Do you find it difficult to earn, save, or attract more money or achieve your money goals? If the answer is YES, subconscious limiting beliefs may be the root cause if that outcome. If we want to live comfortably, educate ourselves, grow, evolve, travel, take good care of our health and our family, make better and more conscious consumer choices (such as fair-trade, organic, eco-friendly, zero waste, non-toxic, ethically and sustainably sources…), do the work that we are passionate about, support charities and cause we believe in, and make bigger positive impact in the world – we need to thrive financially.
‘You can not shine your light in the world, if you cannot afford to pay your electricity bill.’ (dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith)
1. DECLUTTER YOUR SPACE
Declutter your space and give away all the material things (like clothes, furniture, art pieces, old books…) that you don’t (often) use, or need. The Universal Law Of Vacuum states that the Universe tends to fill the vacuum – empty space. Contemplate for the moment: how can you create the space for receiving more money and new things that you desire in your life? What do you need to let go of in order to create the space to receive that you desire? What no longer serves you or matches the vision of the life that you want to create?
2. donate Money To Charity

What do you need to let go of in order to create the space to receive that you desire? What no longer serves you or matches the vision of the life that you want to create?
3. Stop saying “I can’t afford it!”

4. PRACTICE GRATITUDE
In your gratitude or prosperity journal and note down the things you are grateful for in your life every day. You can also set reminders on your your phone to practice gratitude throughout the day.
“Gratitude can turn common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” ~William Arthur Ward
5. Create a prosperity visionboard for the year
Post the pictures of fair trade, organic, ethically sourced, and sustainable products and item you want to buy. Paste one destination you want to travel to. Paste the pictures that depict your ideal working day as a life coach. Paste the words ABUNDANCE, FREEDOM, IMPACT, RICH LIFE, PROSPERITY… Avoid adding the words like HUSTLE HARD, as that implies the limiting belief that ‘making money is hard’. You can also add affirmations on your vision board, such as ‘Money comes to me easily, frequently, abundantly, and from different sources”, or any other affirmation that you resonate with.
6. Buy a bigger wallet
Buy a beautiful, bigger wallet (as an act of faith that more money is coming in your life).
7. Invest in yourself
Invest in yourself, your knowledge, skills, working with a coach, having a mentor… When you invest in yourself, people will want to invest in you (your skills, your services, your talents, your expertise, and your knowledge).
8. Upgrade your environment
Upgrade your environment (in your home, or your working space). Looking at the broken and old furniture, old bag or a pair of shoes will not make you feel wealthy. Of course, you should not be irresponsible and get into a credit card debt, but you can do small incremental upgrades in your environment, that you can afford, like buying a beautiful notebook or journal, having fresh flowers on the table, dressing your sofa pillows with beautiful covers, hanging a piece of art on your wall…
9. spend more time with wealthy people
Start spending more time with people who are wealthy. Their mindset and empowering beliefs about money, creative ideas, big visions and money management skills will “rub off” on you.
10. Start listening podcasts and interviews
about money
Start listening podcasts on money mindset and interviews with millionaires and successful entrepreneurs, in order to adopt prosperous beliefs about money and learn how to manage money, invest money, and earn more money.
11. read more books about money
“Successful and wealthy people have extensive library of books in their home, which they used to educate themselves on how to make money and become successful. Poor people like entertainment shows, tabloids, and novels.” (Steve Siebold)
12. track your finances
Manage your money wisely. Make sure that you have your finances in order. Track your expenses and your income. Get yourself educated on tax law. Invest money on things that can help you earn money (like creating digital products and coaching programs that you can sell; setting up your website; equipment – such as good laptop to work on, camera for recording videos, or microphone for recording podcasts; business coaching, money mindset coaching, having a mentor…). Keep all the invoices for business expenses available and organised, so that you can file them for tax deduction. Pay your credit cards and other bills on time (set reminders on Google calendar or your phone on due dates).
13. Stop buying (only) on discounts
Stop buying (only) on discounts and in cheap outlets. Every time you enter into such store you are giving a message to your subconscious mind and the Universe that you are poor and you can’t afford any better! Rather than buying ten different things on sales, in cheap outlets, buy one expensive thing from the brand that you resonate with a lot. Whenever you will wear or use that item, you will be cultivating the feeling of being wealthy and being able to afford it.
14. ‘act as if’ you are abundant
Make a list of things that you would do on a daily basis if you would be rich. Then start doing those things today, in a symbolical way. Go on a weekend trip nearby, if you would like to travel more. Buy an affordable soap, from a brand that sells organic, non- toxic, ethically made, and sustainable skin care products. Create a wish-list of books you want to read. Then buy the first book on the list. Give some money to charity.
15. Prioritise self care
Practice self care that will reflect how worthy you are (that does not cost a fortune). Have a hot bath. Make a foot soak. Apply a good quality mask on your face once or twice in week. Buy flowers for yourself once a week (on the farmers market). Create a meditation space in your home and buy a meditation cushion. Buy a gorgeous mug to drink your morning cup of tea or coffee. Buy beautiful sleep wear. Buy a non-toxic, good quality soap bar. Buy finest towels and bath robe that you can afford for yourself. Burn scented candles.
16. increase your financial IQ
Read articles with advice on finance, money, and business growth, published by magazines such as Forbes, Business Insider, INC, Entrepreneur (they have an abundant archive of online articles which you can read for free on their websites).
17. spend less time with people who have
scarcity mindset
Avoid spending time with people who complain about lack of money, and have the scarcity mindset, especially those who are telling you that ‘you cannot make money by coaching’ or by ‘doing what you love’.
18. Create a ‘PROSPERITY wish list’
Create a wish list with organic and fair trade food products, non-toxic, clean, natural skin care products, and ethical and sustainable fashion items that you will be buying once you start earning abundant income from multiple income streams and passive income streams in your coaching business. Take a look at your wish list often and contemplate how your action of buying these foods, products, and clothes will help you to be healthier, help the planet, help other entrepreneurs, and help families and farmers who will trough the fair trade programs and ethical working environment be able to live and work with dignity, and send their children to school.
19. be aware of what you watch
Stop watching shows and movies in which rich people are portrayed negatively (corrupt, crooks, greedy, mafia members, lonely and miserable…). If you want to reprogram your mindset about money, you need to be careful to what kind of messages you are exposing yourself to, because they can affect your belief system on conscious and subconscious level.
20. get clarity on your beliefs about money
If you were experiencing lack and scarcity while growing up, chances are that you may (on a subconscious level) have a lot of limiting beliefs about money (the scarcity mindset). This is especially so, if you were growing up listening and watching your parents fighting over money, or constantly worrying about money, or your parents have had a failed business, or huge amount of debt, there was the fight over inheritance in your family, or you were growing up surrounded by poverty in your environment.
Limiting beliefs about money can hold us back from earning more money, thriving in the career we are passionate about, being of greater service to the world, and enjoying our life. If we want to reprogram limiting beliefs about money, we need to first identify what limiting beliefs are holding us back on a subconscious level.
In my book ‘Unlock The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind – How To Reprogram Limiting Beliefs and Attract What You Desire With Ease’, I devoted the entire chapter to the topic of identifying limiting beliefs about money. Exercises given in this book can help you to get clarity about your beliefs about money, and reprogram them. You can check it out on Amazon (click here). If you are a life coach, I highly suggest that you read my book ‘Abundant Life Coach – How To Build Profitable Life Coaching Business While Making Positive Impact In The World‘ (you can get it on Amazon here).
