Is the Glass Half Empty or Half Full?

It’s almost the end of the day! I say that with a crooked smile and a hint of up-to-no-goodness because once I scoop the teenager up from school, I will be in official chill mode, with a glass of wine in hand. Not that the day has been overly demanding, but seriously, who doesn’t enjoy a nice deep full-bodied red wine?

Speaking of glass…

If you saw a glass with liquid reaching its midpoint, would you say it is half empty or half full? Yes, this question has been posed throughout time. Seemingly, the rhetorical question of optimism versus pessimism eludes to an obvious answer of half full, right?

Now ask me the same question.

Being a woman of faith and having a reasonably high outlook on life, I will simply say, there’s room for some more. Keep pouring!

Certainly, you can appreciate the purpose of the question being a demonstration of how situations can be viewed from various angles. Is this a two-dimensional matter of either/or, or do you allow yourself the freedom of a multidimensional world of possibility?

Let’s talk a little business for a second. When looking at entrepreneurship in the online space, many still have a difficult time grasping the ability to make an abundant living online. I’ve encountered many skeptics who openly shun this idea, believing it to be the talk of some pyramid-scheme. To a small degree, I can see how the idea is still evolving as making a career, earning money online is still a relatively new concept. However, in this microwave age, we are seeing a revolution of innovation become commonplace in less than a few years. For example, the iPhone is celebrating its ten-year anniversary. It has only been around 10 years, and it represents technology that many cannot imagine business or even life without.

Let me pose a question for you:

When it comes to plans and goals for your future from a financial point of view, is your glass half full or half empty?

I’m sure you’ve heard one or more of these phrases recently:

“Start earning $5K/month in your business.”

“Are you ready to start hitting consistent 5-figure months in your online business?” (That’s $10K-$99K, for the record…)

“Scale your business to 6- and 7-figures.”

Sounds a bit get rich-quickish, huh?

Some things sound too good to be true - and it very well could be at times - but I know an intelligent, professional woman like you can sift the wheat from the tares. (You know what it is and what it ain’t!)

So, let’s look at this more carefully:

$5K/month...are you somewhere in that ballpark now or have you ever been in your traditional career? Most have hit this mark or have been somewhere close to it.
5-figure months, once you learn systems and strategies, is a piece of cake...no lie.
If you’re making consistent 5-figure months, you will naturally land in 6-figure annual income. That’s a no-brainer, huh?

The numbers don’t look so insurmountable now, do they?

I credit myself as being a smooth, savvy sister, and that’s why I have such a great attraction to serving intelligent, goal-oriented female entrepreneurs who know what they want and are not afraid to go after it. I know my numbers, and numbers don’t lie.

So, let me reiterate my question:

When it comes to your plans and goals for your future from a financial point of view, is your glass half full or half empty?

Do you fully believe in your business and the transformation it offers? Of course, you do.

Do you believe you will be well compensated for the value of what you offer? Hmm...that’s the greater concern.

Now comes the inner work.

Our wealth consciousness and money mindset are both directly related to how we deem money, wealth, abundance, and success, and how we access it.

Wealth Consciousness - the awareness of abundance and how to access and create it. This expands far beyond money.

Money Mindset – how we view money, based on our experiences and what we’ve been taught.

Both wealth consciousness and a right money mindset are needed for the journey of success.

If you don’t believe you can attain valuable time with your family while having a profitable business, you won’t.

If you don’t believe you can earn sustainable income through your business, you can’t.

If you feel undeserving of earning a 6-figure income, you truly won’t.

So how do we break past barriers and step into the fulfillment and abundance that our hearts believe we should embrace?

Let me offer an exercise for you. A visualization for your future reference. You can add this to your sacred thinking and writing space...just for you.

By this time next year, how much would your realistically like to consistently earn each month?
How would that make you feel?
What will you do once you see it coming in consistently?
How would this impact your life? Your routine? Your family? Your outlook on life?

Begin on the inside to create intentional beliefs of abundance. Start to see yourself surrounded by your beliefs. Speak those beliefs. Walk in those beliefs and begin to see them manifest in your business as well as in your personal life. Begin to see your cup running over!
