How to shift a scarcity mindset

I guarantee that the scarcity mindset will show up in your business at some stage.  It’s a trap that we all fall into and one that stops us moving forward into our full potential.   A scarcity mindset is understandable because it’s usually based around making decisions which will have an impact on the future.  We are worried about ‘How much will this cost?’ ‘Will this work?’ ‘‘There isn’t enough time, money or resource’, ‘Clients won’t pay me what I’m worth’.  I must have experienced them all!   I think many of[...]

Is this getting in the way?

Running my own business has brought up a LOT of entrepreneurial fear! In the early days, when I left my corporate job, I worried about everything - whether I would ever work again, running out of money, finding enough clients, giving talks, what others would think.
