“ brokesplaining ”
The act of explaining or justifying why you are always broke
When you’re broke — and you’re giving me all the crazy reasons you’re broke and why being broke is noble and why you have to stay broke…
Listen to your self-talk: I’m not worthy, I'm not good enough, I can’t find the good clients/job/product/opportunity…
STOP IT
Here are 7 strategies (let’s do 4 today and 3 more coming at you tomorrow) to help you change that attitude and start owning your worth (and your potential!)
1 — Keep track of your gratitude
This keeps you anchored in your awesomeness, keep your head high, and keeps you focused on going after the life you deserve.
#2 — Your checkbook = reality
You can look through your checkbook/bank account and see where it is. If it’s not where you need it to be — this is your reality check.
I’ve never seen someone open their checkbook and say “wow! I’m rolling in dough! I guess I'd better go change everything!”
When there’s something wrong with how much you’re making; how much you’re contributing to your family… that’s your reality. If you’re not happy with what’s in your checkbook, you’ve got to change what you’re doing, saying, thinking… your messaging, marketing, pricing, outreach… it’s all got to change.
Your checkbook is your early warning system.
#3 — Feed your mind
You are not going to get where you need to get on your own. You need books. You need mentors. You need new ideas applied to your business.
The first book I would read is The Obstacle is The Way by Ryan Holiday if your business isn’t where it needs to be and your mindset isn’t where it needs to be and all you’re saying is “Wow this is hard. I don’t know why it’s so hard. I don’t know why I can’t make any money. I don’t know why I can’t reach the next level of success.”
You absolutely will not get there on your own.
Figure out what you need to read, what you need to listen to, how you need to reinforce your mindset and your Skillset to generate the outcomes you want. I guarantee you that nobody does anything great alone.
#4 — Don’t buy the bulls**t
When they say:
- We don’t have the budget to hire you
- We can’t afford you, or what you are selling.
- We’re not sure we are your audience/client base
- Or any other negative message you’re getting from the marketplace…
Maybe your BS meter set on high?
Are you clear on your value?
If your mindset is 100% firm and clear and connected to the value, you need to dial this in.
Keep your eye out for the final 3 strategies.
