Episode 74: When life gets tough, money gets…
Deep breath… how are we all doing? It seems like an appropriate question to start with - it’s an interesting time to be running a business, and maybe an even more interesting time to be making money.
One thing about money is that it loves fun. And right now, it feels so complicated to have fun with money. With the state of the economy (shall I say the dreaded word ‘recession’), of politics, of the world, the looming threats can seem one after another… how can we think of our own desires when everything seems so precarious?
The reason this is difficult is because our conditioning around money tells us that we need to put other people’s needs above our own. Which means other people’s needs sneak their way into being a priority over running our business in ways that work for us.
It can feel like while there is suffering we cannot be prospering, like there is not enough space in the world for both things to exist at once. The truth is that making room for both is exactly what will make all the difference! Tune in for more on how…
And if you caught my mention of Plenty and want to surround yourself with a group of business owners and all around kind-hearted humans as we learn to bring the joy to money making (and so much more!), take a look at all the information here: https://www.raydodd.co.uk/plenty-signup
QUOTES
“Your feelings of fun and lightness and joy and excitement and ease and inspiration are not just nice to have. They are indicators that you’re operating in spaces that were made for you, they are indicators that you are something inside you is coming to life. When you run your business in that space, it means less spirals, less doubt. It's the magic ingredient that you were looking for, and money loves it.”
“One of the key signs that you are in the right space is joy, pleasure, fun, excitement, those tingles. How do we marry that with the state of the world? With the state of the economy? How do we go into launches selling in ways that feel fun?”
“Kindness at all costs conditioning comes in because there's a belief that while suffering is happening, we should not be prospering.”
“Let’s say somebody's drowning , does it help for you to get in the water and start drowning with them? Or do you need to use your own power, whatever that is, to help them?”
