None of us really enjoy talking about money ? I promise I’ll make this painless though; you can come out from under your desk now. Before I get started, let’s recap our last talk. I told you how spending time around people who are successful can help you to achieve the things that you want out of life. If you are trying to get ahead, you need to spend less time around people who will hold you back.
While I’m not urging you to drop your friends, you should give some consideration to the environment around you. Most of us rend to associate with people whose salaries are similar to our own. Think about how the people you know deal with money ? are they enjoying financial freedom, or do they instead spend their time worrying about money and are always broke?
You need to come to a clearer picture of how money works and learn from those who have achieved the kind of success that you want for yourself. These people must be doing something right; spend time with these people and learn what you can from them.
People who have managed to get to the point where they enjoy financial freedom are aware that money is nothing more or less than another form of energy. When you think the right way about money, you will have little trouble attracting it to you. Many think that the only way to become a success is by years of hard work ? not to take anything away from work, but it’s not the whole story.
To attract money, you have to have a good relationship with it. Since money is a form of energy, all you have to do is be able to attract it to you. This energy is all around you, waiting to be tapped into.
This is the biggest thing which separates the wealthy from the poor- this understanding of how money works. This is also why you need to do something you love. This helps you to build a better relationship with money; and the better your relationship with money; the easier it will be to attract it.
Feeling good about your job or career is the best thing you can do for your success and you will find that the most successful people in this world are in love with what they do for a living. It is possible to make money doing what you don’t love to do, but there will always be a limit to your financial success. Why? Because you won’t feel good about what you’re doing? And that means that what you’re doing isn’t in alignment with what you really want.
Secondly, spend time with people who make a lot of money and observe them. You will find out quickly that their energy, actions and words are probably very different from your own. You won’t hear a wealthy person say, “I can’t afford that.” That’s because they understand that money is nothing more than energy ? there’s no such thing as not having enough. It simply comes down to how they feel about money. The wealthy feel good about money; the poor worry about money. In both cases, their relationship (or energy alignment) determines how much or little they have.
The goal is to find a way to feel good about money in whatever way you can. When you feel good about money and have a positive relationship with it, you will absolutely attract it.
