Need More Money, Build Your Self Worth

The relationship between money and self worth seems to be popular topic.  I for one am very excited.  It is a message that I have been sharing for over 12 years as a coach and successful entrepreneur. I learned this on a very personal level over 20 years ago.

Today the topic came on the Oprah Show with her guest Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. Sarah talked about her financial struggles and mistakes she has made over the years.  When she came to terms with her truth she realized her issue was lack of self worth and her need to please for approval.

“I had it all and I blew it”

“I look back at that girl 25 years ago and I see a girl who didn’t know who she was.”  “She had it all and didn’t know it”  “She didn’t know what a great girl she is”  “I realize now I had it all and I blew it.”

When asked what she would say to the girl in her wedding dress 25 years ago she said:

“If I could talk to her I would tell her you are a great girl, just know it”

Suze Orman was asked to come in and help Sarah deal with her dire financial situation.  The Duchess has experiences several job losses in the past few years an apparently has no money.  Now I am not a personal fan favorite of Suze Orman but I totally agree with what she had to say

“Money is NEVER the problem” If you are having money problems you are making choices that aren’t right for you and it is showing up in your money.

Money or the lack of it is not your problem it is symptom of a bigger, deeper issue.  That issue is self worth, your feeling about yourself.  It stuck me on such a personal level as the Duchess of York sincerely and desperately looked at Suze and desperately asked

“How do I get self worth?  Tell me; please tell me how to I get that?”

Oprah didn’t show the answer to that question so I am going to give it to you right now.

You are great, you have value and you are important.  KNOW IT!  If you desire or require a satisfying, vibrant financial life implement the steps below.

Know Your Self Worth

Now matter what your personal or financial situation you have value because you exist.  You are important and you have many gifts and talents to share with yourself and the world.  Take the time to get to know what those gifts are.  You can begin by making a list of 50 gifts that you personally possess. Those talents can be shared but to do that you need to be aware of them.

Acknowledge What You Do Well Every Day

Make it your daily commitment to write daily five things that you did well during the day.  Don’t judge the value of what you did or how “exciting” or worthwhile the task was.  Just record it as a personal “pat on the back” for a job well done. The key to success and financial freedom is to build your self esteem.

Keep a Gratitude Journal

That saddest thing about low self worth is that you are unable to see or accept what you do have.  You tend to focus on things outside of you and what you want.  When you do that you are saying you don’t have anything of value feeding the vicious cycle of low self esteem.  Keep a gratitude journal.  Take the time daily to record what the day gave you.  Acknowledge what happened that you could be grateful for.  You could give thanks for your heath, your relationships.  A great way to attract more money is to be grateful for the money that you do have.
