The Words That Keep You Broke (And What to Say Instead)

The Words That Keep You Broke (And What to Say Instead)

May 21, 20253 min read

Alright, queen—this one might sting a little, but it’s served with love (and maybe a splash of sauvignon and sass).

I’ve got a truth bomb for you, and it’s laced with experience, not judgment.

The most expensive thing in your life right now? Not your rent. Not your latest Kmart “just popped in for one thing” spree. Not even that coaching course you signed up for… but haven’t touched.

It’s your words.

Yep, the teeny, sneaky, off-the-cuff things you say to yourself every single day are costing you clients, confidence, and cold hard cash.

You’ve got the dream. The Pinterest board full of quotes. The secret screenshots of women doing what you want to be doing. The journal entries where you wrote “$10K month” like it was already done.

And yet? You’re still telling yourself: - “I don’t have the money.” - “I just need to think about it.” - “It’s not the right time.” - “I’ll reach out when I’m ready.” - “I’m taking it slow.” - “I’ll get back to her… eventually.”

Sound familiar?

Here’s the kicker: your words shape your world. You don’t get what you want, babe—you get what you believe. And the universe is eavesdropping 24/7.

You will never out-earn your self-image.

If you see yourself as stuck, small, unsure, or "not ready yet," your bank account, calendar, and client list will reflect that.

But flip the script? And your whole life changes.

Let’s do some maths (don’t worry, I’ll make it quick and juicy):

1. Write down your income goal for the month. 2. Now write down how much your biz actually made last month. Be honest—even if it’s $0. 3. Multiply the gap by 12. For example:    - $10,000 goal – $0 actual = $10,000 x 12 = $120,000    - $20,000 goal – $0 actual = $20,000 x 12 = $240,000

That’s what it’s costing you every year not to change.

So what’s the new script? Try these: - “I always find the money for what matters.” - “Now is the perfect time.” - “I’m done playing small.” - “This is the year I build wealth on purpose.” - “My dream is urgent and non-negotiable.”

Let that version of you—the bold, resourceful, relentless version—make the next move. She’s already in there, waiting to drive.

So here’s what I want you to do next:

If you’ve read this far, it’s not by accident. You’re ready.

Ready to stop playing tug-of-war with your potential. Ready to take just one powerful step toward the business and life you’ve dreamed of for far too long.

I want you to book a Clarity Call with me.

No fluff. No pressure. Just the truth about where you're at and what you need to do next.

Because here’s the real cost: Another year of nothing changes if nothing changes.
