3 giant money myths that kept me stuck for years (and how to shift them)
Most people chase money.
Myself included.
But something I recently discovered... again 😅
Money doesn’t fix your life ... it amplifies your patterns.
I spent years buried in debt at 20, I was $500K in the hole...Making $8/hour as a server.
If you haven't heard my story I share the whole thing here (Click to watch me cry 😭)
I didn’t file bankruptcy.
I clawed my way out.
But... It took me nearly 20 years to discover the real lesson:
That developing money making skills is secondary to developing life-style skills.
Most entrepreneurs are focused on the money making:
Sales skills. Funnel building. Marketing hacks.
But they never optimize for how to live.
Lifestyle is a skill.
And it’s the foundation that makes wealth sustainable.
Example:
Tipping $20 instead of $10 might seem small.
But it’s a signal. a steeze. a style....
But mostly it represents an underlying belief ...
That you trust money to come back.
When I was 20 and stuck in debt my solution was:
“Just make more money.”
So I chased every tactic. Sales. Funnels. opportunity. Copy. Hustle.
And yes ... I made more.
But nothing really changed.
Because I was often still operating from an underlying fear, scarcity, and survival.
Despite earning more money I was not really...
Giving it differently.
Investing it differently.
Or spending it differently
Reason being is because of an underlying paradigm that was keeping me stuck.
Lies of the mind.
And maybe you’re still believing one of the myths I believed that kept me stuck for far too long.
Myth 1: “Once I make more money, all my problems will go away.”
Myth 2: “I need to wait until I have ___x_____ before I can be ____y_________”
Myth 3: “I’m just not good with money ... that’s who I am.”
These myths aren't true...
they are just lies we tell ourselves that keep us stuck.
This is how I've created an upward vortex of change...
and why I'm choosing to play a different game from here on out.
  1. AWARENESS : Spot the unhelpful patterns.
  2. ALIGNMENT : Remove leaks, waste, subscriptions, reactive spending.
  3. AMPLIFICATION : Multiply what works.
If you’re in the grind right now…
I see you.
I was there.
Deep in debt.
Running scared.
But you got this!
Learn the skills to build a successful business and make money...
