Did you know there are only 14 self-made women billionaires out of 1,100 on the planet?
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time we had some more! The interesting observation I had that occurred to me as I was looking at their names: Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, Debbie Fields, Meg Whitman, Estee Lauder…what they did was THINK BIG.
You see, the research I’ve done on women and money has shown me a few obstacles may be holding some women back:
1. Some women operate in a SURVIVAL-TYPE MODE. Instead of thinking big and asking for more from the Universe, some think too small. Money cannot be manifested when we are coming from fear or thinking small because there is no confidence. Whether you think you will or think you won’t, you’re right! (Just like Napoleon Hill and Henry Ford said in Think and Grow Rich!)
Did you know China has 7 self-made women billionaires? When asked why they have more, the article said they THINK BIGGER! Being ambitious and setting high goals is key.
2. Another problem that research has identified is that apparently some women don’t know their worth. In a survey of men and women executives, men knew how much more of a raise to ask for, but the women didn’t. When asked why, the women responded, they didn’t know what they were worth! Wow! Now there’s an issue for us to explore and change, that will greatly impact their wealth.
3. Some women tell me they don’t feel worthy or deserving of wealth. I’m not sure why that is, but it could be tied to spiritual beliefs (believe you can’t be spiritual and rich) or their upbringing (nice girls don’t deal with money) or something else. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one!
When Martha Stewart or Debbie Fields made their fortunes, it was NOT from having some new technology like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs. They baked cookies and cooked food, something almost everyone can do!
What was different? They took something basic and made it the best they could, then THOUGHT BIG, expanded and took it national and international. That’s it.
There was nothing that couldn’t have been done by you or me. It’s all how we approach money, what we BELIEVE is possible, and what action we take to make it happen!
This week, take action on something you’ve been thinking about but haven’t done anything about.
Even one small step like make a phone call, research an idea, or read a book about it. Do something to TAKE ACTION on your plan for financial freedom and above all else, BELIEVE you can have what you want! Now make it happen!
