Do you love money or hate it?
When we build an online business we want to help people, but we also want to make money and ultimately create financial freedom, but often our old self-limiting beliefs (or hang-ups) around money will cause us to self-sabotage and stop our ability to create more of it.
Understanding your relationship with money can put a stop to this self-destructive behaviour.
If you want to achieve financial success, you have to work out all of your unconscious beliefs and past programming around it.
Unless you take this step, it will be hard to create real, lasting wealth for yourself!
So does money come to you easy, or is it a constant struggle?
Are you a spender or a saver?
Do you admire rich people, or think that they are all crooks and are greedy?
When you think about money what comes into your mind?
I would bet that a lot of negative thoughts come up.
“Rich people are greedy”
“I would sooner be happy than rich”
“Money doesn’t grow on trees”
“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”
“There is never enough”
“We can’t afford it”

Hi again John, So glad you raised this topic. I believe that we are all here at WA to change our relationship with money somehow. Because for most of us the relationship has not been working in the "job" world or in our situations. I honestly think that this should be a primary course/discussion that we can access or do here on WA.
Kyle touches on the beginnings of it when he mentions in some of the training's, that our primary focus should be on helping people instead of focusing on 'selling' when we write our copy for our sites.
Even just talking openly about this topic, may help some of us a lot to get through to 'understanding' our own subconscious beliefs. Any ideas here how to do this?

Thanks Daisy :-)
Awareness is the first step. So many people have hangups around money and "rich people" and they just don't realise it.
Escaping our past programming is very difficult. Even when I speak to my Mother these days, I hear these negative statements coming up, but I can now recognise it, and choose to disregard it.
The only way to change is to keep working on your own personal development and money mindset by reading books, listening to audios, going to seminars and surrounding yourself with people with a positive outlook and similar mindset.
This is so important in my opinion, that it is a core element of my business.
Change your mindset and you change your life :-)

Hi John,
I love that you put this up for discussion. Thank you so much!
I have been trying to figure out this exact question since the "secret" was introduced. I have tried many of the 'methods' out there to uncover the 'why' or 'what' are my believes that constantly self-sabotage. So what method did you use?
My most recent attempt was a Consciousness Bars session with a local person. (Similar to Reiki). The reason I went to this level was because I feel like I have tried all of the "digging" methods out there already.
However, my daughter has always said this. You may clear your spiritual, mental, and emotional bodies of your subconscious negativity, but you must also release the negative memories from your physical body. The body itself with the Cellluar Memory stores all info.
I have felt some changes since the session but am still self-sabotaging. Any advice here?

Hi Daisy, Here's my 2 cents worth: I believe there are things we need to unlearn. Also, personally, I would not attempt to clear the mind of the spiritual - for this helps in the fight against "self-sabotage" As a person of faith I use it to inform me in my understanding of the negatives. All the best!

Thank you this is so inspiring. To me , after reading Rich dad and poor dad , what actually made me to think that I can be rich was " The science of getting rich by Wallace Wattles" . I actually discovered that what was keeping me back was my thoughts. I still have useless thoughts like think that I am old - that is starting late. Hello John help me get off this nonsense thought out completely.

I think Christopher, that your thoughts are actually stemming from your sub-conscious beliefs about money.

Hey Fon, I don't think it is ever too late. One thing that was mentioned in the book "Think and Grow Rich" is that a lot of successful men in history, never had success until their 50's and 60's.
My wife's Grandmother is 88 and recently taught herself how to use an Ipad and has even tracked down some long lost relatives. A TV station here in Australia is going to interview her.
Two great books I would recommend reading are Thinks and Grow Rich and Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.
It is never too late! :-)

Hey Christopher, John seems to have more answers than me. I am still struggling too.

Looks like we followed a similar process - my beliefs about money have been shooting me in the foot for years. I have been dealing with that subconscious programming and believe that with the changes in my mindset, the other changes will come too.

Most of us have these sub-conscious beliefs and don't even realise! Awareness is the first step to changing them! :-)
