And if you haven't already, you can head over to www .applestandbook .com to sign up for the challenge and get even more exclusive content and support. Now today we're going to be diving into a topic that's going to be a little bit more complicated than the one we're going to be talking about.

topic that can stir up a lot of emotions for entrepreneurs. And that is our money. Money, money, money, money, right? Show me the money. Today, we're going to explore how to overcome common money blocks and cultivate a mindset of financial abundance because it all starts up here, you guys, because let's face it, when our relationship with money is strained, it can be really, really tough to find our bliss in business, right? Okay.

Now, I know from personal experience and from coaching over 50 ,000 entrepreneurs that money struggles can be a major source of stress and frustration. And maybe you've even found yourself thinking like thinking things like, I'm not charging enough, but I'm afraid to raise my prices or I'm constantly worrying about cash flow and whether I can pay the bills. I remember so many times in my own businesses when I was like in the grips of a scarcity mindset.

I found myself under charging. I found myself like over delivering and then constantly second guessing my own self -worth and it was exhausting and for sure it took the joy out of my day -to -day work. But the truth is is that when we are operating from a place of lack stress limitation, it's really really hard to show up as our best selves in our business that financial stress can actually cloud

our judgment, it stifles our creativity, and yeah, it absolutely leans to burnout and starting to hate or resent or be bitter about our businesses. But the good news is that we have the power, remember, take ownership from earlier episodes, we have the power to shift our relationship with money, and we can go from scarcity to abundance. But it's important for us to align ourselves with that natural flow of money and detach ourselves from all that fear, desperation. And when we do, guess what? Amazing things can happen. Let me ask you, do you think that you attract more money being in a good, happy, positive state or a stressed out, overwhelmed state? I think you can answer that question, right? So that's why all of this emotional work is so very, very important. When we start to now embrace financial abundance, it is absolutely possible. We open ourselves up to new opportunity.

to inspiration, resources, all of those things. It's almost like little magnets, right? We just kind of start to bring those things and attract those things to us. And we're also able to make decisions from a place of confidence and clarity rather than fear and lack. Then we start to see money as a tool, which is what it is, a tool for creating positive change rather than something that we have to hoard or chase or be so desperate to get. So how do we actually make this shift?

Well, in my book, The Apple Stand, I absolutely share many key strategies that have been game changers for me and my clients. And I'm going to share some of those with you here today. First, it's crucial to examine and reframe any limiting beliefs that you might have around wealth and worthiness and money, right? Because at the end of the day, it all starts with us. We've talked about that. Take ownership. Well, if it all starts with us, that means that if I'm bringing limiting beliefs around my money and my worthiness,

to have that money, well, it's going to make it a whole lot harder to bring more money into my life. So I want you to take a moment and just ask yourself what stories, what stories are you telling yourself about money? And remember, we use our words to create as well. So how often are you saying things like, I never have enough money. I hate money. Money never comes to me. Money is never easy for me. All of those things. And how many times have you thought it? How many times have you said it? And so,

So if that's what we're putting out, guess what you guys, we are loved so much by this beautiful universe that it will give us whatever we're asking for. So if we keep saying, I hate money and we're proving ourselves right about that, all we're going to do is gather evidence to prove ourselves right of why I hate money. All right. This is why it's so important to reframe this and start to shift it. And we also have to believe that we deserve financial success. We have to deserve it. If the, the belief system them under there is that I'm not worthy of money. Well, guess what? You're just going to continue to get things to prove to you that you're right, that you're not worthy about money. Okay. So once we identify all those old disempowering beliefs, then we can start to replace them with more abundant and supportive beliefs. Now, a super easy practice to start getting you into this is gratitude, right? Gratitude is such a powerful thing. Gratitude opens the door between your conscious mind,your subconscious feeling world, okay? Mind is where we're thinking, the heart is where all those emotions are, and gratitude is like a door that opens the two and connects your mind and your heart together. And it doesn't matter what your current financial situation is, there are always blessings to be thankful for. It might be a super loyal client, maybe it's a skill that only you have, or maybe it's just the opportunity to do the work you love. I went and dropped my daughter at school this morning and

And as I came back, it's a beautiful day. All the trees are, you know, everything's blooming and the sun is shining. And I was just so grateful. It's like, I'm so grateful that I have this business and I get to do this work that I love. And it gives me the freedom to be able to take my daughter and drop her off at school. And I just was like, thank you, thank you, thank you. And to just to feel that gratitude when you little things, right? It didn't cost anything and had nothing even to do with money, but I felt wealthy. I felt a

Abundant right just by noticing a beautiful sunny day and getting to have a little conversation and quality time with my daughter on Our ride to school So this is what happens that when you focus on the things that you appreciate You actually shift your energy you raise your emotional state What's happening is that you start to attract more positive? experiences, okay, one of the other things that you can do is you can focus on value creation and in being in service

rather than that lack or desperation. Because when you are coming from a place of genuinely wanting to help and make a difference, guess what? It shines through in your work. You can tell when people are, you know, showing up just for the money and you can tell when they show up because they truly want to be in service to you, right? And guess what? People are just naturally drawn to that authenticity. We are drawn together as human beings from the heart space.

So when you start to also surround yourself with abundance minded people, that can also make a huge difference. So look around at who you're hanging out with. There's a, I think it's Jim Rohn quote that you are the sum of the five people that you spend the most time with. Okay. So look for mentors and colleagues and coaches and friends, peers who have a healthy relationship with money. If you're only hanging around with people who have money woes, how are you're going to just be like having more money.

money woes, hang around with people who have conquered this and you will absolutely learn from them too. You can read books, listen to podcasts like this one. Great job and engage in conversations that actually support your financial growth, not the whole like woe is me. Let's all stay in the victim mindset with money. No, no, no, no. Okay. So my challenge for today is for you to choose just one of these strategies to focus on today. And I'd love for you to carry it into the week as well.

Maybe you just start to identify or rewrite a limiting money belief. Maybe you just start using some different words around your money. Or maybe you even start a daily gratitude practice for your business finances. I remember a time several years ago where I really sat down and started thinking about my relationship with money. And I realized, you know what? I was being a total asshole to money. You guys, I realized like, no wonder it doesn't want to hang out with me because anytime it shows up, I'm just like, no, you're here.

But it's not enough. It's not enough. I was mad at money because it felt like there was just never enough never enough and I was angry at it and I realized well Am I treating money like I would treat my best friend? Of course not and when I started to shift and I started to treat money like my best friend and something that I love instead of always hating the fact that there was never enough of it things absolutely shifted for me so Do one thing today to shift your focus towards loving your money instead of being in the hate and anger?

about it. Okay. For our minds, focus your mind on thoughts, right? The thoughts that you were choosing and they should be true thoughts. Things like I love money and you know what I do. I welcome money. I welcome money. Think that when I say and think, think and say, I welcome money. Boy, that makes me feel good. I just feel my emotions just woo rising. I feel myself really open up to embrace it and receive money. And one of my other favorite ones is I give myself permission to receive money. Money, right? And stop holding it outside of myself. I'm so excited to have more money. 100 % true. I'm excited. So think these thoughts and say these words out loud. And if you want to pair the words with exercise, that's even better because it literally just programs it into your physical body and being. Now, as you're saying these words, I love money and it's true. I welcome money and it's true. Give myself permission to receive more money. And it's true. I'm so excited to have more money. Just feel your heart space opening and feel that difference and then do your very best to continue throughout the day of saying and thinking these better feeling thoughts and feel your heart space open up. Now quick little physical one. All right, you guys, bring more citrus into your day. Things like lemons and oranges. Did you know that for years, not just years, decades and decades, people have gone towards citrus fruits because they are a sign of abundance and prosperity.

In fact, orange is one of the essential oils and it's known for its meaning, which is wealth and prosperity. Oranges and tangerines are also super abundant in calcium, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. And guess what? Lemons and limes are super ultra hydrating and they also produce electrolytes because they're a top source for trace mineral salts and they also have a super highly absorbable form of vitamin C. Lemons and limes are like the ideal soothers.

So when you're dealing with difficulties in life, they can help alter the feelings of sadness, distress, and work. And they can actually help to lift your spirits and lighten your heart. Maybe you didn't know that about lemons and lime. So the next time even you go out to a restaurant, you have a little, you know, lemon in your water and lemon in the water helps to reactivate the water. I know you've heard a lot of things about our water supply, but a little lemon squeeze, a little lime into your water and helps to just reactivate it and set your intention when you bring some of these foods into your life because they truly have a power and they truly are healing.
