If Money Wasn’t the Problem… What Would You Do? - #217

“It’s too expensive.”

“I don’t have the money.”

“I could do it if I had more resources.”

Sound familiar?

In this episode, we tackle one of the most common and most limiting beliefs in equestrian sport: that money is the reason your dreams feel out of reach. Yes, this is an expensive sport. And yes, money matters. But what if money isn’t the real thing holding you back?

In this conversation, we explore the idea of the “money tree”, the fantasy that if money suddenly appeared, everything would finally be possible. And then we ask the uncomfortable (but powerful) question: If the money appeared tomorrow… would you actually step up?

Inside this episode, we unpack:

• Why “I don’t have the money” is often a protective story, not the full truth
• How fear hides behind practical excuses
• The difference between dreaming and acting like the person who believes it’s possible
• Why belief must come before evidence
• How your upbringing shapes your money mindset (and how to shift it)
• The danger of waiting for “perfect circumstances”
• Why progress comes from focusing on who you’re becoming, not what you lack
• How small, consistent actions compound over time
• Why doing something today beats doing nothing perfectly
• The mindset shift that turns excuses into opportunities

This episode is not about shaming anyone for not having resources. It’s about honesty. Honesty about the stories we tell ourselves. Honesty about where fear is quietly in control. And honesty about what might be possible if we stopped waiting for permission.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, behind, or frustrated because you believe your circumstances are holding you back, this episode will challenge you, motivate you, and remind you of one important truth: Progress starts the moment you decide to act like the person who believes it’s possible.

If this episode hit a nerve, that’s a sign, not a problem. It means you’re ready to grow.
