3 Things I No Longer Believe About Money Thanks to Denise Duffield-Thomas

Money-Bootcamp-Secret

Money is always a funny topic to talk about and for so many people it’s wiggle in their seat uncomfortable.

I used to feel the same way before I had done any mindset work around the topic.

In fact, for a long time my relationship with money was…well tumultuous.

I had a love/hate relationship with it.

Never really knowing what it felt like to always have more than enough, I was anxious at the thought of money for anything.  Spending it, making it, asking for raises, and dealing with debt made me cringe.  I thought having just enough to get by was a good thing and never dreamed that one day I would be an entrepreneur who’s only income was based on my gifts and talents.

(GASP)

Parts of me believed money was always hard to get and keep.  Growing up in a single parent household, money was tight most of the time and I learned never to ask for much more than what I actually needed because I didn’t want to add to the stress and anxiety of making ends meet.

As soon as I was old enough to work, I got multiple jobs because I thought that is what I had to do to survive and contribute in the world.

What I didn’t realize is that it was all in my head and that my thoughts were creating my reality.

Since then, I’ve made some big shifts to my mindset to really dig in and change my relationship with money and one of the BIGGEST things I have done is make an investment in myself by way of Denise Duffield-Thomas and her Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.

In the last year I have learned SO much about my money mindset and how to shift it and it’s changed everything for me.

Thanks to Denise the top 3 things I no longer believe about money are:

1.  Money is a limited supply and if I have more, you get less.  I used to live with the atrocious belief that if I have more it means you get less or vice versa.  I thought that somewhere there was a big vat of money that was in circulation and if I had more than my ‘fair’ share, then someone else had to have less because….math.  But what I have learned is that not only is there MORE than enough to go around, I have the ability and control to manifest as much or as little as I want…when my mindset is in the right place.

2.  Money is hard.  From the time I started working, I thought I had to work long hours and several jobs to make enough money to live.  I pushed hard and at one point was working 3 jobs just to have a bit of extra spending money.  It wasn’t fun and no matter how many hours I worked or how much overtime I volunteered for, it seemed like I could never get ahead.  After working through the bootcamp (and soon moving through it a second time), I found that money didn’t have to be hard.  That with the right mindset and focus, money could flow to me with ease and grace and it does on a regular basis.

3.  You can’t do what you love AND make a boatload of cash.  When I graduated college I didn’t know anyone who was doing what they loved and making money doing it.  Honestly everyone I knew (adults included) was working in a job they didn’t necessarily hate (though some totally did) to make ends meet.  They chose the path of least resistance so they could work, live, and save for retirement when they were finally ready to live a life they loved.  I followed suit until my passion became louder than my logic and I decided to follow my heart.  Starting my business I still had no idea how I would make enough money to replace a full-time income, but what Denise showed me is that it is not only possible, but 100% probable when your mindset is in the right place. (Do you see a theme here?)

Now, I’ve taken what I have learned over the years about money and mindset and I use it to help other women do the things they once thought were impossible.  And I openly and honestly share my journey because I want you to know that this didn’t happen overnight.  I made an investment in changing my relationship with money by investing in Denise’s Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.

It’s been a game changer for me as a woman, a mother, a wife, and an entrepreneur.  But the truth is you don’t have to be all of those things for this to help you.  The insight and support Denise provides in her program is unlike anything I’ve ever done and this month she is closing out the old program and will be releasing the new program at a new, higher rate.

My Money Story…

One of my favorite things to talk about with my clients and my tribe is money and how to manifest more.

It doesn’t come from some selfish, greedy obsession with money and all it can do, but instead comes from my desire to teach and share what I have learned in my own life.  So, today I’m sharing with you my money story.  The story of how I have managed to change my thoughts about money to not only manifest more abundance, but also to feel more free no matter how much money I have.

It’s been a journey and I am still working my way through it, but my hope is that by sharing my story with you, that it will help shift your mindset around money.

A little about my past…

I grew up in a single parent household with my siblings and a mother who worked non-stop and sometimes multiple jobs to just to make ends meet.  We had what we needed for the most part and didn’t go without for the most part, but it was a stretch and I was keenly aware of how tight money was.

When I was old enough to make my own money, I immediately got a job…well actually two.  I had seen my mom work hard and I thought that was just what you needed to do to make ends meet.  That belief followed me through college and into the corporate world where I got my first ‘real’ job.

I worked my day job and immediately picked up a second (and third) job on the side.  Seems crazy right?  Who needs 3 jobs when you are essentially living with hand me downs and have a roommate?

I’ll tell you who…a woman who had a lack mindset and who thought that in order to survive you had to work really, really hard.

It didn’t matter how much money I made, I always felt like it wasn’t enough and with that thought process it wasn’t.  I created situations (unknowingly) that would cause me to barely make ends meet no matter how much I was making.

I created my money reality based on my money story.  The story I told myself and that I learned growing up that making money was hard.

It wasn’t until I really began working on my mindset around money that I started to see the truth about money (and all things).  Money is just a form of energy and when we believe we are lacking in abundance and that ‘there’s never enough’, then we attract those situations that prove that to us.  The ‘never enoughness’ doesn’t go away.  We have to work at it.

And boy was I ready to work on it…or win $15 million dollars whichever came first.

In addition to studying the art of manifesting using the Law of Attraction (which I did very well with and manifested almost $5000 within a few weeks), I also stumbled upon various teachers that help with money mindset.

The one that changed everything for me was Denise Duffield-Thomas.  If you don’t know her, you need to!  She is a money mindset teacher, guru, and all around amazing women that teaches women how to shift the underlying money stuff we all have going on.

Don’t think you need a mindset shift around money?  We all have a money story, have you looked at yours lately?

Answer these for me.

Do you ever feel like there isn’t enough?

Feel jealous or frustrated because others have more than you?

Think rich people are ‘greedy’ or ‘selfish’?

Blame other people for your money stuff?

Are you not sure where your money goes each month and always feel like you are in the hole?

If you said yes to even one of the questions above, you could use a mindset shift.  And let’s be completely honest here…who couldn’t use a little (or a lot) extra money in their pocket?

Life is meant to be enjoyed and experienced and loved.  Money allows us to do just that and when you open your mind to how money can flow, clear the mindset blocks that are in the way, life is amazing.

What if you could manifest money in 24 hours or less?  You can with this awesome recording from Denise Duffield-Thomas.  This is the tool that got me hooked on Denise and set the stage for me to enroll in her Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp.  Seriously it’s a life (and money) changing experience that has been one of the biggest catalysts for change in how I think and feel about money.

(Disclaimer, I am an affiliate of Denise’s program and I assure you I only promote and share programs I truly believe in.)

And I can tell you from experience that when you make the investment in changing your life, you get back way more than you invested.

The number 1 biggest shift I have made that has shifted everything for me financially as been my mindset.  What I now know about money is this…

Money and abundance is everywhere.  It doesn’t require as much blood, sweat, and tears as we believe and it can come with ease and grace.  The moment we settle back, relax, trust, and take inspired action doing what we love and following our hearts, the easier it flows.  It’s a resource and we are ALL entitled to money, not just a few lucky people, but it is up to us to shift our mindsets in order to make room for the money.

So, I ask you…what are you willing to shift?
