247. “I Can’t Make That Much Money!” With Molly Claire

Limiting beliefs are everywhere, and they can sound very subtle. They can sound like, I'm too old to do that. I should have done that by noon, and now it's 2 p.m. I can't make that much money. That’s a big one and today's guest goes deep, as she shares her own personal story about how much money she didn't think she could really make. Molly Claire is a Master Coach Instructor and founder of Holistic Master Coach Training inside The Masterful Coach Collective.  She helps coaches develop superior coaching skills so they can guarantee results for their clients, while designing a simple, profitable business model. Molly says she was born with entrepreneur blood. As a kid, if she wanted something, she had to figure out how to earn the money. In adulthood, she was a stay-at-home mom, but was always looking for the thing -- the thing that is going to allow her to use her gifts and help er feel alive and help others, and also have that balance in her life. Molly found coaching at a crisis point in her life. She had three kids, and had just been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. She was depressed, her marriage was struggling, and she couldn’t be the person she wanted to be. Molly did a coaching session and it blew her mind. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, this is really something.’ And number one, wow, there's more possibility in my life. And number two, this is something I want to do. I want to help other people have this experience,” says Molly. Molly says we all have limits because we have perceptions of the world. We have these ways that we see what's possible and what's not. We could all think today about what things you believe that you are limited in, just in small ways. Then ask yourself, is this really true?  One of her own past beliefs centered on money. At the time, she was launching her business and going through a divorce. With three children, she wanted to provide well, but she was terrified of finances. Her own coach asked her, “well, why don’t you just make as much money as your husband does?” The question was absurd to Molly. Her answer, a limiting belief, said to her, “well I can’t because I’m a woman.” “I didn't want to claim it. And yet there it was, clear as day that I had a belief that as a woman, I could not make as much money as a man,” says Molly. She started collecting evidence that her belief was a lie. She found women who made more money than her husband -- meaning her goal to make $250,000 was possible. As you’re collecting evidence, it’s important that we pay attention to who we're listening to and what we're giving credence to. The narrative starts to become part of your normalized conversation. “As women, when we are building a business and we believe that our business and our personal life are in conflict with each other, it lends itself to us always feeling spread thin, overwhelmed, guilty,” says Molly. “I should be here. I should be there. It's not useful. What I believe is that your personal life and your business are two parts of a bigger picture, which is your ultimate way of existing and living in the world.” Free gift: Visit the Pop up podcast https://myperfectbiz.com/  Connect with guest Molly Claire: https://mollyclaire.com/  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: How to Let Go of the Bully In Your Brain: [add link] You Deserve the Money: https://sarahwalton.com/bookkeeping-for-women/  You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton   Thank you so much for listening.
