The vibe on this gloomy Monday. Sometimes self-care looks like ci******es and coffee, you know?

Here are the signs that you’re LITERALLY stopping people from paying you.

Here’s a hard fact: we project our limiting beliefs onto other people, including those around money.

I know you’re probably thinking “PAULINA, WHY WOULD I STOP PEOPLE FROM PAYING ME?!”

Well the answer to that is that we do it unconsciously. So unless you’re aware of it, you do it automatically without realizing.

HERE ARE THE SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR…

This is probably the biggest one and I’ve struggled with it myself. If you equate selling with sleazy carsalesmen vibes or commission workers desperate for a sale, then ya that’s not the vibe.

People definitely don’t want to feel pressured, but they DO need help and even handholding sometimes. They literally rely on you to tell them what’s best for them. So give them what they need and reframe selling into serving.

I will preach about this one until the day I die. When you try to appeal to people by lowering your prices, not only are you trying to win over the wrong person who doesn’t value what you offer, but you also REPEL your ideal client!

Your ideal client will see and understand your value and be ready to pay the price after you handle some of their common objections. If you price too low, they’ll question whether you give any value since your price is so low. See how you’re shooting yourself in the foot?

Also, people have different money stories! Your customer might be more comfortable with spending money, but your limiting beliefs will unconsciously create barriers to receiving that payment.

Calling all my entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs 🗣️🗣️🗣️

These 5 truths hit me SO. DAMN. HARD.

The beautiful thing about it though is that once you learn to transmute lessons into strengths, they become your superpower.

That's what makes you fearless.
That's what makes you invincible.

The ability to turn your obstacles into a well-worn path on your journey.

So let me know…

Which one hit you the hardest? 👇🏽👇🏻👇🏿

Why do we demonize slowing down and taking the time to integrate our lessons?

After forcing myself to “be busy” for so long, I finally gave myself permission to let go, rest, and listen to my body.

What did I learn?

👉🏽 Rest is MASSIVELY productive and allows your mind and body to harmonize. Today’s society conditions us to disconnect from the body and listen only to the mind. No bueno.

👉🏻 Your best ideas, creative flows, and sense of purpose lie on the other side of a rested and harmonized experience.

👉🏿 Being an entrepreneur requires your best Self. It’s your job, and your job only, to make sure that you care for, nourish, and protect your Self. No one else can do that for you.

I hope this serves as a reminder to do something for YOU today. Go for a walk. See a friend. Dance in your underwear. Do what you need to do so you can show up fully as your best Self.

Oh, and don’t forget to drink water!! 🚰

SO TELL ME…
When’s the last time you stood up or did something good for your Self?
