One of the most important lessons I’ve learned as an entrepreneur and coaching other women entrepreneurs is this:

Where you are financially in your business is a direct result of your beliefs about money.

Our beliefs determine our thoughts and feelings.

Our thoughts and feelings determine our actions.

Our actions determine our results.

We create the result we believe we will achieve – whether positive or negative.

That’s actually good news, when you think about it, because with a little attention and awareness we can change our beliefs.

Let me give you an example:

A client of mine was convinced that she couldn’t make any more money in her business – there’s her belief.

This made her feel hopeless, helpless and insecure.

She was focusing her thoughts on all of the “reasons” her belief was true. (We all do this, if we believe something we look for things to validate our beliefs and disregard anything that doesn’t support it.)

Because she believed she couldn’t make any more money, felt hopeless, helpless and insecure, and her thoughts were focused on the reasons her belief was true her actions ensured that she wouldn’t disprove her belief:

When someone called to find out about her service, she wouldn’t call them back for 3 or 4 days, or she would lose their number. She wouldn’t follow up with people she met through networking. There were a number of things she did on a regular basis to sabotage herself and get in the way of increasing her income.

And guess what?

She wasn’t able to make any more money in her business. In fact, she was started to make even less…

We did some work around this belief so she could see that her belief of “not being able to make any more money” was actually created the result she expected.

I challenged her to see if she could come up with a belief that would support her goal of making more income and, after several tries, she realized that it was possible for her to believe that she could make an additional $100 within the next week.

We came up with specific, easy steps she could take to act on some of the opportunities already in front of her (she hadn’t been able to see them before…).

She started to feel hopeful and confident.

She focused her thoughts on how easy it would be to take the steps we had talked about.

She took action on those steps.

And guess what?

She didn’t make an extra $100 the next week. She made an extra $700 with more on the way!

Do you see how that worked? By bringing her limiting money belief into the open she could very clearly see how it led her to create the results she expected.

When we helped her to change that belief, she created new results.

Coaches challenge:

Identify your money belief about your business income and how it is creating specific results in your business.

Next, see if you can come up with a new belief that support your growth and see what results you create.
