Transcend money beliefs.

This is where we get to the “how do you fix it?” part. 

All of us grow up hearing certain money messages. We absorb the money beliefs of our parents and our culture, and these beliefs shape the development of our own relationship with money. If left unexamined and unaddressed, the unintended consequences of following inherited beliefs and old scripts carries through into our adult lives. 

Do any of these sound familiar?

“Money can’t buy happiness.” Read: “Having money and being truly happy are mutually exclusive.”

“Must be nice.” Read: “The world is divided up into the haves and the have nots, and real success is reserved for other people.”

“Rich people are greedy.” Read: “You can’t be wealthy and be a good person at the same time.”

It’s easy to see how beliefs like these can become ingrained, and run in a subconscious loop that sabotages our ability as adults to take ownership of our wealth, to enjoy it, and to leverage it for our good, the good of our families, and the greater good.

How do we start to fix it? The first step is to ditch the shame, guilt, hesitation, and fear implicit in those scripts by bringing our money beliefs to light and transcending them.
