Thank you for this article. It was just what I needed to read today. I’ve spent the last year transforming my life and my career. I know I co-create all my experiences and replacing old dis-empowering beliefs around money with ones that will serve me not only impacts my bottom line, it will impact those I am working with.

All the Best to You!

I found this a really interesting article, Ellen. I too have written several posts about fears that can hold us back in our business, but I’ve never written about fear of money and it is so true! A part of my business is in Direct Sales and I recall that when I was actively building a team there were persons who held back because they believed talking about making money was a bad thing and were actually afraid of making “too much money”.

Your article reminded me that this can happen to any of us online or offline and these thoughts are generally affected by our belief system. People often misquote that ‘money is the root of all evil’ when it’s the ‘love of money’ that evil – when you’d do anything and sacrifice anyone to get what you want.

Thanks for the reminders.

Thank you for this article. It reiterates to me that I have more work to do on myself but I’ve come a long way. I know and understand that money is energy. I get caught up in the “what takes so long for it to appear” because I’m a GenXer who grew up on MTV, microwaves, CDs, video games, etc…I expect everything I desire and the results I want ASAP. I’m learning patience and divine timing.

BTW … I recently raised my writing fees and it didn’t go over well with a client. In fact, I haven’t been paid yet for the work that I did. I know the value that I add and provide. I have no problem raising my rates and won’t back down.

This is a great article, Ellen. I know I’ve been bogged down by fear at times.
I’ll definitely be doing a “money make-over” in the near future.

Couldn’t agree with you more Ellen! It’s one of the reasons we’ve added a financial mastery program for women to our offerings. It’s difficult to develop the sense of generosity from which great legacy projects are born if you are still struggling or challenged about money. Women especially need a safe place to have these discussions and learn so they can truly become the powerful force for good in the world we know they have the capacity to be. Otherwise no amount of business development, marketing techniques or career transformation will ever be enough.

Great article. Cheers, Dolly

Thanks Penelope! And yes, I think we often tend to forget that money is exactly that…an exchange of energy.

Ellen
This resonates, and is timely reminder that money is an exchange of energy.
