Dreaming in Billions: How the Ability to Think Big Creates Wealth
In the worlds of business, entrepreneurship, and personal development, we talk a great deal about setting goals, scaling income, and visualizing success. But what we often fail to explore is why so few people allow themselves to dream on a grand scale in the first place.
To think big — truly big — is to enter vulnerable territory. It requires you to stretch beyond inherited beliefs and childhood imprints. It calls you to defy the silent rules passed down through generations: rules about what is “enough,” what is “appropriate,” what is “realistic.”
Many of us live our entire adult lives still carrying the messages we internalized as children:
And that is why no amount of goal-setting will ever feel truly safe until those shadow beliefs are brought into the light.
One of the great myths of success is that it’s all about action — that the more you do, the more you’ll have. But in truth, many of us already know what to do. We’ve taken the courses, read the books, written the plans. The gap isn’t in knowledge. It’s in permission.
If you’ve ever felt like something invisible holds you back, if your progress seems to stall just as things begin to go well, or if you quietly sabotage the very things you once prayed for — know this: you’re probably hitting the edge of your emotional threshold for wealth.
Expanding that threshold doesn’t require more grit. It requires more grace. More willingness to go inward before you go upward.
And that’s exactly what shadow work offers.
By meeting the parts of you that still believe wealth is dangerous, selfish, or unsafe, you begin to untangle the knot at the center of your ambition. And as you do, something magical happens: your vision expands, and your ability to hold that vision — emotionally, energetically, and practically — begins to match it.
So if you’ve been playing small — not because you want to, but because you’ve been conditioned to — I invite you to reconsider.
Not just your goals, but your entire story.
Not just what you want to do, but who you are willing to become.
Not just how much you can earn, but how much you can allow yourself to receive.
Dreaming in billions isn’t about greed, but about letting your gifts speak at full volume. It’s about claiming the right to create a life that reflects not your fears, but your fullness.
And if that dream feels just out of reach — emotionally, practically, or psychologically — then perhaps the path isn’t to push harder, but to go deeper.
The Shadow of Wealth is a doorway to that depth. It’s a journey. And if you’re ready, it will change not just how you think about wealth — but how you think about yourself.
