7 things you should always recall about money
I thought to myself, how could they have read that book but say something like that shortly after? It’s one of the most powerful books that most people never put their hands on.
This was another classic example of why the phrase knowledge is power is an erroneous one. Knowledge is only power when applied.
Most people will earn an average income for the duration of their lives because they never expand their thinking. I meet with people every day who tell me their ideal salaries. Then they ask me, “is that realistic?”
Is it?
I frequently tell them it’s more than realistic and they should up their rate, but they still don’t believe they can, which is why they are likely to earn less over the duration of their career – robbing them of significant amounts of money over the course of their lifetimes.
7 Things To Easily Recall About Money
If you feel and believe you never have enough, that will be your life experience. Always believe you have more than enough, and abundance will surround you.
There is no limit to your income. You can cut your expenses to zero dollars, but your income has no cap. The bigger your thinking and the more you experiment with ideas to monetize, the more likely you will increase your income.
You don’t have to earn the same amount of money each year. Mentors frequently say if your income isn’t growing, you’re not growing. Remember, our income directly correlates to how much we’re serving others. The more people you serve, the more income you will attract.
Your past has no influence on the amount of money you can earn. It’s better to be born poor than into riches because it creates a hunger, drive, and tenacity that many people born into wealth will never possess. You have a gift if you were born into middle or lower-class circumstances. Use it to your advantage to create and build wealth not only for yourself but to share with others.
The more you educate yourself about finance, the more potential power you’ll possess. Never stop learning, and remember to implement the information you obtain, so you can experience a change in your external circumstances.
The people you consistently hang around do affect you in one way or another. When I hang around people with broke mentalities, if I’m not careful, I will start to adopt their thinking habits, which are small. Surround yourself with people who have expansive thinking.
Money attracts people who know how to wield it, believe they deserve it, and are willing to work to obtain it.
Book Recommendation: If you are struggling with small thinking, broke habits, a scarcity mindset, and limited income, I encourage you to read:
