Last year, inside the invite-only mastermind I ran for long-term clients, Leveraged, we talked about your money blueprint and what it looks like to be in a “healthy” and “unhealthy” expression of this relationship with your money.
Because something I’ve seen after supporting clients over the last 6 ½ years to go from $0 to $100k, $250k, $500k, $800k, and million dollar years is it’s not only about the money you make but also how you think about and what you do with that money that matters for your financial version of success and long-term wealth.
Your “healthy” expression of your money blueprint is when you’re operating from an abundant mindset and making financial decisions that serve your values and your decided combination of experiencing your cash and being rich now and leveraging it to be rich later (aka build wealth).
Your “unhealthy” expression is usually based in fear, lack, scarcity, not feeling enough, or being unclear of your financial values and making choices based on your default money blueprint you learned growing up.
When people start taking home consistent income from their business, it’s normal to have the “unhealthy” expression of your money blueprint show up since this is a new experience and outside your previous income set point.
I often see the pendulum swing in one of two ways in the “unhealthy” expression of your money blueprint:
1. Getting into a “fuck it’” or “I deserve it” mindset and being super spend-happy and making larger bank deposits becomes all about the shopping sprees and lifestyle money can buy.
You DO deserve it, but when this mindset is coming from a place of not feeling enough and trying to prove or keep up, scarcity, or fear, this can become a business treadmill or “golden handcuffs” that becomes more self-sabotage than self-care and is often followed by a feeling of guilt or still feel lack and not having enough.
This can keep you feeling like you’re always chasing more, always need to do or work more, or like you’re stuck because you need the money to pay all the bills for all the upgrades.
2. Or, the pendulum can swing the other way to a hoarding mentality that sounds like: “I don't want to spend a dime. I want to save it all for a rainy day or invest everything for later”.
Saving and investing ARE your friends if you want to build wealth, and this extreme holding on to money tends to also be driven by scarcity and fear and prevents you from enjoying your money in the now.
This can also have you feeling like there’s never enough even if you’re sitting on stacks of cash and can also keep you from integrating your next-level money mindset and identity and even making the kind of choices and investments that allow you to bring in even more money.
You might fall into one camp or the other when you’re in an “unhealthy” expression of your money blueprint, and many people find themselves oscillating back and forth in this pendulum swing.
If you used to be super tight on cash before it started flowing through your business, maybe a sudden bump in the road sends you on a spending spree as a way to self-soothe the feeling of scarcity.
Or maybe that same money story of being tight on cash kicks up your fear about not having enough, so as soon as you start making extra money, you save and hoard because you never want to be in that place again.
What’s tricky here is on the surface, neither of these swings are bad or wrong.
Spending when you have money is a-ok and a great way to enjoy the fruits of your labor, just like saving and investing is a beautiful way to allow your money to compound so you can be rich later.
It’s what drives these actions in either direction - and the often extreme nature at the expense of the other (spending at the expense of investing, investing at the expense of spending now) - comes from trying to soothe or create safety instead of meeting values and desires.
The difference isn’t the action - to spend or save - it’s coming from your “healthy” expression of your money blueprint, which looks like being clear and intentional of your desire and combination for rich (money now) and wealth (money later) and leveraging your money in a way that honors your values - not your fears.
And, understanding your money blueprint and relationship to money in your “unhealthy” and “healthy” expression makes all the difference and gives you the awareness and tools to think and make decisions that serve *your* blueprint and version of financial success.
Which way does the pendulum swing for you when you’re in an “unhealthy” expression of your money blueprint?
My answer: I tend to swing to the ‘hoarding and save it all’ side when fear and scarcity are running the show. And, it’s so helpful for me to know this, so I know what side needs a little attention and love to stay in that healthy expression of my money blueprint to enjoy being rich now and later!
