Episode 76: Getting What You Want
Why are you making money?
This is what we’re chatting through in today’s episode… because no one makes money just for money’s sake. Whether you’re motivated by numbers, necessity, validation, or something else, there is always a driving force behind why you’re earning and what you want to earn.
We can get caught up in thinking that money needs to be hard work and VERY serious, which can fog our vision when it comes to what actually matters to us while making money. Money loves it when you show up in a way that is FUN for you, and I don’t mean that in a magical, mysterious way. Money loves fun because if you are having fun, you’re enjoying what you’re doing… which means that you’re clearly motivated by the way you’re doing it!
And that’s what it’s all about. Making money in a way that is completely YOU. Tune in for more on how!
And if you want help accessing your desires around money and tapping into your specific, uniquely you motivation, then today is the last day to join my money program Plenty! Here’s the link for all the info: https://www.raydodd.co.uk/plenty-november-2022/
QUOTES
“The work is to find the thing that motivates. Perhaps it's having a bigger impact. Perhaps it's the sort of things that people are going to experience once they work with you. Perhaps it's the process of creating what you create. Perhaps it's the connections you make. Perhaps it's more about numbers of sales as in people you impact.”
“As women, we are very frequently, if not from birth, we are taught to deny our desires. Two of the most basic desires are food and rest. How are those two working out for you in a misogynistic, capitalist, patriarchal society?”
“One of the reasons that people are not motivated by numbers is because we're caught up and we take it too seriously. We set a goal and if we don't hit it, we make that mean a lot of stuff about us. We really judge ourselves. We don't look at the business issues that come up. We go straight to where we are to blame, where we are rubbish”
