The article "Teens: 5 Ways to Make Sure You Get Rich" talks about family, it was released by Christine McGogy.
How would you like to remove the barriers that could be holding you back from getting and staying rich for the rest of your life?
First, you should change your relationship to money from the negative to the positvie before you can turn your cash flow to where you want it to be.
Have you ever heard of the money tree? It’s a metaphor for securing financial success. If you'd like to become wealthy, you need to make sure that your money tree can grow spuer. To do that, it needs strong roots and a fertile ground to grow in.
It's really what's under the ground that creates what's above the ground.
It's the invisible that creates the visbile.
So you will have to "grow better roots", meaning you have to chagne the beliefs you have about money.
If they are rooted in negativity then it acts like a posion and your money tree won't bear any fruit (money).
On the other hand, a money mindset rooted in positivity creates a healthy, strong money tree that will bear lots of fruit!
Hey, you're probably thinking that you already feel positive about money. Who doesn't want more money?
The truth is that we all have some unhealthy issues as for money - we just aren't always aware of those issues!
1. Change Your ‘Money Settings’
You were taught how to guess about and handle money whether or not you realize it.
At the same time, you developed specific attitudes twoards money. When you were younger, you had many sources of influenecs about money; like parents, siblings, friends, teachers, religious leaders, media and the culture we all live in as well.
And that conditioning about moeny stays with you for the rest of your life unless you do something about it right at that moment!
Once you're aware of your money mindset you can make the choice to change it around to the positive and get you going towards the riches you deserve.
It's improtant for you to take a few minutes to go over these "Money Beliefs". Did you ever hear phrases like that?
Money is the root of all evil
Rich people are greedy
You can't be rich and spiritual
Money doesn't buy happiness
And the famous…”We can't afford it”
Money corrupts
Money doesn't matter
There is not enough to go around
You don't deserve to have that
Money changes people
Having lots of money is a hassle
To be rich, you have to use people and take advantage of them
I’m not smart or educated enough
If you're not born rich, chnaces are you will never be rich
and also, if you were rich, then.....
I could lose it and be a failure
I would never know if people like me for myself or my money
Everyone is going to want a handout
Secondly what are your parents/guardians like in the arena of money?
Are they managing their money well?
Are they spenders or savers?
Does money come easily in your family or is it a struggle?
Is money a source of joy or the cause of bitter arguments?
Can you guess of a specific incident in your family that had to do with money?
With all these attitudes and influences surrounding you all your life, it is no surprise then that you unconsciously will shy away from having and keeping lots of money, is it?
Wealthy people do not guess about money in these negative terms. They know that by haivng lots of money they are able to give back to the world in many ways.
The best way to help poor peolpe is to not be one of them
2.
Take Control
You need to know that at that moment YOU are at the steering wheel of your life.
You create evrey moment in your life, especially your financial life.
If you don't believe this, then you may believe that you have little or no control over your life and that financial success has nothing to do with you. This is very negative; instead of taking responsibility for what's going on in your life, you're choosing to play the role of the victim. Of course, any victim's thought proecss includes thinking "poor me". The problem is, thinking like that gets you nowhere, and before you know it that’s exactly what you’ll be – a poor you!
3. Stop the Blame
You can blame the economy, the type of business, the gvoernment etc. You can use excuses and justify yourself for not doing well financially, for example, "I don't have the right education" or "I don't live in the right part of the country", "I am not smart enough" or "I don't know the right people” and so on. However, these things aren’t true. You can succeed anywhere, and the first step in that scucess is getting a better outlook on your situation and environment.
4. Bansih Pessimism
Complaining a lot doesn't help your finances either. While you complain you're focusnig on the negative parts of yourself that you may not like.
This reifnorces bad thoughts you may be having about yourself, and it actually causes you to attract more negativity. So do yourself a huge favor and stop complaining or blaming or justifying. You are only putting yourself in the role of a victim and there is no such thing as a rich victim!
5. Count your Blessings
It's also important for you to see the blessings aorund you right now, however small they may seem.
Each of us living in North America is actually rich already compared to other parts of the world. We have so much available to us, like roads, towns/cities and stores, public places like libraries, swmiming pools, parks, arenas etc.
See yourself having abundance right at that moment and it's from that standpoint that you can go towards receiving an abundance of mnoey as well.
If only I had changed my "money settings" as a teenager! I would have been financially free a lot sooner.
I used to guess that becoming wealthy was only for ohter people.
The truth is that you can become rich and you deserve to!
I highly recommend the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, (ISBN: 0446693219) for you to begin understanding more about becoming finacnially free, using the money concepts rich people use to help you put money in your pocket and not out of it.
It should be available at most lirbaries.
