5 Steps to Overcoming Limiting Money Beliefs That Are Likely Keeping You Stuck
You’ve built success and you’ve created wealth. From the outside, your career looks like a masterclass in ambition, impact, and achievement. But if you’re being honest with yourself, there’s a quiet whisper underneath saying ~ this isn’t quite it…
You’ve reached so many of the milestones you set out to hit… You followed the rules and checked all the boxes… And yet, something still feels stuck. Maybe you're plateauing financially despite working at a higher level than ever before.
Maybe you're ready to lead differently, but old money stories are pulling you back into overwork, scarcity, or self-doubt.
This is what I call the invisible ceiling—the one built not by your ability or effort, but by your beliefs.
At this level, strategy is no longer the answer.
Mindset is.
Here’s my top 5 steps to help you overcome limiting money beliefs that will help you love, lead and succeed in your work and your life.
1. LISTEN FOR IT
What’s the #1 limiting money belief holding you back?
That voice in your head that whispers,
"If I want to earn more, I’ll have to work harder.”
"Money and purpose don’t go together.”
"If I succeed financially, something else will have to give.”
These pesky thoughts run quietly in the background. But left unchecked, they drive your decisions, your energy, and your capacity to grow.
The first step is tuning in and naming what’s running the show.
2. QUESTION IT
Ask yourself: Is this really true? According To Who?
Who said this is the way it must be? Who decided that success requires hustle and grind? Most of the money beliefs you hold weren’t consciously chosen. They were inherited—from family, culture, industry, even education.
You can honor where you’ve come from without continuing to carry beliefs that don’t serve you or your next chapter.
3. CHALLENGE IT
Create a list of the money you’ve earned to date.
This one might seem simple—but it’s powerful.
Track your earnings from your entire career or business. Not just salary, but bonuses, consulting, deals closed, contracts signed, investments made.
What you’ll likely discover?
💥 You’ve already earned and created more than your old belief system gives you credit for.
Sit in the feeling of how much abundance and prosperity you already have. It will change your actions and your results ~ in a really good way!
4. REWIRE IT
Choose a different thought or feeling. What would you rather believe?
If your current thought is:
"I’ll have to push harder to hit the next level.”
Try replacing it with:
"I receive more because I believe I’m worth more.”
"My income expands as I align more deeply with who I am.”
This isn’t fluff—it’s neural rewiring ~ aka Brain Science. Your nervous system will follow the money story you feed it most consistently.
5. ALIGN TO IT
Your income is directly tied to your identity.
This is where true change happens.
How do you need to see yourself differently to allow in your next level of wealth?
Do you still see yourself as the doer? The fixer? The grinder?
Or are you becoming The Visionary? The Receiver? The Leader who no longer hustles for worth, but owns it?
Your next level of money doesn’t come from more hours.
It comes from a new way of being.
Your Next Move
The money beliefs that got you here—successful, capable, and respected—won’t take you where you want to go.
The great news is, when we get curious about our thoughts and beliefs, we recognize them and then get to decide – ‘Do I want to believe them?’ ~ Yes, it’s a choice!
The purpose of all limiting beliefs is to keep you feeling safe. They also keep you stuck.
Use these 5 steps to move toward what you’d really love in your career, business and life.
