“All of a sudden, I realized my inner five year old was running the show,” says Vanessa Shaw in this episode of How to Get Rich Without Being a Bitch. She explains how she used her experience as an executive coach with a focus on cultivating emotional intelligence to conquer her own triggers: namely, shame and anxiety around money.
As human beings, Vanessa explains, we are hard-wired to avoid pain and seek out instant gratification. Addressing our fear is uncomfortable, so we avoid it. But the long-term consequences of doing that are enormous. For Vanessa, the consequences of avoiding her hard feelings around money included inconsistent pricing, discounting her services unnecessarily, and not having hard conversations with clients or vendors when they didn’t deliver as promised.
Tune in to this episode to learn more about how going deep into your past and identifying the root of your anxieties can help you build a better future -- for yourself and your business.
