SO WHO TAUGHT YOU ABOUT MONEY?
Less
than a month ago, I attended a seminar on 'The Millionaire Mind', at the LAX Airport Marriott Hotel. I make it a point
to go to as many seminars and workshops, as possible. Generally, they're conducted by real people, in charge of real things.
It's the true education of life. Seminars keep your mind sharp and up-to-date on what's going on in the world on the
mental, physical and spiritual aspects of life. You learn a lot of invaluable info along the way. It's the kind of education
you don't get in school, where you should. School is too busy teaching us 'what to think', not 'how to think',
and how to live in a complex world. And the Millionaire Mind was excellent, by the way!
One of the questions
the speaker asked the audience (at least 3-400 people), was 'Who Taught You About Money?' Most people didn't have
a clue, and most of the rest of us never really thought about it consciously, because we're not taught to focus on some
of the most critical issues that affect our entire lives. Why is that, do you think?
Ultimately, what we learned
is that (for the most part), we learn about money from home. Almost exclusively, if you grew up in a poor household, your
'mental money blueprint' reflects a life of poverty. If you grew up in a struggling middle class household, your 'mental
money blueprint' reflects struggle and extreme hard work (possibly living paycheck to paycheck), in your own immediate
family, as well. And if you grew up in a wealthy household, you basically learned how money worked, especially if your family
was depending on you to handle the family's wealth for decades to come. When you weren't physically taught (by your
parents or guardian), you just learned (by osmosis) because you lived there.
There are always exceptions to the
rule, but we're not talking about the exceptions, we're talking about the general rule of thumb. Poor begets poor,
middle class begets middle class, wealthy begets wealthy.
To make your 'mental money blueprint' change
or improve, you must put forth a sincere, determined effort to change it. Here are a few suggestions for empowering your 'mind
about money'.
1) You can read ALL ABOUT WEALTH, finances, taxes, and money magazines to raise your money thoughts.
(Then make a plan, and ACT).
2) You can meditate (to attract better situations, better people and a totally new
environmental change) around you.
3) You can change your subconscious programming through hypnosis and possibly
learning self-hypnosis.
4) You can do what they talked about in the DVD 'The Secret' by
- visualizing
(and applying true deep inner feelings)
- making a Vision Board,
- displaying gratitude and forgiveness, and
- then taking action toward your plans - have a specific intention in mind (and on paper) to work towards.
But whatever road you decide to take, remember it's all up to you. You can have what you want. You simply have to reach
out and take the ole 'dog by it's leash', leading and following your own way to enhancing your successful financial
future.
Struggling and poverty were never the divine plan. A healthy, mental attitude about money is a necessity.
You owe this to yourself, your family and the world. Financial health (for all families) is what empowers our world. So, if
you're not wealthy, and you're not Jesus (walking on water), how do you help feed and clothe the masses?
People that know about money tell you over and over again to FIND YOUR PASSION, FIND THINGS YOU LOVE TO DO and find ways
to make money at it. In addition to that, help others make money in the process, and sooner or later, you'll
realize that's like having 'money in the bank'.
