How to Own Your Worth Before the Start of 2024
If you could make your ideal income, have abundance for your family, and still get to do all the things you love to do, how great would that be?
The problem is (and I’ve talked to other coaches about this, too) for some reason, we women tend to have this fixed mindset that if we make more money, we have to sacrifice our time with our family or other things we love.
That’s why I’ve made it my goal to help you raise your money mindset before 2024. Why? Because adopting positive beliefs around money and working to un-fix those fixed mindsets helps you to set better goals for your year.
Giving Purpose to Money
Money is just energy. So think about that energy; energy can light a city up, or in the form of a lightning bolt, burn it down. So we have to think about money the same way.
A lot of women have this fixed mindset that money is bad, or evil. But the reality is that you decide what energy money has for you. The first thing I want you to do is get centered in your body and imagine having your ideal income. What would you do with it?
It’s up to you to decide whether you use money for good or bad. You are in control. So as you imagine making your ideal income, write down 3 things you would do with that money. This gives your ideal income a positive purpose.
Breaking Your Ceiling
When I did the second step of this exercise at our last Vixen Mastermind, a few of the women in the room gasped out loud. It made them realize that they weren’t valuing their time correctly. Half of that room went back to increase their prices immediately.
One of them even went back to a client they had already quoted, raised their prices, and successfully got paid the higher amount.
So here’s a simplified version of the Breaking Your Ceiling exercise:
Grab a piece of paper and something to write with; this exercise is meant to tie into your emotions, and physically writing this down is the best way to get in touch.
- Write down what your total income was for last year.
- Write down your income goal for this year.
- Write down your income goal for 3 years from now. Don’t think too hard on this one, write down whatever comes to mind.
- Now write down the most amount of money you think you can make in a year. Again, don’t think too hard on this number; let your intuition guide you.
- Last, I want you to take that number from step 4, and multiply it by 10. Write it down.
Now… this exercise alone is very eye opening and I’m sure you have already noticed some of your self-imposed limitations.
And here’s where having someone guide you comes in REALLY handy but let’s try to take it to the next level:
Let’s take a look at that last number. Really sit with it. How does it feel? Where do you feel that in your body? Maybe you feel excited, or maybe your chest feels tight.
Whatever you’re feeling, take note of it. If it’s negative, that’s okay; it’s just a space where you can grow. If it’s positive, write that down, too, so we can reinforce those thoughts and feelings.
After you write that down, go back to that 10x number. Imagine yourself making that; what would you do with that money? How would you live differently?
If you’re anything like the dozens of women I’ve led through this exercise, you’re likely experiencing how thinking about money makes you FEEL.
And while this exercise alone is responsible for kickstarting change in many women, there’s still more to do.
Your next step is to Raise Your Money Mindset. One thing is to identify where you, your mind, your beliefs, and your emotions are keeping you, and another, completely different one is to now change them to get to where you want to be.
That’s exactly what my Vixen Money Mindset worksheet helps you accomplish!
