How Limiting Beliefs About Money Impact Your Bottom Line as a Coach

You may or may not realize it (depending on how far you’ve gone into self-coaching), but the thoughts you think about money have a direct impact on your coaching business and your ability to make money.

For example, if you believe that “money is hard to come by” or “you have to struggle to make money”, those beliefs will become your reality. And what do you think will happen to your coaching business if you believe those things to be true?

You guessed it — you’ll struggle in your business and probably won’t make much money.

On the other hand, if you believe that “making money is easy” or “money comes easily to me”, those beliefs will become your reality as well. And what do you think will happen to your coaching business if you believe those things to be true?

You guessed it — you’ll be successful in your business and probably make a lot of money.

See how powerful your beliefs about money can be? If you want to change the amount of money you’re making in your coaching business, you have to start with changing your beliefs about money.

Common Negative Financial Beliefs You Might Be Suffering From

Chances are, if you’re struggling to make money in your coaching business, you have some negative beliefs about money that are holding you back. Here are some of the most common that we’ve come across (in ourselves and in our clients):

1. “Money is scarce.”
2. “I don’t deserve to make a lot of money.”
3. “Making money is hard work.”
4. “You have to sacrifice a lot to make money.”
5. “I’m not good enough to make a lot of money.”
