To succeed in business, you will also need to heal your relationship with money and be prepared to ask for money.

Sometimes people are advised to think positively to create success and apply the law of attraction to their situation if they are not getting results. This can cause people to feel discouraged and ashamed if they are not getting results. Perhaps, they may need to heal their money traumas instead of thinking positive.

The same wounds that gave them sensitivity to be a healer and put them on their life purpose may also stop them from asking for money, as they don’t want to appear powerful like people who caused the wounds. Money represents power, and, if they had a painful relationship with people in power, it will be difficult to ask for money. Unless we heal the split between money and power, they will hesitate to charge money and be rich and powerful like the people who hurt them.

If people have survived traumas and they are in a room full of people where their belonging needs are met and they are presented with ridiculous deadlines such as ‘Today is the only day to get 2k of this awesome program,’ I would say, “Think twice.” At other times, people are also wanting to be rescued and signing up for something out of desperation because they are told ‘Today is the only day’ at one of those 30k level investment programs events isn’t always coming from a grounded place.

Having been raised in a wealthy family and experiencing a lot of dysfunction, I know no amount of money can take away the pain of growing up in a dysfunctional family. People from wealthy dysfunctional families can go in two directions. They, too, can become super wealthy and abuse the power money gives them to hurt others in a dysfunctional world. Or they can be the way I used to be (until I healed my relationship with money) and not want to have anything to do with money.

I feel embarrassed to admit, but I had no relationship with money. I focused on surviving most of the time. I surrounded myself with people who were not wealthy, for it made me feel safe. I related more to people who didn’t have money. I didn’t look at people’s character; their lack of money made me feel we had something in common. When I was hurt by people who didn’t have money, it was a huge learning experience. I finally had a breakthrough with my relationship with money.

Money has nothing to do with who people are. There are good rich people and there are bad rich people, and the same goes for people without wealth.

What I have learnt is our undealt with emotional stuff around money can hurt our relationship with money and our ability to charge for our gifts handsomely.
