You know the feeling. You finally decide to take the financial reins. You’ll pay off your debt, save for emergencies, invest regularly for retirement.
Off you go—to take a financial class, talk to an advisor, buy a money book when suddenly, you run smack dab into Resistance.
Resistance is the psychological term for “I don’t want to do this!”
So, you cancel the appointment, lose interest in the book, sit through the class, but nothing sinks in. You figure money’s not your thing. Eventually, you quit trying.
Resistance, more than anything else, is what stops women from taking the financial reins. But it doesn’t need to derail you, at least not for long.
You need to understand that resistance is normal. It’s a signal that you’re changing, heading into unfamiliar territory, not that something is wrong.
When you find yourself running into a wall, find a friend, a colleague or financial professional to hold you accountable. Whatever it is you don’t want to do, that is exactly what you need to do next.
If you dig deeper, you’ll find that what lies on the other side of Resistance is your Power.
It’s not managing our money, but about the powerful woman you must become to attract, maintain and grow your money. It’s owning our Power that really scares us.
Which is why I created The Wealth Connection, a safe, intimate online community of women supporting women ready to claim their power. I invite you to check it out and take advantage of my special offer.
I’d love to hear what you’ve done to overcome your resistance. Tell me about it in the comments below.
