What we believe about ourselves and our potential to earn profit is important, and more often than not translates straight to our bottom line. While it can be challenging to change up the patterns we’ve always lived with, viewing money from a positive mindset is a skill that anyone can learn. It’s never too late to make a change and begin creating profit with intention and the belief that good things are coming your way. WELCOME CLARE WOODToday I chat with Clare Wood, qualified accountant turned money mentor and first-time author. Clare helps business owners to massively scale their profits through the power of money management and the concepts of money mindset. She teaches that our beliefs and past experiences with money ultimately affect how we act in business, and in her book Intentional Profit, Clare aims to inspire people to master their mindset for a wildly wealthy business. In our conversation, Clare defines intentional profit and shares some of the money mindset challenges that she continues to experience in her own life. She shares how she continues to work through them, and her thoughts around building a business that will continue to grow month upon month, and year by year. DREAMING BIGDespite creating some amazing successes in her business, Clare has never seen herself as someone extraordinary. She’s just someone who had a big dream and decided to chase it. Sharing the journey that brought her dreams into reality, Clare encourages us to take inspired and aligned actions to move us closer to the things we want.  MONEY MINDSETTen years ago, Clare’s life looked completely different. She was far from achieving the goals she had in mind, and didn’t even know what money mindset was. However, through educating herself and learning the skills required to shift her thinking, Clare started to see her dreams become a reality. She reminds us that we can start to create the life that we want when we believe positive things are coming for us, and take action to make change happen. LEANING INTO INTENTIONAL PROFITWhen it comes to investing, there are no guarantees that things will work out. There can be a lot of fear around taking a risk. Having experienced many disappointments in her own business journey, Claire now sees losses as catalysts for learning and growth. She discusses how reframing failure as part of success will cause us to lean into creating profit with intention and confidence. Clare believes in pushing through the discomfort, knowing that what’s on the other side is potentially even bigger and better than expected. The path to success and achieving your dreams is not linear, and every business experiences cycles of loss and gain. However, Clare knows from her own experience that changing our learned, problematic patterns around money will set us free from our fear of failure and release us into our potential.
