We aim to coach our clients to an expansive life full of joy, opportunity and wealth. But, have you tapped into the most dynamic source of that – prosperity? For any niche, coaching around prosperity has its time, place and long lasting value.

How do you enter the territory to coach clients toward greater prosperity? One of the most common entry points is to detect scarcity thinking, which slows the flow of prosperity down to a trickle.

Within each of us lives a loud gremlin – a naysayer that wants to keep us small, scared and under tight control. His secret weapon is scarcity-based thinking, steeped in feelings of neediness, lack and fear. It's all a sham. Like the great and terrible Oz behind the curtain, this part is just a small, bumbling fool.

Reframing to the Positive
Rather than heed the naysayer, put him in a bright corner where he can be easily seen for what he is and learn his tricks. Support your clients to recognize the naysayer in their language and shift self-talk from scarcity to prosperity thinking.

Reframe this... To this
I don't want . . . I want . . . (or) I intend . . .
I can't afford . . . I choose . . .
I'm struggling with . . . My opportunity now is . . .
What if I can't . . . I envision . . .

The Universal Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. Prosperity thinking attracts more of what we want. Self-deprecating language and scarcity thoughts set up negatively charged energy that attracts what we don't want.

Detecting scarcity thinking is just one of the many ways to enter the territory of coaching your clients (or yourself) to greater prosperity.
