Today’s women in business have more opportunities to succeed financially than ever before IF we allow ourselves to prosper and thrive. Your financial successes are closely related to how well you understand your prosperity mindset.
A prosperity mindset begins with understanding prosperity consciousness. Your values and beliefs about your ability to make, enjoy and handle money is a vital element to how successfully you will allow yourself to prosper financially. Do you truly understand your prosperity mindset? Here is a short quiz:
On a scale of 1 – 10 with 10 being “I absolutely agree,” rate the following sentences.
1. I believe I can be wealthy and still remain the same likeable person I am today.
2. I have complete confidence that I can handle large sums of money in a competent manner.
3. If I became incredibly wealthy tomorrow, my friends will still like me for me and not just because I am wealthy.
4. Money is not a burden.
5. I handle money joyfully and responsibly.
How did you do on this unscientific quiz? Did answering the questions give you an insight into your prosperity mindset?
Here is a success truth: If you do not believe you are worthy and deserving of prospering and thriving financially, you will unconsciously place a financial ceiling on your present and future earning potential.
A prosperity mindset is one that fosters the unconscious belief that you are worthy and deserving of enjoying financial success. In other words, you are giving yourself permission to succeed and thrive professionally.
As a coach, I see so many talented and competent businesswomen limiting themselves with “poverty consciousness.” I've seen women settling for less than they are worth, not asking for the raise they deserve or giving away their time and energy because they don’t believe it has value. Suze Orman in her book Women and Money made the declaration that it is time women take themselves off the “sale rack.”
Now is the time we women in business respect and appreciate our moneymaking abilities. Ask yourself what you are willing to do to develop the power of your prosperity mindset. Are you willing to read financial books, seek out advice from professionals, go to seminars and take classes?
