386. How to Stop Thinking Like You're Broke (Even If You're Not)

·21 min·2 clips
Renée reveals how saying no just because something costs money is deciding from fear, not strategy.
In this solo episode of Into The Wild, host Renée Warren revisits her 'Rich Woman Energy' topic to discuss money mindset for entrepreneurs. She opens by distinguishing fear-based decisions that hoard money from strategic decisions that invest money. Renée illustrates broke mindset with a personal anecdote about choosing a cheaper vase she dislikes over a more expensive one she loves, explaining that broke thinking isn't about bank balance but about relationship with investment. She identifies common broke mindset patterns: undercharging services, choosing cheapest options, hoarding opportunities, and feeling guilty about success. Renée emphasizes that broke thinking makes you the CFO of missed opportunities. She outlines a two-step rewiring process: first, conduct a money language audit to replace limiting phrases like 'I can't afford it' with empowering questions like 'how can I make this happen?'. She shares examples from her business, including charging in US dollars despite Canadian customer pushback and outgrowing a venue for the Pink Skirt Project Summit. Second, apply an investment filter with specific questions: will this make money, save time, or increase skills?; what's the cost of not doing this?; am I deciding from fear or strategy?; would someone with my dream income make this choice?; and can I afford not to bet? Renée discusses her personal mindset shift from viewing wealthy people as greedy to recognizing abundance enables community giving, citing her family's half-million-dollar charitable donations in 2024. She tells the story of her friend Crystal who bought and retrofitted a facility for her soccer league as an example of taking calculated financial risks. Renée concludes that wealthy thinking creates money, not the other way around, and challenges listeners to act like the wealthy woman they're becoming by making one financially uncomfortable move immediately.
