The scarcity mindset is often a product of deeply ingrained limiting beliefs that have developed into a habit, and usually operate unconsciously holding back business owners from their next level of success. So how can you shatter these restrictions and transform into a better thought leader?

In this episode of Next Level Influence, Melanie Benson and Samantha Riley discuss flipping the impact of scarcity thinking and discovering abundance. Scarcity thinking developed from situations that make entrepreneurs think they have limitations in energy, finances, and time. 

Flipping the scarcity thinking into an abundance mindset begins with being aware of the thought that may be restraining your ability to grow, reach more people, and achieve wealth.  

This episode will serve as your guiding light on how you can flip frequently limiting thoughts into abundant thinking and unlock better opportunities in business.

  • Understanding Human Design to do what is aligned with your values (07:17)
  • Areas where entrepreneurs unconsciously operate in scarcity (10:20)
