W.H.AM. Wednesday: Your #1 Obstacle

Alright, so I got a question for you. Do you have any idea what the number one obstacle is to growing your business? I bet it's not what you think. I'm going to tell you all about it in today's episode. Here's the big question. How are these average everyday moms getting radical results in their lives? How are they able to transform their health, money, families, homes and have fun doing it? The trick? We're not average. I'm Hannah Keeley and I'm going to spill our secrets and answer your questions right now in that mom show. Okay, so what are we talking about? We're talking. We're talking about growing your business and how to be successful at that. Because I want you to have a rock star business. I want you to be financially healthy. I want you to be energized by it. I want you to be excited by this. This is really important that you understand not just how to grow your business, but what is holding you back from growing your business. And that's the big thing that trips us up most of times is that we don't realize what's actually keeping us held back. We don't realize we're pushing so hard on the gas to grow our business, but we don't realize that with the other foot we're pushing on the brake. So we're just spinning our wheels and we're wondering why it's creeping along, why we're not further along than we should be or than we think we should be. Why is it slow, why is it stressful? Why is there pressure? Chances are you have one foot on the gas, one foot on the brake. So just imagine what could happen in your business as a work at home mom. Imagine what could happen in your business if instead of trying so hard to go faster and further, all you did was you took your foot off the brake. That would be the game changer for most of us, my friend, that would be the game changer if we learned how to get rid of the number one obstacle that was holding us back from growing our business. Now I'll tell you what we think the number one obstacle is often we think, well, here's some examples. I just don't have the time. You know, I'm a work at home mom. I have the kids, I got the house, I got the chores, I homeschool, whatever it is, I just don't have the time to do it. I just don't have the knowledge to do it. I don't have the skill set, I don't know the Right. People who could help me along on this journey. I don't have the right business if I just got a different business. And after you've gotten like five, six or seven, maybe it's not the business. But we keep on telling ourselves what is holding us back. Okay? We keep on telling ourselves. And think about it on a personal level. Like think about this personally. What have you told yourself the last seven days in regards to your business? Have you been telling yourself, if I just had abc, I could do it better. If I just didn't have abc, I could do it better? What have you been telling yourself? Because you will believe in your deepest core, whatever you continually tell yourself, I want you to get that you will believe deep in your subconscious, anchored in that belief system, you will believe whatever you continually tell yourself. So if you're telling yourself that if I just had this, I could do it better, if I just had this, I could do better, you're telling yourselves, you're telling yourself a reason why not why you can't build your business. But here's the number one obstacle to growing your business. This right here. You ready for this? Your belief that you can grow your business, it has nothing to do with time, education, opportunity, the people you know, your education, your income bracket, your age. It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with your belief that you can grow your business. That is what is holding you back. And I'm just going to be told like I always am. I'm going to be totally real with you, is that we know that excuses are lies we tell ourselves to protect us from a truth we are unwilling to receive. Okay? I've told you that before, that excuses are lies we tell ourselves to prevent, to protect us from a truth we are unwilling to receive. So think about this, think about how hard it is. And this is the problem with limiting beliefs, okay? The limiting belief you may have that you may be saying, you know what I'm going to be, I'm going to earn seven figures in my business, I'm going to be a million dollar earner. I'm going to have a team of thousand. Like whatever you're telling yourself, there's a difference between telling yourself that and really in your core believing it. It would be like the person who suffers from migraine headaches and keeps on saying, no, no, I am free of headaches, I am healed, I'm healed. And you keep telling yourself, but every day you keep on having headaches because in your subconscious you honestly don't believe it. Like you can tell yourself that. And when you continually tell yourself that, that's why the mindset step is such an important and crucial step in the mom mastery method. Because we have to mold our mindset to get that belief system in place. And sometimes when we continually picture it, continue to tell ourselves that we will adopt that belief. But what happens when our subconscious fights it? What happens when we keep on telling ourselves, I am a. I'm a million dollar earner. But. But deep in your subconscious, you're like, you've never had more than three figures in your checking account. What are you talking about? Like, when our subconscious is battling our conscious, the subconscious is going to win because our conscious has trained it so well. Kind of like, you know, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. It's hard to teach your hardwired subconscious new belief. So how do we do that? Because that's the number one obstacle that holds you back from growing your business. So what do we do about that? Well, first of all, the hardest thing about changing a limiting belief is it's the hardest thing to change. It's the hardest thing to change because, number one, it's subconscious. So get this. Thank you, Fitz. My dog literally just bought me measuring spoons. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I will hold on to these measuring spoons, and I'm grateful for it. Thank you very much. Good dog. So what literally, like. Like, here they are, the measuring spoons. Thank you, Fitz. I appreciate it. So think about that when you're trying to change a limiting belief. The thing about a limiting belief is it's below your conscious level, right? It's subconscious. It's below your conscious level. It would be like trying to fix something that's. That you're completely unaware of you. You don't know what to do. It would be like, I'm looking outside right now at the pool, and it would be like every single day, you bust your butt to clean out that pool. You get the net and you clean it out, and you clean it out every single day. And you're changing the filters and you're working your butt off, and you just can't get it looking beautiful and clear. And then you realize, oh, it had the wrong chemical the whole time. It had the wrong chemicals in there. No wonder I was working so hard to try to clean it out. All I had to do was test the chemicals, realized it was wrong, put a new chemical in there, and it's clean. Like, you still have to do maintenance, but it's clean. It's not so hard. So what we do often is we work so hard pumping on the gas, trying to grow our business, and we don't realize that deep down inside, underneath there's a limiting belief that if we could just get the chemical composition of that and switch it up, it would be hyper speed growth. Because it doesn't have to do with how much the time, the work, the stress, the toilet doesn't have anything to do with that. It has everything to do with getting your foot off the brake, getting down to the root of why you're holding yourself back. Because you will sabotage yourself. You will. And I'm going to talk about that. But the number one reason why it's so hard to change your limiting belief is its subconscious. It's below your conscious level. So you need to think about this. And I believe personally that we all have the mind of Christ. If you're a born again believer, you have the mind of Christ. So what we need to do is allow our conscious to tune into that mind of Christ and be willing to receive some hard knowledge, some hard wisdom that maybe messages we learned about being a work at home mom or running a business, or messages we heard about money were negative and maybe they got hardwired in there and we need to be open to receiving that wisdom and that knowledge that you know what, maybe I'm holding myself back. What could be hardwired in here and like pray over it and ask God, like God, can you reveal to me what is hardwired in me? Why do I hold myself back? What is the limiting belief I have? Because with God all things are possible. Like I know right now, because you're listening to me, that you are aware of the unlimited potential of God, that God has no limits. Therefore, when God dwells in you, you have no limits. So the only limits don't come from our God nature, but it comes from our man nature. So what did we learn in our human nature that could be holding us back from the unlimited potential which is inside of us? I know I'm getting kind of deep here, okay? But, but God will reveal things to you and you need to be willing to receive it. Not like, no, no, no, not that, but really be willing to receive. Like when I was younger, what, what was I surrounded with? What did I learn about money? What did I learn about business? What did I learn about a woman who has a career? Because here's the deal. If deep in your subconscious you believe that if you have a career, then you're hurting your children, you will never allow yourself to succeed. If you believe deep in your subconscious that money is stressful, you will never allow yourself to become a multimillionaire. You just won't. You will sabotage yourself every time. Every time you start to get a little bit of traction, you will slam on the brakes subconsciously. So allow God to reveal to you, what do I really believe? Not what do I tell myself I believe, but what do I really believe about a woman building a business, having a career, and earning money? What are some beliefs that I may have? What was I shown as a child? What did my own mother demonstrate? What did I see in regards. What did I hear in regards to money in business? Think about it. Another thing is why it's so hard to get rid of a limiting belief. To switch. A limiting belief is. Number two, is that we're inexperienced. We're inexperienced with anything but that limiting belief. Does that make sense? We're inexperienced. We have no different reality. So, for example, if we have this limiting belief that a woman who has a career is hurting her children, that is a limiting belief. Okay? If we have that, we have no exposure to anything that is contradictory to that reality. I'll never forget one thing that really was so beneficial to me when I started investing in my own growth and hiring coaches and hiring mentors is seeing how these women rocked their careers and earned seven figures while being amazing moms. And once I saw that, I was like, oh, wait, this is possible. Because a lot of times I, like, I saw my mom try to build a career and it really hurt her. It damaged her. She. I mean, she had a lot of problems and it created a lot of problems with her personally and in the family. And so my experience was, you know what? That's not a woman's place. But when I started to expose myself to mentors and coaches who were awesome moms and rock star business owners, I started developing a different experience. So allow yourself, even though it's unknown to you, allow yourself to be exposed to a different story, to a different experience, because that's what we hold onto, these beliefs that limit us, and they become obstacles to building our business because we don't have anything in our environment which is showing us anything different. So start being able to receive pictures of something that could inspire you to get to get the business that you desire in your life. Start being exposed to different things. The number three thing, and this is huge, is that the reason you are holding on to that obstacle is that you are ill equipped, you are ill equipped to change it. Now, this comes from therapy. It comes from coaching. If you've been through mom boot camp, you know, like, you have those skills, you have been equipped on how to diagnose and treat a limiting belief. Hey, mama. We'll get right back to the podcast, but did you know there is an entire online university just for moms? If you're ready to get radical results in your life, just go to mommastery.com that's M O M M A S T E R-Y dot com. Make sure you check it out and take your free quiz. Again, that's mommastery.com M O M M A S T-E-R-Y.com now back to the podcast. But if you, you don't know, if you've never been through mom boot camp, then you don't know what to do with this. You just know, wow, this really sucks, right? You don't know what to do with this. You don't feel equipped to change it. For example, if there was like a, if there's like a pickup volleyball match at the beach and I'm there and they're like, hey, Hannah, do you want to, do you want to play? I'm like, no. I mean, if they were really good players, I would be like, no. Like, if they were like 8 and younger maybe. But, but I, I am not equipped in volleyball. I've never played volleyball. Don't even know the rules, right? So I wouldn't want to participate in that because I don't know how to play the game. Now, if it's basketball, I would take you on, but if it's volleyball, I don't know how to play the game. So a lot of times we will shy away from confronting a limiting belief about our career and our money and our business because we are not equipped to change it. Therefore, we can't challenge it. So once you expose yourself to that, get the skills to change it. And I'm telling you right now, if you have not been through mom boot camp, you are hurting yourself. You are holding yourself back. You don't have the skills to change the limiting beliefs that are holding you back. So therefore, you're going to continue to be held back. How much more progress could you have made in the past three months since we closed down our last mom Boot camp? How much progress could you have made by now? Could you have made double what you're making? Could you have built your team three times as who knows? You don't know because you don't have the skills to change that belief system. There is a. There are Techniques, there are strategies, there are steps. And you need to get plugged in to the next mom bootcamp so you can get over those limiting beliefs and push your life forward. Get your foot off the brake. The last thing. This is number four, and this is huge, especially for moms. Huge. That you are unwilling. So we have. You're unaware, you're inexperienced, you're ill equipped. And number four, you're unwilling to get uncomfortable. You're unwilling to get uncomfortable growing your business. Everything hinges on sales. Everything. And if you're like, oh, I don't like sales, it's just because you don't know about sales. Because sales is the way that people change their lives. I have changed my life in so many ways. I've gone to conferences, I've hired coaches, I've hired mentors, I've read books, I've gone through courses. All of those. All of those cost me time and money. And if you're unwilling to see the value in sales, you will never be an active participant in it. You will never grow your business. You'll always have a feeling of shame in relationship to it. Always. Because you don't understand the power of it. You're unwilling to get uncomfortable. And if you're going to change a belief system, it's going to require you to get uncomfortable. Absolutely, Will. You can't go to the next level the way you are right now because your new life will. Will cost your old life. Get this in your heart. Your new life will cost your old life. How bad do you want that new life? Are you willing to get uncomfortable? Because when you're willing to get uncomfortable, that's when you start investing in yourself. That's when you start developing the strategies, you start getting the skill sets, you start uncovering these things, you start changing them and you start moving forward to grow the business that God created you. To grow to grow. Stepping into the position of leadership that God has ordained you for. But you can't go there living here. You got to be willing to get uncomfortable. Are you willing to overcome this number one obstacle to growing your business? Because it's your belief system and you got to go through some stuff to do it. But I believe in you. You got this. And I believe you are totally equipped to do the next step, whatever it is. I got you. I love you. Keep growing your business. And remember, there ain't nothing wrong with making money, honey.
