Let's Start by Looking at 4 Core Truths
You Are a Powerhouse of Potential
Each of us is a vast reservoir of energy, a natural powerhouse brimming with potential and abundance. By recognizing our intrinsic divinity and aligning with the energy of abundance, we can reclaim our power and live authentically enriched lives.
You Are Divine
At the core of our being lies an eternal, divine essence—a source of limitless energy and potential. This inherent divinity empowers us to co-create our reality and manifest our desires. By acknowledging and embracing our divine nature, we reclaim our power and align with the abundance that is our birthright.
Money is a Manifestation of Your Infinite Abundance
Money, (often viewed through a lens of scarcity), is fundamentally energy - a neutral medium of exchange - aligned with your intentions. When you connect with your inner abundance, you naturally attract the financial prosperity that supports your journey and opens you to new possibilities.
You Being You is the Key to Abundance
Living authentically, (in harmony with our true selves), is the gateway to abundance. When we express our unique gifts and passions, we resonate with the frequency of abundance, attracting opportunities and resources that support our journey. Authenticity is a powerful magnet, drawing abundance into our lives with ease and grace.
One of the reasons I wanted to compile this article was for people in business (like myself) who would rather just be of service and not worry about money and how we can have a more healthy relationship with the flow of money and how that might look for us because a common experience among many gifted and compassionate individuals with a strong desire to serve is the struggle with the idea of monetizing their services or creations. This can stem from a misalignment with their own self-worth or a belief system that associates money with negativity or materialism.
Many kind souls find immense joy in helping others and may prioritize service over financial gain, viewing their work as a calling rather than a business. However, this perspective can lead to an undervaluation of their offerings and financial challenges.
The journey to find a harmonious balance often involves learning that money, in itself, is not inherently evil but a neutral energy that can be used for good - it’s a means of exchange that allows us to sustain our service and expand our impact - embracing the belief that we deserve to be compensated fairly for our gifts and efforts is part of understanding our own value.
It's a delicate art of doing business in a way that feels good to you, not necessarily the way other people do it or how others' think you should. This is something I've learned by exploring different experiences in charging and by giving away my services for free in various self-employed roles - a practical suggestion I offer to many so they can re-evaluate their relationship with money and review their services and price point to better align with their goals and inherent self-worth while being in service and being supported.
I enjoy incorporating both ways of being in service: having some paid work and some unpaid work so that I can reach as many people who need me while also valuing my work and unique set of skills.
By aligning with this understanding and exploring our options with an open mind, we can continue to serve others while also ensuring our own well-being and sustainability. It’s a lesson in self-worth, recognizing that abundance can coexist with altruism, and that valuing our contributions enriches both our lives and the lives of those we touch.
Charging for your work does not diminish its spiritual value; instead, it reinforces the understanding that energy must flow and be valued. Offering some services for free can be a beautiful act of service, while charging ensures sustainability and honors your worth.
"What stories have you been told about money and abundance that shape the way you live and/or do business?"
It's important to look at some relatable scenarios to see just how common 'scarcity mindset' is in business. It is something I have come across with every single person I've ever worked with.
5 Scenarios Where Doubt and Scarcity May Arise in Business
Creative Professionals and the Myth of the 'Starving Artist': Artists, writers, and musicians often face societal stereotypes that equate their passions with financial instability. The perceived instability can lead to self-doubt and a scarcity mindset, despite their immense talent. Remember, countless creatives have successfully turned their passions into prosperous careers, and you are not alone in this journey. (People can monetise anything these days! I am blown away by how people make money doing hamster videos, traveling around the world and just living a normal life and filming it!)
Entrepreneurs Facing Financial Hurdles: Starting a business involves risks, and the early stages can be financially challenging. Entrepreneurs may worry about securing funding or generating enough revenue, leading to feelings of lack. It’s important to remember that nearly every successful business owner has faced similar struggles, and perseverance often leads to breakthroughs. (By using the key components of abundance like authenticity, you are much more likely to align with support that feels good and is easy, you just need to be open to it + trust diving timing... it is always perfect).
Professionals in Competitive Fields: In fields where competition is fierce, such as tech, academia, or law, individuals may feel pressured to constantly prove their worth. This can lead to a scarcity mindset, fearing there's not enough success or recognition to go around. Know that your unique skills and perspectives are valuable and that collaboration often enhances abundance. (It's important to know that your worth is not in the value that someone else places on you, but the value you place on yourself whether others see you or not - operating from a place of soul passion and authenticity will bring you the greatest success).
Freelancers Experiencing Inconsistent Work: Freelancers or gig workers often encounter fluctuating workloads, which can create anxiety about financial stability. During slower periods, it’s common to feel stuck in a scarcity mindset. Many freelancers have navigated these ebbs and flows successfully, often finding that consistency increases with time and effort. (As a self-employed person for many years I found what kept my mind in creative and abundant mode was having a regular paid job - once my personal work increased and became consistent I could move into self-employment full-time comfortably... trusting in the time it took).
Talented Individuals Impacted by Imposter Syndrome: High achievers often grapple with imposter syndrome, doubting their abilities and feeling undeserving of their success. This can lead to undervaluing their work and internalizing a sense of lack. Remember that even the most accomplished individuals experience these feelings, and your talents are indeed worthy of recognition and reward. (It is important to still pursue your passions for as long as you are passionate about them even if there is no reward or recognition in the present moment - sometimes that comes later but it doesn't need to drive your motivation to succeed).
In all these scenarios, it's vital to recognize that the scarcity mindset is an illusion that can be overcome. By connecting with supportive communities, seeking mentorship, and cultivating self-awareness, talented individuals can shift their mindset towards abundance and realize their full potential. You are not alone in these challenges, and many have walked this path before you, emerging stronger and more resilient.
Exploring the Illusion of Lack: The scarcity mindset—a most curious phenomenon woven into the fabric of human experience...
At its core, the scarcity mindset arises from the stories we tell ourselves, often shaped by cultural narratives, upbringing, and the ever-present societal pressures. From a young age, many are taught to see resources as finite and competition as essential. The seeds of limitation are sown in the fertile soil of our minds, nurtured by tales of lack and reinforced by the false collective belief that there is 'never enough' to go around. These narratives, passed down through generations, have etched a pattern of fear and restriction, creating a lens through which we perceive the world.
Imagine growing up in a society where success is measured by accumulation and worth is defined by possession. The pressure to conform to such standards can be immense, often leading individuals to internalize beliefs of inadequacy and scarcity. The societal drumbeat of 'more, more, more' can drown out the whispers of our true nature, which knows abundance as our birthright. Yet, as we begin to recognize these influences, we have the power to rewrite the script. By unraveling these deeply ingrained beliefs, we can shift our perspective from limitation to limitless possibility, embracing the boundless potential that resides within.
Recognize yourself as a powerhouse of energy, capable of manifesting your dreams and desires. Embrace your talents and gifts, and use them to create a life of abundance and fulfillment. Understanding your value and charging appropriately for your offerings, whether healing or art, reflects an acknowledgment of the energy and effort you put into your work. It is an energetic exchange that honors both the giver and the receiver.
