#1: You Focus on What You Don’t Have
Once you focus on the Lamborghini you don’t have, you will never have it – this is the basic law of prosperity.
It is time you focus on how rich you are – count the friends you can rely on, a family that loves you no matter what, your excellent health, creativity, money to pay your bills, among others.
Law of prosperity requires that you train your mind to focus on the idea that you already have financial, emotional and spiritual abundance, and these things will manifest themselves in your life.
#2: You Have a Middle-Class Belief in Money
No matter how good your product is or how smart you are, your major focus is on saving instead of earning or you view money through the eyes of scarcity and fear.
Instead, look at money as a means of attaining freedom, opportunities and abundance, and you will join the leagues of the wealthy.
#3: You Think Rich People are Evil
While a majority of individuals want to be rich, there are still many that regularly have negative internal dialogues when it comes to wealth. Maybe, you think you cannot be wealthy and still do good at the same time.
The truth is, most fortunes are built through vision, drive and ambition.
Avoid negative money talk, and you will achieve financial free; use some of the money to make the world better, by all means.
#4: You Believe Poor is Nobility
Most people are programed to believe that desiring something better is wrong. They believe that one ought to be happy and grateful for what they have; ambition to seek more is greed.
However, the human brain is wired to seek better. This natural tendency is behind every innovation from the beginning of time. In other words, ambition is no sin; it is a virtue that you should embrace.
#5: You’re Afraid of Failure and Success
To many, failure is a catastrophic life event that should be avoided at all costs in order to maintain some dignity. This fear pushes people to do only those things they know, and never go beyond to their full potential.
On the other hand, there are those that are terrified by success. Although they want it, they are afraid of what it brings in their lives, even if positive!
Instead, view failure as a stepping towards mega-success, it is a teacher that will help you learn, grow and become rich. Don’t let fear control you, embrace it. The wealthy use the energy and intensity of their fears to propel them to greater achievements.
#6: You’d Rather Complain
Did you know complaining about something is a lazy, much easier way of avoiding commitment? As long as complaining, the excuses and finger-pointing continue, you will never become rich.
Instead, take responsibility for your bad actions and focus on changing them. Then do it.
#7: Your Motto is YOLO
It’s true, You Only Live Once. However, living for only today means your financial future is certainly bleak.
Live your life to the fullest, but do it within your means. For example, if you get a bonus today, use it to create a lifestyle where you require less money than increasing your current lifestyle.
#8: You’re Habitually Broke
If you are broke all the time, try making out imaginary checks to yourself, and for every debt (whether individual or credit card) make a note stating that you have cleared the debt.
Remember, every time you think of yourself as being broke, the universe responds by providing what you ask for; and that’s what you get.
#9: You Do What Others Are Doing
It is time you branched out and created your own path to success. Instead of focusing on trying to achieve what others have by following in their steps, become a pioneer.
Following someone means a betrayal to the most important person, you. But when you do what you love, money follows you.
#10: A Lottery Mentality
Many people believe in the lottery since it’s the only they can get rich. Maybe, they are right.
However, this is not because they cannot achieve, but because they do not believe that they can achieve through their own abilities. Negative beliefs about limit serious limit your financial success.
