Do you ever feel like your financial success is out of your hands? Like your business’s health is determined by factors you can’t control—your clients, the economy, or even luck? If so, you’re not alone. But what if I told you that taking radical responsibility can completely transform your financial reality?

In this post, I’m diving into why we give our power away, how it affects our business and money, and—most importantly—how you can reclaim it.

How We Give Our Power Away

We often blame external circumstances for our challenges:

  • Slow bookings? “The market is saturated.”
  • Low revenue? “People just don’t want to pay higher prices.”
  • Difficult clients? “I can’t control who finds me.”

But here’s the truth: When we give our power away, we miss the opportunity to create change.

Reclaiming Your Power: Radical Responsibility

Taking radical responsibility means owning your current reality and recognizing that your beliefs, thoughts, and actions have created it. It means asking:

  • What part of this situation do I have control over?
  • What can I do differently next time?
  • What beliefs about this situation might be holding me back?

When you shift from asking “Why is this happening?” to “How can I change this?”, you take back control of your financial future.

Invest Your Attention Wisely

Your energy follows your focus. If you invest your attention in what’s lacking, you’ll attract more scarcity. But when you focus on opportunities, growth, and solutions, that’s where your results will flourish.

Where in your business are you giving your power away? And what’s one step you can take today to reclaim it?
