How To Develop The Mindset Of A Millionaire And Rewire YOUR Mind For Success

 

Why are some people rich and others poor?  Why is it, that when someone wins the lotto, usually after 3 years, they often have nothing left or are more in debt than when they started?  Is it by accident?  Of course not!  The reason is, the persons psychology, their mindset.

 

How would you like to be among the elite few who always seem to be successful with money no matter what happens to them.  If so, read on.

 

The first thing you need to do in order to rewire your subconscious for wealth creation, is to answer a few simple questions about financial pressure.  When I refer to financial pressure I am not necessarily talking about being broke and struggling, you can be wealthy and still have financial pressure.  There is no right or wrong answer, only answers applicable to you.

 

1. When was the last time you felt financial pressure?
2. Do you currently feel financial pressure in your life?
3. Does having more money really create less financial pressure?
4. When have you felt completely free from financial pressure?

 

For some people, being completely free from financial pressure might have been as far back as when they were at school.  It could have been when they got pocket money and had to determine where to buy a packet of Smarties or put it in their piggy bank, and for others it may have been never!

 

Apart from happiness, what is it you think that people really want in their life?  I dare say the reason you are reading this is because you want a financial future that you are certain about.  You want the certainty to be able to manage money, have plenty of it and never have to worry about not having enough of it.  Anyone would want that, and another term for that is security.

 

I believe that people really want to be certain that in the future they will not have to experience pain, that instead, they will have the financial freedom to do whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want, with whomever they want, and as much as they want.

 

I know the quest  for financial certainty drove me, because I had so much uncertainty and so much pain in my life and I never wanted to experience that again.  So I was driven to become financially successful to avoid that pain.  Pain drove me in the beginning more than pleasure.  Pain is what drives people the most.  If you have made a decision to start changing your life, or changing your financial future, eventually it will lead to more pleasure, but more than likely it is pain that drove you to your initial decision to change.  Subconsciously you were probably thinking, “If I do not learn how to master money now, what will it really cost me in the future?.”

 

One of my mentors, Tony Robbins, talks about the fact that humans make decisions based on two primary factors.  The first factor is to avoid pain, the second factor is to gain pleasure.

 

You may think that this is so simplistic, but when we look at most of our decisions in life you can see that it is true.  For example, why do women wear makeup?  Some say they wear makeup because it gives them pleasure and they really enjoy it.  Others may say, “I do not put it on for pleasure, it is a damn pain!  I hate having to do it every morning, but I do it to avoid the pain of what people will say if they see me without it on.” (No offence ladies)

 

Most of us will do more to avoid pain than we will to gain pleasure.  This is important because consciously, if we link pleasure to money and get excited and start doing things to be financially successful, we will start to move forward.  At the same time, if we are still linking pain to money, subconsciously, as soon as we start to see some success, we will end up self-sabotaging it.

The following exercise can help your rewire your own mind for financial success.  It takes about 20 to 30 minutes and you will need to do it with a friend or your partner.  What we want to do is rewire the subconscious mind.  If we could do that, then we would be automatically driven on autopilot to financial success.  However, if we do not change our subconscious mind then it would not matter what investment opportunities we come across, we would keep self-sabotaging our success.

 

How do you know if you are wired like that?  If you are like most people you probably will be wired that way because that is how society conditions us.  Now you can see the importance of the exercise, and it is a simple process to ensure our nervous system is very clear that more wealth will equal more pleasure.

 

This exercise is designed to go beyond the conscious mind to access the subconscious files we link to money.  When you first begin, you will more than likely only be answering from your conscious mind, which will give you automatic conscious answers.  Eventually, you will exhaust all your conscious answers and begin to call on the files of your subconscious mind.  This will be evident from small changes in your physiology.  Your eyes will lower and this is a sign you are more in touch with your emotions.  Then your brain will begin searching past subconscious files, and past memories will come to consciousness.

 

An example may be that perhaps as a young kid your parents may have fought over money, and you felt stressed about that.  You will be amazed at what may start to come up.  Even later, after the exercise is over, maybe even a week from now, your brain will keep coming up with files, and you will start to recall memories that you have attached to money.   Then you can start to understand what is really going on in your subconscious.  It will give you the chance to look at it differently and move on.

 

Get your partner to ask you these three questions.  As you answer the questions, get your partner to write down your replies.  Your partner will need to keep asking each question until your answers have been completely exhausted in each area.  Push beyond the automatic answers so that you discover the deeper associations and emotional impacts of money in your life.  Ask the question at least 20 times until the answers are completely exhausted, then switch to the second question.  

1. What is money?
2. What is not having money?
3. What is money really?

 

To condition your nervous system for wealth, use the insights you have gained from completing this exercise to answer the following questions.  

1. What are my most limiting beliefs about having absolute financial abundance?
2. What specific amount of money represents financial abundance to me?
3. What will I do today toward developing a financial plan?
4. What did I learn today that I can use to make progress?
5. What financial terms and aspects of personal finance do I not currently understand?
6. Why am I committed to follow through?
7. Give 1 or 2 situations from the past of when you pulled through despite difficulty.

 

Once you have completed this exercise you will have commenced the process of rewiring your subconscious association to money.
