Busting money myths

What money myths are you running your business by? Your views and beliefs about money can really help propel your business forward or hold it back. I hear it all the time with clients, certain money myths that are said over and over again. But it’s often coupled with a desire to grow the business and reach bigger financial goals. However, if you don’t pick up on those money myths you’re telling yourself, you will not reach the goals you set. So how can you change that?

It starts with picking up on those myths you’re telling yourself and busting them! So here are five of the most common ones that are constantly shared with me - along with simple ways to move past them.
