Top 5 limiting beliefs that may be holding you back…

April 28, 2017 by Lamisha

When it comes to our mind habits and limiting beliefs, there’s likely not a belief I haven’t seen or heard at this point. In fact, there are quite a few that I hear over and over again and today I’m sharing them with you.

To be honest, many of these I’ve struggled with a lot over the years so I completely understand how difficult it can be to shift them…but it IS POSSIBLE. I’m living proof and so are my clients.

Top 5 Limiting Beliefs (that may be holding you back)

I’m not enough. This is your run of the mill belief that can stop any new venture, decision, opportunity, or potential success in its tracks. It’s likely the one I hear the absolute most from people (many women in particular) and it runs DEEP. The not enough-ness many times has no basis other than feeling like you aren’t good enough, smart enough, ready enough, strong enough, prepared enough, thin enough, rich enough…you name it. It’s also the belief that keeps people playing small and ultimately paralyzed by fear of failure.

I’m not worthy. This one runs a close second to the one above. Somehow, somewhere along the lines many of us have internalized the message that we aren’t worthy of amazing things happening to us and for us. We often believe that somehow we are ultimately flawed and thereby don’t deserve the riches, success, joy, love, excitement, adventure, ease, and flow that we desire. And if by chance we allow a little bit of that into our lives…we feel guilty and shut that shit down, because who are WE to have all the good stuff?

It has to be hard. Likely drilled into us from past generations, far too many of us struggle with the belief that anything worth doing has to be hard and if it comes easily, it’s just not worth it. Easy feels like cheating. Hard is where you prove to yourself just how strong, powerful, and worthy you are because isn’t that what life is all about? (Spoiler alert: No, it’s not. Life is meant to be enjoyed.). Yes, there are times on your path that may feel difficult, but that’s not the way it always has to be.

It’s not meant for me. When it comes to success, love, money, and happiness, many people believe that they are somehow different from the next guy. Sure they can have the success, adventure, and ultimately happy life, but it’s just not in the cards for me. I’m meant to suffer. (Wrong!) This belief causes us to believe that somehow we are so different in who we are that the miracles and magic of the world are set aside for a select few and we just aren’t a part of that crowd.

You can’t have it all. This belief has been one of my biggest struggles by far. For a long time I believed that “having it all” was a myth. I thought that if you had the riches and success, you couldn’t have true love. If you had a happy, humble home life, you couldn’t also have the powerful career and money. You had to simply choose what is most important and allow that to be the “good” you allow into your life. The truth is that is total BS. You can have it all, the moment you nip this gnarly belief in the bud.

And let’s not even talk about the Money Beliefs we carry with us…actually, let’s talk about them for a moment!

Money is such a funny topic (not funny-haha, but funny as in weird) for people.

Whether you realize it or not, you likely are carrying some really heavy money-related junk with you from your parents, grandparents, and family. We all have some money stuff (or had it at some point in our lives) and it has a direct effect on how we view, manage, receive, manifest, earn, and handle money today.

Here are a few common ones that you might resonate with…

“Money is hard to make.”
“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
“No matter what I do, there’s never enough.”
“Rich people are jerks, selfish, and self-serving.”
“I don’t have enough.”
“Money isn’t important.”
“Money is the root of all evil.”
“To make a lot of money you have to sacrifice other things.”
“I’ll never be rich.”

Do any of these resonate for you? (If so, I’d love to hear which ones, hit ‘reply’ and share a few that you carry around with you.)

If some of these resonate for you, I’d like you do a little experiment. Take a look at your financial picture for a moment and notice what you see. Are the numbers where you want them to be or do you find that you typically hover around a certain number?

Maybe you are like I was…struggling to make it from paycheck to paycheck or always feeling stress when it comes to money. That was my reality for a very long time, until I started learning about my money mindset and changing the thoughts I was practicing within my mind.

The way you feel about money (and anything else) directly affects how money (or anything else) shows up for you in your life.

YOU have the ultimate creative power over your life when you accept that your mindset is what helped you to create where you are. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s just where you are now. The key is deciding what you are going to do about it.

All of the beliefs I’ve listed above are things that have impacted my life and it was only when I was willing to do the work (the mindset work that is) to clear them out and began building positive habits in their place was I able to see the changes happening in my life.

Mindset work isn’t “magic”, but it sure feels that way once you begin. You’ll ask yourself why you ever waited.

I don’t want you to wait anymore.
I don’t want you to struggle anymore.
And I certainly don’t want you to have regrets about not getting support when you needed it most.

So…if any or all of the beliefs above resonate for you then the Miracle Mindset Immersion Program is absolutely the program for you.
You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Mindset is everything, even when it comes to money

August 29, 2016 by Lamisha

Happy Monday!!!

Let’s just call today Money Monday shall we?

It’s been awhile since I last posted because I’ve been totally blown away by the magic that is happening inside the Free Money Mindset Masterclass that I ran last Thursday! (If you don’t know what I’m talking about and you’d like to check out the replay, join us here. )

That 90 minute call is total GOLD (if I do say so myself). There were so many amazing insights that were happening for the participants on the call and I couldn’t be more happy about the shifts that have occurred afterwards. I keep seeing messages about how the way everyone is thinking about money has completely shifted and they now KNOW that they can create more abundance in their lives.

But, that’s not the best part. The best part is when I received the email from a participant not even 24 hours AFTER the call saying she had 4 potential clients reach out to her seemingly out of the blue. I wish I could say I don’t believe it, but I totally do.

These are the kinds of miracles that happen when you shift your mindset around money. Remember, mindset is everything when it comes to anything so why would money be any different? It’s not!

Want a quick way to check in with how your money mindset is? Do these three things.

Check in with yourself and see how you FEEL about money.
Look at your bank account balances (checking, savings, retirement etc.)
Take a look at your total debt balance

Now, if when you check in with yourself and you feel anxious, worried, stressed, overwhelmed, fearful etc., then I HIGHLY recommend you check out the Masterclass. However, if things feel good and money is flowing to you in buckets, keep doing what you’re doing unless…your debts are high and you are avoiding looking at things. That’s a sign there is some mindset work to be done as well.

Another great way to check in to see where your money mindset is, is to finish the sentence below and see what comes up.

“Money is….”

If you came up with words like…

Scarce
Evil
Not enough
Annoying
Stupid
A pain in my ass (or something similar)

Then, you may want to check out the Money Mindset Masterclass.

I’ll be honest, I’ve been having so much fun in that group answering questions and helping the participants get clear about their money beliefs that I didn’t want it to stop there (and honestly neither did they). So, I’m taking this work a bit deeper for those who are interested in joining us!

Starting September 5th we will be embarking on an experiential journey into your Money Mindset to create a higher vibration and knock out the money-limiting beliefs that have had you stuck for far too long. It’s going to be a full 21-days of insights, releasing, high vibrating, magic and wonder and you will experience some truly amazing miracles.

Do YOU have a Money Mind???

I am so excited to spill the beans about this FREE event I’ve been cooking up for you.

As you may know, we just wrapped up the latest round of the Miracle Mindset Immersion Program and I have mindset on the brain big time right now!

In fact, as we were finishing the final few weeks of the program, I realized one thing that holds SO many people back from living the life they desire (and to be honest, it held me back for WAY too long) is something I haven’t ever really talked about.

It’s been such a huge part of my journey and yet, I’ve been pretty hush-hush about it until now. To be honest, I suspect it’s because I have my own blocks around talking about it openly, even though it is something I work with about 90% of my clients on in some way.

What is it???

$$ MONEY $$

Now, just looking at the word can be enough to give people anxiety and stress. Money is a word that brings up a multitude of emotions depending on your current relationship with it right?

Do me a favor right now and check in with your own emotions. When you think about money, what do you feel?

Excited?
Anxious?
Worried?
Curious?
Scared?
Terrified?

I’ve felt all of those emotions and then some! In fact, for most of my life I struggled to even think about money in any positive way.

To be honest, I didn’t like it, didn’t trust it, I never had enough, and I thought that’s the way it was always going to be. In my mind it was just a fact of life.

I grew up to believe that money was hard to make, difficult to keep, and believed that if I got a ‘good job’ and worked really hard, I might eventually get ahead, but it wasn’t likely.

Talk about a shitty money mindset! (It’s no wonder I always lived paycheck-to-paycheck and had a mountain of debt no matter how much money I made.)

Turns out, I was actually CREATING the lack in my life by what I thought. Back then, I had no idea what mindset work was and never once considered that I had any control over the situation. Other than working multiple jobs (which I did for many years) of course.

I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

I wanted more money, but didn’t know how to make it happen.
I craved more adventure, but didn’t have the money to make it happen.
I hated my job, but felt bound by the pittance I was receiving because…hey a girl’s gotta eat!

It wasn’t until I began to really embrace this whole professional development work that I learned I had more control than I realized and it all started with what I THOUGHT.

My money journey has evolved over the years and each year I up-level my belief system around money, my income increases.

I’ve gone from working multiple jobs to (barely) make ends meet, to working in my own business (doing what I love) and doubling my income in the last year.

I’ll be completely honest, I’m not nearly where I’d like to be, but I’m a hell of a lot better off than I was before and it’s all because I up-leveled my money mindset.

Mindset is everything when it comes to anything, money included.

Money mindset in particular tends to take mindset work to an entire new level. We tend to have so many stories, truths, beliefs, and blocks weaved into our money experiences that it often requires special focus. To be honest, it’s why I decided to put together a special FREE Money Mindset Masterclass for YOU.

I know what it’s like to feel limited by your bank balance and to feel completely stuck in creating the life experience you desire and DESERVE.

So, if you could use a Money Mindset adjustment to bring in more cash and open yourself to more abundance in your life, mark your calendar for this THURSDAY August 25th @ 8pm EST.

This Thursday I’ll be hosting a FREE Money Mindset Masterclass to help you shift your beliefs and stories around money so you can increase the flow of abundance into your life.

In this masterclass I’ll be sharing with you:

The simple TRUTH about MONEY that will change everything for you
The single most POWERFUL belief that will transform your money mindset (and bring you more cash)
My all time favorite TOOL for clearing out your old limiting beliefs around money & creating new ones that foster amazing wealth
PLUS an amazing exercise that has helped many of my clients attract unexpected income within days!!!

Mindset work isn’t magic, but it will certainly FEEL that way once we start shifting beliefs.

Join me on Thursday August 25th at 8pm EST for this fabulously enlightening masterclass that will change how you THINK & ATTRACT money forever.

And I’m doing this Masterclass a bit different. Instead of doing the typical webinar style class, I’ll be hosting this masterclass in our very own private Facebook Group. I’ll be going LIVE at 8pm EST on Thursday and I’ll be available to answer all of your questions & give you a bit of coaching leading up to the event.

Want in? Join the group HERE.

It’s FREE and is guaranteed to shift how you THINK & ATTRACT money now and forever more, why wouldn’t you want in?

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

July 7, 2015 by Lamisha

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.

If shifting your mindset around money is something you feel called to do, I encourage you to check her out. (Full-disclosure: I am an affiliate for Denise’s program only because I 100% believe in what she is doing and I am a part of her amazing community. So, any purchases you make through the links I share with you will result in me being compensated. )

And if this is the first time you have ever heard about Denise, she is hosting a FREE webinar tonight at 7pm EST to discuss Mindset Shifts You Need to Create Passive Income. It’s free and if you can’t make it live, sign-up using the link so you will get the recording.

This group is full of amazing women like YOU who are looking to create an open, airy, love-filled life of their dreams. You will be in amazing company. 😉

My word is FREEDOM…What’s yours? (Plus a free invitation for YOU.)

July 1, 2015 by Lamisha

It feels like forever since my last post and that’s because I’ve been on vacation and piecing together my next steps. The good news is I am back and I have a lot of GREAT things up my sleeve for you. But, before I share all of that with you (soon I promise), I want to share some of my most recent realizations.

All this traveling I’ve been able to do this year so far, I realized I have had a theme bubbling up my entire life and it is exactly the kind of life I want to create.

That theme is FREEDOM.

Many (many) moons ago, I wouldn’t have known what it was because I was dealing with so much turmoil and strife, but today I can honestly look at my life as a whole and say what I truly desire is freedom in ALL forms.

I want to experience freedom in love (thank you SCOTUS for making that possible in all 50 states in the US finally).

I want to experience freedom in my finances (thank you Denise Duffield-Thomas for helping me clear my blocks to be open to more abundance.)

I want to experience freedom in my time and how I choose to spend my time on a daily basis (thanks boss-aka me!).

And I am finally embracing the fact that I want to experience freedom in what I create and share with YOU.

You see over the years, I’ve tried to make all of my desires fit nicely into little square boxes even though the contents were hanging out in odd (and fun) shapes and sizes. I realized this weekend that the only thing clean, tidy, square boxes are good for are moving- you know when you have to pack a moving truck and feel like you are playing Tetris to make everything fit.

I don’t fit into one clean and tidy box and I bet you don’t either.

I’m a bit messy and oddly-shaped at times, but it’s what makes me unique. What I desire today may change form in a few months, but that’s the true beauty of evolution and growth isn’t it?

Your desires, wishes, and dreams are as diverse as your experiences in this life and I want you to know it’s OKAY to have all those (sometimes conflicting) desires because in the end it’s all a part of YOU.

You will at times drop the things that are no longer serving you. You will de-clutter your dreams, desires, and wishes and peel back the layers to reveal what is really important to you right here and right now. And despite what gets left on the editing room floor, life will feel amazing for you because in the end YOU get to choose what stays and what goes.

My biggest realization over the last 2 weeks is the freedom that I not only desire and am now totally embracing, but also the freedom I help my clients attain.

And let’s be clear, freedom means something different to everyone. For me it might be about time and money and for someone else it might be entirely about their career. But, what I want YOU (and every other woman walking this planet) to know is that YOU have the FREEDOM to choose the life you live. You have the FREEDOM to break free from whatever has you stuck and to choose differently. But most of all you have the FREEDOM to decide the kind of life you live and experience while you are in this blessed body of yours.

And I want to help you get to that FREEDOM, whatever it means to you because I know that you have an amazing life to live and it’s time to make your dreams come alive starting NOW.

The Facebook Tribe I created a few months ago is under construction and with it comes a new name (TBA) and lots of awesome tools, tips, and challenges to help empower YOU to live that amazing life you want…right now. And instead of waiting for all the new pieces to be in place, I’m inviting you to join us today, before everything is perfect and the new name is revealed.

In this group you will get access to free information, special offers, free coaching threads, inspiration, and lots of additional life-changing information that will empower you in truly beautiful ways. This is phase 1 of the amazing new things to come, so hop on over and be one of the first people to know about what else is coming down the pipe.
