Is Your Family’s Money Legacy Keeping You From Growing Your Biz?
© 2006 - 2009 Kendall SummerHawk
When it comes to family you inherited more than just your looks, height or hair color. You also inherited beliefs and values about money that have been handed down for generations.
Which is great if your family’s money history was free from turmoil, secrecy or difficulties.
Unfortunately, what’s more likely true is that the money habits and mindset you inherited are keeping you from realizing your value and preventing you from charging what you’re worth, standing in your power with clear money boundaries, raising your fees and more.
Good news is, the opportunity to heal your money legacy is right at your fingertips. And, once you do so, you’ll see an immediate surge of new opportunities, growth and cash flow in your business.
To help you re-invent your money legacy, here are 3 money and soul tips I’ve personally used to help me go from frustrating 5-figures to now running a multi-million dollar coaching business.
Tip #1 Give Yourself Permission To Make More Than Anyone In Your Family
Even though it’s natural for our parents to want us to do well, it’s common to have received unspoken messages that it’s somehow “not okay” to make more than them.
I recommend identifying the one person in your immediate family you’re most concerned about regarding this issue. You can hold your own private “blessing ceremony” where you ask for their blessing to exceed your past income. Allow yourself to let go of past notions of unworthiness so that you can let in feelings of deserving grace and good fortune.
Tip #2 Girls Want More Than Just To Have Fun — They Want To Be Paid What They’re Worth!
Society often has lower expectations of success for women versus men. When I was growing up, my dad didn’t expect me to be successful, or to even have a career! He would have been perfectly happy if I were only a wife and mom. Luckily, my mom was very successful as a solo-preneur, providing me with an example for success that I could model.
Choose someone you can model who is successful and who embodies the values and lifestyle you admire and appreciate. Ask yourself, “What does SHE believe about money and creating success?” so you can adopt some of those winning beliefs for yourself.
Tip #3 Accept Your Role As A Leader And Healer Of Money
This is a little woo-woo so stick with me here…If you have the desire to make more than spirit has singled you out as the leader and healer of money within your family legacy. Think of it this way: there is NO way you would have the desire to make more if you weren’t also meant to step into this special, leadership role.
Your Business — And The Money You Create — Is Your New Family Legacy And A Vital Piece Of Your Spiritual Path
Every generation is meant to get stronger, healthier, smarter and yes, more successful. So, give yourself permission to be paid what you’re worth. Your family’s history is theirs, not yours. It’s time you write your OWN history so you can move past where you are now and into a new level of income.
