What's Holding You Back Isn't What You Think

I Heart My Life Show

A few weeks ago, my team and I sent out a survey to our community to ask them one (not so simple) question: What is the biggest challenge that you face in terms of reaching your desires and your goals?

And the answers were… unsurprising, to say the least.

Around 300 people filled the survey, and there were two answers that were overwhelmingly at the top: Financial reasons and lack of time.

Many of us who can’t reach our goals, whether they are fitness goals or career goals or relationship goals, etc… blame both lack of time and lack of money for that.

However, this is a new year, and it’s time to debunk that old belief!

You see, it’s not lack of time or lack of financial means that’s holding you back… It’s something else entirely.

And as we enter 2023, I want you to be able to reach your goals and fulfill your New Year resolutions (come on, I know you have a list of those somewhere), so I’ll share with you what’s really keeping you from achieving everything you desire in life.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

Quotes:

“Time and money aren't the real reasons why people aren't reaching their goals.” – Emily Williams

“I would guess that most of the challenges that people are facing have to do with mindset, not lack of financial resources, not finding the time, not family, not health.” – Emily Williams

“If you're feeling stretched financially, I would love for you to ask yourself a simple question: If you had all the money in the bank that you needed for this thing that you desire, what would your next step be? How would you put yourself out there? What decisions would you make? Because the truth is, it's never about the money.” – Emily Williams

“A lot of people when I do money mindset work think that it's about just spending money aimlessly, not worrying about how you're spending your money, and being able to buy whatever you want. But the truth is, I don't feel like that's an actual healthy relationship with money. It's not a respect towards money. What I would love to see is for you to be considerate with how you're spending your money and your time, and really evaluate where it's going, and make sure it's in alignment with what it is that you actually want.” – Emily Williams

“If your mind doesn't even know what you would do with the thing, why in the world would you attract the thing? I always say money needs a purpose. That's why I love helping people create desire lists, because it's one of the easiest ways to get into the vision of the next level version of your life [and] to start to add up tangibly speaking how much these things are going to cost.” – Emily Williams

“So much of success is about introspection, it's about you being aware of what's actually going on for you.” – Emily Williams
