#140: 6 Money Fears Hurting Your Success

In simple terms, fear is the response to perceived physical or emotional danger.

Fear is your brain’s way of recognizing a threat and prompting you to protect yourself.

If we were in ancient times, our fear response would be necessary to keep us safe. Nowadays, not so much.

We’re not facing imminent danger like people were back then. Sure, there are other dangers that are present in our current times, and fear is absolutely appropriate in those situations.

However, there are other situations where fear isn’t warranted.

We just have to train our brains to not be fearful of those situations.

In this episode, I’m sharing 6 money fears hurting your success. My goal is to help you work through these fears and see what amazing things come out on the other side.

Here’s a glance at this episode:

  • [02:41] Raya gives an example from her past where her fear response happened, but the situation truly didn’t call for it.
  • [06:35] Investing is one of the best ways to build long-term wealth. We have to take ownership of learning what to do when it comes to investing.
  • [11:31] If you’re not putting your cash in an account that’s generating interest, you’re losing money due to inflation.
  • [17:42] Hoarding money can be the result of a fear of something happening. This could keep you from making your money work best for you.
  • [22:14] The fear of spending money and not getting a tangible return in place can be extremely detrimental to your growth, in money and life.
