| I can’t believe it’s been 19 years since 9/11. I’m sure you are like me and remember exactly where you were. I was on my way to the airport for a business trip to L.A. That trip of course was canceled when all flights were grounded and the world changed forever.
Why am I bringing up 9/11 – beyond the date, it’s because life is short. You never know what events will change it. Why waste a moment of it?
Why waste time obsessing over money, worrying over finances?
I spent years in that swarm of worry and obsession – it sucks the pure joy of life out of you.
So…..today, I want to talk about 4 very powerful money mindset shifts you can (and frankly should) make. It’s time to invest in YOU. If you believe in YOU and see yourself (honestly) as a financially independent person and MANIFEST who you want to become, you will.
A few emails ago I talked about vision casting – it’s time to do it again.
Close your eyes and envision your future self.
- Who do you want that person to be?
- What does the conversation with your older self look like?
- Ask your older self what you should be doing? What you should stop doing? How should you be living your best life?
Write down the conversation and save it, as you’ll want to remind yourself of these wise words as you determine how you will make the money you need to have the life you want.
Four Money Mantras that will get you to where you want to go
- Know what money is and what’s your relationship with it. Money is just an item we use to exchange with others for services and products. That’s it. Yet so many people create this aura around it as being something powerful and significant. You can have it, you can spend it, you can amass it, and you can lose it. How you think of it is the powerful part. The Law of Attraction plays a huge role.
- Understand your SELF WORTH first and foremost! If you constantly say you are poor – you will be because you have a negative mindset around money. Remember – never say “I can’t afford that” – reframe to “ How can I get that?”. If you tell yourself you aren’t smart enough or good enough you probably aren’t going to be earning dollars hand over fist because you have a “low earning versus a millionaire mindset”. Increase your DESERVING QUOTIENT! Think big – because anything is possible.
- Where are you emotionally? Of course, this goes back to your WHY – and that 7 Levels deep exercise! If you don’t have an emotional reason to WANT to accomplish your financial goals – you probably won’t get there. Your WHY isn’t strong enough. You won’t have the internal mojo to keep you motivated when the fear and self-doubt show up. PS – this is a journey – I had to do some self-affirmations yesterday in an area I was struggling with!! You can’t just set goals – you have to get every ounce of your being invested in those goals. You have to have a strong DESIRE! Make a list of all the REASONS you want to accomplish your goals.
- Take ACTION! Once you are crystal clear on what you want, why you want it, and you are so emotionally invested there is no looking back – you have to MOVE. You will get paid in direct proportion to the service and value you bring to the market for which you are requesting payment. So if you aren’t making what you WANT – what are you delivering to the world? I know this sounds deep – but it’s true. If you are working for the man or working for yourself – you are getting paid for what you are delivering.
I want to hone in a bit more on #4 – how to make MORE by taking MORE action.
Yep – I’m going Tony Robbins again on you: Stop looking for Resources and become Resourceful. If you aren’t making the money you want – it’s on YOU, no one else. Money is part of a value system – you get what you give. Simple as that.
How to make more:
- Be honest about your skills and what you are delivering – can you be better? (Ps we all can)
- What must you learn?
- What new skills do you need?
- Who must you connect with that can up level you?
- What beliefs do you need to let go of?
- What personal development do you need?
