- Money mindset and changing a negative mindset
- Using affirmations to overcome money issues

Major Takeaways
- Don’t make the mistake of thinking you are an exception to success. If someone else can do it, so can you. (10:50)
- Many business owners feel guilty charging higher prices for their products and services because they wouldn’t spend that kind of money on it themselves. We often project our issues about money onto other people and our potential clients. (14:05)
- Business owners, especially women, tend to think in order to be financially successful they are going to have to give up having a life and spending time with their family. They tend to overwork themselves instead of establishing a good work life balance. (14:45)
- If you don’t believe it’s possible, it’s not possible. (32:30)
- Get rid of the scarcity mindset, the detrimental belief that if I have more, someone else must have less and if someone else has more, I must have less. (36:20)
- The universe is abundant. There is enough for everyone. (36:50)
- If you don’t address the money blocks, you won’t follow through. (39:05)
- People can copy what you do but not who you are. No one has the exact same thing to offer. (46:30)
