There’s a misconception out there that only the people who are down and out struggle with their money mindset. I couldn’t disagree with that more – very successful people also feel the same fear. In fact, the other day, I received an DM from a young, super successful woman on Instagram. (By the way, I love getting messages and questions from you so feel free to send them my way @chriswharder).   This 24-year-old woman shared how while she was presently super successful, she was terrified of being successful and having it ripped away. See, when she was younger (age 14) her father lost his job and to make ends meet she ended up having to work 5-7 jobs to keep the household afloat. Can anyone relate to this? I know I can. Following are the five tips I shared with this woman to help her work through and manage her fear:   It’s better to have something to begin with then to never get it in the first place. It’s good to have a healthy fear so you keep working hard. Don’t see it as fear, see it as urgency. Be present. Live in the now. You’re doing great – enjoy it! Stop worrying about something in the future that may or may not happen (hint: it probably won’t). Your abundance that you have right now is because you had the talent to create it. You can’t lose that ability to create more of it!   “It’s not your current assets that make you rich. It’s your ability to create wealth at any time.”   Hire a coach to help you keep the right perspective and keep growing. Whether it’s one on one or a mastermind, up-level your tribe!   Thanks so much again to this woman (who knows who she is) for sharing your story. You’ve helped so many others and helped me turn it into an incredible episode in the process. I can’t wait to hear who else has a similar story – be sure to share with me on IG!     In This Episode We Talk about:   Money mindset One listener’s fear of losing it all Chris’ five tips to move through fear Resources: Aligned Enrollment is OPEN but closes Thursday, Sept. 27!

I’m fresh off a mastermind call with my closest sister friends and I’ve come to the realization that it’s OK to be a walking, breathing contradiction. Typically, when it comes to being in alignment, we’ve always talked about lining it up with our true purpose or highest potential. While I still believe this is a part of it, I also think a bigger part of it is being aligned with your truth in the present moment.   In order to feel this “truth” though you have to sometimes be out of alignment and feel those feelings, too. Sometimes this means feelings of darkness and ugliness or worry and insecurity. It’s super important though that we not stay in these feelings too long. Acknowledge them and that you feel out of alignment, and make the conscious choice to leave that dark place (or whatever emotion you’re feeling) when the time is right. Remember that this is all a part of the human experience and determine if there is something you could do to make yourself feel better.   Admittedly, I’m in a bit of a dark season right now. I have a ton of amazing things happening in my life now, but there’s this nagging voice in the back of my head that tells me I need to set some more goals and accomplish more. I’m in a season where I need to find self-worthiness without having a ton of goals to prove that I am. Can anyone relate?   Have I navigated my way through this particular season yet? No – I’m still working through it. So, right now I’m giving myself grace and allowing myself to feel all the feels. I’m choosing healthy outlets such as walks, nourishing foods and yes, sometimes crying it out, because choosing a downward spiral isn’t going to serve me in the long run. I’m committing to move forward…period.   I hope this helps you if you’re also going through a similar season. Continue to nurture yourself and one day, when things clear, you’ll realize that it was all meant to help you keep in alignment with your true purpose.   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Redefining what alignment means Why your value shouldn’t be tied to your accomplishments The seasons of life     Resources:   Enrollment for Chris and I’s life eCourse Aligned closes today (Sept. 27, 2018)!

This past weekend I spoke at the Thrive event in Las Vegas (which was amazing), and I also came to the realization that my life is one big classroom. You see, I got sick the morning of the day I was supposed to speak. I’m not sure if it was food poisoning or the flu, but needless to say I wasn’t going anywhere for a while. It was like life was flashing a big neon sign with a message that was impossible for me to ignore. In fact, there were multiple nudges, messages and signs that day, but I’ll leave those for another episode as I’m still marinating in a few of them. One thing I’ve come to realize though is that:   “Every single thing that happens can be a breakthrough lesson and everyone can be a teacher.”   Now this doesn’t mean that nothing bothers us, but it does mean that we get to choose how we view a particular situation and move through it. Yes, you may struggle and it may be annoying or painful, but the sooner we can accept it, the more quickly we’re able to advance to the next level.   “The sooner we accept the obstacle as a lesson or the person as a teacher, we get to move through it faster.”   As Tom Bilyeu shared with me just the other day, “Struggle is guaranteed, success is not.” In order to get to the next level, we have to experience it all. And if we’re going to struggle, we may as well get something useful out of it, yes?   Compare it to a rookie’s journey to becoming a pro. There’s always that point where the rookie is thrown in the game and the team may win or they might lose. The rookie will learn the do’s and don’ts – most likely the hard way. Whatever they experience though, it’s necessary because the coaches make the decision to move up that particular player if they don’t see them in action.   Once you realize that obstacles and people (yes, even those rude people in traffic) are here to teach us, you will experience a whole new level of freedom. It will be uncomfortable and you might shout expletives now and again, but practice and sharpening the skills of love, compassion, boundaries and saying no will help you step into that next level of your life.   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Why life is our classroom Why struggle is inevitable Viewing obstacles as lessons and people as teachers     Resources:   Aligned Registration Opens soon.

Some may find it hard to believe but everyone, and I mean everyone, has a ceiling. Yes, even Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey or any other wildly successful person has one. And here’s why:   “Everybody has a ceiling or they’d be higher than they are now.”   For example, let’s say a person is making $100K a year. Why aren’t they making $200K? Because they have a ceiling. You can change the numbers, but you’ll still get the same answer. But here’s the good news. Every ceiling can be lifted. If you need a visual, think about those cheap drop-down tile ceilings that people used to put in their finished basements. When installed, yes, there’s a ceiling there, but it can easily be busted through to expose more space above it. And you can do the same with your “ceiling.”   Here are five steps to help you do just that.   Acknowledge that you have a ceiling and you’ve hit it. Now look for patterns and see how you can change it. Choose to bust through the ceiling. This is your moment to burn the boats! “Make sure it’s a real choice to bust through your ceiling – not just a desire.” Choose new beliefs. Choose to believe what is possible. Look for evidence and beliefs to support why you’re worthy. Choose new rituals. Reinforce your beliefs with new rituals. Read more, take new courses, set better boundaries, meditate more (or start), schedule forced creative time – the options are endless. Just know that your new beliefs won’t stay if you don’t reinforce them. Uplevel your tribe. Your current tribe may be holding you back. This can be difficult, but know that you’re never leaving anyone behind because they always have the choice to come along. Choose people who have been where you want to go. “Most people are in a habit of choosing people that make them feel good, not people that make them do better.”   All of the above steps build on top of one another and you can’t support one without the other. Because we know how important it is to have guidance when it comes to navigating this, we’ve created our life course, Aligned, that helps you choose new beliefs and rituals – and also connects you to a new tribe. Enrollment just opened this week and we’re so excited to help others on this journey!

With a lot of speaking engagements going on for me right now and in the near future, I’ve had to really stop and observe my anxious tendencies and the thoughts that often go along with them. It’s amazing how powerful our thoughts and inner dialogue can be. Today’s episode is all about freeing yourself from the labels that hold you back and knowing that you’re the only one who has that power to do so.   How often have you heard, “I have such anxiety when it comes to speaking in front of people”? Hand raised over here because I’ve definitely said it to myself before. But here’s where we change it. We don’t “have” anxiety. We “do” anxiety. We don’t “have” no energy. We “do” no energy. And it’s in this doing that we have the choice as to what we do or don’t do. See where I’m going with this?   I’d like you to do a quick exercise to take back your power. First, write what you “have.”               Example: I have anxiety.   Now cross that out and write DO instead.               I have anxiety. I DO anxiety.   Now describe how you “do” anxiety right now? What actions are supporting this feeling? What thoughts?                         I’m drinking coffee. I’m checking messages right when I wake up. I’m eating crappy food and isolating myself. I keep telling myself how nervous I am and that            I’m going to forget what I’m saying on stage.   Take notice of the conversation in your mind and watch how you’re talking to yourself. If you’re anxious, reframe and tell yourself how excited you are and why. Replace your thoughts with better thoughts and take your control back!   No lie, it doesn’t always go fast. But keep trying on different feelings until it does feel good.   “Choose how you feel.”   Tell yourself, “I can undo any feeling I don’t want to be in.”   And remember, once you start putting out these better feelings, you’ll notice that you’re attracting more too.   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Freeing yourself from labels that hold you back Taking ownership of your thoughts Why you don’t “have” anxiety, you “do” anxiety     Resources:   Aligned Registration Opens soon.

I’ve been wanting to talk about today’s topic for a while and am excited to dive in to whether or not the statement “Money is power,” is true. And if it is true, who should have the power? The good guys or the bad guys?   First off, I do believe that money is power because we all get an opportunity to “vote” with our dollars. The more money you have, the more say you have. People with more money are often looked up to more as a guiding example and they tend to have more of a responsibility with that power as well. They’re leaders and they don’t hoard their power, they share it. The only catch? We want power in the hands of good people who are going to do the above.   This same principle is shared in the book, “The Traveler’s Gift” by Andy Andrews. Here are a couple of his quotes that sum it up nicely and also mirror a good portion of the For the Love of Money philosophy, too   “To do great deeds, great power is essential.” – Andy Andrews   “If money is power, do not run from power. Gather it as you would the finest fruit. Power in the hands of a good person is like a drink of water on a hot summer day. It refreshes everyone with whom it comes in contact with.” – Andy Andrews   Andy goes on to describe that there are three different levels of power: Those who have enough money and power to get by Those who make enough to make things more comfortable for their families and sometimes a few others Those who make enough to change the world. They ignore what’s popular and do what’s right to lead hundreds and thousands of others toward the right thing.   We all have the capacity to do more, but so many of us fear it. I encourage you to stop being afraid to step out and grab that power! And similar to what my podcast says every week:   “Grab your power and use it for good!”     In This Episode We Talk about:   Whether or not money is power The book, “The Traveler’s Gift” The three levels of power   Resources:   The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews http://a.co/d/447WBMI Aligned Enrollment opens soon!

Just a head’s up that today’s topic may be a touch overwhelming for some, but I don’t want anyone to get too worried, because when it comes to shifting and changing a person’s beliefs – it’s actually never-ending.   I’ve discovered recently just how important it is to take inventory of one’s tribe, aka the people who we’re spending the most time with. Keep in mind that this can be actual people, television, podcasts etc. I like to also call them reinforcers.   I want you to do a quick exercise and write down the following:   List five people who you’re around the most. What is the main belief, habit or limiting belief or thing that they are reinforcing in your life?   When completed, review and determine if these habits and beliefs are reflecting back at you. Are they holding you back? Don’t panic if it’s not what you thought. I’m certainly not here to tell you who to hang out with and I certainly won’t tell you to ditch friends who aren’t “positive” enough. But I am telling you that you may want to load the other portions of your “plate” with more positive or up-leveling people. Crowd out your plate in a positive direction.   Maybe that means joining a new group or mastermind? Maybe it’s adding more podcasts, books or self-development events to your life. Whatever it is, just make sure to, “set up a life and tribe that reflects where you’re going and not where you’re at.”   -- In This Episode Lori talks about:   Taking a tribe inventory Shifting and changing belief systems Why we need more positive reinforcers in our lives     Resources:   Aligned Registration Opens soon.
