You didn’t start your business thinking, “I hope I feel constantly stressed about money and never hit my income goals.”
And yet, here we are, refreshing the Stripe dashboard, watching cart abandonment like a hawk, and silently wondering, “Is this even working?”
If you’ve ever felt like money comes in slower than it goes out—or like there’s some invisible wall between you and that next level of income— then let me be the one to tell you…you can’t out-strategize a scarcity mindset.
But you can overcome it.
How Childhood Money Beliefs Affect Your Business Growth
This might be a tough pill to swallow but your pricing issues, visibility struggles, and fear of scaling?
They’re not always about your offer or marketing. A lot of it started way before your business ever existed.
Maybe you grew up hearing:
💸 “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
💸 “We can’t afford that.”
💸 “Rich people are greedy.”
💸 “You have to work hard for every dollar.”
That conditioning doesn’t just disappear because you’ve got an LLC. It shows up in sneaky ways: undercharging, overgiving, fear of hiring, or never feeling “ready” to raise your rates.
And what’s worse? You might intellectually know your value, but emotionally, there’s a disconnect.
That’s your childhood money script, quietly running the show. And it’s time to rewrite it.
Common Money Blocks That Keep Women From Scaling
Let’s get specific, because vague advice doesn’t help anyone.
Here are a few blocks I see all the time in brilliant, heart-led women entrepreneurs:
- The Good Girl Guilt Trip: You feel bad charging what you’re worth because you were taught to be “nice” and “not ask for too much.”
- The Martyr Complex: You overdeliver and undercharge, thinking you have to earn success through struggle.
- The “I’ll Be Ready When…” Loop: You keep waiting until you have the perfect offer, website, following, etc. because deep down, you don’t feel worthy of big money yet.
- The “If I Make More, I’ll Lose Something” Fear: Maybe it’s time, freedom, or relationships—but you associate more money with more problems.
The truth is:
Money isn’t the villain. Your mindset around it might be.
Practical Strategies to Step Into an Abundance Mindset
Okay, let’s shift gears. Here’s where you can start:
1. Audit Your Money Story
Grab a journal and ask yourself:
- What did I learn about money growing up?
- What emotions come up when I think about charging more?
- What do I believe about wealthy people?
Awareness is your first superpower. You can’t shift what you’re not willing to see.
2. Set Boundaries Around Free Labor
Stop giving away everything for free in the name of “exposure” or “just helping.”
There’s nothing noble about burnout.
If your knowledge solves a problem, it’s worth paying for. Period.
3. Track the Good, Not Just the Gaps
If you’re only looking at what’s missing, you’ll stay in lack.
Instead, start tracking:
- Wins (big + small)
- Testimonials
- Opportunities
- Money is already flowing in
Where attention goes, energy grows.
4. Raise Your Prices (Yes, Really)
If you’re fully booked, overwhelmed, and still broke?
You don’t need more clients.
You need better boundaries and better pricing.
Let people rise to your value instead of shrinking yourself to fit their budgets.
5. Start Acting Like the Business Owner You Want to Be
Would a six-figure CEO ghost her bank account?
Would she undercharge and panic over every slow week?
Probably not.
So start making decisions from the version of you who already has the income and impact you want. That mindset shift changes everything.
To Recap
Scarcity mindset isn’t a personality trait; it’s a pattern, and it’s one that can be changed. The more you normalize abundance, the more you attract it.
So here’s your reminder:
💖You didn’t come this far to play small.
💖Money doesn’t make you selfish.
💖It gives you options.
💖It funds your freedom, your impact, and your life.
💖Let it flow.
