6 Money Beliefs I Released To Earn More

Beliefs Blocking Your Growth

There’s a moment on your financial journey when you realize something important:

You’re not stuck because you don’t make enough money.
You’re not stuck because you’re irresponsible.
You’re not stuck because you “just need to try harder.”

You’re stuck because something deeper—something emotional, unspoken, and uncomfortable—has been quietly running the show.

A few days ago, I posted a short note that hit a nerve:

“The moment you stop hiding your financial mistakes, they lose power.
Shame keeps you broke.
Honesty sets you free.”

That post wasn’t written from theory.
It was written from lived experience.

Someone replied, “Can u give more details?”

This is the more details.

Because until you understand the emotional blocks to income growth beneath your behavior, your income, apps, and budgets won’t change the outcome. And what you discover when you finally look beneath the surface may surprise you.

Before Strategy, There’s Identity

For a long time, I focused on tactics.

Increase income.
Cut expenses.
Invest consistently.
Optimize cash flow.

All necessary. All helpful.

But none of them worked sustainably until I addressed something more foundational: the beliefs quietly shaping my decisions.

Income growth is rarely blocked by lack of information. It’s blocked by identity friction.

When your internal beliefs about money conflict with your external goals, the identity wins.

You can’t consistently earn more while subconsciously believing:

• Wealth changes people.

• Success creates pressure.

• Money exposes you.

• You’re “not the type” who builds real financial security.

The transformation began when I stopped trying to optimize numbers and started examining narratives.

And once I saw the narratives clearly, I realized I had to release six specific money beliefs that were quietly capping my income.
