Most of us have been in debt at some point in our lives. Student loans, home loans, car loans, business loans - debt seems like a normal part of the 21st Century life. Despite that, debt is still associated with shame. We’ve been socialized to believe that our debt is something we need to be ashamed of, that there’s something inherently wrong with us if we have to pay off loans. Which means we treat debt like a dirty secret. And it’s something we never talk about. Today, we want to break free of those shackles and discuss, demystify, and unpack the concept of debt. We got the idea for this episode when we were speaking with a client of ours who was in debt from a previous business. It was extremely hard for her to not only bring this up in the first place, but to also continue talking about it. Why? Because the mere mention of her debt made her feel inadequate. She was making her debt mean a lot of negative things about her and her capabilities as an entrepreneur. This is why we want to say something loud and clear: There is NOTHING wrong with you if you’re in debt. In fact, you’re not alone. When you genuinely accept this, you’ll find that your mindset towards debt begins to change. You’ll start seeing debt for what it is - a neutral concept where you buy money to pay for something of value to you. That’s all. Once you make this mindset change, not only will you be happier, but you’ll also have the confidence to make some important decisions that involve parting with your money. But, we know it isn’t easy to undergo this massive mindset shift. Which is why in today’s episode, we’re sharing our own experiences
