Yes, I want quick easy money… who doesn’t? I have always felt I deserved it. I set up my own business and have worked hard at making it a success. I have worked the extra hours, missed those social occasions, not put the time into friendships. I have never regretted these choices either as being a success was my main priority. So it was pretty frustrating that no matter how hard I worked, I never quite got the levels of success I wanted. I did make money but this was through blood, sweat and tears not the quick easy money route I had always dreamed of.

A few months ago I kind of hit my limit and made me determined to get to the bottom of this. I had to change things because I was starting to think of myself as a business failure, which is something that I knew would only lead to tears.

So I started to look a little deeper into my lack of business success. Instead of doing my standard “lessons learned” from the last venture, I started to look at the thing that underpinned my business… me. I always thought of myself as having a pretty positive relationship with money… I thought I had my arms wide opened to it! But when I looked a little deeper I realized that there were a lot of negative beliefs in there as well… thinking small time, self doubt, and reliance on outside circumstances. Since then, I have been working on those rather than getting distracted by the latest quick money online scheme and guess what? I feel closer to my goals of success already.
