How to Shift Your Money Mindset from Scarcity to Abundance

Ever feel like there’s never enough money? I used to as well. Back when I first started my business I was stuck in a paradigm of “never enough.” “Never enough money.” “Never enough time.” Pure scarcity. As I started to tweak and hone my mindset, reshaping and reframing these beliefs. Money is all around you. It’s in the phone you hold in your hand. It’s the laptop you work on. It’s the person. It’s the coffee shop itself. Shift your mindset and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Deep Breath. You Got This.

Deep Breath. You Got This.

This used to drive me CRAZY in the personal development space. I would hear my coaches and mentors say, “All you have to do is DECIDE.” DECIDE to be successful. DECIDE to be unavailable for anything less than profit and prosperity. DECIDE to make sh*tons of money. DECIDE to have a business and life that freaking rocks your socks off! And for me, back in 2017, I wanted to punch my head through a wall, because I had decided. I had gone all in...and I still wasn’t seeing results as fast or as bountiful as I had wanted. Frustrating, right? I had to ask... What does it mean to DECIDE? Make that decision and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

Live Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances: The Parallel of Money and Acting

Live Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances: The Parallel of Money and Acting

This whole “money mindset” was never a thing that I had to focus on. When I wanted to make $1500 a week teaching Pilates, I made $1500 a week. I set the intention, did the work, achieved the result. It never occurred to me that there was a whole mindset around money. I never started thinking about my “money mindset” until I was $40,000 in debt with a fledgling hobbyist “business,” with one client at $100/month and no notion of a sales process back in 2016. I didn’t make the connection between what had made me successful before in past businesses, sales, and money. So I made it all about money. I thought about money all the time. I thought about all the ways I could make money. I journaled about money goals. I made it all about money. I counted every penny. I was vigilant with my spending. But still, no sales. No business. And I was still stuck on the struggle bus. The problem was I made it about MONEY.

Meet Yourself When You Sell

Meet Yourself When You Sell

I was working with my client who was struggling with people canceling their membership to his programs. “You know, Kim with the economy being what it is, I don’t blame them. I mean, I’ve been hunkering down, looking at my finances and looking where I can shave off a few dollars as well.” “Hmmm…” I said. He must have noticed my pause. “What do you mean…’hmm’?” He asked me. “Well, it’s just interesting. As my mentor, Eben Pagan says, ‘‘When you sell you meet yourself.’” “Hmmm, that is interesting,” he said. I could see his wheels spinning. First, let me be clear, there is nothing wrong with managing your expenses, being fiscally responsible, being aware of where your money is going, honoring the dollars you spend and the dollars that are given to you in your business. Period. Manifest your money beliefs into reality and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

The Greatest Entrepreneurial Lessons My Dad Taught me.

The Greatest Entrepreneurial Lessons My Dad Taught me.

Dad. It’s a word that packs a lot of meaning. Ask ten people and you’ll get ten different answers. For me “dad” means parks, BELIEF, addiction, shame, money, entrepreneurs, possibility, Faith, challenge, change, pain, joy, pride, hope, county fairs, success, failure, sacrifice, police cars, alcohol, screaming matches, forgiveness dolls, provider, numbing, generosity, escapism, creativity, potential. I grew up with an addict. It felt like I had four dads. And yet, amidst all the multiple personalities and transformations my dad has undergone, he’s managed to grow a business from measly to multi-million dollars a year with my mom. When I called halfway houses back in 2016, they were shocked that he could be such a high-functioning addict. “Truly remarkable!” one woman said.

Why Service-Based Entrepreneurs Should Always Be Selling

“I don’t want to come off as too salesy.” My client was struggling with what a lot of solopreneurs struggle with - how much is too much selling? How do you balance messaging and adding value with selling? Let me ask you this… “When you go into a coffee shop, do you get mad or upset at the barista for trying to sell you coffee?” “No…” my client looked at me quizzically. “Have you ever had a barista say, ‘I’m sorry, I’m not feeling worthy today of selling you a coffee?’” “No,” she said with a laugh. I persist, “And even if, let’s say, that did happen, and you were standing in the coffee shop, even just considering purchasing a coffee, even if you weren’t sure what you wanted, and that barista said that to you, you’d possibly even feel a little offended, right? Like, why are you saying you’re “OPEN” then if you’re not going to sell me a dang cup of coffee?’ Right?” She laughed, “I think this is what you call...a BREAKTHROUGH.”

Think your customers can’t pay when in crisis?

Think your customers can’t pay when in crisis?

“It feels wrong to charge money for my work right now,” my client said to me, trying to convince me of her position. If you ever want to see my enneagram-8 coach-mode come out, say something like this in a session with me, and I’m more than happy to go there. (It’s why my clients pay me.) “Let me ask you this, in a couple of weeks, do you think this situation will get better or worse?” She paused for a moment, “Worse.” “So what’s will be your excuse then about why you’re not charging for your services?” Discover why it’s not your job to decide whether the can or cannot “afford” your services. And it is certainly not your job to dictate how or if they “should” spend money on your products and services. Learn why, as a business owner, it is your responsibility to keep selling, so we keep our economy going on the blog now.

The Energy of Cost vs. The Energy of an Investment

Everything is a form of energy. Food is. Relationships are. Business is. Money is. You receive energy. You generate energy - meaning you have it circling about you in some way. And you spend energy. It’s ALL energy. Ever spend your time with someone who, after an hour or so, you felt completely drained, zapped of life, like you just needed to take a nap. You received their energy and spent your own energy...and not in the best way, or in the best life-giving relationship. The same is true for our relationship with money. HOW we spend money is just as important tas WHAT we spend it on and WHY we are spending it. And it comes down to one simple principle of money...

What No One Tells You About the Law of Attraction

Like attracts like. The Secret. You can manifest money as you desire. Choose to attract what you want in your life - more money, more health, more business, more amazing relationships. All totally true. All 100% possible. But what happens when your actions and behavior, consciously or unconsciously, is out of fear or scarcity? See, that’s the part of the Law of Attraction that’s not so sexy. Like attracts like after all. Scarcity breeds more scarcity. If you’re operating right now from a place of scarcity and fear - hunkering down, budgeting, getting “needy” for clients - you will absolutely 100% attract prospects and clients who are doing the same.

Discover the Magic of Your “Genius Zone”

If you’re experiencing a struggle right now in your virtual business with the dolla dolla bills flowing in - there’s no freaking excuse. A restaurant, gym, brick and mortar, or event-based business, yes, they’re getting hit hard right now. But if you’ve got online biz, or even a portion of your biz online and you’re not bringing in money now when MORE people are online and doing business online than ever before....then, it’s both because of what you’re doing and more importantly, it’s because you’re not BEING the dang thing consistently. Questioning yourself. Doubting. Delaying on doing those things. Getting mired in the spiral of “productive procrastination” - doing all the things - except for those in your genius zone.
