Hello and welcome to this Money Mindset PDF guide!

Developing a positive money mindset is a major key to success with money. If you harbour negative ideas around money, it will very likely substantially hinder you in your journey towards financial success.

Developing a positive mindset about money will help you focus on long term success, and stay positive and focused on your direction. Rid your mind of all limiting beliefs around the subject of money. If you find yourself stalling, negative and frustrated at times, take time out to clear your mind of the limiting ideas you may have encountered.

Ideas like “money is the route of all evil”, “money makes people corrupt”, rich people are greedy”, for example are going to impact you negatively. If you have these kinds of thoughts in your mind, they will probably hinder you from taking consistent and persistent forward action towards your goals.

Lets have a look inside your mind to see what potential ideas might be a barrier to you achieving the success you desire.

A Final Exercise: Journaling Your Reasons For Making More Money

In this final exercise, you’re going to journal your reasons for becoming rich. If you don’t believe your becoming rich will be a good thing, for yourself, anyone else, or the world, that’s a huge barrier to you attaining it. Getting clear on this will remind you of your reasoning for becoming rich/wealthy/financially free. If you are attempting to become rich because you feel it will solve a feeling of not being good enough, or some other inner conflict, you might find it’s not a strong enough reason, or you can resolve the conflict in another, easier way. By writing about your reasons, you can create a clear picture of what success looks like to you.

Spend some time journaling out all the reasons it will serve the world for your to become rich, what it will allow you to do, who you will be able to help and so on.

• Why does it serve the world for me to become rich?

If you’re unclear on this, there could be some internal resistance to your continued success if you carry conflicting ideas on this topic.
