The Two Blocks that Keep Money from Finding You

The struggle to attract more money, clients, and opportunities… it’s rarely about the strategy.

Let’s get straight to the heart of it.

The struggle to attract more money, clients, and opportunities… it’s rarely about the strategy.

It’s almost always about your identity.

You can hustle, you can manifest, you can visualize — but if your identity is rooted in lack, reality will conform to that.

Something tells me you know this already.

You’re someone who creates, who has a vision, but feels an invisible ceiling on your income and impact.

If that’s true, you’re likely facing one of two hidden blocks.

We built both of these walls ourselves. And it took a simple conversation on a drive to the grocery store to see them clearly.

See which one feels more familiar.

Block 1: The Comparison Trap (Cristof’s Story)

You see other creators, solopreneurs, and authors succeeding, and instead of feeling inspired, you feel a gut-punch of self-doubt.

“Why them and not me?”
“What’s their secret?”
“I’ll never get there.”

You’re measuring your Chapter 1 against their Chapter 20.

This isn’t just jealousy. It’s a form of energetic repulsion.

By focusing on your lack, you broadcast a signal of scarcity. You become un-coachable, closed off to the very inspiration that could move you forward.

What you need isn’t another tactic.
You need to dissolve the identity that feels “behind.”

Block 2: The Imposter Syndrome Freeze (Sophia’s Story)

You get a nudge to create something, reach out for a collaboration, or raise your prices… and a voice freezes you.

“Who am I to do this?”
“I’m not an expert yet.”
“I need to be more ready.”

You hold yourself back, believing you need a perfect result before you can even begin.

This isn’t humility. It’s a cleverly disguised form of self-sabotage.

By refusing to put yourself out there, you ensure you’ll never become the person you want to be. You repel opportunity by refusing to open the door.

What you need isn’t more credentials.
You need the identity of a “contributor,” not a “guru.”

The shift out of these blocks isn’t another technique.

It’s a single, powerful question that we now live by. It’s the bridge between your current self and your money magnet self.

“What would the version of me who is already a money magnet do right now?”

This question bypasses the logic of your current circumstances. It pulls the energy, decisions, and actions of your future self into the present.

  • Would that version of you scroll mindlessly, or write 500 words?

  • Would they gossip about a competitor, or send a congratulatory message?

  • Would they hide their work, or hit “publish”?

This is the core of the work we do at Simple and Aligned.

We guide you through these precise identity shifts. We give you the mindsets and the simple, aligned actions to stop chasing and start being the person money, clients, and opportunities are naturally drawn to.

If you’re ready to move from manifesting to embodying, this is your space.

We don’t just teach this because it’s a philosophy.

We teach it because we’ve lived it. We were right where you are, building those same walls.

As always, remember:

Stop chasing. Start being.

— Sophia & Cristof
