Join me as I sit down with an incredible group of Maverick entrepreneurs and alumni from my Sacred Money Archetypes® course. We discuss the strengths and challenges these business owners experience as Mavericks and how they now use their Money Archetype to achieve success.

PS. Thinking you’re a Maverick, but don’t know for sure? Take five minutes to confirm your Money Archetype with my quick quiz.

How was being a Maverick shaped your life?

I really wanted to be a Maverick, so when I got my results, I thought, "Yes, I always get what I want. This is brilliant!" Which is true. I started high school when I was ten, dropped out, then still came back and finished my exams.

I've always done things differently from everyone else.

it hasn’t always been easy, as I wasn't particularly popular at school, and got bullied for it. I’ve also been hospitalized for my mental health. But I’ve never conformed.

When I found entrepreneurship, it felt like magic. I could create things out of nothing and actually make money from them! I trained as a holistic therapist first, and the first time someone gave me £40 in cash and they said, "Thank you very much." I thought, "Wow, I've created that money. I had nothing." I felt like a complete magician. I was hooked. Entrepreneurship as a Maverick has been a gift from God because it allows me to play the game and have fun with it. I could roll with the ups, the downs, the wins, the losses, and the drama of it all.

But buying into Money Bootcamp was the scariest thing I've ever done. I did not have the funds in place. I put it on a credit card. I was shaking. But it has more than paid off. I made seven figures in 2020.

When I looked at the quiz results, I loved the idea of "You are rebellious and you are a rebel.” I was all here for this. I have a little trophy on my desk. It's my “most extra” award. It was literally a part of me embracing the extra-isms that I like to pour out in the world. And so I wasn't surprised to be a Maverick.

What I really love about Sacred Money Archetypes is how to fuse your money mindset with your business.

I learned early on that you can’t connect with your ideal client if you can't truly connect with yourself in the most aligned way.

So discovering I’m a Maverick wasn't a surprise, but those results and Sacred Money Archetypes gave me such a deep permission.

I thought, “I've literally been this way forever. And now it's really up to me to embrace it and bring it into every part of my business."

How do your top three Archetypes work together?

I'm a Maverick, Ruler, and Alchemist. I was born into a bad situation, as I grew up in another country in an orphanage. I didn’t have any family and was very poor. My life was dysfunctional. As I grew up, I carried shame with me for who I am and where I came from. I wanted to be different.

When I discovered I am a Maverick, it helped me to let go of that shame. I know now that this is me. This is who I always was. And I was born to do this. I was born to be wealthy. I was born to inspire people. I was born to lead and I'm not bossy.

As an Alchemist, I always have these amazingly creative ideas. And I had to stop giving them away for free because I ended up building other people's businesses and I never got paid for that. So my solution to that is basically to remind myself every single day that I am the person I always wanted to be. I stand in that power and shine as much as I can because that's when I attract so much money and so many opportunities.

I am a Maverick, Ruler, and Romantic. I notice I struggle to strike a balance, especially when I have a big win. I feel like I have to relax and my business then takes a dive. I think, “I had this huge win, now I'm going to binge on Netflix for a week.” But then my Ruler and Maverick kick in and get me back on the horse. So finding a balance between all sides of me, the relaxing and the working is definitely hard. 

Thanks to Sacred Money Archetypes, I created non-negotiables to overcome this.  

I keep my evenings free. My weekends are free, too. If I can get something out of the way in a couple of hours on one weekend, I may do that. But just having that standard for myself, that's how I try to balance everything.

When I discovered I was a Maverick, it wasn't necessarily a surprise. But it was great to realize that this personality is a thing many people have.

I’m not actually flaky, or bad at business, or rubbish at picking a niche. I am Maverick and this is positive!

Since I have honored this way of thinking and stepped into it, that's where even more of my Romantic has come out because now I know it's allowed to be easy and I get to do it in my way.

How does being a Maverick sabotage your business?

I am a Maverick, Ruler, and Accumulator. So I am a powerhouse combination. I'm always getting stuff done. If I walk into a room, you know. It's all good on paper, but it's never enough. My Accumulator drives me bonkers. How much more money do I need to have in the bank account? How much more does my retirement need to be set? How much more for it to be enough? It keeps pushing me, but it's never enough.

My Maverick loves to do big wild things. I bought my Tesla last year in cash…but then I had nothing left in my account, which my Maverick was fine with. But my Accumulator kept telling me that death was probably right around the corner.

I work so hard and would just like to enjoy my successes, but my Maverick and Accumulator are always at odds, which is sabotage. And then my Ruler's constantly like, "Well, you're not there yet so stop even talking because you have more stuff to do." So it's a hot mess express. But on the outside, I look amazing.

My biggest sabotage is jumping from one thing to the next. Then, once I start actually working on it and getting into the nitty gritty, I get bored. It’s totally shiny object syndrome. 

I am also learning to trust myself that a lot of money could come in and it could come in easily.

Because of my upbringing and what I was taught about women being able to earn money, I didn't believe this. But since I joined bootcamp in 2018, large sums of money really have just been coming in! 

Last year when I totaled up how much money I had made, even though I was unemployed for half of the time because of COVID, it was double what I had ever earned, so over $300,000. 

This year, a deal just kind of fell into my lap. A $100,000 deal!

When my business was new, I definitely took on everything. "Oh, you want to write a book? Cool, I'll ghostwrite for you." I'm a lousy book-length ghostwriter. "Oh, you need blog posts? Sure, I'll do that too. “Oh, you need copy." I was a bang up copywriter. Then I started just doing the book coaching.

I always sabotage myself around finances, as my Maverick comes in and wants to take a risk.

I look at some of the Accumulators in Sacred Money Archetypes and think, "But your money, it's just sitting there. And you don't spend it, it just sits there?" So that Maverick really comes out with, "I have worked really hard to not spend every single penny that comes across my bank account and just get rid of it as quickly as possible."

I know that this will just cause Accumulators to just have heart attacks, but I don't think that debt is bad. I am very comfortable with my credit cards.

If I need something and I'm like, "Cool, how can I juggle this? How can I invest in my business? How can I invest in myself? How can I get training or join this program?"

And the way that really sabotages me is that I carry a lot of debt. I'm constantly living on the edge of feast or famine. And those have been the things that I'm working on, the fine line between the strength of the Maverick archetype and the sabotages of the Maverick archetype. Yet I'm the Maverick in a group of Mavericks, I have not burnt down my business in the last 10 years.

What would you say to someone who wants to join Sacred Money Archetypes?

Sacred Money Archetypes has been so eye-opening for me. Just do it!

If you are having guilt, struggling, or if people are judge-y on something that just comes naturally to you, just go for it.

I’m giving you permission to go for it.

If you have this tingling feeling like, "This doesn't feel authentic to me. This doesn't feel quite right. Maybe I'm just not cut out..." No, you are definitely cut out.

You just need to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. And when you know that, you're going to be able to make grounded decisions in your entire life, not just as an entrepreneur.

Sacred Money Archetypes gives you the tools to understand yourself better and show up in this world as your most authentic you.
