Episode 91: Embracing Big Money

How does the phrase ‘big money’ make you feel?

That’s exactly what we’ll be diving into today, specifically why a phrase like this provokes such a big reaction from so many people, and how understanding that reaction can help us make sense of our own approach to money making.

This episode started even before I hit record, when I took to Instagram to ask all of you what your gut reaction was to the phrase. Some people said it was exciting, but two thirds were more reluctant. ‘Big money’ felt out of reach, unattainable, too ambitions, even corrupt.

The knee jerk reaction to ‘big money’ often comes from a place of playing small, of casting aside what you want as too big, too ambitious, or too much. These are subconscious instincts that we’ve absorbed over time, from a culture that says it’s not ok to want more… which is just not true!

Tune in for more on how to challenge these assumptions and embrace your money making desires and ambitions.

QUOTES

“Owning the desire, owning the ambition for big money matters. And learning to unravel our conditioning around that somehow not being okay really matters.”

“Your worth is immeasurable. It's already set. It's pointless to measure it because it's concrete, and it can't really be measured because it's infinite.”

“People never want money just for money. We all want things, experiences, all of it, to create a certain feeling.”

“Just because there's lots of people not making that much money does not mean that's okay. The vast majority of the population is not making enough money. That doesn't mean we need to put ourselves in the place of the vast majority as if that's morally superior. It's not.”
