In my 14 years as an EFT practitioner and mindset coach, I’ve seen it more times than I can count. Smart, talented, creative, hard-working people who simply cannot achieve their financial goals, no matter how hard they try. What do all of these people have in common?

To make sure that limiting beliefs aren’t squelching your earning power, take 2 minutes to read through these beliefs, and identify the ones that resonate with you.
This simple exercise could literally change your life, so give yourself this time. You deserve it! You may notice that even though you don’t agree with a particular belief, it resonates with you emotionally.
If that happens, that’s an indication that the belief is your emotional truth, and as such, it is preventing you from making the income you're truly capable of.

The good news is that EFT can be used to removed any limiting belief, so that it will no longer hold you back or keep you stuck. The best way to determine if you have a particular belief is to ask yourself the following question:
“On a scale of 0 to 10, how true does this statement FEEL to me?”
If the answer is anything other than 0, you believe the statement to some extent, and if you believe it, it is affecting you.
