Business owners bring their story with them into the work – their past, present, fears, mess, humor, and trauma all go into their business decisions.

Every business owner has their own sabotaging beliefs around money. These beliefs have been following you around throughout your money journey. You must identify them, dig deeper, and be kind to yourself when you start noticing the patterns behind your actions. Below are some beliefs that prevent and distract you from making sound financial business decisions.

  • I feel guilty making money out of things that are easy for me.
