Ever wonder if your mindset is holding you back from making more money?
In this post, I’ll share the 7 mindset blocks that hold back female entrepreneurs back from hitting their income goals.
Most female entrepreneurs believe that if they take more action they will hit their income goals. I coach entrepreneurs who are working harder than ever, taking on more projects, creating new offers, and yet their income remains the same year after year.
If working harder made you more profit, the people who do the most labour in the world would earn the highest. And yet, the highest earning person in the world right now is Elon Musk, who as far as I know, does no manual labour. In fact, the richest people in the world do not work harder. They work smarter. They use their mind, and of course, they don’t get there alone. They have a team of advisors who help them get there.
So before we get into the 7 mindsets that are holding you back from your earning potential, I want you to disconnect the idea that hard work equals more money. It simply doesn’t.
Now, this doesn’t mean that your business won’t require you to work hard. But working harder will not get you to your next income goal. What will get you there is strategic thinking. Most importantly, what won’t get you there are some of your current mindsets and behaviours.
This is the work we do inside coaching – releasing patterns of thinking & behaviour that don’t serve you and adopt strategic thinking and decision making to create new results.
After coaching hundreds of entrepreneurs, I discovered that there are 7 mindsets that female entrepreneurs need to drop to hit their income goals faster. Here are they are in no particular order:
#1 Listening to self-doubt.
Everybody has an internal voice of self-doubt. Although it’s normal and healthy to have a little self doubt, the problem occurs when you listen to your doubt more than your confidence. Doubt will show up at every opportunity in your business. It will make you question yourself and stop you from moving forward. It will have you searching and looking for answers outside instead of trusting yourself. You want to acknowledge when doubt comes up, and decide to move forward anyway.
#2 Winners or losers.
Often when we’re going for big goals, we start to think in terms of winning or losing. For example, if you hit your monthly goal you may think you’re a winner. But if you don’t hit your monthly goal you might think you’re a loser. But here’s the thing: winning or losing is a binary concept which originates from a younger part of yourself. Mature thinking goes beyond the binary. Losing actually teaches you how to win next time. Every failure gets you closer to success.
#3 Perfection.
One of the things that’s going to cost you a lot of time and money is perfection. You might be thinking that you’re not a perfectionist, but if you spend any more than 30 minutes writing a social media post or spend days finding the right exact canva graphics, my friend, you’re a perfectionist. Doing it messy will get you so much further. Your clients don’t want perfect. Their primary question they’re asking themselves is can you help me?
#4 People pleasing.
People pleasing is sometimes the hardest habit to kick. People pleasing happens when you are trying to please your audience instead of showing up as your unapologetic authentic self online. It also shows up when you don’t want to choose a niche because you want to appeal to everybody. Find your reasons for why you’re doing what you want to do. Practice letting people be disappointed. Tap into your mission and vision, and let people think whatever they want about you. If this feels really hard, click here to book call with me to see how I can help you.
#5 Hustling.
Hustling is what you do when you’re believing that the results you want are possible for you. The less you believe, the more you’ll hustle to sell your offers. You want to show up in a way that’s consistent yet sustainable for you. Because the last thing we want is for you to burn out.
