Heal. Transform. Thrive.

In over 10 years as a mindset coach and EFT practitioner, I’ve seen it more times than I can count. Smart, talented, creative, hard-working people who simply cannot achieve their financial goals no matter how hard they try.

What do all of these people have in common? You guessed it: Limiting beliefs. And not just limiting beliefs about money. As you’ll see from the list below, all kinds of limiting beliefs hold people back financially. Below are the ones I’ve seen the most frequently over the years.

HOW TO GET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS ARTICLE

To make sure that limiting beliefs aren’t squelching your earning power, take 5 minutes to read through these beliefs, and identify the ones that resonate with you. Identifying the limiting beliefs that are holding you back is the first step to overcoming them.

This simple exercise could literally change your life, so give yourself this time. You deserve it!

You may notice that even though you don’t agree with a particular belief, it resonates with you emotionally. If that happens, that’s an indication that the belief is your emotional truth, and as such, it can and will have a detrimental effect on your earning potential.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that ANY limiting belief can be released if you have the right tools. In my experience, EFT tapping is by far the most effective way to release beliefs.
 

HOW TO DETERMINE IF A BELIEF IS TRUE FOR YOU

 

The best way to determine if you have the belief is to ask yourself the following question:

  “On a scale of 0 to 10, how true does this statement FEEL to me?” 

 

If the answer is anything other than 0, you believe the statement to some extent, and if you believe it, it is affecting you. 

 

This belief testing method works well because it bypasses the conscious mind, allowing you to see whether you believe a statement which you might consciously disagree with, or feel certain doesn't apply to you.
