Millionaire Mindset - Why am I stuck at $999,600 for two days?
You can see from the photo of my journal that my target is $1,400,000 and I had already achieved $999,600 with $2600 waiting to be 'deposited' and added to bring it over the million dollar mark on MONDAY and this is Wednesday and I've still not done it!
Completely 'forgot' <----there are no accidents!
Which of course means I completely sabotaged myself. I don't think I've skipped two nights in a row the entire year and a half I've been doing this little nightly exercise and had been looking forward to being a 'millionaire' but clearly I still need to work on my 'money story', which was the purpose of this exercise.
Question: Do you think if we can sabotage ourselves in a journal exercise that we may also be doing that in the real world too? You bet we can!
Question: Do you know what your financial ceiling is? It's likely the financial place you are in right now, or the place you keep drifting back towards.
No matter how hard we work for our goals, unless we get the mindset right then we are often sabotaging and fighting against our own programming. We've simply got to be aware of the programming we've picked up along the way and subtly desensitize the mind to be comfortable with success - throw success at your mind if it's not ready and it will bat it away again!
5 Minute Exercise to Program for Success
The Mental Bank is a 5 minute exercise designed to gradually change our programming by getting us to focus on our goals and pay ourselves an hourly rate for achieving them every day. By the time you get anywhere near your financial target in the Mental Bank you've achieved something very significant in your life because you had to work to get there, precisely on the goals you set up. So right now at the million dollar mark my life has really come together way more than before, however every time I reach the actual goal I've set there's usually something amazing and very noticeable achieved by then too - it can be finances, health, life, depends on how you set your goals up. And those who've been doing this exercise all their lives say the exact same thing, things happen!
What's mindset got to do with our efforts at WA?
If anyone saw John Assaraf's Brainathon last w/e or in previous years, then you'll know it has EVERYTHING to do with our success and finances. I took John's Winning the Game of Money course last year and it's a bit like the training here at WA in that you get out of it what you put into it. I did end up getting John's course for free however, because once a month he allows all the members of his community to advertise themselves on his facebook group - and I managed to put up a WA link in time, in the nick of time because there were a number of other WA-ers in there doing the same and first cookie gets the commission lol.
However even though John Assaraf likes to do the science behind the mind and those experts need paid, the free stuff out there is just as powerful I think the free video on the Mental Bank by George Kappas director of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute and their explanation of the subconscious mind even in their free classes and videos will get you as much as you need to know to move the needle. I can't post the link here but you can go to youtube and type in Mental Bank George Kappas and it will come up.
One of the best John Assaraf resources I've come across was free, if you google My Exceptional Life Blueprint Assaraf you'll still be able to access it out there. If you change up the affirmations to your own situation you'll get more out of it.
Expecting great things all round then!

Update:
I crossed the line to being a millionaire with the mental bank! And the first thing I notice is how hard it is to get used to putting the commas in the right places with all my money now, basic skill that I've never had to use before lol.
Actually when I went into the 6 figures range I was struggling with how to say all those thousands properly [because you have to write down your total in handwriting every night so you do have to get used to thinking in terms of these numbers]
I've bumped into millionaires here at WA, people who started from scratch and inside 4-5 years had all those zeros, achieving $100k per month on their sites, and there are more than you think because some of them fly way under the radar. So best to get used to those big numbers ;)

Just to make sure I understand - You're paying yourself a wage for the work you do building your business, not a real wage but a virtual wage, right? Awesome idea! I think I'll have to start doing that to see the value of my own work. Thanks.

yes, the video shows you how to set it up so that it is realistic, it is very motivating and works on a number of levels and for sure when you get near your target you can look back and see significant changes.
It's also about getting the subconscious mind comfortable with change by moving slowly and consistently towards it - I broke the rules a little bit by aiming for over one million dollars, that's part of the reason I'm getting big resistance to going over the line right now, but if you'd asked me was I ready to earn a million I'd have said yes with the conscious mind, the proof is right there that I wasn't ready but I just have to keep going now and it's inevitable :)
Wow, Mary! I never heard of this guy! Thanks for sharing your insights here. I like the whole pay-yourself thing! I'm going to have to look this up! More research for me! Thanks, again! Alanna

A local mental health/hypnotherapist where I live who works with "Mainstream and Elite" athletes around the world says "We have an exceptionally powerful mind, but it doesn't come with a user manual"
Good references you provide Mary for "User Manuals".
nicely put Cindy! Yes, the user manuals that you'd think we'd be taught at school as it is so foundational to everything else we do
