www.scottietaylorjr.com/moneyAs a money coach, one of my tasks to continue to grow, learn, and explore, is to ensure I’m not only challenging myself to expand in my relationship with money, but it’s also my duty to analyze what works, and what doesn’t work, so i can teach that to my clients.
This is new, this is different. Working through something, but then mentally walking back to trace HOW I worked through something is actually a really interesting skillset to develop.
It reminds me of a time I was talking with Ashley back in 2018. She had just hit this massive goal at our work, and people had been asking her: How did you do it?! What’s the secret?! -- And her response was “Honestly, I don’t know! I just woke up here.”
I love that response, because when we get into a state of flow and we’re hyper focused on our goals, sometimes the “how” disappears in the journey, or process (and this is ultimately the goal, since it’s not our job to known the “how”).
The truth is, though, that she DID do something different. She was able to step into a new level of success due to a variety of things, but they all came back down to one thing.
And this is ultimately the most powerful advice I can give you on your money journey.
She was willing to see things differently
We all get caught up in our daily lives. The patterns we run. The habits we have. Sometimes autopilot takes over and we become a bit unconscious in the process.
And, if you have great habits and daily activities, this is actually a really awesome thing (hint: this is why having a morning routine and a set of activities you do daily is so important -- we want any unconscious behavior to HELP us grow, not hinder us)
But when I look at my life, and my growth, the biggest tool in my tool belt that has allowed me to grow and expand has been the willingness to see things differently.
Because the world is created by our perceptions. Said differently: Our external world is a reflection of our internal world.
And so, the question is -- are you willing to see things differently?
Here’s a recent personal example that might help paint a picture:
I’ve recently been rubbing up against some of my own limiting beliefs around how much I get to spend on a monthly basis.
I run a full team, and my monthly fixed expenses are typically around $15k/mo. Now, coming from a guy who used to only MAKE $10k/mo, this feels like a big fucking deal.
In this new level of spending (which, by the way, I all consider investments, and separately I did work on to make sure these were heart-centered spends and not ego-centered spends) my brain / ego recently has been going NUTS.
I’ve been feeling massive anxiety, fear, worry -- you name it. I start to rationalize and my brain quietly slips back into my old way of thinking, where spending less was “more responsible”
But here’s what I did differently this time. I allowed myself to see this situation differently
Instead of thinking that I’m fucking it up, what if this new level of spend is my next level of abundance? What if my additional investments in a social media team, new apartment, etc. -- are propelling me to monetize my online courses and coaching in a more emboldened way?
What if this situation is working out in the best fucking possible way?
That’s fucking magic. That feels high vibe. That makes me feel expansive AF.
And I encourage you in the same way.
