The only thing that stands between you and making more money is your thinking.
Many people believe that they are not capable of earning more money which leads to their self-sabotage. When you don’t think you can earn more money, you do not push hard enough and do not put yourself in a position to earn money.
A stable financial future is dependent on your thoughts and actions. You need to understand and learn how the brain and emotions work in relationship with money.
Your ability to earn more money depends on your choices, friends, freedom, peace of mind, and surprisingly how generous you are. In order to become financially stable, you need to shift your attitude about life.
Following are the initial steps you need to take for changing your thoughts about earning more money:
1. Be focused:
Whenever you talk about the financially successful people around you, you have to be very vigilant about the thoughts that creep into your mind. Any thoughts that are discouraging or show signs of negativity must be discarded right away and you need to be more mindful when you have set yourself up for earning more money. When asked to write one word on a paper, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett wrote “Focus” and both did not know what the other was writing. This is how important the focus is in your life to become financially stable.
2. Don’t hesitate to make a declaration:
When it comes to making money, you have to declare why you want to do that. Be aware of the motivation behind earning more money. You need to be absolutely clear with the motive, and the purpose of spending.
3. Reconsider your assumptions:
There are so many assumptions that will arise in your mind when you think of making more money. These assumptions will hold you back from what you need to do and who you need to be.
In order to stay clear about what you want, you need to challenge these assumptions. Find examples of other people who have prospered despite living in circumstances similar to yours. You will feel motivated that you are capable of earning more money.
4. Replace the negative messages with positive ones:
For making more money and changing your thinking towards it, you will have to recognize the patterns that are holding you back from earning more.
You will have to make a conscious effort to take the steps towards reclaiming the ownership of your income potential. Convert all the negative messages that you have adopted around your financial success with the ones that are wealth-positive. It will help you achieve more and will also enable you to contribute publically.
If we look at the success pattern of all successful people, we find that they all were very conscious of money. They followed a successful money-making routine. Money attracts more money and it says only one word. “Save me today so if needed, I can save you tomorrow“.
It’s all about the attitude towards money, think big, and the results will be big too.
