The money belief that is quietly running your business (and where it came from)

Most of us did not learn about money in school. We learned about it at home. Around the kitchen table. Listening to our parents stress about bills. In the silence when we asked for something

and were told no.

Those early experiences became our money blueprint. The lens we see every financial decision through — often without even realizing it.

For me it was growing up in a house with five kids and one income. Always paycheck to paycheck. The messages I absorbed were things like money does not grow on trees, we cannot afford that, and that must be nice — said with just enough edge you knew it meant we will never have that.

I carried those messages into my business for years. I underpriced my services. Took on clients who treated me badly because I was too scared to turn away income. Answered calls nights and weekends because I was terrified the money would disappear if I was not constantly available.

I was not making bad business decisions. I was making scared ones.

Here is what I know after 30 years of working with business owners — your numbers are not just tracking your sales. They are reflecting your beliefs. What you charge, what you avoid, what you tolerate — it all connects back to what you believe you deserve.

A few questions worth sitting with this week:

📓 What is your earliest memory of money?

📓 What did the adults in your life model about money?

📓 Where do you see that old story showing up in your business today?

Just start noticing. You cannot change what you are not willing to see. 🌿💛
