Take Your Passion and Make It Happen
Julie Murphy • May 19, 2009
I recently read the most exciting article that sites a statistic that the number of women-owned businesses increased 32% from 2002 to 2008 and continues to grow. That is amazing! I am a firm believer that if you follow your life’s purpose, no matter what that is, the money will follow! I am living proof of that and so are many of my clients and friends.
In my book, I write about “Crabs in a Bucket” and no, I’m not talking about a new special at your favorite seafood restaurant. If you have ever seen a crab in a bucket all by itself it can climb out of that bucket with no problem at all. Now, if you put 10 other crabs in that same bucket, you will find the other crabs trying to pull down the crab that wants to get out. My question for you is this. Who or what is your biggest Crab?
Sometimes, we are our own biggest crab and sometimes we let others pull us down. This is the first thing that popped in my mind after reading this article. How many of you out there are letting those pesky crabs get in the way of your dreams, desires and your true life’s purpose? When the little voices in your head are telling you that you can’t do something, what crab is that coming from? Your friends, family, spouse’s can only pull you down if you let them.
Budding Mompreneurs find what excites you and GO FOR IT! We have the power to change the world and the way others see us as mothers, business women, human beings. What a gift to give to our sons and daughters out there. They will grow up seeing that you can, in fact, have it all! “Dream Big or Go Home” is a common motto that I share with people and I practice this every day. Oh believe me, I have my own “Crabs in My Bucket” but I have learned to wish them well and move on to bigger and better things.

What if nothing is wrong with your life? What if the frustration you feel... The anxiety around money... The constant striving... The feeling that something is missing... Isn't a sign that you're failing. What if it's simply your soul trying to wake you up? So many of us spend our lives searching for the next thing we believe will finally make us feel whole. More money. A different relationship. A better job. A healthier body. Another vacation. Another achievement. Another finish line. Yet somehow, after every accomplishment, that feeling quietly returns. "There has to be more than this." And there is. Not because your life is lacking. Because you've been taught to look for fulfillment in places it was never meant to come from. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is that life is always working for us, even when it doesn't feel like it. Every challenge... Every financial struggle... Every relationship... Every fear... Every success... They're all invitations. Not punishments. Invitations to become more aware. Because awareness changes everything. You can't transform a belief you don't know you're carrying. You can't heal a wound you refuse to acknowledge. You can't create a different future while living from yesterday's programming. This is why I don't believe true wealth begins with your bank account. It begins with your awareness. Money simply magnifies the relationship you already have with yourself. If you believe you're not enough... No amount of money will ever feel like enough. If you don't trust yourself... It won't matter how much financial security you create. You'll still feel uncertain. Real wealth isn't something we earn. It's something we uncover. It's been within us all along, buried beneath years of conditioning, fear, expectations, and stories that were never ours to begin with. When we begin clearing away those layers, something beautiful happens. We stop chasing. We start creating. We stop reacting. We begin choosing. We stop living from fear. We begin living from love. That's where abundance begins. Not outside of you. Inside of you. That's why I created the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge . Not to teach you how to make more money. Not to convince you that positive thinking changes everything. But to give you space. Space to slow down. Space to become aware. Space to notice the patterns you've been living from without even realizing it. Over the course of 21 days, you'll begin seeing yourself differently. You'll explore the beliefs shaping your financial life. You'll reconnect with your intuition. You'll learn how your emotions influence your decisions. Most importantly... You'll begin remembering that you already have everything within you to create a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and abundant. The challenge isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. If your heart has been whispering that it's time for something different... Listen. It may be the beginning of everything. I'd love to walk this journey with you. Because your greatest investment has never been in the stock market. It's always been in yourself. And when you awaken that relationship... Everything else begins to change. With Love, Julie P.S. Sometimes the biggest transformation doesn't happen because life changes around us. It happens because we finally become aware of the life we've been creating, and realize we have the power to create something new. If you're ready, I'd love to have you join us for the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge.
Real financial freedom isn't about accumulating more. It's about creating choice.
Many people believe abundance is something they need to create outside of themselves.

Your ability to create wealth has far less to do with numbers… and far more to do with what’s happening inside of you.
