Episode Seventy Two: Creating a positive mindset with your business finances
During this episode, I chat to Aimee about her driving factor for changing from her corporate job to working for herself. She talks about her journey in the corporate world how she kept getting promoted and knew she had the right skill sets. She kept chasing the pay checks but found she wasn’t fulfilled.
She worked within the financial sector and she wanted to support small businesses that didn’t get their finances, so she created a secret plan that she didn’t even tell her husband about out of fear. On the outside, her corporate job looked like the right career but she didn’t love it and it affected her physically and mentally. Aimee shares how one morning her husband asked if she was ok which she replied no she wasn’t. From that moment she took a leave of absence from work and started building out a plan for her business. At the six month mark, she decided to leave her full-time job and took on a part-time job and grew her business from there. Aimee talks about why she took the slow intentional process to build her business with her part-time job as support.
Aimee shares what helped her move past the fear, she knew she wasn’t afraid to work and how when you have an inner knowing you have to go for it. She shares tips on moving past any fears that may come up for you like creating a worst-case scenario which could be that you may have to pick up another job if things don’t work out. This gives you that security to go all-in with your business knowing that you have a plan if it doesn’t work out. Being comfortable enough with the worst-case scenario gives you the confidence to proceed.
Throughout this episode, we discuss what money shame is and how you can turn the stories around to create positive money beliefs. We chat about tips for playing small and shame around earning money for your business. How it’s about knowing that you are empowering your clients with what they need right now. We talk about separating your self-worth with your bottom line, understanding that money is neutral. Think about the fundamental truths in life which are we are all worthy, we are all enough and we are all loveable. The power behind having these truths at the forefront of your mind. We discuss when we tie our value into the numbers it’s not ideal because it’s not a result of who we are as humans it’s about how we can make decisions as a CEO to change those results.
Aimee provides us with a step by step guide for approaching finances from a start-up that is still working full time. She talks about the importance of creating a positive money relationship from the outset and the power behind having a financial system in place for tracking. Aimee shares what are the biggest mindset blocks with money and how we can move through them.
