Are Old Money Beliefs Still Controlling You?
“I’m afraid to ask anyone to pay me for my expertise.” This fear, confessed to by 5 different well-trained and certified professional leadership and executive coaches, shouldn’t have surprised me, but it did. Most of them come from corporate backgrounds and provide services through large coaching companies.
They all wanted to start or increase their private practices, but something is holding them back. They, like most of my clients, are hesitant to take the risks of asking for what they want and having someone, anyone, tell them “no.”
One of the coaches pointed out that they believed in scarcity rather than abundance. That’s something most people I know have wrestled with. Most of you grow up hearing messages like “money doesn’t grow on trees,” “we can’t afford that,” and “you have to work hard for your money.” You may even have heard a message like “you’ll never amount to anything.”
Then living in a time of rising costs and economic uncertainty reinforces those personal messages that have become your beliefs about how the world works. You feel paralyzed, afraid to rock the boat in any way.
It is challenging to ask for what you want. Those beliefs keep you, like those coaches, from taking any action that would help you learn how to do so. Changing those beliefs makes space to learn the skills you need to move from scarcity to abundance.
We’ve written this book to help you easily and gently change those beliefs. Read it now!
