147: The Mindset You Need To Increase Your Income - #GrowYourLife

Thanks for listening to the Grow youw Life podcast. My name is Jeremiah Krakowski and on this podcast we talk about ways for you to grow in your life and your business, to make more money, to be more successful and to reach your goals. Now today I want to talk about the mindset that you need to be a millionaire. I want to talk to you about the mindset that you need to make six figures. I want to talk to you about the mindset and the way that you think about money and your worth that you need to understand in order to give yourself a chance to be successful financially. We just did a live event here this weekend and I heard from a lot of people that they didn't feel like, like they were worth making the kind of money that we were talking about, that it was hard for them to imagine making that kind of money. And so that's what I want to talk to you about is you have to expand your possibility meter of what you believe is possible for you in order to be successful and make that kind of money. Okay? One of the number one things that decides how much money you can make in a business is how much you believe in yourself, how much self esteem you have, is how much self believe that you have that A you deserve it and B, that you can go reach it. See, it takes the two of those. A lot of people will look at, okay, I have a strategy to be successful, but maybe I don't deserve it. Maybe I would be greedy of me to be successful at that way. Maybe I'm afraid of making that kind of money and I don't think that I'm worth people paying me that much. That's actually the first place to start, is to believe that you are worth and deserve to make that kind of money. A millionaire believes. And I've talked to a couple of them this past week. I actually asked them this question, I asked a couple of millionaires, I said, listen, do you believe that when you go out in business that you deserve to make a million dollars? Any less than that, it's not really worth your time. And they say, absolutely, absolutely. And so for you to be successful, you have to believe that you deserve to make the amount that you want to make and then you increase that number after you reach that number. So once you make a million, I believe that I deserve to make 10 million. And let's go after it, let's go get it. It is levels to the game, my friends. The game does take some time, it takes some stair stepping, but if you stick with it, you can make more money. And so I want you to get your mindset in order. If you're somebody that's building a business, whether you are a coach, course creator, e commerce, network marketing, whatever it is, or you're just getting started, you maybe don't have an idea of what you want to do in business. You have to believe that you are worth making ten thousand dollars a month, twenty thousand a month, forty thousand a month, one hundred thousand dollars a month, twenty thousand in one day. And that might make you feel nauseous to even think about, that might make you feel insecure, that may make you feel nervous to think about that much money. But you need to start to think about that in your brain, in your mind's eye. Imagine yourself making that kind of money in the business. Imagine yourself waking up tomorrow and there's $20,000 in your bank account. Okay? Now I want you to think about the fact that you believe. Do you believe right now, today, listening to this, Yes, I deserve to make that kind of money. If the answer is no, then you're going to struggle to even come close to that number. Till you work on that belief, till you work on how much you believe that you're worth, till you work on how much you believe that people are willing to pay you and the that you can bring to the marketplace, you're only ever going to get the value that you believe that you're worth. And that's why most people never make more than 30,000 a year. That's why most people never make more than $60,000 even in a business. I was hearing an interview with, with a multi million dollar quote, unquote air quotes million, because they were making millions of dollars running these gyms. But it was funny, they were only taking home 60,000 in profit, 30,000 in profit. Because ultimately our life and our income earning potential comes down to the level that we believe that we're worth, okay? And so this is the core foundation. If you're going to be successful making any kind of money, you have to believe that you're worth making more than you are right now. So start with that. Don't think that you have to work harder either, that it's more hours that you have to work, that it's more value, that it's more work for you to do, that it's more value that you're bringing to the marketplace. But value is also defined by what you say it is. And this is where I think a lot of people, they're trying to find some way to quantify value. They're trying to quantify, well, how do I know that I'm worth that much? Ultimately, you get paid whatever you think that you should get paid by how you can present the perceived value and get people to buy into and trust you, your company, and your business. Now, I don't support defrauding people by lying about your value and saying that you're worth things. People go to prison for that. Elizabeth Holmes told people that people were investing in her company, and she stole billions of dollars from people by lying about the value that didn't exist in a product that was not even created yet. So don't be that way. Don't. I'm not telling you to be that way. But you have to have a level of confidence and belief in what you're worth to make any kind of money. To make any kind of money more than you are right now. And so answer this. Let's get it from another angle. Why don't you believe that you're worth that much? Maybe it's because you've never done it before. Great. Get out there and do it. Grow in your skill set. Do what it takes to increase your level of confidence. Get out there and try some stuff out. You know, when I launched this business, when I was doing clients for only a thousand dollars a month for ads, it's because, A, I didn't think people were gonna pay me more than that, and B, I wanted to get some clients under my belt to gain confidence in working with people. And then the next client I charged two grand and then four grand. And now we don't work with anybody on ads for less than 10k a month. And so how did I get to that level by time? By going through the steps, by starting at where I was at. And so it does take a level of humility. It takes a level of acceptance of where you're at as well. I see some people complain because they go out there and they say, why is Nobody paying me $5,000 for my service? And they have no track record and no case studies. Well, you might want to maybe lower your prices just to at least prove your methodology, to at least get some customers under your belt. You get to decide whatever those are. There's not rules to that side of things. By the way, stop trying to play in the inside of rules and constraints when it comes to this. Expand what you believe is possible for you when it comes to your income. Do you believe that you can make 10k a month? Do you believe that you can make 40k a month? 100k a month. Do you believe that you can make $2,000 a month in extra income? Whatever your level is, then what I want you to do is I want you to imagine 10 times that number. So if you're only trying to make an extra 2,000amonth, imagine 20,000. If you're trying to only make an extra 20k a month or 10k, imagine 100,000 or 200,000amonth, 10x that because on the journey of reaching 10x that you're gonna hit your goal anyways. And so why not dream bigger? If you're terrified of dreaming bigger because you're afraid of disappointing yourself, that's something to work on. Ask yourself, why are you so afraid of disappointment? Why are you attaching this. This need that I can't dream anything unless I know that I can accomplish may be because you set a dream, you set a goal you got rid of. You were harshly criticized by people when you didn't hit the goal. And you're afraid of making mistakes. You're afraid of not reaching your goals. You're afraid of things not going how you want them to. And so you play small, and so you play it safe. And so you play the game at the level that you think that you can play it at, when really you're called to play it at a much higher level. You're called to play it at a level that is beyond what you can imagine right now. And so think about this as a business owner. Get your mind thinking about what. What would it look like in my life if I made 100,000 or 200,000amonth? How would you live your life differently? What would you do differently? Some of those things that you would do differently, you need to start doing now. As long as they don't cost you a lot or would put you in debt or anything like that. I'm not talking about fake it till you make it opulent spending and trying to show wealth. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about how would you think, how would you perceive the world? See, a lot of you think that you can only think that way until you get to that level. When in fact is you need to start thinking that way now. And that's what's going to get you there. You need to start acting in that way now. And that's what's going to get you there. You just need to start acting as if now. And that's what's going to get you there. And that's what's stopping you, is trying to play it realistic, trying to play it so small and safe that you're not willing to put yourself out there. Now, this isn't to shame anybody's level of income or desire or whatever they want to do. If you're somebody who is an entrepreneur, a business owner, somebody who is setting out to build a business, to bring value to the marketplace and to make six figures or seven figures, you have to believe that you can make that much before you do it and then set out and don't stop until you do. A lot of people stop way too early, before the goal, when they're right at the finish line and they give up because it's too hard. It takes self discipline. It takes doing the work when you don't feel like it. It takes showing up when you lack motivation. It takes being consistent when you're not seeing results and still doing it with the same level of belief. Can you do that? I know the answer for many of you is no because you have never done it before and even the thought of it is challenging to you. But I believe that if you, if you, if you try, if you just try to do it, you might not do it all at once. Don't go around beating yourself up because you're not hitting your goals. Don't go around being so critical of yourself because things aren't working out perfectly for you how you wanted them to start with tiny baby steps. What can I do this week? What can I do this month to move the needle forward for me? What can I do with what I have the resources that I have to start to progress from where I'm at to where I want to be? You don't have to do it all at once, and you're not a failure for that. By the way. There's all these beliefs that we have in our brain that tell us these stories based on how we lived our life, based on experiences, whether it be childhood experiences or past career experiences or past business experiences. And they try to convince us to give up and to play it safe and to stay in a comfort zone. And we have to choose and decide to not let those things control what we are going to do. To not let those things decide and dictate how big we play or how much we can believe in or how small we. We decide that we're no longer going to live in this small little box. Are you tired of living life that way under the constraints of the beliefs that you have that are saying, I can't go past this level until xyz, Waiting until Something to change for you to learn, something new, for you to discover some new strategy for something to magically the clouds depart for things to happen. For you, my friends, that day is never going to come. You have to start taking action now with the information. You have to start to see the change in your life. Are you ready to start seeing massive breakthrough financially for you? Do you believe that that is possible for you? Do you believe that you can bring in that kind of money? Why not? Why or why not? If your answer is no, really figure that out, where that came from. What are you worried about? Are you worried about negativity from your family? People coming out of the woodwork asking for money? My friends, that's why boundaries are so important. See, there's tools and strategies to answer every single reason why you come up with why you can't. It all starts with what's up here. It all starts with how are you thinking about what's possible for you and when you shift that, when you shift your focus to start to believe that making 10 times more than you are right now is possible for you, five times more than you are right now is possible for you, two times more than you are right now is possible for you, Then you start taking actions based off of that belief, making decisions differently than you have before. You start having different conversations with people. You start showing up on social media differently. You start asking the questions that you've been previously afraid to ask because you want to learn everything it takes to get there and not let your brain stop you, not let your belief stop you, not let you, stop you from going after what you know is possible. It's time to. And really, you're the one with the key to unlock the door, open the door, and walk out of the tiny little box of what you think is possible for you and realize there are no limits. There are no limits on how much you can make. If you do the work, if you learn new skill sets, if you keep going, if you keep learning, if you keep asking the right questions, if you stop any of that. Yeah, there's limits. You'll never go past where you're at always, but consistently and sticking with the process, that's what will take you there. And that's what's going to change everything for you.
