Money Thoughts Produce Money Results

Money & Your Mind, , , , , , ,

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7

What do you think is your biggest problem with money? Is your income too small to take care of your everyday needs? Are your material desires always in excess of the money in your pocket? Is your bank account continually empty? Do you always have to borrow money to survive? Are you unable to accumulate enough funds to achieve your major financial goals?

Over several years of helping persons to improve their relationships with money, I have come to realise that the root cause of the financial issues they experience has little to do with figures and balances. For most people, the number one problem is not a lack of funds or viable opportunities. Instead, their major obstacle has to do with how they think about money.

Developing Your Millionaire Mindset

Money & Your Mind, , , , , , , , , ,

Last week, we introduced a fascinating audio book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, in which author T Harv Eker explains how people’s thoughts can actually influence their financial results. This week, we explore some of Eker’s insightful suggestions about how you can create a mindset for wealth.

Acknowledge that you create your results

It’s important to understand that you have the ability to design the destiny that you desire. Eker insists that you are the “steering wheel of your financial life” as you have the power to create what you have or what you don’t have. Unfortunately, too many people never achieve their goals because they think that forces outside of their control are responsible for their success or failure.

Instead of taking responsibility for their future, Eker explains, people with poverty mindsets often blame other people and circumstances for their money problems. They also try to justify their financial lack with comments such as, “Money is not that important to me.”

Constant complaining is another form of negative energy that actually ensures that they only attract more problems. Continue reading Developing Your Millionaire Mindset →

Who Wants to Have a Millionaire Mind?

Money & Your Mind, , , , , , ,

Here’s a fantasy scenario: If you had to choose between getting a million dollars in your hand tomorrow, and being given the mind of a millionaire but no money at all, which option would you take? Would you say, ‘I’ll take the money!’ or ‘I’ll take the mind’?

There are many benefits to be obtained from having access to a large sum of money; the opportunities for profiting from a sudden influx of wealth should be almost immeasurable. Yet we constantly hear unfortunate stories of persons who have received sudden fortunes, such as lottery winners, and who end up losing all their money in a short time.

On the other hand, there are inspirational tales of very wealthy people who, through business failure or some major calamity, lost everything they worked hard for, only to regain it in a few short years.

Donald Trump’s riches-to-rags-to-riches-again story comes readily to mind as a perfect example of someone who, although he lost his money, didn’t lose his ability to make money. Continue reading Who Wants to Have a Millionaire Mind? →

Discovering Your Money Blueprint

Money & Your Mind, , , , , , ,

I like to encourage people to continuously seek knowledge and information about various topics. Keeping abreast of changing trends is especially crucial in the world of finance, as these can help you to find opportunities to create wealth. When it comes to money, I have found that you can never learn too much about it.

When I began my search for the secret to financial success many years ago, at first I was only hoping to find some answers to help me to fix my own money problems. However, the more I researched, the greater my desire became to discover how the essential principles of money could be harnessed to help more persons break free of financial bondage.

As an avid reader, I prefer to get financial information from written material. Ironically, it was the audio recording of a book, and not the printed version, that gave me the solution to a money mystery that I had been trying to figure out for a very long time: “Why do some people struggle with money for their entire lives?” Continue reading Discovering Your Money Blueprint →

Tips on Negotiating to Save Money

“In business, you don’t get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.” – Chester L. Karrass

Many times when we’re trying to save money we overlook the powerful strategy of negotiating to get a better deal. A business transaction normally involves the consumer asking for the price and agreeing to work with it, or walking away from the deal because the terms are not suitable. We’re often afraid or embarrassed to negotiate to get a more advantageous arrangement.

Last week, I attended an intensive seminar organized by Peak Potentials, which revealed street-smart tactics to help business people get ahead. One of the topics we were trained on was the art of negotiation.

By testing the simple strategies we learnt, in the real business environment around the seminar location, we discovered how easy it was to negotiate and save a lot of money on practically anything. Continue reading Tips on Negotiating to Save Money →

Steps To Achieving Your Money Goals

Goals, , ,

“I wrote my usual resolutions at the start of the year to make some improvements to my finances, but already I’ve slipped back into some bad habits like buying unnecessary items at the supermarket. It’s one thing to make the resolutions, but how do you actually carry them out successfully?”

The challenge with resolutions is that they are often in direct opposition to your normal behaviour pattern. To achieve your new goals, you will have to break the old, comfortable habits that have prevented your progress, and create new routines for success.

Many times it is very difficult for people to change their lifestyle, even if they know it’s bad for them. As they say, ‘old habits die hard.’

Increase Your Net Worth

Wealth, , , ,

“I daydream constantly about being wealthy. I’m fed up with not earning enough money, and tired of having to scrimp each month to make ends meet. What should I be doing now so that one day I can really be rich?”

I believe that at some point, everybody has fantasized about being very wealthy and living like the upper class on “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” While most people never realize that dream, a select few have been able to figure out a way to make the wealth gods smile in their favour.

What is it that separates this small percentage of the population that has achieved great riches from the rest of the world? One of the reasons, according to T. Harv Eker, bestselling author of the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, is that people who are determined to be rich focus on increasing their net worth. Continue reading Increase Your Net Worth →
