As a successful businesswoman, you’ve conquered numerous challenges so far:

• Started your business and been going long enough for it to be a viable and ongoing concern
• Grown a team, because let’s face it, your clients need and want what you have to offer
• Juggled the balance of work and home life (sometimes, not very successfully but the kids/pets are still alive and you have a healthy waiting list of prospective clients)

And yet, when you look at your bottom line, the profit margins (aka money in your personal bank account) just aren’t showing up as you expect and want them to be.

Yes, you can tweak some expenses, perhaps look at increasing your prices but when you feel like you’ve pulled all the levers and you’re still not feeling rewarded sufficiently for your hard work, then you’re missing a key point.

And this is it – there’s a silent, somewhat uncomfortable, barrier standing between you and your next level of success: your money mindset.

And now is the time to address it, head-on.

Your money mindset is like a silent puppeteer pulling the strings, and if you’re not careful, it will hold you back from creating the financial success you know you’re worthy of.

Your money mindset is this intricate blend of upbringing, culture, family vibes, and life experiences.

It shapes your financial DNA, influencing how you view money, wealth, and success.

Rewind to your childhood… what money messages were whispered in your ear? 

For me, it was phrases like “money doesn’t grow on trees” or “you have to work hard for your money” – innocent at first glance, but they built a foundation of money beliefs that I had never stopped to question.

Your money beliefs are like a fingerprint, unique to you based on your life adventures, experiences, role models and upbringing.

The bad news?

Your current results are influenced by your current beliefs.

The good news?

Your money beliefs aren’t carved in stone; it’s just a vibe you have until a breakthrough happens. 

Recognising and challenging your beliefs is the secret sauce to propelling your business forward.

So if you are feeling stuck or experiencing a plateau, here’s your call to action: 

1. Grab a pen and paper. 
2. Jot down the money belief that’s been pulling the strings right now (i.e. anything that comes after you say the words, I’d be better off financially if/but…)
3. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Is it gospel truth?
• What if it’s not?
• What could be a better belief right now?

Challenge your beliefs and notice the impact it has on your bottom line.

As far as employees go, she was the most exceptional one you could ever meet:

• Turned up to work early and stayed late
• Went over an above expectations day in, day out
• Lived and breathed the values, the epitome of culture in my business
• Would put in more than 100% effort because she believed in my business

And yet, I didn’t pay her.

And when I did eventually pay her, it barely covered her living expenses, let alone any luxury that she so desperately deserved.

If this was true, you’d think I was crazy right?! 

I mean, aren’t we meant to reward our best employees with great salaries and a bonus system to keep them loyal?

But according to research by the Australian Women Chamber of Commerce & Industry, in 2013 they found that 51% of women small business owners do not pay themselves a wage.

And the conversation I have with women business owners tells the same story.

Like the client who has run a successful business for nearly 10 years, employs 14 staff and works crazy hours only to barely cover her mortgage payment with her wage.

This has to change!

If you’re in a similar situation, then it’s time to shift your mindset.

Often we think that our profit as the business owner comes from the old accounting system of

INCOME – EXPENSES = PROFIT

However, we need to flip this around. Instead, think of it as:

EXPENSES + PROFIT = INCOME 

Whether you place your income in expenses or profit, your income target must include a payment to yourself as a priority.

There are many systems around to help you out – the book ‘Profit First’ by Mike Michalowicz is a great starting point to shift your mindset.

The best way to start is to start with a number. Any number!

Be consistent when you pay it. And keep increasing the amount regularly.

Because the alternative is not worth thinking about: you’re going to end up resenting your business. 

And ultimately? Perhaps wanting to leave to find a job that pays you better.

That means giving up on your dreams.

Let’s not do that.
