Fear of Financial Success!

If you've grown up with one or all of these word tracks, you're not alone:-

• Money is the root of all evil
• Rich people are greedy/selfish
• I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and sad
• Money can't buy happiness

It's no wonder we're afraid of trying, and very often, afraid of success itself.  If we succeed (or so we've told ourselves), we might just become that greedy, selfish, unhappy individual.  How awful.  Let's remain poor but happy! 

I've spent many an hour over the years looking at various areas of my life where I have allowed these concepts to take hold, and on the subject of money, I find that I certainly am not the only one with these limiting beliefs.

My background is in health, beauty and healing.  This was an area where I certainly adopted my limiting beliefs.  I was fearful of asking for money.  I often felt it was my responsibility to help my clients, even if they couldn't afford my fees.  In structuring my price list I held myself back because I thought that if I had a calling to heal, I couldn't ask too much for the service.  The result was that most months I didn't take any money home and I struggled to pay all my bills.  Working 50+ hours a week and can't pay the rent - now that's what I call unhappiness!

It took me many years to come to terms with the need to put a true value on my time; to appreciate that I had spent thousands on training and upskilling, and that I deserved financial reward.

When I went looking for an alternative way of working and a means of earning really good money, and found my place in the online personal development arena, I was again confronted with this subject of money.  Again, I was thinking, how can I be professing to help others but also "chasing a dollar"? It had become almost a spiritual dilemma.

I believe I've now conquered that silly notion, but want to share with you some words I read recently that puts it in perspective beautifully.  Unfortunately I didn't record the author's name...

"It is possible to be true to your passions, live a life of consequence, and still use business as a medium of expression".
