Have you ever found yourself muttering, "broke ain't no joke" while clutching those ramen noodles? Trust me, I've been there, done that, and even snagged the T-shirt. But here's a nugget of truth: our mindset about money might be the very thing that's holding our business mojo back.
In our latest episode of Business Mojo and Margaritas, we dive deep into the idea that a broke mindset isn't just a minor inconvenience—it's an anchor. Think about it. If you're always expecting financial struggle, you're basically sending an RSVP to the universe for more of the same. Adios, abundance!
So, here are some juicy takeaways from this conversation:
1. Recognize The Pattern: Take a good, hard look at your relationship with money. Does everything start going well, and then out of nowhere, bam—you're back to zero? That might not be just bad luck. It could be that old, familiar broke mindset sneaking its way back in. Give it a name, call it out, and recognize when it's happening.
2. Embrace Change: Change is a bumpy road, even when it's positive. Ever read "Who Moved My Cheese"? It's all about navigating new terrain and dealing with the emotional roller coaster that comes with it. Realize that a better financial situation is still a form of change and it will challenge you in unexpected ways.
3. Visualize Abundance: If waking up to thousands in your PayPal account makes you break into a cold sweat, it's time for some deep, mental rewiring. Picture yourself thriving. Imagine being the one who picks up the tab without batting an eye. Visualization is like a rehearsal for reality—practice makes perfect.
4. Family and Friends Feedback: Oh, the lovely unsolicited advice from family! Does Aunt Marge always have something to say about how much you make? While her opinion might sting, remember that you don't need validation from anyone but yourself. You’re the only one living your financial truth.
5. Community Support: Share your experiences and get support. Nothing beats a community that understands the hustles and the struggles. Join our Facebook group for female entrepreneurs and share your story, your hurdles, and your wins. We’re all in this together, cheering each other on.
Alright, it's time to look that broke mindset in the mirror and say, "No more!" By recognizing the problem, getting comfy with change, and surrounding ourselves with a supportive tribe, we can start to rewrite our money story.
