We have formed a story in our minds about money and then we continually find the evidence around us to support it.
We don’t get the evidence first; we start with the belief and then we go and get the evidence to support it.
I made significant money selling cell phones at a young age – starting in August 1993, only to have lost it by 1999. Made it again, only to take a substantial hit in 2007 and 2008.
And now, I have made it again.
What is the lesson and what can you learn from it?
Check your “story”, your personal belief in this area and see if it’s what you want it to be.
If it’s not what you want it to be, let’s visit about it, I am happy to assist you with it.
Our story around money is either costing us millions or making us millions,
which is it for you?
What is your current belief around money?
- Why are so many people broke?
- How do the wealthy think about money?
- Is the conversation around money empowering us?
- Do we have a scarcity or abundant mindset around money?
- What is your story? What do you want it to be? Are you sure?
- Are you clear about it? Can you articulate it? Why would you want to?
- How does this show up in our life today?
- How do we want it to show up in our life today? Are you sure?
Before a sound strategy, you must have an abundant belief around money for it to empower you and those around you.
The story we tell ourselves is what helps us get what we want. If this is true, all the more reason to be clear about what we are telling ourselves.
We then get to destroy the old belief and create a new one and/or add to our old one.
We may like our story and we want to continue to allow it to empower us. Great!
Whichever one it is, be clear about it and leverage it deliberately in your lives. Acknowledge that it plays a major role in our lives to having wealth or not having wealth.
