Episode 196: Your Passions Will Make You Money But Are You Giving Them Enough Time and Space?

🚨Reminder, Become Emboldened enrollment is open until November 7. Take your dreams seriously and join us for 4 months of coaching.

Become Emboldened

In today’s show, Karolina talks about how your passions and desires can actually make you more money – which is the opposite of what we’ve been taught to believe.

So many people have these twisted belief systems about money: that we are tied to the value we can put on our resume. The idea that we can make money off our passions and creativity is true today, but wasn’t necessarily true for our ancestors, which is why it can be hard to imagine.

Karolina also offers some tough love about devoting time and space for these passions and talks about the strength of empowerment groups like Become Emboldened. Registration is open until November 7th, and this is the last launch of the year, so don’t wait.

Your dreams are waiting for you.

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Karolina discusses how easy it is to feel stuck when it comes to following our passions. Do you have a dream you feel stuck on? What are the roadblocks in your way? Is it money? Is it a limiting belief? Is it because you’re surrounded by people who are doing the same thing as you? What are some creative ideas in which you can bypass these roadblocks?

“My life changed when I stopped thinking that my worth and the ability to make money was tied to that employer – or any employer – or my resume, or anything to do with my formal career. That changed my world. Today, I will tell you that I have a belief that money is a result purely of my creativity. Money is made depending on my creativity. If I want to make more money, all I need is creativity. Literally, that is the belief system I have. It's not to say that I don't sometimes ever struggle or want to pull my hair out, or that everything's just going amazing all the time. But that is my underlying belief that if I feel stuck, it's because I'm not tapping into my creativity at that moment – that there's always something to do, there's always another way.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska

“I've yet to meet a woman whose passion wasn't in some way serving the world. When we talk about changing the world or making the world a better place, it starts with us. It starts not only with us, and believing in our dreams and what's possible for our lives, because that makes a ripple effect to everyone around us, but also – most of our dreams actually do impact people, in a crazy way. If you want to write a book, that could help someone that could save their life. If you want to launch a business and help women who were in a previous position that used to be in and that was challenging – that's helping people. This is how we change the world. It’s with you standing up for your dream and going after it.” - Karolina Rzadkowolska
