What fear of being poor really showed me

February 23, 2016 By

It’s a funny thing this money business (sometimes feels like monkey business), how is your money story supporting or destroying you?

Did you even realize you had one? You do! Mine was to hide my money (and sometimes it still is). I would hide it so that I’d have it. Even my close friends knew that I had a secret $20.00 hidden in my wallet. I called it my fail-safe but what it really was (only I didn’t know it then) was my fear of being poor.

See if I had the $20.00 then I wasn’t poor. BUT I couldn’t just have it in my wallet or I’d risk spending it if I saw it (oh the horrors) so I had to hide it. You are probably thinking “isn’t money there to spend” and you would be correct.

Holding Dollarsonto money like I was doing was only perpetuating my fear of not having enough. I was afraid to spend it because I was afraid it wouldn’t come back. I was in a lack mentality, a fear mentality and that mentality is a negative mentality.

This month I’ve been talking a lot about money, I even did a free webinar training series called The 5 Key Money Areas to help others who struggle with money be able to see where their gaps are so that they can let go and prosper.

Once I realized my negative mindset, I was able to free myself from the lack feelings and the fears. You will too. Listen to the free trainings, they are short, 10 minutes each and take one small action toward creating that prosperously positive mindset, you won’t be sorry that you did!

Try this superior edge to really succeed in business

February 22, 2016 By

Here we are the last week in February, wowwee!! How has your month gone? One thing that I have been hearing this month is that it’s “hard to make money” or “I keep trying to make more but nothing is working”.

It’s like the little train – you have probably heard it before, if you think you can, you can and if you think you can’t you can’t so either get on with it or get over it.

What I mean by this is first determine if you even want to do what it is you are thinking you can’t do – because maybe you don’t even want to do it – so move on. Or get over it and just do it.

Mountain Top

It is really quite simple, you do have to do the work, you have to take the action. I wish I could tell you that waving a magic wand would do it but truthfully it’s much more than that. By taking the action you gain so much. In order to have a successful, rewarding, fulfilling life/business, you have to do the work; you have to go through the tough times in order to reach the top. Climbing Mt. Everest wouldn’t be so rewarding if it were easy.

Maybe you aren’t climbing Mt. Everest but it might feel like that and if it does and if you aren’t focusing positively on where you are going, could it be that you don’t even want to be going there? Not everyone wants to climb Mt. Everest, I know I don’t but I do want to be the best I can be at what I’m choosing to do.

What steps will you take to reach your peak? What mindset shifts will you make?

If you would like a superior edge to succeed in business, listen now to my free webinar training on mindset. It’s one of The 5 Key Money Areas and one that can either make or break your success in business and also in life.

Anyone can train to be a gladiator. What marks you out is having the mindset of a champion — Manu Bennett

Are you sensational at making something successful?

February 20, 2016 By

Well it’s Saturday.  And it’s also Day 20 meaning Blog 20! I’m just going to take a moment and tell you (myself really) how proud I am of me.

Yay me! Yup, I said it, I am proud of me. I have been consistent with my blogging and I have been consistent with my theme this month of more money because I know I want more and I know so do you.

Yay me

  • Have you ever done something that you are proud of?
  • Was it something that you were maybe hesitant to do in the first place but then so glad you did it?
  • What were the feelings you experienced?
  • What happened to you because you did what it was you were hesitant to do?

I say this all the time, you may even have heard me say it here, it’s because we have the courage/determination/drive to take on something that we are less than certain of that we find the glory.

So please share your glory stories (you can also share the gory stories =), I’d love to hear them and I know my readers would as well. And as always, if you’d like to keep them private, email me personally at kim@kimravida.com.

While you are at it, pat yourself on the back for creating an opportunity!

How to make the results you want happen

February 19, 2016 By

I saw a Twitter post recently, that said: “Your Attitude Determines Your Direction” and I couldn’t agree more.

Your mindset is your attitude. If you have a winning mindset, guess what? You will win. If you have a losing mindset, well, you will lose.

When it comes to business (and heck, everything) if you aren’t in a winning mindset why are you even in the game? When it comes to being in business and making money, your mindset will make or break you.dreamstime_xs_51541207

My 6th and final free training in The 5 Key Money Areas webinar series is about mindset. You’ll learn how your mindset can transform your results and you’ll answer several questions that will help you with your mindset now.

Listen now and then come back to share your new winning mindset and the one thing you are going to do that will support your new mindset. Can’t wait to hear it! If you’d rather email me privately, please do so at kim@kimravida.com

Because no matter what, your mindset will determine your direction!

It’s one of the amazing things about ourselves

February 17, 2016 By

Being empowered is what I’m talking about!

Did you know the opposite is forbid? That’s just horrifying to me. Empowered is independence. It’s freedom, positive sense of self. It’s feeling an accomplished state of self-responsibility and self-determination.  How beautiful is that?

Well it’s also the subject of my next training in the training series 5 Key Money Areas, are you ready to find out?  I hope so, listen here then pop back to share (or email me personally at kim@kimravida.com) just how empowered you feel – or if you aren’t feeling empowered just yet, what is taking you away from being empowered?

The secret is only you can empower yourself, so start now.

As a business owner, it is important for you to empower yourself and others, especially your team, clients and other people who come into contact with you.  Tell me, where are you excelling or where are you falling down here?

What valuable opportunities are you actually making for yourself?

February 16, 2016 By

My blog yesterday was about how action is the key to success. It was in regards to money (one of my favorite subjects if you haven’t already guessed =).

As a business owner it is important to be in action in many areas of your business. I recently committed to doing a month long blog challenge; you may know this if you read my blog. It’s posting a blog a day (now that’s a lot of action). Did I mention that I was blogging 1-2 times a month before this?

At first I wasn’t sure I wanted to do it but I said yes in spite of not being sure. And boy am I glad I did. I wanted to share with you what has happened for me because I decided to participate and take an act every day toward my results.

How we do one thing is how we do everything

How we do one thing is how we do everything, I was able to use the steps I outlined in my article yesterday “An awesome way to be powerful in making money” because the steps applied to my action on blogging daily and away I went.

Here is what I learned:

  • I am more disciplined than I was giving myself credit for.
  • It’s easier than I had thought.
  • How to have fun with this process.
  • To navigate in WordPress (I didn’t do my own posting before).
  • How to link back to previous articles.
  • To create images to share on my blog posts.
  • Why it’s important to create intriguing titles.

The really amazing part though is how much more confidence I have had with myself.  AND there is still two weeks to go!  Imagine what will happen for me in the next two weeks.  I can’t wait.

Have you ever taken an action that you learned more from than you thought you would? I would love to hear what happened for you. Feel free to post here or email me privately at kim@kimravida.com to share.

An awesome way to be powerful in making more money

February 15, 2016 By

Action is the key to success.

If you are not taking regular money actions, you are missing out on a powerful way to make more money.  And as a business owner, I know that you want to make more money.

How to Get What You Want clipboard of steps and instructions as a to-do list for getting your desire or goal - dream, plan, do it

Are you sticking your head in the sand when it comes to managing your money?  If you aren’t reaching your money goals and getting the income/financial results you want, you aren’t taking powerful money actions.  So what do you do in order to do that?

  1. Determine your #1 money goal and write it down. Example:  I want to make $100,00 this year.
  2. Figure out the steps you need to take in order to reach your end result. Steps might include: I will track my income. I will pay my bills on time. I will commit to a weekly money date.
  3. Create a step-by-step plan (schedule) for each of these steps. Using what you come up with from #2, layout the exact steps you will take and then schedule them to be done. Using the examples from #2: I will track my income daily; I will pay my bills on the 10th of each month; I will have my money date every Friday at 3:00pm.

By focusing on what you want and then scheduling them to be done, it ensures that you will take action to reach your results.  Once you get into action, you get into momentum which moves you forward and has you seeing results.  Remember the saying a body in motion stays in motion?  That will be you!

Here is to your taking actions and attaining your results!  If you haven’t listened to training #4 on action of my free webinar training series, listen now.

I would love to hear your thoughts and what you plan to do for your success.  Feel free to post here or email me personally at kim@kimravida.com to share.

What will make you motivated toward success?

February 14, 2016 By

I’m motivated by quotes. When I write my monthly ezine I love to find quotes that go with what I am writing about and I also like to find quotes and use those to motivate my writing.

Today’s quote:

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream” C.S. Lewis.

Click To Tweet

It is for those of you who have said “I can’t do that, I’m too old.” We are never too old.

Please don’t let that stop you. Imagine if you were to start right now to set a new goal or on your dream?

  • What would that feel like?
  • What would happen for you because you did start?
  • How would you grow?
  • What would you experience?

The answers are unlimited, there is so much you would experience. Go forth and do what you want to do, realize your dreams and know that you are never to old for anything.

Please share with me your dream either here or privately at kim@kimravida.com.

I know you have it in you to go for it!

What will make you awesome in your business?

February 13, 2016 By

AZI spent last week in Tuscon, AZ where it was warm. I love the heat and being from New England where it is quite cold this time of year it was a welcome break. I was there to attend a training workshop. It was fun to get out of my office and to be with other like-minded business owners.

I always come home feeling refreshed and ready to get started. When I travel for business I always set an intention for what I want to get out of the trip and what one thing I want to change when I return.

One of my intentions for this trip was to spend time with the high earners because I want to up-level my business and in order to do that I need to up-level myself. Business is about making money and in order to do that I need to continuously make changes to myself and how I do things.

Being with other successful business owner gives me the space to think bigger and think differently as well as to renew what I desire in my business.  I learn by being there and I come back to my office energized and ready to take my business to the next level. It is always exciting to come back and get started on the next phase of my business.

Do these two things if you want to make more money.

February 11, 2016 By

financial freedomDid you think I was going to say forgiveness and boundaries?  Probably not.

When it comes to making more money, why is it important to forgive?  Often, when it comes to money you may not recognize that you may need to forgive in order to move forward.  It’s important to recognize that your relationship with money was formed by what you grew up with.  If you ever heard ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ or ‘you have to work hard to make money’ you more than likely were imprinted with someone else’s beliefs that you took on for your own.  And more often than not you also created some of your own beliefs that are getting in your way of financial success.

Forgiveness is important when it comes to making more money.

Beliefs that we have and operate by that aren’t our own (and here is the shocker, sometimes we don’t even know that isn’t how we feel until we dig a little deeper), have the unseen power to hold us back from realizing our potential.

Last week I began a 6 series free webinar training on 5 Key Money Areas in order to help you eliminate the gaps that could be holding you back from making more money.  Click here to listen to the forgiveness training to have a clearer understanding about how forgiveness can help you create a new family money legacy for yourself and the people who are important to you.

The area of boundaries is also key to your financial success because boundaries can be road blocks that you have placed on yourself or they can be solid supports that you use to honor yourself.  If you often feel uncomfortable discussing money or have not substantially increased your income over the past year, you could have a boundary issue.  A lot of small business owners have this problem.  It’s important for you to value yourself while honoring others so that you make and keep more money.  In this webinar training you are going to learn all about boundaries and how to close the gaps you may have.  Click here to listen to how you can do just that!

Click here first to listen to the Forgiveness Training and then listen to the one on Boundaries.

Boundaries can be road blocks or solid supports, which are yours?
