as possible. 

Go ahead, I’ll wait… ;-)

Once you have a vision of what it would look like, ask yourself this: how much money do you need in order for that to become possible?

Have you thought about it?

This is important because in order to be truly free, you must be financially free. When you think about it, everything in your life has a financial component.

When you’re financially free you’re not beholden to anyone when it comes to the choices you’re making on how you live your life… you’re not constrained in how you show up, what you say, what you do, who you think you need to be to make sure you’re financially secure in the world. 

If you’re not clear on how much you need to make… what a true income breakthrough looks like for you to experience true freedom in your life and business… you will struggle to create it.

You have to CLAIM that money goal first, then create a strategic plan to make it happen. The claiming comes first! Start with that.
