101 Beliefs That Muck Up Your Money Mojo What type of money story do you have? Is it a fairy tale? Or more like a horror story? We all have a money story that acts as a filter for all of our interactions with money. Saving it. Spending it. Earning it. The truth is, your money story is not really yours. Unless you’ve done a lot of clearing of your inner beliefs and blocks about money, you are living one or both of your parents’ money stories. And this translates into struggle. Why do entrepreneurs struggle so much? It’s pretty simple. It’s all due to the programming we picked up as children. Those beliefs about money run through our nervous system, triggering the fight-flight-freeze response whenever we talk about, manage, look at, think about, save, spend or earn money. One of the biggest challenges for an entrepreneur is M-O-N-E-Y. This shows up in ways like:

$ Over giving $ Under charging $ Under valuing your services $ Discounting your worth, even at the time of sale

We’ve all been there. We’re all programmed for this, especially women. Including me. My Story: In 1999 I opened up my hypnotherapy/EFT practice. I followed all the rules about building a business: advertising in Yellow Pages and all the local metaphysical and alternative newspapers, putting up flyers in local stores, giving


talks. I had a beautiful office in San Francisco. Clients trickled in and got great results. I was living my dream. Until it became the Undercharging nightmare – even as I was doing well I told one potential client to pay me what she thought it was worth. So she gave me $60. Looking back, I realize what she received was worth more like $6,000+. I fell further and further behind in my finances, and ended up using my savings and retirement fund until that day when I had to (gasp) go get a job. Even though I was using the Law of Attraction, and I had been working on money affirmations since the 80s, nothing was working. Over the next 10 years, I delved deeper, clearing layers and layers of beliefs about money. I took workshops with Carol Dore, studied Fredric Lehrman’s Prosperity Consciousness and Abraham-Hicks, delved into the Law of Attraction, Louise Hay, and Margaret Lynch’s Tapping into Wealth…going deeper and deeper. And, I TAPPED!! Since then, I have adopted a deeper understanding about my money story. That the horror story I lived by -- my beliefs, programming and emotions -- have held me back all my life, preventing my Money Mojo from attracting what I wanted. I’ve cleared so much! Tapping on those inner beliefs changed my money story. That has changed my life, and now I’m helping my clients change their lives, by changing their money stories. What is my take-away from all this? That we each have a money story. It’s our own private Money Mojo, and it can either attract or repel financial freedom. If it is “mucked up” with old beliefs then every time we look at, think about, spend, save or manage money, those beliefs are running the show. But don’t panic, there’s help for this! Your Money Mojo Self-Assessment You too can shift your relationship with money and change your money story. Below is a list of 101 common beliefs about money that can stop you in your tracks.

Your Money Mojo Exercise This exercise uses Tapping (EFT) to reduce the intensity of the belief, so that it no longer triggers you. Tapping works by reducing or even eliminating the fight-flight-freeze response. It is a mind-body technique; think of it as acupressure for the emotions (without needles!). Instructions can be found in multiple places on the internet. For your convenience, I’ve provided a drawing with the Tapping points at the end of this document. Go there now if you need help. Now that you are familiar with the Tapping points, let’s get started. 1 - Go back to the top of the list, and for each belief you’ve circled you’ll do a “test” on how intense it feels.

$ Say the sentence out loud, and ask yourself, on a scale of 1-10, “how true

does this feel?”. Take the first number that comes into your mind. $ Write down that number next to the belief.

2 – If you have a 5-6 or above on a belief statement, use the Tapping technique on it to reduce the intensity or power of the belief.

$ Tap through the points while saying the belief out loud. For example, repeat out loud, “Money slips through my fingers” as you Tap gently on each point about 7-8 times. When you’ve Tapped on each point from the top of the head (TOH) to the underarm (UA), you’ve done one round. Congratulations!

3 – At the end of the first round, “Test” again: how true does that belief feel to you now, on a scale of 1-10? Your intention is to reduce the number to less than a 3. $ Say the sentence out loud again, and ask yourself “How true does that feel?” Write down the first number that comes to mind.

$ Notice if it reduced. Keep repeating the process until it ‘s 3 at most.

$ You might notice other related beliefs coming up while you were Tapping. Maybe a memory of a time when you were a child and your allowance fell out of your hand and you lost it. Great! You’ve uncovered another limiting belief so use the Tapping process on that! $ Tapping works by uncovering our layers of beliefs like an onion. We keep peeling the onion until we finally Tap on the core, and then


we are free! You might have very few layers in your onion, or many. It’s okay! Just keep Tapping! $ You might notice certain emotions (or feelings) coming up when you read a statement. Notice where it is in your body. On a scale of 1-10, how intense is the emotion? Write it down, and Tap on that until you get a 2-3 or under.

5 – When you’re done, take a deep breath. You should feel lighter, calmer. Once you’ve done this exercise, watch for the shifts in your money, in your life and in your business. This is how you Magnetize Your Money Mojo! Keep reading for a special offer…. AN INVITATION: I hope you experienced some shifting in your emotional reactions to these beliefs, and feel lighter, calmer, more peaceful. If you feel it isn’t working--if your numbers aren’t going down, or actually go up-- there are probably other beliefs hiding behind it that are getting triggered, keeping your Money Mojo from working for you. My Offer: If you are interested in having some help to identify some of these beliefs for further Tapping, I’d like to offer you a complimentary 30-minute Money Mojo Tapping Session. We’ll spend half an hour on the phone together, Tapping on the belief(s) that are plaguing you the most. To take advantage of this special offer, email me at [email protected].
