Breaking Through Income Barriers By Stepping Into Your Power With Money
For those of you who are regular readers of my articles - you would have seen that over the past few weeks Ive been concentrating on the topic of money. ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Money is often something we dont talk about with our friends and colleagues, other than the occasional complaint that theres never enough or its something you have to work hard for or another similar comment.
The reason Ive pulled back the covers on this taboo subject is because the relationship you have with money can seriously undermine your businesss success.
A few months ago I met Susanna a Life Coach. She had been marketing her services on a daily basis and attending regular networking meetings. However despite all of her hard work her dreams of building a thriving business remained out of reach.
What Susanna failed to realise was that even with the best business-building strategies in place,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because she hadnt addressed her mindset and the beliefs she had around money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these were now keeping her stuck from reaching her income goals.
The money stories she had grown up with; the way her parents managed their money in particular her mothers spending habits had become a major influence on Susannas life.
Taking a step back in her business and asking herself some poignant questions she was finally able to see how her familys money legacy and her beliefs were the reason why she was struggling to reach her income goals.
Here are some of the ways Susannas relationship with money was showing up for her in her business.
By not standing in her power with money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Susanna would often:
Reduce her fee when providing a quote to a prospect
Cave in and offer a discount even after she had quoted her normal fees
Go over the allocated time in her coaching session
Not track her income
Not check her bills/accounts/credit card statement to ensure all the charges were accurate
Not follow up on errors she had found on her bills / accounts / credit card statement
Not chase up overdue accounts that other people owed her, to name a few
Recognise any of them? What about these?
Not Charging What Youre Worth:
Not contacting a client to re-negotiate your fee when you realise the project theyve hired you for is clearly far more complicated and involved than what they led you to believe
Not putting your fees up even though youve been charging a far lower rate than your competitors AND youre delivering far better results than everyone else
Putting WAY too much content in your coaching programs
Being at the beck and call of your clients and dropping everything whenever they contact you even the smallest of things which should have been handled by your team
Being far too accessible for your clients and not charging enough for that privilege
Thinking youre not good enough and NOT launching your programs
Ineffective Systems:
Not having a bold money goal
Not putting away money and having a kitty that you can draw upon for any unexpected situations
Not keeping a filing system to streamline the tracking and scheduling of your accounts
Paying your accounts late and getting late fines
Not regularly reconciling your bank accounts / statements / credit cards
Not knowing how much money you owe
Not taking an interest in your businesss financial situation and saying Oh, my accountant/bookkeeper knows all of that
Not being able to understand the important elements of your businesss profit and loss and other business reports
Not having a budget in place
Not sticking to your budget and overspending
Tolerating Support Team & Supplier Inefficiencies:
Bartering and doing contra deals being the ONLY way you get support for your business
Making excuses for one of your team members whos NOT pulling their weight
Not following up with a supplier when they havent met a promised deadline
Settling for second best and/or accepting something from a supplier when the quality they promised is not delivered
Your Spending Habits:
Buying things that you clearly dont need and that just end up collecting dust, alongside all of the other things youve bought (that you also didnt need)
Buying things for other people that they didnt need and just end up collecting dust
Spending outside your means because you want to fit in with other people
Spending money not because you need the item but because the act of spending makes you feel good
NOT spending anything on yourself and being too frugal
How many do you recognise?
To step into your power with money (and no longer throw money away):
Plug up those money leaks by making a commitment to yourself to NOT do any of the things Ive mentioned above
Develop some systems/processes to keep you on track to avoid falling back into those old bad money habits
Get creative and make a Money Vision Board
Stop complaining about that team member and finally hire someone that will provide you with the level of support you need to take your business to the next levelTopics related articles：
