5 Common Money Blocks Holding Solopreneurs Back (And the First Step to Release Them)

Apr 06, 2025

Is Your Mindset Costing You?

You're really good at what you do. Right?

Your passion? Obvious. Your clients? Often thrilled. You pour so much into your work. But the money part?

Maybe it feels... off. Stressful. Tight. That inconsistent income rollercoaster. Or maybe just a nagging dread around pricing or checking your bank account.

Sound familiar? You are definitely not alone. So many talented solopreneurs feel this exact disconnect. 

We tend to look outside for answers. The market. The clients. The economy.

But often? The biggest things holding back your income? They aren't external. They're internal.

Hidden money blocks. Those sneaky beliefs, fears, and energy patterns. Running on autopilot. Quietly messing with your financial success.

Even when you're trying your best. Good news? These blocks aren't permanent. For solopreneurs, tackling money challenges? It almost always starts inside.

Shifting your money mindset. It’s less about complex spreadsheets. More about changing your relationship with money. From the inside out.

This post? We'll shine a light on 5 common money blocks. Seeing them in yourself? That’s the critical first step. The beginning of releasing them. And finding more financial ease in your business.

Do Any of These Roadblocks Feel Familiar?

Let's pull back the curtain on five financial saboteurs. See if any ring a bell:

#1 - The "Hours-for-Dollars" Hamster Wheel

What it looks like: Believing your income only comes from hours worked. Leads to undercharging (especially for high-value work that doesn't take long). Agonizing over project prices. Feeling trapped by the clock. Burning out trying to just bill more time.

#2 - The Grip of Scarcity Thinking

What it looks like: Always worried about "not enough." Not enough clients, money, opportunities. Taking any work out of fear (even if it's wrong for you). Major anxiety during slow times. Resisting investing in your business ("Can't afford it!"). A constant feeling of financial stress. Fuels that feast-or-famine cycle.

#3 - The Weight of Money Guilt & Shame

What it looks like: Feeling weird. Awkward. Greedy. Even ashamed. About wanting money. Earning money. Having money. Especially from work you love. Fueled by "starving artist" myths or old family beliefs. Makes it hard to get paid, talk about money, or celebrate wins. Leads to self-sabotage.

#4 - The Comparison Quicksand

What it looks like: Constantly measuring your journey against others. Their pricing. Their income. Their client list. Their "success" (usually based on shiny social media). Fuels imposter syndrome. Kills confidence. Makes you reactively copy others instead of trusting your own path.

#5 - The External Validation Dependence

What it looks like: Believing your worth (and what you can charge) depends on outside proof. Needing X testimonials. Y followers. Z awards. Approval from certain people. Before you feel okay raising rates. Launching that idea. Trusting your value. Your worthiness feels outsourced. You're always waiting for permission. Leads straight to undercharging.

See the Pattern? It's Your Mindset.

Did any of those hit home? Maybe a few? If yes, good. You're doing the most important part. Awareness.

See the common thread? All these blocks point back to your internal world.

Your beliefs. Thought patterns. Energy around money, success, and your own worth.

Your business mindset shapes your financial reality. Simple as that. Recognizing which blocks are loudest for you? That's step one. Essential.

You can't shift what you don't see. Just naming the block starts taking away its power. This is how you begin releasing money blocks. And here’s the really hopeful part:

These struggles? Super common for solopreneurs.

And they are NOT permanent. You absolutely can shift them. You can build a more supportive, abundant mindset. You can thrive.
