Mindset Newsletter 9: No Money And Excuses

You Can’t Make Money and Excuses at the Same Time

No matter what’s happening in the world, you hold the power to shape your own life. It’s time to let go of excuses and leave the “old you” behind.

There was a time in my life when I was in so much pain that I desperately wanted to escape it. Yet instead of making the changes I needed, I leaned on excuses to protect myself from feeling like an even bigger failure. These excuses didn’t just hold me back—they kept me stuck.

Even after a successful launch, those excuses lingered, costing me significant earnings over the next six months. I had a long list of excuses at the ready, many of which I heard echoed by my coaching students today.

It’s often easier to justify inaction with excuses than to face challenges and take meaningful steps forward.

What’s Your Excuse?

“I can’t give up my steady paycheck.”
“Invest? You want me to lose all my money, don’t you?”
“I don’t have any money to invest.”
“I tried that before. It won’t work.”
“I’m not smart enough.”
“My husband wouldn’t support it.”
“My wife wouldn’t understand.”
“What will my friends think if I fail again?”
“I’m young. I still have time.”
“It’s too late for me.”
“I can’t do that.”
“I wasn’t born with a computer in my hands.”
“It’s easier for the younger generation.”

Now, take a moment to reread those excuses. Notice something crucial: every single one of them creates a mental roadblock, fueled by the fear of past pain. These excuses aren’t protecting you—they’re holding you back from the life you want.
