Money Fear is Not Stopping You
Apr 20, 2023Let’s talk about manifesting money and how fear isn’t the bad guy when it comes to manifesting; in fact, your fear is actually trying to help you manifest money.
Sometimes heart-centered coaches feel bad that they’re stuck in fear and worry about money, and then they judge themselves or keep their fears to themselves. It’s easy to look around and see other coaches doing “well” financially and feel alone or scared.
Fear is really normal and it’s going to come up if you own your own business.
I have had nail-biting moments in my business regularly over the last fourteen years. Just last year, I shelled out a whopping $16K to learn how to do Facebook Ads only to have my Facebook Ads Manager restricted permanently by Facebook.
Did I feel scared? Hell yes.
Did I try to judge myself for being scared? Hell yes. (Laughing emoji)
Then I remembered that the first step to understanding how fear is trying to help me manifest is to focus on self-compassion.
So, I bought myself flowers and took amazing care of myself for a week. I listened to what my body and spirit needed and I allowed myself to be scared, angry, sad, and every emotion in-between.
I didn’t stop running my business or coaching my clients, but I did take extra time for myself. Fear doesn’t have to shut us completely down, but it does need attention so we can find out where to go next.
When I tuned into the sensation of fear in my body, I was able to access deeper awarenesses around my business that had previously been unconscious. In my heart, I didn’t really want to run Facebook Ads. Instead, I wanted to take other intriguing action steps in my business.
It was time for a course correction, and though I hadn’t realized it, the seeming disaster was a positive part of that course correction.
Money fear is just an alert system letting you know that there’s an adjustment you need to make in your business in order to manifest money.
Weird, right?
It’s so easy to interpret it as a sign to stop - a sign we’re doing something wrong or messing up somehow.
Nope!
Fear is just here to guide you toward the most magical amounts of money your heart desires.
I learned this many years ago, when I was first starting my business, so I can promise you that fear is an amazing guide, having used it as such for so many years.
I’ve been listening to it for fourteen years and even in the darkest moments of owning a business, it’s steered me toward more income and more delight.
After listening to what fear had to say about Facebook Ads, I found that I could manifest $60K in thirty days in the business.
That’s pretty much exactly the opposite of what you would think would happen after taking that blow to the business.
Here’s how I made that happen:
There’s a small trick to this fear guidance. You don’t want to stay focused on the fear for too long because then you get scared of the fear. Feel it, connect to the guidance, and move on.
If I had stayed focused on the fear itself, I wouldn’t have made that turnaround into $60K.
When we feel stuck in fear, we’re actually so afraid of the fear itself that we don’t let ourselves just feel it and move forward with the new action steps fear is guiding us to take.
If this feels a bit topsy-turvy to your mind, it’s ok. Take time to re-read everything I’ve shared because it’s really quite different from what we’re taught to think about fear. We’re mostly taught to avoid it or “feel the fear and do it anyway.”
This rarely works, as you might know. It just makes you feel horrible while you’re doing whatever you’re doing. I’d rather you feel inspired! Especially when it comes to your business.
Teaching you my exact steps for working with fear so that you can turn it into your conscious manifesting ally is part of what I teach in my programs. You can learn more about them here.
