It's true that when you're first getting started, your focus probably shouldn't be on making money. You want to build up your skills first and understand how the process all works.
(By the way, it's going to take you some time to build up an income. It's OK. Give it time. Because it'll be worth it. Unlike with a 9-5 job, you can continue to build it up more and more and more...)
But you want to keep money in your thoughts. Because that's what you're here for, right? It IS about the money.
Yes, you'll help people along the way and you'll solve problems. You'll give real value to people based on the content that you provide to them.
But you don't want to do this for little to no money. You want to make money. You want to make a LOT of money.
Because, why not?
The Lack Mindset
The problem is that most people have such a lack and scarcity mindset that they can't see beyond where they are financially right now. You may be that way.
Maybe you can't see beyond your bills. Maybe you think, “A vacation would be nice, but I can't afford it.” Maybe you can't yet, but you have to start visualizing it.
Start visualizing what you WANT. Think about world-class, high-end vacations.Think about first class flights, expensive meals and the most luxurious hotels.
Decide that you want to create more abundance for yourself, and work toward it.
This is going to help you FOCUS. (So important to getting what you want.)
Squirrel Your Money Away?
Many people out there talk about squirreling your savings and reducing your spending so that you can retire at some point in your life.
That SUCKS.
Who wants to do that?
Why not INCREASE your income instead and enjoy the life that you want to live NOW while you're still young enough to enjoy it? Then instead of squirreling your money away, you can make smart investments that will make you even MORE money.

And about the being worthy - every time I talk about a friend going on vacation or buying something really nice ( or if I am) my Mom says “Must be nice!” In a negative way. I’m always thinking “yes, I’m sure it is.” But in a positive way.
People’s relationship with money is complicated for sure!
Thank you for the education on money!

I liked your section about money being a resource and also WA being a resource too. I see too many people talking about the cost of membership rather than what they might gain if they signed up.
Personally I became a premium member the same day I signed up!
