Most of us grew up hearing messages that reinforced the idea that money is scarce and that we should hold onto our money and avoid spending it on anything that’s “too much.” People will drive 30 minutes across town just to save $0.03 on a gallon of gas, as if that’s what makes you a good person. We’ve also heard things like, “It’s stupid to waste money on expensive things.”  These are your money stories.

In fact, spending money on certain things isn’t part of most people’s value system. For example, “Why spend money on breakfast?” “Why buy a $450 bottle of wine when you can buy it cheaper at the liquor store?” ($450 used to be Steph’s car payment!)

When you’re in business, these kinds of lack-based and scarcity-based ideas can actually hold you back from growth.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

Many business owners are terrified to spend money. They run their business based on survival. They’re worried about, “What if something bad happens? What if the other shoe drops?” Deep down, they have a fear of looking stupid.

The truth is, if you hold on to money, your business dies. If you run your business based on survival, your business dies.

You can change a lack mindset by focusing on what you desire. You get to choose what to believe in. You can choose to operate based on abundance rather than lack.
