Picture this: You’re racing through life, juggling projects, dreams, and to-do lists, all the while, hoping for more abundance. But every time you get close to that dream life, something sneaky holds you back.
It’s not bad luck—it’s lack, and it’s stealthier than you realize. The good news? Once you spot these sneaky behaviors, you can kick them out of your life and business to make space for abundance.
Are you ready to ditch the lack mindset and embrace the flow of prosperity? Let’s dive into these sneaky ways of lack and learn how to outsmart them with some fun, actionable hacks.
1. Going 100 MPH Without a Pit Stop
Who hasn’t rushed through their day thinking speed equals success? But when you’re always racing, you miss the magic moments where opportunities bloom. It’s like trying to enjoy a meal while running as fast as you can. That’s almost impossible.
Speed Hack: Hit the brakes! Slow down and savor the journey. Take intentional pauses to reflect, celebrate wins, and let ideas percolate. Think of it as giving your dreams the breathing room they need to grow.
2. The Hustle Trap
“Work hard”, they said. “Pay your dues”, they said. But nobody mentioned how overworking shuts the door on receiving. It’s all grind, no glory, and you end up more stressed than successful.
Hustle Hack: Add receiving to your to-do list. Practice saying “Thank You” when someone helps you, and take time to soak in the rewards of your hard work. The universe loves a gracious receiver. 😉
3. Judging: The Inner Critic’s Bestie
Ah, judgment—the uninvited guest at every party. Whether you’re judging yourself, assessing others, or comparing your life to everyone else’s highlight reel, judgment shrinks your world. It’s like wearing blinders that block the view of all good things.
Judgment Hack: Channel your inner cheerleader. Replace judgment with encouragement. See someone succeeding? Clap for them. Not only does it feel great, but it also attracts more wins into your own life.
4. Oops, Missed That Opportunity
When you’re not paying attention, life’s golden moments can slip by faster than your favorite limited-edition coffee. Whether it’s an overlooked email, a missed connection, or just zoning out, inattentiveness is a fast track to lack.
Missed Hack: Get grounded! Try five minutes of mindfulness every morning to center yourself. Stay present, and you’ll start spotting opportunities like a pro.
5. Boundaries Gone Wild
Boundaries are great—until they become walls. Over-protecting yourself shuts out the very abundance you’re working so hard to attract. Abundance doesn’t play well with fences.
Boundary Hack: Redefine your boundaries. Instead of building walls, focus on being clear about your goals and values. When you’re in your lane, distractions don’t even get close.
6. Answers Only, Please
Ever feel like you need all the answers before you can move forward? Spoiler alert: That’s a lack mindset talking. A rigid need for certainty squeezes out creativity, wonder, and the delightful surprises that make life abundant.
Answers Hack: Embrace curiosity. Swap “I need to know” with “I wonder what’s possible.” Let your heart and intuition guide you instead of relying solely on logic. Who knows where that could lead?
7. Greedy Vibes in Disguise
Trying to squeeze every last drop out of a situation might seem smart, but it’s actually lack mindset in action. It’s like grabbing all the snacks at a party and forgetting to share. Sure, you might feel full, but where’s the fun in that?
Greedy Hack: Practice generosity. Share feedback, express gratitude, or simply offer a kind word. Reciprocity creates an abundance loop that makes you and everyone else feel richer.
8. Freebie Hunters Anonymous
We all love a good freebie, but if you’re always chasing no-cost options, you’re unintentionally signaling lack. You’re saying, “I don’t trust that I can invest in myself and thrive.”
Freebie Hack: Invest in yourself. Pay for that course, upgrade to the VIP package, or tip generously. The way you put out investment energy comes back tenfold, often in unexpected and magical ways.
9. Discounts vs. Bonuses
Offering discounts might feel like you’re doing others a favor, but it’s really just lowering your value. What’s worse than lowering your worth? Blocking the flow of abundance.
Discount Hack: Think bonuses, not bargains. Instead of slashing prices, add extra value. A bonus says, “I’m worth it and so are you.” That’s the kind of energy that draws abundance in droves.

10. Your Story is Holding You Hostage
We all have a story—those moments that define who we are. But if your story keeps you stuck in victim mode or ego trips, it’s time for a rewrite. Lack loves a stagnant story.
Story Hack: Become the editor of your life. Shift from “This happened to me” to “Here’s what I’m creating now.” Your story is your starting point, not your entire identity.
