Why your Money Habit Archetype is KEY to changing your money story

If you’ve ever felt frustrated about the things that you do when it comes to you and money, then stick around, because we are going to talk about why your Money Habit Archetype is the key to changing your old money story!

So, in the Magnetic Money program, we spend quite a bit of time delving into understanding what your money habit archetype is, and then using it to transform that old money story and creating a beautiful new story that can then become your new reality.

Let’s talk about that just a little bit here so that I can give you some insight into what you can do to start to create those sorts of shifts for yourself as well.

Now, what is your money story?

Your money story is that old unconscious pattern of thought, that old “story” that is running in your unconscious mind. 

It is the story that informs what you really believe to be true about money at a deep unconscious level. 

Remember that 98% of what’s going on at that level, you’re not even aware of – it’s unconscious, right? So you’re busy doing all the things, working on your business, trying to shift your mindset, etc..  but meanwhile 98% of what’s truly going on in the background that’s actually running the show, you’re not even aware of. 

That’s a really hard battle to fight, so let’s talk about what we can do about it.

But first, I want you to understand a little bit more about that money story and why it’s so powerful and why it has this hold over you and has you unconsciously running patterns that you’d rather not keep recreating.

“Stories” are really, really powerful. Stories are the way that mankind has passed on information since the dawn of the ages. Sitting around the campfire, telling stories, that’s how information would get relayed. Stories are extremely hypnotic. They’re a great way to let things sink deep into the unconscious and really take root.

So, when you’re really young and your unconscious mind is wide open – before the age of 7 – you don’t have any filters in place to go, “No, I choose not to take that on. That’s not really true. That’s YOUR issue, not mine.” You don’t have any of that so at that young age, when you hear the stories from your parents, your peers, your teachers, and society in general, you take it on, your unconscious is wide open and you’re being programmed.

That is the script that keeps running in the background.

Now because your mind, and your unconscious mind in particular, is a very efficient organism that is always striving towards coherence, it means that you must then experience a reality that matches your “story,” your version of what you perceive to be true in the world. That is why you’ll do stupid things where you’ll go, “Why am I sabotaging myself? Why do I keep leaving things to the last minute? Why am I not returning phone calls or chasing up leads? Why do I do these things and why do these things keep happening to me?” You’re doing it without really being aware, because everything on the outside of you must match your underlying unconscious story so that it’s all coherent and congruent.

It’s really interesting because there was a study done at MIT not very long ago which kind of concluded that the version of reality you experience is a little bit of an edit of the last 15 minutes of your life – because of this need to constantly have stability. That explains why different people experience the same event, but have really different stories about it. They’ll tell the story of what happened really differently based on the perceptions that they bring into that event, which is informed by what’s going on unconsciously, what they believe to be true about life.

These external patterns, the way you think, the way you speak, the way you act, what they actually are, are clues. They’re clues and little symptoms and little peaks of the iceberg poking through the surface of what is going on at the deeper level. It’s really important to look at these clues and use them to allow you to dive deeper, because they are the result of that story. They’re the story being played out.

It’s kind of like the story is the script, and then your life is the play where it all comes to life. When you step back and look at it from a higher perspective, you’ll find it’s actually the same script being played out over and over again, just different places and different faces, but kind of the same storyline. There’s that pattern that keeps happening over and over again. Maybe you’re aware of it already, or maybe once you start noticing it and zooming out a little bit, you will notice that, “Wow, that is actually kind of the same thing again just with different people and in a different setting.” It’s because the story is what feeds and informs the pattern. The story doesn’t really change, it just kind of plays itself out in all these different ways.

So, by noticing the pattern (which is your money habit archetype, the way you show up around money) – whether you have this tendency to always want to accumulate money, or you have this tendency that all the money that comes in magically manages to go out again, or maybe you have a tendency where no matter how much money comes in more than that disappears, you manage to actually go backwards even though your income might be increasing – these are money habit archetypes, and what they are, are a clue to what’s going on beneath the surface, which is the old money story. 

It’s the easiest way to uncover those money stories that are running the show at the unconscious level. You look at the money habit archetype, which is kind of the tip of the iceberg poking out, and then you use that to drill your way down and go deeper and deeper and find what lies beneath.

That is how you then get to change it.

First you’ve got to find it, find your way down, and then you know what you’re dealing with, and you can change it.

If you’re ready to get started on that, then I highly recommend that you take my Money Habit Archetype Quiz. 

Not only will it tell you what your money habit archetype is, which is nice to know, but it is that tip of the iceberg… and what you will then have the opportunity to do is dive deeper.

So what you do is you do the quiz, and then I’ll send you a series of emails that help you uncover the story that’s driving it, that’s informing that money habit archetype at the unconscious level and then you’ll have the opportunity to disconnect it, to start to weaken and shift and change that old story and start to install a new one.

So, you’ve got some work to do! I’ve popped the link to the quiz in the description of this video, so jump on that right away!

And until I see you next, make sure you keep on embracing your beautiful and unlimited potential.

Why making a 6 figure income was easy in your job but hard in your business

Why making a 6 figure income was easy in your job but hard in your business

Have you have a job in the past where you made an easy 6-figures, found it very easy and had no trouble accepting that level of income… but when it comes to your business there’s all these weird blocks going on and you just can’t seem to get there and you feel really weird about it?

What is going on with that? That’s what I’d like to talk to you about today, because it happens to a lot of women in business.

What it means is that if you’ve come from, maybe, a corporate career where you’ve effortlessly made over 6-figures, you step into business thinking it’ll just be the same, and then when the business doesn’t take off and you’re not earning that level of income, you think there’s something wrong with your business and you think there’s something wrong with you, because you’ve earned that amount of money in the past and so what’s the big deal?

Well, it is a big deal, and that’s what I want you to become very, very aware of. 

It’s a very big deal, and it’s a totally different thing making 6-figures and multiple 6-figures in your business versus earning 6-figures and multiple 6-figures in a career where somebody else is paying the wages.

It comes down to just a couple of things, so let’s talk about those.

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

The first one is that, when you’re in a job, there’s somebody else deciding what that’s worth. There’s someone else who sets that number down as “this is the value of your contribution to the company,” and they decide. And we all know that women suck at negotiating pay rise and all those sorts of things and that’s why they also suck at setting price rises in their business, because there it’s TOTALLY up to you.

In a company where you’re the employee, your employer will set your wage and your salary and you will sit down for your annual review and you may get better at negotiating a pay raise, but largely most women will avoid it, and the reason why they avoid that and they feel uncomfortable about it, is the same reason why they struggle to earn that amount of money in their business, because no one has set that first number for them. 

No one sets that number, YOU have to set that number.

You have to decide what you’re worth. You have to decide what your service is worth and set your value, and YOU have to negotiate your own price rises and decide that your services are now worth even more.

So that’s a really big deal, and it comes down to all sorts of things around worthiness, and feeling deserving, and all those very deep-seated unconscious belief systems. That’s why it’s not the same thing, and that’s why it feels so much harder.

Another thing that is a huge block for women in business is that when they were in the corporate career, they were being paid by the corporation, the big company, some faceless organization, or at least a big enough business that could afford to pay them a 6-figure plus salary. So it’s like, “Well, they’re making great money. They can afford to pay me that. I’m good with accepting that money.” 

But when you go into business, particularly one that’s service based and where you’re helping people, and especially if you’re helping people with things like personal development or healing or anything like that, then you’re coming from a place of true service and wanting to help and lift others up, and so then needing to charge those people what you know you’re worth and what you know your service is worth brings that whole other element of, “Oh… but I’m charging it to the little person. I’m charging it to the single mum, or I’m charging it to the divorcee, or I’m charging it to this woman who’s just told me that things are a little bit tight right now,” and you have to do that over and over and over again. 

That can become a big money block where you worry about the impact that paying for your service has on somebody else’s life. It’s not just some big company or corporation that you don’t have any emotional attachment to, it is a real person who you care about and in some instances they’re telling you that they’re experiencing some level of discomfort or stress or maybe even hardship and your service is part of how they hope to get past that and out of it, but you have to charge them for it.

So 6-figures in a job versus 6-figures in a business, especially a service-based business, especially for a woman, are not at all the same thing, and you really need to make sure you do the deeper work very, very committedly and with tenacity so that you can totally own that number. That number that you’re charging to each and every customer and that number of what it is you’re bringing home and into your life through this business that you’ve created.

I think another time it might be really cool to talk about the deeper stuff within that, but for now let’s leave it at that.

I encourage you to go and do some journaling on this. This is a really good one to write some reflections about.

What’s stopping the money from flowing is never about money

What’s stopping the money from flowing is never about money

If you’ve been frustrated that money just isn’t flowing to you and you’re trying to work out what the hell is going on, then this is something really important for you to get your head around.

And that is that the thing that’s stopping the money from flowing, is never about the money. 

It is never about the money because money is just a symbol. Money is a symbol of all sorts of things in our society, but most importantly it is a symbol of value and worth. We literally say, “Do you know what she’s worth? Do you know what he’s worth?”

So we’ve managed to link money up to self-worth, our worthiness, our deservingness, our value. 

That is where the problem comes in, because when there are issues around feeling deserving, feeling valuable, feeling worthy of having lots of good things coming to you and being taken care of and knowing that it just keeps flowing and that everything’s totally fine, many people – you probably included – have some stuff going on at the unconscious level that’s just not a match to that.

It often comes back to benign seeming things in early childhood – or maybe not so benign – that created some sort of limiting belief.

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

Whether it was some decision made that, “Ah, I’m not good enough to have what I made,” or, “I’m not allowed to speak up because others will judge me,” or, “There’s never enough to go around and it’s greedy to ask for more than my share.” These kinds of limiting beliefs often come from seemingly innocent things in early childhood and usually just parents who are ignorant of the impact they’re making with their statements and their actions.

But then what happens is that you take it on and, literally, in your nervous system you start a little daisy chain of a pattern that reinforces that belief, that decision that was made somewhere back early on. Then every time something similar happens in your life and your experience, it reinforces it. It’s like, “See? It’s true! See? There’s something else! See? There’s MORE evidence!” 

And as you know, what you focus on, expands. If you’re starting to program your mind, your reticular activating system, to seeing the world through this lens, you will see more and more and more of it, and you will become more of a vibrational match to it, it’ll become wired deeper into your unconscious and so you will continue drawing more and more experiences that are a perfect match to it into your life. That’s why it’ll just escalate and escalate and escalate, but the thing that started it is often something pretty simple.

This is what we do in hypnotherapy and timeline therapy. It can seem a little bit big and overwhelming like, “Oh, shivers, where does this come from?” However, I just want to let you know that it’s never about the money and you really need to look at, 

“What does the money represent to me and how would having more money make that belief untrue?”

That’s where the problem comes in, right?

If the money comes in, and then that means that it doesn’t match that belief, well then we’ve got a mismatch, we’ve got a problem here. And so that’s why the money doesn’t come. So you do need to be able to change that limiting belief, that deeper unconscious thing that’s sitting there and once you resolve that, then the money can come, because the money is then no longer contrary to that belief that has been taken on.

So, a very simple way to start unravelling all of this is to simply ask, “What would I need to believe for this to keep happening? What is the match, and if I did have more money flowing in, what would that then no longer be a match to? Where would the disconnect be?”

So look at it in both ways, “What is keeping small here a match to? And if I went to the next level, what would that be incongruent with, what would that mean, and what would that no longer mean?”

These kind of deep and powerful questions are how you connect to your unconscious mind and start unravelling some of these threads.

Yes, you can do that in a 1:1 session with myself or another practitioner, but you can actually go a very long way on your own, simply by asking the right kind of questions and working with your unconscious.

The key thing to remember is that it’s never about the money.

It’s about what the money represents.

When you don’t have the money to get to 6-figures, do this!

When you don’t have the money to get to 6-figures, do this!

So you want to get to 6-figures, but you feel like you don’t have the money to put into your business to help you get there. 

So frustrating and so… kind of comical – almost. You want to make more money, but you don’t have the money to do it. 

So what can you do about that?

Well, number one, you don’t need to have money to make money. That’s one of those limiting beliefs that you can just ditch. 

But you may be feeling that right now in your business – because you feel like you can’t possibly take your business to 6-figures unless you can afford to pay someone to support you or rebuild your website or pay for a new tool that allows you to leverage your time. Something like that. There’s some investment you feel you need to make that will allow you to grow, and that’s totally a part of doing business.

So here’s the secret to getting past that and to solving that perceived problem:

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

Most women in business that I see, they perceive it to be a case of, “I want to get from here to there. So I need to build a staircase.” 

So what they do is they make a list of all the things they need to build the staircase, you know, “I need the timber, the screws, the nails, the tools, maybe the people who actually build the staircase so that it doesn’t collapse on me.” 

They make that big list, and then they look at their current resources and they think, “Well I don’t have any of those things, or very few of those things, so I guess I can’t build the staircase… and I can’t reach that next level.”

So I ask you to just stop for a moment and step back and think about it differently, because we’re not building an actual physical staircase here, we’re building expansion in your business. That means that you don’t need to build the entire staircase in one hit to reach that next level of income, in fact all you need to be able to do is build the next step.

There are many, many ways that you can find the resources to just build that next step.

I’ll give you a couple of practical pointers with this:

Number one, you’ve established that you need this staircase and you already know all the things that are required to make it happen. Make sure you list them out really carefully, and then get really, really clear on which is your next step, and which one is the one after that. So not just knowing that this is all the things I need to reach the top, but what is it exactly that I need to build my next step. 

What is my next step? Then: What do I need to build it? 

You’ll find that that’s just a little baby step. You can break it down into really tiny little baby steps that are very achievable for you, and then if that requires funding, then all you need to do is look at where you’re currently spending money in your business, and re-allocate some of that money so that this step can be built.

So you might decide that this week you are going to distribute your newsletter yourself and your VA takes a week off, and you’re going to put that money into something else that helps you build this next step. Maybe you’ll get her to do a different job without increasing her hours. There are lots of creative ways you can re-allocate the money you’re already spending in your business.

Or you may decide that you’re going to raise these funds. 

So you may have a special offer, you may email your existing clients and say, “Hey, if you want to buy ahead, I’ve got a special package for you,” something like that, that helps you get a little bit of an influx of money just for this one step.

But I do really want to urge you to keep that very small, because the last thing I want you to do, is have some massive sale, be inundated, get the money in, but then be so bogged down in delivering those services that you don’t actually have any time to build that step, and I do see that happen a lot. 

Then you think, “Well I need to pay even more people to help me build the staircase because I can’t even hammer a nail in myself, I’m too busy.” At the same time, you’re totally getting worn out and you don’t even have time to think about building the staircase, or direct how that next step should be built and so it just never happens.
That’s something to be really mindful of. 

So, break it down into just, “Exactly what do I need to build this next step” and keep it there. It’s kind of the opposite to how most people think. They think, “Go build the whole staircase. I need all the materials, all the resources, ready to go and I’m doing it,” and I really urge you to do the OPPOSITE to that because it will be much more sustainable and easy for you. It will also stop you from burning yourself out and then unconsciously sabotaging yourself, because ‘business is way too much work’, right? 

You know what I’m talking about! 😊

So that is how you do it. Make sure you keep at it and grab my free training as well, to which there is a link in the description.

What is an upper limit in your business anyway?

What is an upper limit in your business anyway?

If you’ve read Gay Hendricks’ book, The Big Leap, then you’d be familiar with the term “upper limit,” because he discusses it quite a bit in that book. It’s banded around a lot between women in business – particularly in the online entrepreneurial space.

You know, “Aw, I’ve hit an upper limit. Ugh, that’s my upper limit.”

So let’s talk about that. 

What is an “upper limit” in your business, anyway?

In the book where Gay Hendricks discusses the upper limits, what he’s actually referring to is not specific to business. He’s referring to how much “goodness,” or joy, or “things going well,” you’re currently able to allow yourself because it feels like your normal, and anything beyond that starts to make you uncomfortable, because things are suddenly not normal. So your biology goes on alert and says, “Ooh, there’s something out of wack here. This is unexpected. We’d better be on the lookout, because there must be trouble up ahead,” when there’s an alert of “something’s not quite within the normal known parameters”, then you go onto alert and you unconsciously do something to restore order, to restore the status quo, to restore the normal way of things.

He uses examples like: Everything’s going really well in business and life, you’re cruising along, and things are just getting almost too good to be true… see where that comes from? Things are getting almost too good to be true and so then suddenly you have this massive argument with your partner that comes totally out of nowhere. 

That’s that “restoring order” thing. You unconsciously pick a way to have an argument and that kind of brings the level of happiness and joy back to its normal standard average level.

So when it comes to your business, we usually talk about how well your business is performing in this upper limit conversation. We talk about how much you’re earning, what your gross income is, how much profit you’re making, all those kinds of things.

It’s the same thing, really. It’s the amount of ABUNDANCE you are currently comfortable with, and you’re used to. The edge of that is your upper limit.

The thing to recognize is that this is not about, “I’m growing and expanding and suddenly, BANG, I’ve hit my head on this upper limit and where did that come from?” 

What it means is you’ve grown and expanded faster than you’ve vibrationally kept up with.

Let me explain that a little bit deeper.

 

WATCH THE VIDEO :

OR LISTEN TO THE AUDIO:

OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT:

When I say you need to vibrationally keep up with it, you actually need to vibrationally be ahead of it a little bit. What I mean, is that you need to do the work, the inner work, that allows you to feel really comfortable and to actually feel that level of abundance BEFORE you perceive it and BEFORE you receive it on the physical level. 

So you need to already feel that amount of abundance on the inside, and then when it shows up for you in your external world, it’s a match and there is no upper limit. 

It is within the realm of your new normal.

So you need to do that vibrational work and that growing and expanding in your own feelings of abundance, in how much abundance is normal and natural and how much you perceive, and see, and allow yourself to have and feel as natural and normal, and you’re absolutely worthy and deserving of. You need to get all of that work done, because then as you do the practical actions that match that and your business starts to grow and your income continues to grow and multiply and expand, it’s all a match and there is no upper limit.

You don’t ever, ever, ever need to hit an upper limit in business, as long as you put the vibrationally work first, and you don’t try to outgrow your current comfort zone. Else it will always try to knock you back down and retain the status quo.

So that is what an upper limit in business is.

I just want you to really, really remember that there is no need for them, whatsoever. 

It is NOT a rite of passage. It is not something to be proud of and brag to your friends about. It is not normal or natural, in fact it’s telling you there’s a problem. Just as when there’s pain in your body, it’s letting you know there’s a problem and there’s something you need to address, this is a signal. An upper limit is a signal that you have not kept up vibrationally with where you’re trying to take your reality to and so you’re bouncing off the edge. 

It’s as simple as that.

OK, keep up the awesome work & make sure you grab my free training that is linked in the description to help you go a little bit deeper.

Until I see you next, keep embracing your gorgeous and totally unlimited potential.
