You need to transform the way that you are approaching building wealth. Fill in the blank with the first thing that you think of: ● Money doesn’t grow on ______. ● Rich people are ______. ● Money is the root of all ______. ● Money can’t buy you ______. ● A penny saved is a ______. ● You can only get rich by ______. These are important because they are so ingrained in the way that we think, the way that we operate and in our money and wealth paradigm. They are what hold us back from inviting the level of wealth in our lives that is possible. It’s time to cash your reality check. It is normal to be broke, drowning in liability debt, ignorant about money and scared. Most people live the opposite of what they proclaim. They say that they don’t need money to be happy, and they don’t need money in their life. But, they are willing—on a daily basis—to exchange their life and time for pennies on the dollar and a paycheck every two weeks. This means that money is the most important thing for you! That is the opposite of what you proclaim. You’ve got to break through this, and transform the illusion around money.

There are two unhealthy relationships that people have with money. 1. People Are So Money Obsessed They Lose Touch of the Big Picture Success Without Fulfillment—when people have a lot of money, but they are broken inside with zero fulfillment. This leads to an unhealthy relationship with money. 2. Money Isn’t Important People pretend that money isn’t important. This actually allows money to control your life, freedom and choices. It’s the ignorance around creating wealth and financial freedom that will lead you to claiming this.
These are both ends of the spectrum, but are equally as unhealthy to creating genuine wealth in your life. There are two common fears around money: 1. The Fear of Failure What happens if I lose everything? What if I end up worse off? 2. The Fear of Success

The fear of responsibility. Is money going to make me a different person? Do I have to give up something to become rich? Will people treat me the same? To break through this, you must realize that the value of money is merely reflective of the value we declare it to have. Money has no intrinsic value at all—it’s a piece of paper. Unfortunately, that piece of paper is controlling most people’s lives! It’s actually just a tool, based on an agreed value—nothing more, nothing less. Money IS important. It’s a variable in the overall equation of creating freedom, financial abundance, fulfillment and more choices in your life. Start creating a meaningful relationship with wealth.
Master the science of wealth creation, and stay true to what brings joy and fulfillment. You can do both! It’s not one or the other.

Here are some important questions: ● Do you believe money is abundant? ● Do you believe wealthy people are good people? ● Do you believe you can simply create wealth? ● Do you have people in your life who speak positively about money? You weren’t born with your beliefs about money. It has been conditioned in you to believe that money is scarce. So was the belief that if you have money, you must have taken it from somebody else. If you believe that rich people are greedy and evil, then why would you want to be rich? If you are striving to become rich, but you have this belief, there will be a resistance that will not allow you to achieve it. Unless you break through these beliefs, it will never be a path that you pursue internally. You can both have money and meaning in your life. You get to start breaking through the conditioning that sent you in the direction of not building wealth in your life. Here are some positive beliefs about money that you can start instilling in your life: Money is a tool that I use to create value, assets and wealth. Wealthy people are good, generous people. I bless wealth, and people that have it. I control the process of creating wealth in my life. The more value I add, the more wealth I attract. I fully control the process of creating wealth.

The transformational role that money plays in your life includes: ● Opportunities ● Freedom ● Choices ● Abundance ● Appreciation ● Contribution Money is a magnifier and a multiplier. It will magnify who you currently are. If you are selfish and greedy, it will only magnify that inner character. If you are a broken person, more money will only magnify that. Your character, integrity and mindset will be magnified with the more money that you have. That’s why you’ve got to build the breakthrough of inner economy now, so that your foundation is solid; when you build this wealth in your life, you have the character that magnifies genuine integrity, purpose and meaning. You’ve got to: ● Accept where things are right now. ● Accept that you may have an unhealthy relationship with money right now. ● Accept where you are so you can acknowledge that you have the power to change it. ● Take immediate action on changing it once and for all. Redefine R.I.C.H.: ● R – Relentless ● I – Integrity ● C – Courage ● H – Honor Say out loud, “I am committed to being rich, so that I can enrich the lives of others!”
