How The Belief That We Need To Work Hard For Money Holds Us Back Financially

Growing up I was taught that if I want to make good money or a lot of money, I had to be willing to work super hard.

I bought into this belief and learned to work hard.

I spent my twenties mastering hard work, reading up on how to push through exhaustion to get to my second wind.

I truly believed that if I worked hard enough, people would eventually notice.

I believed this until I connected my lack of sleep to my anxiety and connected my anxiety to my panic attacks and my depression and connected my depression to my digestive issues.

That’s when I decided: no more!

My mental, emotional and physical health was too important.

I stopped buying into this concept of success and started asking myself key questions: how can I build a company and still prioritize self care and pleasure? How can I increase my income with ease?

One of the things I had to do in addition to releasing my vow of invisibility, was to own how I make others invisible.

And how I force others to dim their light or shun people who shine brightly.

For example:

*When I started in business, I used to be one of those people who didn’t want to support coaches that I saw growing and doing the things I wished to do.

*I used to feel some type of way when people shared their victories and be silently envious that they were doing well.

*I’d also secretly want people around me to shrink and stay small and not really grab opportunities. And start to distance myself from well performing friends.

*I’d verbally support my friends to look good but in my heart, it didn’t feel so good. So I wouldn't easily share knowledge I knew would benefit them because I needed us to be on the same wave length because I didn’t believe I could do what they were doing.
