Key Takeaways:
- To increase your capacity for more success, you must let go of old ways of thinking and operating that no longer serve you. Make space for the new.
- Be aware of limiting beliefs about time, effort, or your ability to handle more. These will hold you back. Adopt an abundance mindset.
- Look honestly at your current business and life. What’s working? What’s draining you? This shows your real capacity now.
- Strengthen your “deck” – the systems and structures in your business. Ensure they can support expansion and more clients.
- Check your energy. Do you fully believe in your offers? Do you have confidence to serve more people without depletion? Build this up.
So today we’re talking about what is your capacity for more now, when you are going through a quantum leap in your business, in your income, in your wealth, in your prosperity, in your freedom, whatever it might be, a lot of times what comes up as the limiter of what we can actually bring in, what we can actually receive, what it is that we actually are creating and manifesting in our life and in our business, is our capacity.
Is our capacity to welcome in more. Now, let me give you a little story here to illustrate this. Steve Harvey has this great story that he tells about when he was, like, 19.
He really wanted to, like, get a new car. He wanted to bring in this new car that he was really excited about, right? Like, more great car. Awesome.
He wants more now. His mom was like, that’s great, honey, but what are you going to do about the one in the driveway? Because he had this old broken down car in the driveway that wasn’t serving any purpose, and it had four flat tires, and it didn’t even start, and it didn’t even run. And Steve told his mom, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s fine and whatever, but I am going to get this brand new car.
And she’s like, okay, baby, but what about the one in the driveway? What about the one in the driveway? Until eventually he started to pay attention and he realized, how can I possibly bring in a new car if there’s this old, beat up piece of crap in the driveway? That’s taking the place of where I would bring in more, as in the new car. So what he did was he got his friend with a tow truck to come in, tow the car away. He swept up all the old leaves under the car, and he cleaned up that spot in the driveway, and within days, he welcomed in his new car.
Melt Away Your MONEY FEARS in
Just 5 Minutes
with Dr. Ashlee Greer
This secret podcast will help you remove your money blocks plus melt away fears and stress around money so you can make more money, in less time, and have more freedom to do what you want, when you want!
Now, this is a process, and this is something that happens for almost all of us in terms of the law of attraction and manifestation. You know, you gotta let go of the crap you don’t want in order to welcome in the stuff you do want. Now, that’s part of understanding what our capacity for more is.
There are some other parts that we’re going to be digging into here in just a moment, but let’s stick with this idea of we have to let go of the things that we don’t want in order to grab hold of what we do want. The way that I like to say this, my little famous quote, is, you can’t accept a bouquet of flowers if your hands are full of shit. Right? Your hands are full of shit.
You’ve got no hands left to grab the bouquet of flowers, or the bouquet is going to be covered in shit. So we have to empty out, release the things that we do not want that are, that we’re settling for, that are not in alignment with where it is that we’re going and what it is that we want to create in order to make space for what it is that we want to bring in. So our capacity to bring in more is first created through having a container where we can accept in more.
And that container might be our hands, might be the parking lot outside of our business, or the parking space out front of our house for the new car. It might be we release the relationship that we’re in before we stepping into a new relationship, but we have to release the old relationship first to make space for the new one. It might be that you have to let go of your old business structure, or your old offer, or the old ideas about what it is that you had to do in order to succeed.
Like work hard, push hard, hustle, grind in order to make space for creating a business from pleasure, play joy, feeling delectable, delightful, understanding that freedom is your birthright. All of these things are only available to you once you let go of the old crap that says it has to be otherwise, right? So we really though, have to get honest with ourselves. That’s the first piece.
We really, though, have to get honest with ourselves about what our capacity for more is in some really practical ways as well. So have you ever found yourself saying things to yourself like, I’m too busy, this is too much work. I’m overwhelmed.
I can’t take on anymore. There’s not enough time. Well, guess what? If you are saying all of those things to yourself, you have just told yourself, I have no capacity to take on more.
I have no capacity to take on more success, more abundance, more wealthy, more clients, more service. None of it because I am too busy. It’s too much work.
It takes too much time. I don’t have time right now. I’m overwhelmed.
You have just planted the seeds in your subconscious mind that creating these new things that the more that you desire is unsafe and you don’t have the capacity to handle it. And so guess what? You’re not going to be able to handle it. Your subconscious is going to throw on the handbrake and hold you back.
But what’s even more relevant is you’re not going to want to actually even consciously do it because you’re going to be like, I literally don’t even have time on my calendar to serve one more client. I can’t take on more. Well, you can’t make more income if you can’t take on more, which is why you need to disconnect your income from your effort.
In other words, you can leverage your time and energy to make more time, more money and less time, and not feel pinned into this. You know, my hours equal my income. Whole trap.
That’s complete B’s. And instead realize that your time is a quantum field that you can, you know, move and develop and adjust based upon what it is that you want to create and what it is that you’re calling in. Here’s the really exciting part, is that, you know, as we step into our capacity for more and we get used to our reality as the quantum CEO who can bend time, who can make more money in less time, you can have more freedom working less.
All of these things, we actually then increase our capacity for more. Not just more money, but more freedom, more joy, more impact, more delightfulness, more pleasure, and all of these things that we really, really want. So what? So that’s the second point, is like time.
Time ends up becoming a huge limiter in terms of our capacity for more, particularly if we’re still operating on some level. From the employee mindset that says hours are traded for time, hours are not traded for time. Your energy is traded for time, not your hours.
That’s a topic for another day. But it’s very, very important to understand that if you are still telling yourself that your hours equal your income, you will never be able to scale your business to the level that you desire it to be at, or your income or any of this stuff. So when we understand that our success and our abundance is limited only not only by, but particularly by our internal understanding and awareness and space holding for our capacity for more, we understand that then we can expand that capacity.
We have control and power to step into our next level of impact. Income, freedom, abundance, wealth, all of these things. Success.
As we expand our capacity, as we expand our ability to hold on more, we do this through practical things like we were just talking about unhinging the employee mindset that says I have to trade hours for dollars. We do this by unhinging our beliefs that say money’s hard to come by, or I have to effort my way to success, or I have to earn my right to rest all of these things. We do this through the practical reality of understanding our offers and our fricking financial goals so that we can break it down and actually look at how much we need to offer, how many people we need to serve, how we can serve them to the highest level and create an offer that’s a slam dunk for our audience, but also that’s a slam dunk for the lifestyle and the life that we want to live.
And that’s what we do through, you know, setting up a simple, streamlined strategy for success where we feel as though we are supported in our lives and in the freedom that we want to create. And we are doing epic freaking work with our clients and through our businesses that make such an amazing difference. And everybody gets to win.
You see wealth and prosperity. Bringing more wealth and prosperity in your life is always going to come from this win win situation. Not just win win in terms of like, I don’t have to sacrifice or suffer in order to make more money, but also I can make more money and have more time, and my clients can have the highest level of service and experience and transformation possible, and all of that is possible together.
That is the capacity for more. That is truly the capacity for more is that abundance mindset that says everything can happen, all of it can happen. It’s all inevitable.
My success, their success, my wealth, their wealth, everybody can win. That, my friends, is truly the capacity for more. So if even an iota of you feels as though you cannot handle the new capacity, whether that’s more clients, whether that’s, you know, you have to hire a team member or a VA or something, or maybe you fear it’ll take more time in order to be successful, you will not achieve it.
You will not achieve that new level. You will not expand into what it is that you want to create, whether it’s more success, more income, whatever it is, if you’re too busy to work on your business or you feel like it’s too hard to get, to get the clients you want already, so how am I going to scale to a million dollars and I can’t even do it? Now? Guess what stress response kicks up. And you’re going to hold yourself back from that next level because it’s just going to feel overwhelming.
It’s going to feel hard and heavy. It’s going to be demotivating, and you’re not going to fricking do it. You’re not going to do it.
So, I mean, here’s the thing. When we come back to again that reality, we need to get real with ourselves and look at ourselves in our business and say, what is the reality of what I’m doing right now? What does it actually take of me what does it take? Does it drain me? Does it burn me out? Can I handle what’s going on in my business right now? Do I feel nourished and nurtured with how I’m serving my clients right now? Or do I feel like this is a burden and this is heavy and this is just hard work and blah, and I don’t want to do it? Well, that’s telling you everything you need to know about your capacity to take on more. Because if it feels like heaviness and a burden and you don’t want to do it, guess what? You’re not going to do it.
You’re not going to want to do any more of that. You’re not going to want to make it bigger. You’re not going to want to make that burden bigger.
No, of course not. But if it feels good and it feels nourishing to your nervous system, and it feels like overflow and it feels fun and it feels playful, guess what? You are going to want to create more of that. You are going to want to expand that, and your capacity will hold space for that as well.
So really getting honest with yourself about where you are in relationship with your business so that you can understand your capacity to expand into more income, impact and freedom and take the actual practical steps to make that happen, such as creating a slam dunked offer like we do in my program, amplified that you guys are part of, or maybe you haven’t joined yet and you want to join. The point is, is you have to really step into the sense that it can be simple and streamlined and it doesn’t have to be complicated. Once you put all the moving pieces into place, once you put all the moving pieces into place, then you can expand your capacity for more.
The simpler you make it, the easier, the more fun you make it, the more success, the more money, the more impact, the more freedom that you can welcome into your life and your business. So again, in a real world sense, another thing you have to ask yourself is if I ten times what I am doing right now in terms of service, like serving more clients or sending out more products or whatever it is that you’re doing, would my systems break? Would everything break in my business? And what would break in my business? And how can I tweak that? How can I automate that? How can I delegate that? How can I delete it out of my business so that it won’t break if I scale, if I welcome in more? Because welcoming in more is also looking at what would break. So here’s an example, let’s say I want to put a hot tub on my debt, but I know that my deck would break if I put a hot tub on it.
I don’t have the capacity to put a hot tub on my deck right now because my hot tub hot tub is going to break my deck, right? So I don’t have the capacity to have a hot tub. I have to reinforce my deck to make it stronger and more supportive for the hot tub before I can welcome in the hot tub. This is the equivalent of doing that in your business with your systems so that your systems support your expansion.
Now, the last point I wanna make here is that we’ve talked about reality. We’ve talked about our capacity in terms of time. We’ve talked about, you know, actually looking at our systems, actually looking at the moving pieces of our business, such as, like, do I have a great way to bring in leads and sales? Do I have, you know, a killer offer? Do I feel like I’ve nailed my messaging, all of that stuff? But it also exists, this capacity for more on an energetic sense as well.
How confident are you in serving more people? How much sense of belief do you have in yourself, in your products and services, in what it is that you’re bringing out into the world? How much feeling of trust do you have that what it is that you’re doing is so freaking amazing? Do you have that sense of inner hell? Yes. Of worthiness, of what it is that you are bringing out into the world or not? Another question to ask yourself in terms of your energy, in the energy senses, how much energy do you have to provide this service? You know, I believe personally that it’s no more work to provide to ten people than it is to 100 people. But if you have limiting beliefs or feelings inside that 100 people somehow takes away from you energetically, that is a limiting factor on your capacity to bring in more.
That is a limiting factor in your feeling that it is safe to bring in more success and abundance. And so asking yourself, how much energy do I have to provide this service, to provide these things to people? Am I able to show up the same way? If it were ten people, 100 people, 1000 people, a million people, would I feel the same about myself? Would I get the wobbles? Where are those wobbles coming from? What’s coming up for me? What feelings of doubt are coming up for me? And really beginning to piece and pick all of those pieces apart. And so also understanding, you know, in terms of receiving, in terms of our input and our output, being able to accept things in as much as we pour out is understanding the energetic sense of how much are you giving in terms of your capacity, and are you refueling yourself and nourishing yourself in your journey to expanding your capacity to welcome in more.
So hopefully that clarified for you how you need to really understand all of these different levels of welcoming in more and expand your capacity on all of these levels. The practical level, the systems level, the business structure level, the 3d level, the time level, the energetic level, so that you can welcome in more wealth and success and abundance. Now, I’d love to hear from you what came up for you in terms of which one you think is the biggest sticking point for you in your business right now, because that will tell you a lot about what it is you need to do next.
