As women business owners and entrepreneurs, we have many great strengths: great communication skills; creative ides; leadership ability; the ability to influence and empower many people; just to mention a few. Sometimes, however, there may be some basic points of resistance that come from within, whether through learned behavior, lack of belief, or listening to the outside voices that keep us from promoting ourselves and dominating an industry. They may cause doubt that you can have success and make lots of money.

Maybe you, like I did, learned a few negative things about money. Perhaps it was that money is the root of all evil. Or that rich people are bad or stingy or not compassionate. You may even believe that you should not have prosperity, because loved ones and friends might feel bad.

Maybe you were programmed to think lack and limitation. So you may unconsciously hold yourself back from fully realizing your dreams of a successful business.

For women entrepreneurs in business in the 21st century, now is time to debunk some myths about money and prosperity!

First: It is OK to be wealthy and prosperous. As an adult, you no longer have to believe otherwise.

Second: Give yourself permission to have a way of life where you can live in balance with everything and everyone in your environment. You can have your money work for you instead of you having to work hard for your money.

Third: Money can mean freedom and independence. You do not have to depend on someone else to take care of you. You take care of yourself!

Fourth: Money allows you the ability to do great good. You can only give to your favorite charity, support an education for your child or help others if you are financially able.

Fifth: Money can be great for your own mental and spiritual health. Worry about lack of money can be a burden mentally and physically and causes the break-up of many relationships.

Sixth: It means the opportunity to carry out your great plans and to fulfill your great dreams. Is that not one of the reasons you wanted to have your own business? You realized somewhere in your journey that you could not have the things you wanted for yourself and your family by working for someone else.

Seventh: The desire to make and have money is natural. Most people desire money for what it can do. Having money is important. Without it, you can do nothing.

Eighth: Money carries with it an obligation to use it wisely and to give back. It should not be hoarded. Sage financial advice is a must!

Developing the correct mindset about making money and whether you deserve prosperity are necessary steps toward creating a thriving business and seeing massive wealth and success. Intentionally become aware of your thoughts with these eight points and begin to experience some important changes.
