3 Under-the-Radar Sabotaging Money Gremlin Situations

Your Money Gremlin has the habit of sabotaging your money-making dreams. You may have an inspired vision that you would like to achieve or some financial targets to meet. However, your Money Gremlin will introduce thoughts that will hold you back. Even famous singer, Ricky Martin, shares this, “My goal is to think of nothing when I’m writing a song because too many influences could sabotage a potentially amazing song.”

Your money gremlin enjoys playing sabotage games. It sabotages you from following your heart-centered dreams. It stops you from manifesting abundance. Until now, you may not have been fully aware about the existence of a Money Gremlin. I don’t blame you. Your Money Gremlin can act in sneaky and covert ways.

“For me personally it is because I get an awful amount of success and I don’t think I deserve it and then I want to sabotage it.” Michael Parkinson

Here are 3 situations whereby your Money Gremlin can possibly sabotage you:

1. Your Money Gremlin Sabotages Your Dreams

Take for instance, if you have the dream of becoming an entrepreneur. You have dreams of making a living from your passion. At first, you are all excited. You have already read enough books and websites and attended enough workshops about following your heart’s desires. You feel drawn to the idea of living life in your own terms and at the same time, making more than enough money from your passion. And so, you would like to give things a go!

However, as soon as you contemplate making a leap, your Money Gremlin gets activated. It reacts immediately when there is the possibility of change. It deems “change” as a dangerous word!

Your Money Gremlin sneaks up on you by making you think and feel uneasy. It starts to warn you about the dangers of becoming self-employed. It does not want you to change. It will have you know that it is dangerous to do things differently. It postulates that going for self-employment means no longer having a stable source of income.

Your Money Gremlin story goes like this, “You are mad to give up your comfortable employee salary. Your money is going to run out. Your business is going to fail. What makes you think that your passion is going to make you rich? You are going to be broke soon!”

If you have mustered enough courage to start a business, you may decide to quit after a while.

Or, if you have not already started a business, your Money Gremlin is going to paralyze you into inaction.

2. Your Money Gremlin Sabotages Your Goal of Hitting Targets

Even if you are not hoping to become an entrepreneur, your Money Gremlin is not going to leave you alone.

Let’s say if you have some financial targets to meet. Usually, targets are set reasonably high. You may have set them yourself or your boss may have made some goals for you to meet.

The targets may involve you being bolder and doing things in a bigger way. Once again, your Money Gremlin is going to derail you with “It’s too hard! You can’t do it! You are going to embarrass yourself. No one likes sales people!”

3. Your Money Gremlin Stops You from Aligning with Your Potential

Most importantly, your Money Gremlin can prevent you from stepping up to your highest potential. If you are a coach, you may long to reach a bigger audience, transform more lives or make a huge impact. Or, if you are a creative professional, you may be working on a new idea or to launch a new project.

However, to do so, you may first need to spend some money. Your Money Gremlin is going to stop you by letting you know that it is not safe to make such an investment. It wants to keep you in the comfort zone, so that you don’t take risks. Hence, it may say “no” to expanding your business, hiring a team, launching a new program and so on.

Stop the Sabotage by Your Money Gremlin

Nab your Money Gremlin or it hijacks your dreams and prevents you from moving forward.

Don’t allow your Money Gremlin to put you in the way of manifesting your heart-centered dreams or soul-inspired goals!

Recognise the signs of being in sabotage!

Love and abundance always,

Evelyn Lim
