Lesson 1: A Wealthy Mindset
Learning Objective
Discover how to create a wealthy mindset
Our money mindset is the sum of the attitudes, beliefs and ideas that we bring to a situation related to our personal finances. If we can understand our own mindset and what triggers our behaviour with money, we are better equipped to be successful with our money.
How we think and feel about money matters!
To boost our chances of creating and keeping more wealth, we first need a mindset that’s geared towards wealth. When it comes to money, we often create things that don’t exist and limits that stop us from being wealthy.
Our perception of money can be from
a place of scarcity,
living in lack or from a mindset of abundance.
Abundance is your new superpower.
If we focus on what we don’t have, what we’re lacking and can’t afford to buy, we create a scarcity mindset and this fosters resentment to people who have the things that we desire.
Fear is scarcity: fear is the driver of scarcity and together they create a state of anxiousness within us leading us to make less desirable choices.
#Truth. You live an abundant life
and have permission to feel worthy…
Coming from a place of gratitude, creates an abundant mindset and in-turn will help you to attract money into your life. That’s why it’s important we create a wealthy mindset – an attitude that focuses on wealth and guides our journey to abundance.
When we have a wealthy mindset:
- We focus on the positive things, not the negative things in our life.
- We are grateful for everything we already have.
- We choose to think positively about ourselves.
- We see setbacks as an opportunity to learn and grow.
- We know where we want to go and we are focussed on getting there.
- We challenge the false perceptions/limitations that limit our success.
- We believe we are worthy of abundance and success.
