In this video, I am going to share what you can do if you’re tired of being broke and you want to change your financial status. If you think it's too late, I want to remind you that it's your right to be rich. You can make money fast when you’re broke. If you think it's too late, I want to remind you that you can surprise yourself with what you can do in one year if you stop telling yourself that you aren't good enough, money is bad, or it's just the way things are.
Always Think That It Is Your Right To Be Rich
If you stop accepting the life you were given and remind yourself to be easy on yourself, but also remind yourself that it's your right to be rich. So, statistically speaking, most people are financially behind in life. We know that about 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. We know that the average individual has about $10,000 in credit card debt. If that's you, it's not the end of the world.
So if you are tired of being broke, you know, if you just make a couple shifts in 10 years, you're going to be so much further ahead financially than you were in the last 10 years, so you have to let go, you have to forgive yourself, and then the next thing is to give yourself a taste of it, give yourself a little taste of it. So what did my wife and I start doing because we felt like we were always broke and we could never do what we wanted? We wanted to travel; we wanted to go spend the summer hiking in the wilderness; we didn't have any money, and so we started doing something we called the splurge account or a bloat account.
So what we started to do was take a little percentage of our money and go spend that feeling rich. We'd spent one night at a nice hotel on the beach in Ventura, California, and we didn't have enough money for a nice restaurant either. So we'd bring a burner plate and we'd just cook our own pasta or our own quinoa in the room, but we felt rich. So what happened was that instead of constantly feeling broke, we started to get a taste of what it felt like to have freedom. Then we started to think, "Wow, this does fit us." We can do this, so find those little things, whether it's a splurge account or a bloated account, or you go to a really nice hotel, a five-star hotel in your town, and you just go sit at the coffee shop and you work out of it
Change The Definition Of Money In Your Head
Do things that break you out of the constant feelings of being broke or behind financially that are reinforced in your everyday environment. Any way you can in little ways, even if it's just a bloated account that every 30 days you do something. You go get a massage where before he said I couldn't afford it, but instead you take five percent of your money and you go blow it. What this also does is change your relationship with money. When you're behind financially, there's a tendency to justify it, like we said earlier, and when you have a tendency to justify it, what happens is you change the definition of money in your head as a self-protective mechanism to justify and feel better about why you are where you are financially. SO change your idea of money if you are tired of being broke.
So for me, what I would do is I would say money sucks, it's not that important, I don't need it , I don't need any of it. What would happen then was that I would build a negative relationship with money. So I was telling myself subconsciously that money is bad. Money is evil. Money is wrong and I don't need it. Your subconscious doesn't know the difference between what's real and what's not, so when you feel like you're falling behind financially, your mind might try to protect you from those feelings by making up a story about it, about money, or about the things you want. "Well, I don't really want that badly anyway." Money has ears and can hear when you call it. Think about it from a consciousness standpoint.
So, let's say you get a thousand dollars. If you spend all of it because you say, "Well, I don't have any," you're just reinforcing the same thing. The way to change this is to change your self-image. You view yourself as someone who has no money. So if you are tired of being broke,, the way to change this is to start accumulating money. And you do this simply by saving. It could be five dollars, ten dollars, or a hundred dollars. All of these little things can be great and useful to get you started, but when you're so focused on constriction, there's no room for expansion. So start putting money away so you begin to view yourself as someone who can accumulate it, and you'll discover that it's as simple as walking.
Choose Your Best Roadmap If You Are Tired Of Being Broke
First you get a thousand, then two thousand, then three thousand, then four thousand, and you get ten, then you get a hundred. You have to go easy on yourself. You don't have money not because you're stupid, you don't have money because you're dumb, not because you aren't good enough, not because it's too hard, not because it's not possible, but just because you've been on the wrong roadmap. That's it. The roadmap you've been on has said spend all the money you make or I can't earn more or it's not that important or whatever it is, whatever your roadmap is. So then the next question is, what's a better roadmap for me to be on? My roadmap was, well, what if I finally take my life seriously and it doesn't work out?
I gave my talents with the fear that I wouldn't get enough back, and then, because my whole life is a mirror that reflects back to me my innermost feelings, I always got that back. I started changing it. I started saying I give my talents with love and I'm wonderfully blessed financially. I give my talents with love. But then you must take inventory of your roadmap. If the occupation you're in has a hard ceiling with no upside, it doesn't mean you have to quit today. You must start thinking about how you can shift your roadmap. Does it mean you have a talent or skill and you can go into business for yourself? Is there a new service that you can provide in addition to your existing one?
Change Your Belief About Money And Be A Blessing To Others If You Are Tired Of Being Broke
Is there a side hustle you can start to build? I'm really glad I was not born 400 years ago. It would have sucked. This is the best time in human history to be alive. I personally believe now, and I'm not telling you to believe this, but I personally believe that there's a higher power and that we're all one with it. This higher power gives us all the ideas. It's created everything. It created first class flights. It's created beautiful homes with great views. Don't you think if God inspired someone to create airplanes and eventually first class flights and beautiful homes, don't you think God wants us to experience those things? I personally believe that it's our right to be rich, not so we can accumulate money, but so we can realize that we're made in the image of God and part of our mission in life is to glorify God.
I believe God wants you to have financial freedom, and I believe God wants to use you as an instrument, a vessel, and a tool not only so you can help your friends and family who can't help themselves, but also so you can put your kids in better schools, have life insurance in case you die, your family's, whatever it is. I believe God wants us to have these things, and when you make this shift in your mindset, no matter what you're doing, you will start to create. If you make this shift, you get on the right roadmap and you start to change some of those governing beliefs that you have about money. I promise you will shock yourself at what you can accomplish. I promise you will shock yourself at what you can do.
