In this short coaching‑style video, Allison Maslan explores how entrepreneurs’ subconscious beliefs about money act as energetic forces that shape their financial outcomes. She begins with a client’s instinctive response that “money is stressful,” explaining that repeated emotional attachment to money creates a reality that confirms those feelings. Maslan argues that people attract what feels familiar, not what they consciously want, so a stress‑laden money frequency perpetuates scarcity even when strategy, team, or offers are solid. She contrasts two founders with identical revenue—one thriving, one struggling—to illustrate that the difference lies in the emotional frequency they hold toward money. By reframing money as a tool for freedom and expansion rather than a source of fear, entrepreneurs can rewrite their money story and unlock growth. Maslan closes by introducing her background—building ten companies and leading Pinnacle Global Network, a scaling advisory for 7‑ and 8‑figure CEOs—inviting viewers to follow her for further guidance on scaling business and life.

Chapters

I was coaching a client and I asked her to finish this sentence. Money is... She immediately responded, money is stressful. And through a spiritual lens, the answer almost really explained everything. The beliefs that you repeatedly attach emotion to become the energetic reality you unconsciously live inside of. So if someone deeply believes that money is stressful, pressure, fear, or instability, they often continue recreating experiences that emotionally confirm that belief. So the real question is, what story are you unconsciously repeating about money every single day.
You do not attract what you want. You attract what feels familiar. So if money always feels like stress, that's what you're going to keep recreating no matter how hard you work. And I have watched this for decades. 2 founders, same revenue, same opportunity. One is drowning and one is expanding. And the difference is almost never strategy. It's the frequency that they're holding money at, because money is energy. And when you chase it from fear, you're going to repel. And when you hold it as freedom as a tool for expansion, watch the money move towards you. And you can have the perfect team, the perfect offer, and still hit a ceiling because you are unintentionally capping what you allow yourself to receive. So I want you to finish this sentence fast before you can think. Money is what? That answer is a story you've been living in. But the beautiful part, it's just a story. You get to write a new one. I'm Allison Maslan. I've built 10 companies of my own. And for the last 17 years, my team and I have been running Pinnacle Global Network, the world's leading scaling advisory for 7 and 8-figure CEOs. So follow me for guidance on scaling your business and your life.
