What’s the Story You Tell Yourself About Money?

Your beliefs about money shape every aspect of your life and business. These beliefs are simply stories you’ve told yourself so many times that they have become your truth.

To live a vibrant, fulfilling, and thriving life, it’s essential to uncover, understand, and perhaps even rewrite the story you tell yourself about money.

Let’s begin by exploring what money means to you personally—what it represents and how it makes you feel. There’s no single correct answer here. For some, money symbolizes freedom, opportunity, or enjoyment. For others, it might trigger feelings of stress, insecurity, or lack of control.

But here’s the truth: money doesn’t have to carry any of these connotations.

The associations we make with money are shaped by our experiences, environment, and beliefs. Ultimately, money is just paper, metal, digital numbers, or coding on a screen.

Economic shifts, fluctuations in markets, and global events can influence both the value of money and our perception of it. But it’s essential to pause and ask ourselves:

  • What truly matters to us?
  • How does money align with our priorities?
  • How do we ensure that our money story doesn’t get in the way of who we want to be?

Often, it’s not money itself that causes problems, but the emotional associations we attach to it. These associations often reflect the value we place on money—and, more often than not, the value we place on ourselves. We’ve come to equate the amount of money we have with the value of the things we hold dear. We assume that the more we have, spend, or save, the better we will be as people.

But is it necessary to always pursue more money, growth, and success? Taking the time to reflect on what truly motivates us can be a powerful step. Understanding our personal money story within the larger context of our business and life goals may be a crucial factor in our success.
