"Money is all evil." "Rich people steal their way to the top." These are just tiny examples of what people think and believe when you talk with them about money.
How limiting money beliefs hold you back, and how can you solve it?
"Money is all evil."
"Rich people steal their way to the top."
These are just tiny examples of what people think and believe when you talk with them about money. Generation after generation, the same pattern of thoughts is transferred forward…
There is no such thing as bad or good belief. Only effective or ineffective.
It's not my place or anyone else to judge what other people believe. It's only about how this way of thinking helps to get what a person wants.
If you want to have an abundance of money. Working hard isn't enough. It’s always going to be also about your way of thinking.
Actually, who said that you can get an abundance of money only by hard work?😉
You see...
Even when I'm writing about money and am familiar with money beliefs, I still notice some old patterns inside of me.
Why I'm sharing this with you?
Because, in the end, your beliefs define your way of thinking.
And your way of thinking defines your way of action in your daily life. It's like you have a monkey on your shoulder who is telling you "the truth" about everything.
But in reality, there is no truth in any beliefs. It's just a repetitive thought that we get used to.
And in some cases, it's not even your thoughts. Maybe it was your grandmother who influenced you when you were little and vulnerable.
Your money beliefs are the core of your money problems.
Not your job.
Not your business.
Not your partner.
Even if you succeed in your career, when your money beliefs are still ineffective, you will quickly return to the status quo of being broke.
Ask yourself why 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt within a few years.
(National Endowment for Financial Education, 2018).
Is it so hard to get a good financial advisor?
To invest most of the money and become even richer?
Getting a consultant is easy. Working on yourself is the hardest part. Some people who win in a lottery have their beliefs about money so broken that they would not even think to take any advice.
They have so many toxic blind spots in their head that push them to make horrible financial decisions.
The annoying thing about these toxic blind spots is that you can't see them by yourself. It's like a spot on the back of your head. It's there, but you can see it only with a mirror.
And this is where a coach (a real one) can be helpful. A coach can be a mirror to your hidden beliefs that make you stuck in business (and life).
It's the fastest and simplest way to see what's going on. To experience an "Aha moment" and finally make some progress without pressing on a "gas and breaks" all the time.
I used AI to create a list of the main common ineffective beliefs about money. Read all of them and when you feel that you agree with one of them. Stop and pay attention. This can be your blind spot. Try to think about where it came from…
Does thinking in that way help you to achieve what you want?
Can you rephrase this thought in a more effective way for you?
