- Do you find that although you’re honest, loyal, hard-working, committed, and conscientious, yet you’re not making money?
- You attend the seminars, read the books, and apply the principles, but nothing seems to work?
Don’t worry; there is a rational reason.
Your Values Determine Your Value
Too many times, we assume that we’re free of negative, limiting conditioning. Watch this video to see how your values determine why one gets rich or not.
Our beliefs about money and value and our self-esteem regulate and control our choices and the results we get. When our philosophy, values, beliefs, and priorities are properly aligned to wealth and success, everything changes.
If we:
- Love what we do,
- Believe in what we do,
- When we are grateful for what we do and have,
we remove limitations from our lives.
Take Inventory
Guilt, resentment, and fear will hobble even the most intelligent, hard-working people. Take inventory. Reassess what you value. Look at your real priorities.
- What do you spend your time and energy on?
Examine what you believe, and you will find out why you’re not getting rich. We always have the energy and time for things that are highest on our values. Money flows to your values.
- Where are you most disciplined, organized, and focused?
- What do you think about and read about most?
- What do you secretly wish for? Why? Why is it a secret?
- What is your internal dialogue?
- Where do you spend your time?
- What do you talk about?
- What do you emotionally react to?
- Those are your highest values – that’s what you are dedicated to. Is it making you rich?
We’ve all been conditioned and continue to be conditioned by the people in our lives and the information we’re exposed to. We all have values hierarchies or priorities, and the good news is that these can be adjusted, reinterpreted, and reprioritized. It’s all about interpretation and perception.
- How do you define “wealth”?
- What do think “rich” means?
Living a Life Congruent with Money
For example, if your highest priority is your kids, you might presently prioritize spending time with your children over working on your business, so you neglect your business or apply less passion to it, than, for example, building kits with your kids.
By understanding that your business can provide you with the passive income, money, and time for a better quality of life for your children, plus their education, security, and peace of mind, you can increase the priority of your business and see more “purpose” in it.
The meaning that we apply to our different options determines how we value them. By linking your priorities to the right activities and discipline, you can effect the changes you want.
Your Feelings About Money
- How do you actually feel about money?
- Do you secretly believe that rich people are dishonest, that money is the root of evil, or that money is a “necessary evil”?
- Do you feel guilty about having money?
- Do you resent others who have more than you do?
- Do you feel bad when you have money while others don’t?
- Does that cause you to subconsciously sabotage your own success?
- Is your philosophy one of collectivism, or mysticism and superstition, as opposed to capitalism?
- Do you feel you don’t deserve to be rich because of your past “sins” or bad choices?
- Do you feel responsible for the choices that others make? Do you have low self-esteem?
Getting in touch with what you really want and believe is sometimes daunting and threatening, however confronting our true values is essential if we want to change our circumstances.
Empowering Your Beliefs
Removing the source or root of bad beliefs, replacing disempowering beliefs with good ones, and taking the time to think through this stuff, is easiest when you surround yourself with the right people and expose your mind to the right information.
In order to break free of these limiting beliefs and arrange a mindset that makes it possible to reinterpret your values priorities, I suggest you read Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”, which I guarantee will change you life if you are serious about financial freedom.
