I used to think I was bad with money.
But the truth was, I was doing exactly what I was taught.
Get the stable job. Don't take any risks. Find a job that has a stable income.
So that's what I did. For 15 years. And I felt broke the entire time—no matter what I made.
But this is what I really wish someone would’ve told me instead:
Next time you're about to make a money decision—charging for your work, making an investment, leaving a job—pause and listen to the first thought that shows up.
"That's too risky."
"Nobody will pay that."
"Just be grateful for what you have."
Then ask yourself one thing: is that MY voice, or is that just what money sounded like in my house growing up?
Because those are two very different things. And most people go their whole lives never separating the two.
The first time I did that, I realized almost none of the beliefs running my finances were actually mine. That's what I ended up rewiring and it changed everything, my income included.
