Welcome to the money mindset hub podcast. I'm your host, Carla Townsend, and money mindset and success coach on a mission to normalize feminine wealth through empowering the minds of fierce females in business, you're in the right place if you are a female who wants to become a vibrational match to attract more wealth, freedom and abundance, but you just keep getting stuck, or there's something amiss. There's something blocking you from attracting that desired level of success and reaching your highest potential. So I'll be talking all things money mindset, energetics of money manifestation law of attraction, CEO mindset, and much, much more. Because the world needs more kind hearted women like you with deep pockets. So let's get started. Hello, and welcome back to another episode. So today I want to talk about budgets. Now I know for so many of you the word budget is going to have a negative connotation about being cheap or something like that, or you know, you don't have any money, if you've got to live on a budget, not the case. For many of you, you will also have the view that it's just a plan for your money. And that's what I like to call it, I'm going to let me put it to you straight. In my experience, working with friends and family and clients being a money coach, specifically, the financial situation never changes unless your mindset towards money changes. So it's really easy to think that, you know, maybe if I get this budget template, or this, this method, maybe that'll work. It's not the strategy, my love, it's not going to change. You can do a million different types of budgets or plans or whatever. But none of them will work unless your mindset is in a different place. So let me give you another analogy. How many times has someone that you care about said they're going on a diet, they're going on this like fitness regime? Because they need to just you know, lose weight, get fit, eat healthy? Now, how many times have they tried a new diet, because this new diet promises to give them the world promises to see them to get them results super, super quickly. And they do it for eight to 12 weeks. And then at the end of it, they go, nah, I put all the weight back on, or I'm not losing any more weight, or I just can't get motivated. Budgeting. Planning for Your money is much like a diet. You can try a million different things and a million different methods, but none of them are going to work if your mindset towards it doesn't change. And I say that with love. Because we all think well actually, I shouldn't say we all majority of us think that it's the strategy. There's the key there's the method does the quick win, there's the magic pill that's going to get us from A to B in record time and quantum leap and a collapse time and do all these amazing, incredible things. But the reality is we need to be open to the fact that one we need to acknowledge that something's amiss here. And maybe the way that we always thought the way that we always acted, it's just not serving us. And maybe we need to realize that it's not an external factor that's going to deliver you success. It's your inner, it's your inner reality, it's inside of you whether or not you really want to succeed. So any one of us can pick up a budget, write a budget, and any one of us can stick to it, if we have that frame of mind that we're actually going to go all in and do the work. Now. Same like a diet, you know, any one of us could go on these high protein, low fat diets, whatever it is, and we'll get results provided that we also have the mentality that we're in this for the long game. So much like health and fitness, when it comes to your money in the finances. It is majority mindset, like absolutely everything in life. And then 20% strategy 80% mindset 20% strategy, typically the stats that are thrown around because it's true. It's not just you know, I'm not just saying that you could go talk to any personal trainer, any nutritionist and they'll tell you the same thing. Unless you have a why like a deeper why as to why you want this outcome, why you're doing it, you will never be attached. And you'll never get to that result. So if you want that level of success, you want that amount of money in your bank, you want those opportunities, you want to collapse time you want a quantum leap, you want the success, but you just feel like you can't crack the code. You're stuck. How come everyone else knows this key formula? How come everyone has like this set proven method, you can follow someone else's method to a tee.

But you at the same time, you can then end up getting none of the same results. None of the same. Any sort of method you should take with a grain of salt and I may not as well from you know There's lots of people, yes, that's been proven. But the thing that's different is you can write a method, I can write a method for someone, I can coach someone and I can give them what you know, just a method to go from point A to point B, what's actually going to make them change is if I ensure that I make their view change, their perception change, that will then equate to changing their personal experience that will then change to that will then equate to reframing the lens that they're viewing their perceptions in. If that makes any sense. My job is not to tell you what you have to do my job is to help coach you into seeing it for yourself. So let's think about it in another another way, right? When you're working with someone when you're working with a coach, if they tell you all right, you need to do this, you have to do this, this is what you're gonna do, it's this or that. And then we go and we tell our children, no, it's this or that. Take your pitch, we're going to think about it, what sort of what sort of happens when you tell your child, you either pick this way, pick this way, this method or this method, you pick, instantly, it's resistance, unless we explain to them. So if you go this method, this is going to be x y Zed, and this is why you're going to do X Y Zed Oh, if you go this method, then you know you've got this option, this is going to give you X Y, Zed blah, blah, blah, well, what do you reckon is the best option for you? So this is where I sort of want to put it into play? No, no, I'm kind of going off on a tangent as I honestly always do. To put it back to budgeting, no method will work for you. If your mindsets not in the right place, no method will work for you. If you don't know your deeper wine, you're not really in it for the long game, and you're not really wanting to commit because your financial situation is your internal reality, just played out in your external reality. That's all it is. So we can jump from this budget to that budget to this budget to that budget. And we can still end up in the same exact same position that we are now if we are not open to new ways of thinking, if we are not held accountable. If we are not, I guess taken down the path of least resistance. And if we don't look inwards, what's the reason why you can't stick to a budget? What's the reason why you can't follow someone else's advice? Who's done thing before you that you wanting to do? Why is that because you haven't come to the reality yet that it's in you, my love, like you can do anything, you can achieve any sort of success in your life, but you need to be open to the fact that one acknowledge where you might be falling short, own it. Own that we are none of us are perfect. We are all flawed human beings in one way or another. And that's okay. It's about acknowledging that it's about being aware. And it's about doing the inner work. First, the inner work the mindset work before the strategy, or you will get stuck in the strategy for years. And that continual cycle of events will continue to happen. Much like dieting, it will happen your financial reality unless you do what's required, and you find out the root blocks. And that's my job. That's my job as a coach is to coach you into finding those for you doing the inner work to help you uncover your blocks. And then my job is to then help you clear them and move through them and remove any emotional attachment that you have to those blocks. So you can go on and go forth and create that incredible abundance, wealth, freedom, everything you want in this life, there's so much out there for you. It's got your name written all over it. But you just have to be open to the fact that maybe if you continue following the shiny object syndrome and jumping from here to there to everywhere, that it's still going to keep you stuck at the end of the day. Are you really moving? Ask yourself now? Are you really moving forward? If you keep jumping ship, you know, look at how far you've come already. If you feel like you're still stuck in that, then you my friend need accountability and you need to work with someone. I just think that it does come to a point and I've been in that point before it comes to a point where I go, You know what, I've tried to do this all myself and I just keep ending up in the same position. I need to invest in someone. So I'll follow this coach and that coach and I'll see who I resonate with. And then you know what, it's really scary. But I'm going to invest anyway. I'm going to put skin in the game. I'm going to learn from them. And I'm going to go all in I'm going to do all the exercises and I'm going to do all the inner work because that's what's going to get me there. It is scary. It is scary investing in yourself. But What's scarier is in 510 years time looking back and going I regret not just doing it I regret just jumping ship and trying to look for the new best shiny object that was out there rather than do what my gut said and my gut initially said
