Are You Using Negative Money Words?

I hear it all the time”I want to charge more for my services.”
When I ask, “What’s stopping you,” I usually get a look of panic and
hear words that are filled with fear and doubt. Hearing their “money
words” is an important first step when I work with a client.

Why? Because, it tells me a great deal about their money habits and beliefs.

I recently spoke with a woman who was interested in joining my mastermind program. She was letting fear and cost stand in the way of her stepping up to the plate.
Instead of investing in the program, she decided it was better to play
it safe and small. She made statements like, “I can’t afford it,” “I
don’t have the money” and even “I don’t know if it will be of benefit to
me.” These are words that are rooted in fear and lack, and will have a
direct impact on your ability to raise your own fees and up your prices.

So what kinds of words will let you stand in your power around money?
Talking about money in ways that are rooted in abundance and power
like, “I value myself enough to spend money on this program that will
greatly benefit my business” or “I would love to spend that kind of
money on (fill in the blank)” or even “Things that cost more have a
higher value.” Do you feel the difference in these statements?

When you use words that are powerful you automatically shift your
belief about YOU and what’s possible in your business and life. You’re
creating a shift deep within yourself that values quality, which
recognizes that good things DO cost more and are worth it.

Next time you hear yourself using language that is rooted in lack, I want you to stop and instead use your power — words that can help you make the shift from lack to abundance.
