Open Yourself to Receiving
Not receiving, the antidote is saying thank you. So what is it, exactly, that you're not receiving? Because as I said earlier, sometimes we have successful businesses, but we're not actually receiving. So we think that we don't have a problem receiving, but if you look at your life, you can see if this worthiness issue is popping up and not allowing you to receive. So, do you have a hard time receiving compliments? Gifts? Kindness from strangers? Do you have a hard having someone help you out with your groceries, even though your kids are melting down and you have the flu? It's okay, I got this. Where in your life do you see yourself having a hard time receiving? Because I remember in high school, this older gentleman came up to me and said, "You have such beautiful eyes." To which I said, "You have a great smile." And he said, "No. "You never return a compliment with a compliment." Obviously, it's disingenuous. But more than that, I completely blocked the flow of giving and receiving.
I interrupted it because I couldn't hold my own self-worth, and in not holding my own self-worth, I blocked him from the joy of giving it. He came up and tried to give me something, and instead of allowing him to have the joy of giving, I took my own self-interest and gave him a disingenuous compliment in return. Now, he has to either receive something that he knows isn't the truth, or walk away feeling like, that didn't really have an even exchange. There was an imbalance there. Nobody got anything from that. He didn't get the joy from giving, and I didn't get the compliment. And when it happens with money, and you block the money, you don't even get the money, which is the very thing that we needed. But more than that, that money that you should've had was money that was gonna go to develop the gifts and talents in you to become the best person so that you can begin to give that to the world. You're blocking the whole chain of giving and receiving with the imbalance. Now, what should've happened, is I should have said, thank you. And no matter what insecurities rise up in me, no matter how I feel, I get to hold that. It's not his responsibility to deal with my issues. I don't get to block his joy of giving because of my insecurities, I have to sit on that. And that means I don't say, thank you, but. Thank you, but my eyes are really red today. Thank you, but it's just because my parents both have blue eyes. Just thank you. No thank you, but. Just, thank you, I sit with my own things, I look at that and say, what am I feeling, I can deal with this, and then I practice gratitude. Because when I can get to the place where I can say thank you, and not have the thank you, but, then I can begin to look and say, wow, even if it's internal, thank you for taking the time to come over here and give something to me. For finding me valuable enough to say something that you didn't have to say. Thank you for being that person to me. Thank you for seeing me. The gratitude is what begins to open you up to that flow of giving and receiving. So, in the workbook. When do you find it hard to receive? Because that's gonna begin to show you if you're blocked down, because the not receiving isn't just about the money. It's about our own self-worth and our own self-esteem. And where are you breaking the flow of an even exchange? Who's trying to give you money, and before they even write the check, you're like, oh you know what, actually, I have a special today. Actually, that's actually 20% off. And write out why you value your product or service. Because we're working on raising the value and seeing, what am I giving? Am I giving just a photo? Am I giving service? Am I giving a piece of myself? Am I giving encouragement? What's the value in what you're giving? Because there's always an even exchange. Giving and receiving is even. One's not better, one's not worse.

OMG!!! You two are amazing!!! I am so grateful for all of your insight, and preparation that you have shared with us, wow!!! Lucky me, to have come across such an informative talk. You brought a human element to what it's like to be an artist. Sharing your ups and downs but always forging forward to be the best that you can be, because that's what your heart longs for, and what you were put on this plant to accomplish and share with the world. I've been a professional photographer for 30 years, and feel so fortunate for the life I've been given. No matter how long you've been doing photography, or been successful, these two wonderful women help to analyze the big picture, which is so insightful. Through their observations, hard work, determination and belief they have forged forward and are sharing their knowledge with us. I'm a spender and this came at the perfect time, as I'm taking time to observe my patterns. Thank you so much for this stellar talk!

This was one of the best entrepreneur courses I've ever taken, not just on Creative Live, but pretty much anywhere. This course doesn't deal with the nitty gritty technical details of entrepreneurship. It doesn't teach you how to build a business plan, create a marketing plan, or how to actual run your business for success. There are literally thousands of courses and coaches that teach this. What this course EXCELS at is teaching you the psychology of what it takes to get past your mental and emotional blockages around wealth, entrepreneurship, and life in general. I literally just finished the course and am watching it for a second time because it's so good and is exactly what I need right now to get over my own emotional and psychological roadblocks to wealth. The negative reviews are most likely from people who didn't understand this was going to be about the inner game needed to succeed in business. If you're lacking the emotional or psychological empowerment to succeed, if you keep procrastinating on those most important business endeavors, or if you have no idea what's going on inside but you're not as wealthy as you want to be, this is the course for you!

This course came at exactly the time that I needed it! : ) I have been learning from a finance coach at my church that money isn't bad--it's the LOVE of money that's bad and the root of all evil. I've been learning over the last few months that money is a tool and can be used for good and this course just re-confirmed all of that. It's made me feel more confident and comfortable about the steps I've been recently taking to increase my pricing and makes me feel more comfortable with earning money, period. It is great for breaking down the false misconceptions you might have about money and is recommended for anyone struggling to price themselves, who doubt their worth or who just need (like I did) that extra step of confirmation that you're moving in the right direction. I loved this course so much I purchased it. Best $59 ever spent! (Seriously?! $59? I feel like I'm stealing at that price! I felt like, "How can I NOT purchase this investment towards my financial future?") Money well spent. The workbook is an added bonus too! :)
