Mental Strength Tip #52 – Money Limits And Personal Success

Aug 082011

Welcome back to another Mental Strength Tip!

Can you believe it? It’s been one year since I started this tips! I hope you’ve been printing them out, answering the questions and enhanced your mental strength.

I have really enjoyed writing these tips for you and will continue them for at least another year.

Achieving personal success and reaching your personal goals begins with a mental strength mindset of empowering beliefs. Reaching your peak potential starts in your mind…and finishes with taking inspired and massive action.

This is one in a series of virtual life coaching tips to help start your week of strong so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.

I take one subject and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct questions. The intention of this virtual ‘life coaching’ session is for you to write the questions in your success journal and then reflect on them and write your answers and thoughts in your journal.

These series of posts are for YOU! If I’m not able to coach you personally one-on-one over the phone or in The 2^nd Passage, I want you to at least get the benefit of a “virtual” mental strength coaching session.

Enjoy!

Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:

To help you understand what the accumulation of massive wealth will and will not do for you. This tip will help you make the distinction between success, fulfillment and happiness. I want to help you comprehend that if you’re not happy without wealth, you won’t be happy with it, and the having money simply makes you more comfortable.

Let’s Get Started:

Remember that nothing among the average population is more misunderstood than money. Most average people believe money is the magical solution to all their problems.

My job here, as you virtual mental strength and life coach, is to help you understand the limits of money without destroying your desire to acquire it.

You need to understand that money is extremely important, but has very little to do with happiness. Studies have shown that once a person adjusts to their new-found wealth, they quickly revert back to their previous level of happiness and fulfilment, no matter how bad it was.

Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Mental Strength Thinking and Money:

What role does money play in your current level of happiness?
If you doubled your net worth, would it impact your level of happiness?
What would you do with your life it you ten millions dollars in the lottery today?

Unsupportive Beliefs about Money

Money is the root of all evil.
Rich people got that way by taking advantage of people.
Rich people are greedy and ruthless.
Money doesn’t grow on trees.

Mental Strength Beliefs about Money

Rich people have total control over how they spend their time.
Great wealth comes from big ideas
Money has little do with happiness
Rich people can help and support others and charities.

Outrageous Questions:

Do your results demonstrate you understand money and how it works?
Are you expecting money to make you happier?
Are you efforts congruent with the wealth you desire to accumulate?

Reflective Questions:

Do you believe it’s possible to double your income in the next year?
If you doubled your income, how do you believe it would affect your feelings of personal success, fulfillment and happiness?
What do you believe is holding you back from earning more money?

Mental Strength Coaching:

Remember the most people would love to earn more money but are unaware of how to do it, because they’ve been conditioned though formal education, parents, society to think in confined and linear terms.

My job here is to help you believe it’s possible to become wealthy (in monetary terms) and at the same time help you realize that becoming wealthier won’t make you happier, just more comfortable.

I strongly encourage to work towards creating wealth with a full understanding of what money will and will not do for you.

Final Thought

Great persistence and patience is required around creating mental strength thinking around money and wealth due to the years of “average thinking” programming.

Look for as many real world examples to chip away at your limiting beliefs and thinking around the creation of wealth,

If you’d like to get started on developing a rock solid mindset for creating wealth, money and happiness at the same time request your Introductory Consultation today!

10 Reasons Why You’re Not Living In Abundance

Mental Strength, Personal Develpoment No Responses »

Sep 102010

: Image via Wikipedia

The DNA of Prosperity – Delight in the Nature of Abundance…it’s our natural state delivered by the Universe as Law. There are hundreds of old scrolls, tablets and documents that instruct us that when we ‘delight’ in the Law we will prosper.

During the past few months I’ve had numerous e-mails on the subject of prosperity, more then any other subject. And given the perceived sate of the economy this doesn’t surprise me (note that I said “perceived” as opposed as “real”). I’ve been asked for assistance in helping individuals demonstrate prosperity – again please note that I did not say “attract” or “create” I said demonstrate. There is a huge energetic difference in these terms.

I usually begin where the seeds for scarcity are sown – in the unconsciousness – and then show the person how to break free of that trance. In the process, I’ve developed ten basic reasons why people are not acheiveiing their personal success and living with affluence.

We still feel guilty about something from the past.
We are not living in a state of forgiveness toward ourselves and others.
We feel that the mother-father-parent does not approve of our work and lifestyle, and are carrying that projection of their disapproval in our energetic field.
We have given ourselves a “Report Card” with an F, D, or C for life-at-the-present-time. We think of ourselves as a failure, or poor, or just average, and the Universe responds accordingly.
We don’t love as much as we are capable of loving.
We have not made the conscious decision to live in a state of all-sufficiency, have not chosen, declared, and decreed a life more abundant.
We have not accepted the Truth that The Universe has already provided lavish abundance for us as a mighty Thought-form in the depths of our consciousness.
We look to the world of effects for our prosperity, rather than to the Delightful Presence within living AS the reality of our being.
We treat, pray, and affirm, trying to create abundance, to make something happen. It’ll never happen if we keep hammering away and remain attached to results, but it will when we let go and let Spirit complete the job.
We forget the awesome power of sharing, not to please our Higher Self and have more abundance poured out for our use, but to please ourselves through the great law of cause and effect. It never fails. Through generosity we expand our consciousness, which allows more supply to become visible.

I’d like to take a momentum and discuss deeper this term ‘demonstrate’, instead of attract, create or develop.

Attract, create and develop all come with a presupposition that there is lack or something is missing. Where as ‘demonstrate’ presupposes that what you are going to demonstrate is already there.

If you demonstrate, you have to have muscles and strength. If you demonstrate health, you have to be healthy. To demonstrate prosperity, you have to be prosperous.

So by using your mental strength and contemplate the number of ways to demonstrate abundance, your unconscious will automatically find ways to fill the requirements so that you can demonstrate abundance. There is no lack in the process.

Do you get it!? I hope so, ‘cause this is a powerful mind shift that can help remove effort and frustration when it comes to your personal success and personal development.

If you’d like some coaching around this subject request an Introductory Consultation. Also, the e-book, “How to Develop the Mental Strength of a Warrior” goes over this as well.

: Cover of Grow Rich!: With Peace of Mind

Keep your thoughts focused on what you want in your life, not on what you don’t want.

We’ve just recently started to discover the internal workings of the mind; however we have long known the results of our thoughts. Whenever you focus on not missing a target as opposed to on hitting it, the outcome in many cases is miserable, for it is impossible to think negative thoughts in a positive way.

Ask any golfer who’s attempted not to miss a putt or a bowler who’s struggled not to miss a strike. Make certain your goals are specific and exact. “Making a lot of money” or “earning regular promotions” are wishes, not goals. State exactly how much money you expect to earn and when, and the specific promotion you want, how you plan to earn it, and when you expect to do so.

As Carlson Companies Chairman Curt Carlson once noted, “Obstacles are those frightening things you see when you take your eye off the target.”

If you’re target is wealth, are you focused on creating wealth…or are you focusing on not going broke? You can only hold one thought. Here’s what Dr. Napoleon Hill has to say about “wealth creates wealth”

“Wealth creates wealth. A large sum of money in the hands of one man generally does not create as much wealth as does money which circulates, provided that those who handle its circulation are interested in creating wealth.

A man’s happiness and peace of mind depend on his sharing all kinds of wealth. Business relations cannot properly be described as a relationship of love between buyer and seller; yet when the idea of service to one’s fellow men comes into the relationship, much that is profitable to both parties also enters in. “A little bit of myself,” said Henry Ford, “goes into every automobile that rolls off our assembly lines, and I think of every automobile we sell, not in terms of the profit it yields us, but in terms of the useful service it may render the purchaser.” Thomas A. Edison said: “I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others.”

The idea that a business should give its customers more than a product for a price is not new, and history proves it creates both good businesses and good customers. Good relations between an industrial employer and his employees, however, are not very old as history goes. This is natural enough when we consider that enterprises which employ people by the thousand have not been with us more than a few generations. They are a great way for the owner of the business to make money, and unfortunately many a labor force has been badly treated in the process.

In past years we have our own era of those industrial pirates who never thought of sharing with their employees the wealth their employees helped to create. While they made a great show of their money in New York, Newport or Palm Beach those men would have sneered at the idea that a society needs a large number of well-paid people who are able to buy more goods and lead better lives.

Millionaires are far more numerous today. More than five thousand new millionaires have so declared themselves on their tax returns in the last decade. Also, as I have mentioned, today’s millionaires do not seem to want the notice that rich men used to require. Most of my readers will not recognize the names of some of the present-day millionaires and multimillionaires I have cited.

Nor do today’s moneyed men seem anxious to form a definite class to which the poor may not aspire. I quote Arthur Decio, who made so much money in building and selling mobile homes: “It’s easier to get ahead than it was fifteen or forty years ago. Look at the population growth and the tremendous rise in personal income . . . . This country is just loaded with opportunities.”

So it is, and many of the opportunities would not exist if wealth were not better distributed than it used to be. Employers have seen the value to themselves, to their people and to society of taking workers into partnership with industry. A capitalist society proves over and over that it is the best way to create maximum, widespread wealth. “ Source: Grow Rich! With Peace of Mind. 1967. Fawcett Crest. Pgs. 80 & 81.

Let me ask you….when you pay your bills do think of it as “circulating wealth” or is it a burden and something you don’t look forward to? By shifting our perspective from spending money to circulating wealth our personal success will be dramatically affected.

This shift does take mental strength and practice and when this mindset is mastered you will actually feel the difference. You’ll feel it when you pay for groceries, gas and even going out to eat. When you think of these a means for circulating wealth, wealth will return to you.

Let me know your thoughts about this in the comments below.

Excellent Results Begins With Excellent Thinking

Purpose of this tip:

To assist you in improving your beliefs regarding the manifestation of money, abundance and personal success – and to remove any limiting beliefs around the wealth creation process.

Getting Started:

We’re going delve into your core beliefs about money, personal success and abundance. This “coaching session” is designed specifically to uncover and clear a huge area of doubt and confusion around money and abundance. It will also help in clearing any limiting mindset, which might be holding you back from achieving your complete person success and peak potential. The intent of this post is to assist you in gaining clarity around money, success and abundance; this clarity will have a direct impact on every other area of your life as well.

It is crucial that you take time to contemplate the questions and then write down the answers. If you haven’t done so yet, you might want to start a journal for these “sessions.”

As I mentioned in my last post – Mental Strength Tip #1 – these “coaching session” are going to take place over the next months. So recording the questions and your answers will help in creating the mental strength required for personal development, personal success and peak performance.

Write these questions in your journal and then contemplate them and write you HONEST answers.

Mental Training Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Money:

What is your philosophy on success and making money?
Is success and making money easy or difficult?
Why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?

Possible Limited Beliefs on Abundance and Wealth

(Do any of these sound familiar or similar to your existing thoughts?)

I’ll wreck my personal life I attempt to become wealthy
Rich and successful people are snobs, crooks and connivers.
I don’t care that much about making a lot of money.

Suggested Supportive and Empowering Beliefs on Abundance and Wealth

(These would be beliefs to install and replace any limiting financial beliefs)

Achieving success and making money is fun and easy.
I deserve success, abundance and wealth.
My results are tied directly to my thoughts and to have success, abundance and wealth I think empowering and supportive thoughts about success, abundance and wealth.

Mental Strength Questions

Do you feel you know all about abundance and money? Have you head all this before? Then if you’re so “smart” and “know that” why aren’t you more successful and living the life you TRULY desire?
Who do you listen to about money?
- Financial experts or wealth and abundant people?
- Do they have what you desire?
What is stopping you from becoming financially free? (by honestly answering this question, your limiting beliefs will surface to the top)

Questions to Ponder

Are you really interested in becoming financially free and independent?
What would you need to change in your thinking to achieve more success and create more wealth and abundance?
How would you build a personal success team of mentors to help you become more abundant, successful and wealth?

Coaching Success:

Most people have a low financial net worth. We know the root cause of this is limited and non-supportive thinking and beliefs. The masses will deny they even care about money. The objective here is to get you thinking about personal success, peak performance and how they relate to money and abundance. In addition I want you to look at your beliefs about wealthy people. After all, if you want to be wealthy and you think the wealthy are dishonest, scam artist or any other similar disempowering thought, how will you be able to achieve wealth with these types of thoughts holding you back?

Money is one of the most misunderstood and maligned concepts in history. The beliefs your hold will not change overnight…be patient. This session is to uncover the limiting beliefs and change them with supportive and empowering thoughts and ideas that will turn into beliefs….remember one step at time.

It would probably be well worth it to review this session weekly for awhile then monthly and then quarterly. Each repetition will uncover new thoughts and beliefs.

If you’d like some one-on-one coaching around this subject, please Contact Me.

Let me hear from you, what are your thoughts on money in the comments below.
