Scarcity mindset is a HUUUUGE distraction from the actual work of bringing the big bucks into your business...

Funny story (ok it wasn't at the time, but hindsight's a helluva thing), I was pet sitting in Mexico + Costa Rica in the worst period of scarcity in my life (but I was in the tropics, surrounded by dogs so life wasn't too shabby).

Luckily I could live on $20 a week over there because pet sitting gave me a free roof over my head in exotic locations.

I was creating online courses and putting them out to sell.

A couple of people would buy it.

So I'd gross maybe $300-$400 a week from those sales.

But then I'd go into a flap because my story was, 'No one wants to buy from me' because I wasn't being flooded with orders 😭😭😭😭

(SIDENOTE: I was used to being flooded with leads and hitting $30k months - so I had high expectations, but when I lost my date coaching business in 2014, I completely lost my way)

So I'd stop selling.

I'd withdraw.

Feel like shit for a week.

Sit in chronic anxiety.

Avoid work for a while.

Then when I started to come good, I'd create another course.

This pattern went on for 6 years.

Blinded By A Scarcity Money Mindset

And this is what happens when our thoughts aren't aligned with our reality... we sabotage the good things because they don't fit the narrative we've created for ourselves.

So if you're stuck in a scarcity-based money mindset - where the anxiety is so consuming, that you don't see the thousands of opportunities hitting you in the face like a wet fish.

Financial Anxiety Is A Hell Of A Thing

Our desires move faster than our mind can catch up. Anyone can just declare, "I wanna be a millionaire!"

Then you need to sell it to the part of you who doesn't believe it.

So you have conditioning baked in that fights against that desire (it's like that friend who shits on everything positive you say). *None of my friends do that, they're awesome 😍

If your desire is to make a million... but your unconscious mind has a fear of success (and making money), then it'll create friction in your body.

This creates an internal tug-o-war between your Success Part vs. Your Fear Part.

And these 2 are at war, which creates anxiety.

Different thoughts + emotions are competing in your mind...

and screwing up your income.

The Money Mindset Shift You Need to Turn off Resistance

So I guess your next burning question is, HOW DO I FIX THIS?

My lazy answer is hypnosis... and I want to explain how and why.

The BIGGEST thing you need right now is to feel safe to make money.

Safe to sell.

Safe to charge more.

Safe to put yourself out there.

The second thing is embracing the belief that you have control over money.

THIS.IS.BIG!

QUICK SIDENOTE: My hypnosis works by firstly embedding those 2 premises, followed by a personalised step by step to achieve your big goal + embodying your successful self.
