Money MATTERS for Women: Your Beliefs Determine Your Wealth

By: Anita Bains, Emotional Freedom Technique Expert and Psychotherapist

The Law of Attraction is active all the time. You attract what you focus on. When you’re feeling poor you can’t attract abundance. Money is just another metaphor for power. You can develop a power-filled relationship with money, but first you have to release the limiting beliefs your family, peers and culture taught you when you were a child. These beliefs lie hidden out of your conscious awareness but they control your adult decisions.

Some of the more common beliefs that create lack instead of abundance are:

  • I can’t be successful in a bad economy.
  • I don’t deserve to have all the money I desire.
  • Money is the root of all evil.
  • I shouldn’t make more money than my parents.
  • Rich people are greedy and dishonest.
  • Change is scary.
  • I’ll never get out of debt.
  • It’s not right to talk about money outside the family.

Your relationship with money is based on these limiting childhood beliefs. With each passing year you continued to attract more of what you believed you deserved. Even the people in your life became a reflection of those limiting beliefs. As long as the inner child remains unhealed and bound by beliefs that hold you back, you will be an under earner.

How do you know if you’re an under earner? Common traits include (but are not limited to):

  • Giving away your services at your own expense
  • Difficulty asking for a raise or raising your fees
  • Blaming someone else for your financial situation
  • Finding ways to avoid dealing with money (bartering)
  • Being vague about how much you earn
  • Frequent financial distress
  • Lacking confidence in earning money
  • Continually putting others’ needs first
  • Being in debt with little savings
  • Being proud of making due with less
  • Sabotaging money making opportunities
  • Filling time with endless tasks
  • A family history of debt or under earning

If you have two or more of these traits, then you’re most likely earning less than your
potential.

Barbara Stanny, a leading authority on women and money shares Five Secrets to overcoming under earning:

#1 Tell the Truth.

#2 Make a decision to take action.

#3 Stretch and get out of your comfort zone.

#4 Create a supportive community of like minded people.

#5 Respect and appreciate money.

Healing your relationship with money is an empowering process that will change the way you are in the world. The inside job is about identifying and releasing beliefs that no longer serve you. The outside job is one of learning about money and finding reliable and trusted advisors to guide you.
