Are You Creating a Wealth-Conscious Mentality?

Do you find yourself feeling worried or concerned at times with everything that’s going on? Unless you’re living on a remote island, it’s nearly impossible not to be somewhat affected by what’s going on in the world. But the good news is, it doesn’t have to stay that way.

This is when creating a positive mindset makes all the difference if you are to succeed in your business. When I speak about the mindset, I’m talking about the thoughts and beliefs you have about yourself as a business owner or entrepreneur. Now, more than ever, it’s important to create a positive mindset, and stop believing everything you’re hearing or reading.

In fact, I recommend you reduce the amount of time you watch TV or read a newspaper. Believe me, you won’t miss anything. The people around you will fill you in on what’s happening and that’s all you need to know.

I know it’s easy to get sucked into what they’re saying. It takes a conscious effort on your part to keep yourself focused and positive. It’s easy to blame others when things aren’t coming your way. But doing that increases the chances of attracting more of the same.

Did you know that more millionaires are created during difficult economic times than any other time? That’s right, even during a recession, millions of people continue to make money.
How do people make money during challenging economic times? They have created a wealth-conscious mentality for building wealth. Their thoughts and feelings match their actions, and that leads to results.

How can you create your own wealth-conscious mentality? It’s simple if you follow these 5 easy steps:

1. Focus on Creating More
   Focus on creating wealth instead of losing money. Remember the more you think you’re losing money, the more you will lose money. Think in terms of words such as “more, plenty of, and abundance.” For example, I am making more money, I have an abundance of clients, I am attracting more opportunities, and there is plenty more where that came from!
2. Choose Your Life
   When you choose your life just the way it is and the way it isn’t, you’re no longer resisting what you have. By letting go of the resistance, it unblocks your energy flow and allows new energy to come to you. During my illness, I chose to live and that gave me freedom and power to do something about it. I then got into action and designed a plan to heal myself. I found the right doctors, joined a support group, and surrounded myself with supportive and loving people. And, met and married the man of my dreams!
3. Take Responsibility
   Although we may say we know we’re responsible for our lives, we don’t always want to be accountable for taking responsibility. When you take responsibility for your actions, you give up any reasons, excuses, or justifications not to do something. As the well-know author, Brian Tracey, says, “The mark of excellent people is that they refuse to make excuses, blame others, or complain about their situations. Instead they say ‘I am responsible’ over and over again.”
4. Move Beyond Your Fears
   There are two types of fear. The first fear is a real fear. When someone is about to push you out of an airplane—now that’s real fear! The second fear is imagined fear. When you think something bad is going to happen that hasn’t happened yet. We all experience imagined fear from time to time in our lives—it’s part of being human. Fear of not being good enough, fear of failing, or fear of succeeding. These are not real fears although you may have the same bodily sensations as real fear. However, remember, fear can be an acronym for...False Evidence Appearing Real. What there is to do is notice the fear, distinguish it’s not a real fear and get into action!
5. Believe in Yourself
   When you believe in yourself, you have the power to move through any obstacle because at the core you believe in who you are. Nothing will stand in the way of you achieving what you want. You have created a solid foundation of who you are and feel secure within yourself. The key steps to believing in yourself start with loving who you are, accepting yourself and others just as they are, appreciating your accomplishments, and being grateful for all that you have in your life. Sound simple? Yes, it is and you’ll start seeing a change as soon as you start practicing the steps.

Assignment:

1. Write your own sentence for each of the words I mention…more, plenty of, and abundance. (For example: More sales are coming my way. There is plenty of money. I am attracting an abundance of clients.) Read this list daily. When you first get up in the morning and before you close your eyes at night.
2. If there’s someone or something in your life you’ve been resisting or putting up with, stop resisting and accept as is. Remember what you resist…persists. As you stop resisting and let go, start to notice what opens up for you.
3. Take an area of your life where you’ve been blaming or complaining about something, and change that by taking responsibility for it. (For example: My business is slow because of the economy. Change that to: I’m going to increase my networking and reach out to more people.)
4. Take on one thing in your life that you’ve been afraid to take on and do it today! You’ll see when you take action, the fear of doing it is much greater than after you take action.
5. Make a list of at least 10 areas of your life that you are grateful for. Then ask someone close to you to do the exercise too and share what you wrote with one another.
