How to Harness Courage and Creativity to Become The Wealthiest Version of Yourself

by D'Arcy Benincosa

How to Harness Courage and Creativity to Become The Wealthiest Version of Yourself with Merel Kriegsman and D'Arcy Benincosa on The Play It Brave Podcast

From cleaning toilets to making 7-figures as a Women’s Wealth Advocate – Merel Kriegsman was my business mentor last year, and she has such golden nuggets of wisdom about what wealth truly means and how to go from a place of unfulfilled potential to one of wealth and fulfillment. She dives into how you can harness your creativity and courage to become the wealthiest version of yourself. If you’re struggling with the idea of being or becoming a wealthy woman, this one’s for you.

About Merel Kriegsman:

Women’s Wealth Advocate and Business Mentor Merel Kriegsman is the CEO and founder of Merel Kriegsman Media – a company that has helped hundreds of women globally ascend into SELF-FUNDED WEALTH. 

She’s dedicated to helping women break the chains of generational scarcity, and step into becoming unapologetic female leaders who fearlessly demand what they’re worth – and get it.

Her insights on women & wealth have been featured on CBS news, ABC news and in publications like Forbes, Fast Company and Good Housekeeping, and she was recently quoted in an article in Entrepreneur entitled, “7 Tips to Hit 7 Figures in 2020 and Beyond”, alongside Sir Richard Branson.

Key Takeaways:

  • When you step into financial self-sovereignty, you step out of this survival mode, and step into defining your version of wealth.
  • Wealth doesn’t have to mean buying more stuff, traveling more, or having a mansion. You get to define what wealth means to you, and when you have enough.
  • Define what the essentials are for you to be well and happy. Not all of those things have to be bought with money.
  • Use your privilege as much as you can in a positive way. Lift up others so that they can also have the privilege that you have. 
  • When you have that purpose, dedication, and drive, your fears and nerves sort of take a backseat and the courage takes over.
  • When it comes to pricing yourself, you need to pull together your personal and business expenses, as well as taxes to create a monthly revenue goal. Then reverse engineer what your prices need to be in order to meet that goal.
  • When you know that information, you’re able to feel more confident in your pricing and what goes into that.
  • If you had 10x the courage, how would you act and what would you charge?
  • Start living richly now. You don’t have to wait for the money to come in to start feeling wealthy. This goes back to the question: What makes you feel wealthy?
  • Messaging is really a question of keeping your ear to the ground and being hyperaware of what your clients are saying and what they need.
  • You don’t need impressive followings, newsletter lists, etc in order to be wealthy. Merel fills her programs and makes 7 figures solely through referrals and the excitement around being a part of her program.
  • Stay in your lane and choose one or two things that you want to be known for and do them impeccably. The more you simplify, the more money you make because you can serve people better and not be spread thin.
