[00:00:28] Speaker B: Hey, empowered disruptors. Welcome back to the Sonja Empowers show where I ignite your online business and help you own your fierceness, embrace your unique beauty, talents and strengths, rise above fear and step into your destiny as you build empires and shatter expectations together.
Today, we're tackling a topic that can make or break your business journey. Forget the fancy strategies for a second, because before any tactic can truly take hold, we gotta talk mindset, y' all. And specifically, how to stop letting scarcity hold you hostage and start building your abundance empire.
You all know what I'm talking about, right?
As online entrepreneurs, we're constantly bombarded with new tech, new trends, new quote unquote, must do list.
But underneath all that hustle, there's a quieter battle happening. The one in our heads. Okay?
Are you constantly feeling like there's not enough to go around?
Not enough clients, not enough money, not enough time, not enough you, not enough resources, not enough you? Fill in the blank.
That, my friends, is the scarcity mindset. And it's time to kick it to the curb, okay?
Because as long as you have that scarcity mindset, you will forever be trapped in your mind.
So the scarcity mindset, or trap as I like to call it, versus the abundance ascension.
Now, the scarcity mindset is a sneaky, sneaky beast, is born from fear, whispers lies about limitations, and convinces you that success is a zero sum game.
Like if someone else wins, you automatically, automatically lose.
This thinking traps us in the cycle of competition, short sighted decisions, and missed opportunities for genuine connection and growth. It's like trying to build a skyscraper with only a handful of bricks.
Frustrating and ultimately unfulfilling. So why do so many of us fall into this trap?
Well, it often stems from deep rooted beliefs.
Sometimes it's a lack of confidence in our own abilities making us feel like we have to fight for every scrap.
Sometimes it's the way we're raised, if truth be told, focusing on what's missing rather than what's possible.
We might have past experiences of loss or struggle that make us cling to what we have, fearing we'll lose it all.
These beliefs create a mental block convincing us that resources are limited and we must compete fiercely for them.
And that is absolutely a lie. Okay, Even myself, sometimes I have to sit up here and say, wait, A minute old mindset. Oh, mindset. Let's pump the brakes because I am going to reject that thought. Okay, but on the flip side, there's some good news. It's called the abundance mindset.
And this is where the magic happens.
This mindset operates from the belief that there's more than enough success, opportunity and resources for everyone.
It empowers you to see potential everywhere, to focus on growth, collaboration, and creating real, long term value.
This isn't just fluffy feel good stuff. This is a powerful shift that opens up new doors, fuels innovation and builds deeper, more meaningful connections within your industry.
In fact, let me share a personal example.
Just recently, I became a back to back best selling author, y' all. And I can tell you that incredible achievement did not come from a place of scarcity.
It came from a deep belief in abundance and specifically the power of collaboration.
I knew that by teaming up with other incredible minds, by expanding my network and embracing the idea that we could win, like all of us could win, not just one, I could exponentially increase my impact and reach more people.
It wasn't about holding back my knowledge or fearing someone else's success. No, no, no, no. It was about pulling our strengths to create something truly monumental.
That's the abundance mindset in action.
So let me give you some sizzling abundance tips.
Okay. You may be asking, how do I make the shift? All right. How do we break free from the scarcity shackles and step into our power? Well, I got four tips for you. One.
Own your value.
Unleash your uniqueness. Stop playing small. I've said it once, I've said it twice, and I'll keep on saying it.
You bring something unique to the market.
Acknowledge your worth, your skills, and the incredible contributions your business makes.
When you truly believe in your value, you stop seeing others as threats and start seeing opportunities for collaboration.
Your success doesn't need to come at anyone else expense.
Look for ways to share knowledge, support your peers and lift each other up. It's not just good karma, it's good business.
This is exactly how I approach my recent author success.
By seeing co authors as collaborators and collaborators and not competitors. Like in my world, there's no competition.
2.
Obsess over customer success.
This is a game changer. When you genuinely prioritize delivering massive value and helping your customers absolutely crush their goals, you build an army of loyal fans.
This customer centric approach, fueled by generosity and a desire to serve, will make your brand shine in even the most crowded marketplaces.
Happy customers become your biggest advocates. And that my Friends is abundant marketing.
3.
Practice gratitude. Like a gangster.
Seriously, gratitude is an abundant superpower.
Every single day, take a few minutes to reflect on what you're truly thankful for.
Your wins, big and small. The lessons learned, even the tough ones and the people who've supported you.
This simple practice instantly shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have.
It fuels your resilience, sparks creativity, and gives you the guts to take those calculated risks that lead to massive breakthroughs.
Lastly, become a lifelong learning legend.
The abundance mindset thrives on curiosity and the belief that there's always more to learn, more to discover, and more ways to grow.
Never stop seeking new knowledge, honing your skills and expanding your perspectives.
When you commit to continuous learning, you reinforce the powerful idea that possibilities are truly limitless.
You're constantly expanding your own pie instead of fighting over crumbs.
All right, my fierce entrepreneurs, it's time for your fab assignment. You guessed it, your fierce action breakthrough assignment.
Because we don't just talk about it here, we do it.
Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to identify one specific area in your business where you've been operating from a scarcity mindset.
Maybe it's fear of the competition, which you all know I teach that you have no competition is called what your advanced colleagues. All right, maybe it's an unwillingness to collaborate or constantly feeling like you're not good enough in your abilities.
Once you've identified that area, I want you to brainstorm three concrete actions you can take this week to approach that area from a place of abundance. For example, if you're holding back from collaborating, your actions might be one, reach out to a peer you admire and propose a joint webinar. Two, share. Share advanced colleagues valuable content with your audience. All right, once again, some of you, until you're re educated, you know that as a competitor, all right? And three, offer a free mini training in your area of expertise without expecting anything in return.
Write these down, put them somewhere you'll see them daily, and then act on them.
Let me repeat, act on them. Okay?
Remember, the biggest transformations in your business and in your life starts with a shift in perspective.
Just like my journey to becoming a best selling author wasn't about hoarding resources, but about expanding them through collaboration.
Your journey can be one of incredible growth as well.
Embrace abundance, believe in limitless possibilities, and watch as your entrepreneurial journey transforms into something truly extraordinary.
All right, that is it for this week. Fierce ones, go forth, conquer scarcity and build your abundance empire. Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the Science Empower Show.
