Your mindset of abundance - Why it's so important in business

So, besides going ALL IN with new fashion blog from last month, I made it a point to work on my money mindset and beliefs throughout the month with the help of a life coach through Skype calls, reading books like "Think and Grow Rich", watching educational Youtube videos, and just doing a lot of self-reflection and journalling.

I'm also getting my coaching certification at the moment, and what I've learnt from coaching, is that CHANGE can happen in a second, like the flip of a switch. And I've seen this happen in my own life through several shifts in my life.

I've always thought that I had some mental/emotional blocks with regards to money and abundance in my life. I've always been a great student and learner, but when it came to my career, I was stuck in terms of earning. Especially over the past few years, I felt that I had reached an income ceiling in my career and often felt stuck. It wasn't until going through this affiliate journey and coaching, that I finally got to work on these blocks.

As a result of my learnings this past month, I've come to realize several AHA moments that I experienced, and it has enhanced my journey in my business for sure. I'd thought that I'd share it here with you:

1) 1st AHA moment:

After watching this video with Marie Forleo and Kate Northrup.

One of the money beliefs that she mentioned was that money is not my responsibility.

After I heard that, I knew that this was secretly what I believed for myself, that someone would come and take financial responsibility for me, so that meant that I didn't care 2 hoots about money. (I did care, but in a fear-based way).

Also, I was afraid of my bank account, I secretly feared looking at my bank balance, because I thought it was very low and I was constantly broke - when in actual fact, I'm really not. But I had associated shame & guilt towards my money, which in essence was blocking more money and abundance from coming my way.

She talks about a good tip that resonated with me: How to associate good feelings with your bank account. This made a lot of sense to me, because it seemed like the same principles as the Law of Attraction, which I also have done a lot of reading about. Take a good listen to the video, and see what advice you can take from it! It's short, but very insightful.

2) 2nd AHA moment:

During one of my Skype coaching calls, I came to realization that I had another disempowering belief against my goals for my blog - that I didn't believe that it could happen! I believed that if my goal were to actually come true, it was TOO GOOD to be true, and thus I was blocking myself from even getting there!

I was really surprised when all these disempowering statements came out of my mouth, but I was very glad that I went there. Let's just say that, once we managed to uncover that limiting belief, I was able to replace with a much more empowering one!

3) 3rd AHA moment:

Through reading these books like "The Code of the Extraordinary Mind" by Vishen Lakhiani , but still getting frustrated about my slow progress, I started journalling about the work I had put in so far.

While I was journalling, I came to an understanding that I was attaching my happiness to an end goal, versus being happy & abundant in the present. And while I was doing that, I wasn't able to attract more abundance to myself, as I was always in 'lack'. Once I realized that, and made that mindset shift to feel happy & abundant in the now with my current state, something clicked. I can't explain it, but I woke up the next day and I felt like I cracked the code. I was infinitely happier and feeling more abundant already, and I could start seeing signs where money started flowing in for my clients and also for myself in different ways, where they were previously stuck - I got job offers, work offers and other ways to make money dropped into my lap. Is it the Secret, the Law of Attraction or something else...? I don't know, but I can tell you it's working because I feel it in my body.

Yes I know, it does sound WOO-WOO, and most people wouldn't understand or believe that any of these concepts work in real life. But mindset shifts are unquantifiable really, aren't they?

I'm a huge fan of personal development and personal growth, so I just wanted to share this with other people, if it could help them in one or another. Let me know in the comments :)
