Let me tell you a little story about a girl who grew up believing she had to be perfect in order to be worthy of anything she desired.

(Let me know if this story sounds familiar? Drop me a message HERE).

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Christin, who had a dad called Paul.

Christin loved her daddy so much and she wanted to spend time with him.

But her dad Paul had other priorities because he felt a heavy-weighted duty to provide for his family.

He felt the need to work more so that he can make more money in his business.

So Christin decided: "I'm unworthy of my daddy's love and attention, money seems to always come first!"

She saw her dad get stressed every time anyone brought up the money subject.

Just like that, Christine formed a few beliefs about herself and money, here are some of those beliefs:

"I'm unworthy of dad's time and attention."

This became "I'm unworthy", a very deep ingrained belief that defined her identity for years! Which has affected how she viewed herself, her business and the service that she provides. So she lowered her prices. Yet still struggled to sign clients on because she believed she was unworthy on a deep level.

"Money comes before my happiness, love and attention."

This turned into; "I need to self-sacrifice for money". That money was the most important thing. She put herself last.

"You have to work hard for money."

So she moved into her life feeling like she has to work more, for more money. feeling like whatever she did, it just wasn't enough. That she needed to do more. She believed she had to be perfect to be worthy of big money goals.

Money causes stress, money is bad.

And so even though, on the surface she really wanted her business to grow beyond her wildest dreams. On a subconscious level, she created a link between money and stress. She believed that the more money you have, the more stressed that you are. She felt uncomfortable navigating her prospects through the money section during sales calls.

The above beliefs showed up in Christin's life in many ways, and affected so many aspects of her life.

Here are some of the ways how:

Spending:

When she really wanted to buy something for herself, she felt unworthy of that thing.

Earning:

She didn't believe she was worthy of high monthly income so she set smaller goals. So no matter how hard she worked, she couldn't work out why her hard work wasn't paying off.

Christin spent years of her life, not knowing that this was happening below the surface.

She continued to unknowingly attract situations that confirmed those beliefs.

Until she decided to make a change, and work smart instead of hard

She said enough is enough!

She was no longer willing to sacrifice herself, her time, her energy for money. She wanted to use money as a tool, instead of having

One night, she looked up at the stars (Instagram)

And made a wish upon a star that her pain would be gone, and she would no longer hold so much fear around money. That she would feel confident in her relationship with money.

(And she messaged me to enquire about working with me)

Her guide appeared in a bright light, and at that moment she felt that everything was going to be okay!

She felt safe and secure and hopeful for the future.

And with every session, it became easier and easier for her to grow her business faster than ever before.

The money that she invested in herself became insignificant. Because the money that she made (and continues to make) massively outweighs her investment.

She's now fearless when it comes to raising her prices.

She now enjoys setting herself bigger and bigger goals every month. (Oh and she hits every single one!)

She's now on track to hit multi-6-figures in her business and growing her team to allow her the time freedom she desired.
