Abundance Leaks: The Unspoken Struggle of Success

We've all heard the promises: more clients, more money, more success. It's practically a mantra in the entrepreneurial world.

“I can get you x times more clients in y amount of time!”

“I can help you make x times more money in y amount of time!”

And don't get me wrong, I love seeing everyone hustling and doing their thing. But there’s another side to this conversation that often gets swept under the rug - and desperately needs to be addressed.

Sure, the chase is exhilarating. The pursuit of our desires is what keeps us going!

But what about the aftermath?

What happens when we catch that elusive dream we've been chasing?

As the Joker so wisely once noted, "I'm like a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it!"

It's a sentiment many of us can relate to. The struggle begins when we realize that receiving what we desire most is an experience that’s often much more… emotionally complicated than the simple and straightforward happiness we’d anticipated.

Many of us have been taught to chase - but not to gently and trustingly hold and cradle the things that come in.

As a result, so many of us are experiencing abundance leaks and abundance caps - and aren’t even aware of it!

Abundance Leak: Abundance flows in - only to flow right back out again because it realizes the environment isn't hospitable. It's like having a leaky bucket that you’re working so hard to fill up without realizing you need to patch it up first.

Abundance Cap: Abundance flows in - but then hits a ceiling. Your subconscious won’t allow it to exceed a certain point. This often leaves us feeling a sense of “stuckness,” of being in a rut or at a plateau.

Which is exactly why THIS part of the conversation is so crucial not to miss out on.

Because what good is making a financial fortune if your scarcity mindset is strangling the peace and joy out of it?

What's the point of a flourishing business if the pressure to maintain it feels like an elephant sitting on your chest? ((Is that how much elephants actually weigh? I have no idea. Don’t come for me, elephant experts 🐘)

In a nutshell: It's not just about how much you can get; it's about what you can peacefully and sustainably hold moving forward.

How much can you maintain and sustain? And how can you do it with trust and ease?

If this post is hitting home for you, it might be because you haven't yet confronted and resolved the following:

💫 Am I authentically & fully aligned with my true desires - or am I chasing what I think I should want? The things everyone else told me I should. The things I believe deep-down will make me feel special, accepted, safe, and loved.

💫 Am I truly ready and willing to receive ALL that I've asked for? Do I feel any reservations, doubts, wariness, or concerns in the back of my head or heart about receiving my desires in full?

💫 If everything I desire landed in my lap tomorrow - how would it change my life? How would it impact my time, my schedule, my energy, my emotions, my relationships?

💫 What do I need to effectively play at this new level? What areas do I need to grow and strengthen? What unresolved triggers do I need to address? What capacities must I expand to securely hold and maintain this new level of abundance?

Let me know what comes up, my friend. You've got this! 🫶
