In this episode, we explore why many women entrepreneurs express doubt about their abilities with math or business and how these limiting beliefs hold them back.
We uncover common limiting beliefs, such as "I'm not a numbers person," "I'm better at the creative side," or "I can't handle the pressure of financial decisions," and discuss how these thoughts often lead to imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and missed opportunities in business growth.
But here’s the good news: these beliefs are learned, and they can be unlearned. We discuss how to identify these thoughts, understand their origins, and recognize their impact on decision-making and confidence. By challenging the validity of these beliefs and reframing them with empowering alternatives like “I can learn financial skills” or “I don’t need to be perfect to succeed,” women can break free from these mental barriers.
We also share practical tips to build financial confidence, such as starting with small steps like tracking expenses, taking financial literacy workshops, and celebrating small wins. By focusing on progress rather than perfection, women can gradually develop a healthier relationship with business finances.
The episode includes inspiring stories of women entrepreneurs who’ve overcome their limiting beliefs, proving that it’s never too late to embrace financial and business skills. Finally, we emphasize the importance of self-compassion, surrounding yourself with supportive communities, and regularly reflecting on growth to ensure these new beliefs become part of your mindset.
Whether you’ve ever doubted your business skills or simply want to feel more confident in your financial decisions, this episode is here to remind you: you’re more than capable of mastering the tools you need to thrive.
