How to Use Your Intuition to Root Out Your Money Hang-ups

Has going from employee to entrepreneur been harder than you thought?

Are you finding it difficult to charge what you’re worth?

Are you surprised at not getting the results you expected?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you’re not alone in fact, you’re in good company. Most entrepreneurs suffer a shock to the system when they go from employee to entrepreneur. Self-employment brings up all the unresolved issues you have about your worth, deserving and ability to receive.  And, if possible it’s best to get these hang ups cleared out before you go solo.

Be prepared to suffer “growing pains” throughout the life cycle of your business. The truth is that in order for your business to grow you must also grow and develop the ability to achieve at higher levels. This means not only acquiring new business skills but the mental and emotional capacity to confidently be seen and take action on a bigger stage.

So how do you know if you have money hang-ups? If the money isn’t flowing in your business even though you’ve implemented all the right business and marketing strategies then it’s highly likely that money hang-ups are the culprits causing you to self-sabotage.

Money hang ups are tell tale signs that your internal growth hasn’t kept up with the challenges of your external growth and ambition. If the money you desire from all your efforts isn’t flowing into your business the first place to look is your internal beliefs around your worth, deserving and ability to receive. It doesn’t matter how much strategy you have under your belt either. Money hang ups do not discriminate on the bases of knowledge.

5 Questions to Intuitively Root out Your Money Hang ups

Instructions Step 1: Go somewhere quiet where you won’t be disturbed, take a few relaxing breaths and answer the following questions:

1. Do you feel there’s a mismatch between your plentiful education, training, certifications and what you’re earning?

2. Do you feel you should be farther ahead by now?

3. Are you applying all the right business and marketing tactics but still not getting the results you expect?

4. No matter how much you accomplish do you always focus on how much is still left to do?

5. Do you feel more comfortable giving (compliments/gifts) rather than being the recipient?

Go deeper with your intuition

Step 2: Record only the Yeses. Review each YES and ask yourself “Why?” As you do see what thoughts, feelings or memories come to mind. Go with the first thoughts, memories and associated feelings that come up. These will likely be big clues as to what the root of the problem is. When you work with intuition often your first thought is correct.

Change your story

Step 3: Once you have an intuitive feel for where your money hang ups are and what they are telling you change the story. Rewrite it with a better ending – the one you wish had happened. Forgive yourself for any mistakes you might have made. Look back with fresh eyes or perhaps through adult eyes if the memory was from childhood and see the truth about yourself as you are now, not the child you once were. Tell yourself now that you know better you’ll do better next time. Release your old story and free yourself.

Be an advocate for yourself

Step 4: Get clear on what needs to change in order for you to succeed. Ask  yourself what you’re tired of putting up with? Take a stand for yourself and your business and take action.

Do you lack business strategy and marketing skills? Hire a mentor to help you work on implementing those aspects of your business.

Could you do with some energy clearing to finally remove the money hang ups for good? Hire a mentor to help you eliminate the psychological obstacles blocking your path to your success.

Celebrate how far you’ve come!

Money hang ups aren’t the end of the world because they don’t have to be permanent. They’re red flags that point to what aspects of yourself still need work, compassion and TLC.

What did you discover about yourself? What aspects of yourself do you need to focus on in order to clear your money hang-ups?
