Mm,
hello and welcome to transformation and empowerment, the podcast that helps you to find your life's true purpose, the more fulfilled and achieve your life's biggest goals.
Hi, this is Mike Pettigrew - serial entrepreneur, and Amazon best selling author and I have a question for you. Do you want to double or even triple your earning potential within the next year? Sounds amazing, but it's possible. It's possible when you do certain things in a certain way. If you turn the clock back to the early 1990s, I was in quite a predicament. I had a business. It was quite successful, but I was making no money. I was breaking even just and it was feast or famine.
One month lots of money would come in and then the next month nothing. And this has been going on for a few years and if I was to achieve my life's biggest goals, I had to change this financial rollercoaster. And you know what the reason was that I was experiencing lack of income came down to self worth. It came down to self worth and self esteem and I discovered that by improving my self-worth I could improve my earning potential and I had a very painful series of experiences.
One particularly painful. I thought I was going to have to fold up the company. I thought I was going to have to cease trading in the business because I hit a wall. I owed more money to our suppliers than was coming in the next couple of months and that seem to be bankruptcy on the way. So I was thinking of folding up the business and then a part of me said no - if I do this, the last five years has just been wasted.
So I had a series of other experiences around this time that were all showing me very clearly, that my self esteem was low, but my self value was low. I didn't appreciate myself. I spent a whole lot of time running around helping other people and ignoring my own needs and it was actually a neighbor - a next door neighbor, that observes this and said, Mike, you're running around helping people. What about you? What about time for yourself?
So that's what the financial brick wall was about - it seemed to become very clear to me that I had no option but to improve my self worth and I did various different things to show more appreciation myself in business. I doubled my prices expecting to lose half the clients. They all said yes, no problem. And by starting to treasure myself and appreciate myself and as I say, by doubling my price to my clients, my business took off and exploded.
In fact about nine years later I sold that company to multinational. And when I did - the last five years of that business before I sold it, I only worked a day and a half a week. I spent all my time doing voluntary work and I achieved all my life's biggest goals in 2001 when I sold my business, and it struck me one day... My goodness, I've achieved everything! And I had big goals I assure you.
So by appreciating yourself more, by growing your self worth, you can dramatically increase your earning potential. Because if you think you're not worthy or if you think you're not worth it, no matter how hard you work, you won't be able to dramatically increase your earning potential and it's very important that you increase your earning potential because then you can achieve your goals - so, so many goals far more quickly. So hope this has served you. Thanks so much for watching.
