The final and one of the most important wealth habits is to…

Respect and Love Money

I don’t mean loving money to the extent that you are a slave to it, but but loving money for the good it can do for you and the people around you. Most people I share this with often respond by saying, “Well, of course I love money! Of course I respect money.” Who doesn’t? If I didn’t love money for what it can do, I wouldn’t be reading this article.

Well, there are many people who consciously desire to be rich and know that money is important. However, at a deeper level they may not realize that their subconscious mind either holds many limiting beliefs about money or associate lots of negative feelings towards money. These negative associates cause them to repel money and prevent them from becoming rich without even realizing it. Everything Starts From Your Mind.

Do you feel that although you consciously desire to be rich, but something holds you back? Have you experienced working hard to achieve your goals. However the moment you start getting results and seeing your wealth increase, you tend to go into the pattern of sabotaging it? Like the moment your bank account hits a certain amount, you start losing your motivation until the money dips below a certain level then you start working hard again?

It’s like your subconscious mind is preventing you from going beyond a certain level of wealth. I know of some friends who say that the moment they get a certain amount of money, they will tend to spend it away or lose it. If you are experiencing the same phenomenon, it is because subconsciously, your mind doesn’t want you to be rich. Again, its either because you have a lot of negative associations towards money or many limiting beliefs are holding you back.

As many of us grow up, we may unknowingly pick up many limiting beliefs and painful associations towards money from our family members, friends, teachers and relatives. Many people are taught that if they think about money or desire money, then they are being ‘money faced’ or’ money minded’.

As a result, their subconscious starts associating thoughts and desire for money as being a bad or evil. Have you been taught to believe this as well? Because many people who come from working class families see their parents working so hard for money, they subconsciously believe that working hard is the only way to make money. Their belief causes them to fail to realize that big money is from ideas and not just hard work. Your Beliefs Determine Your Success.

When they see $10 being offered for $2 they think that it must be some sort of trick or that they will be cheating. What they don’t realize is that there are opportunities like this everyday! Warren Buffett made his billions by buying companies at half of what they were really worth. He was buying $10 stocks for $2. Entrepreneurs make money by buying something a lot cheaper than what it is worth, re-packing it and sell it for ten times the price!

If you come from a poor or middle class family, there is a good chance that you may have been taught that ‘money isn’t everything’, ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’, ‘rich people are greedy’, ‘money is not important’, ‘if you have a lot of money then people will cheat you’, ‘investing is risky’, ‘money will change you’. As a result, your subconscious mind associates so much fear, hate and negative feelings towards money that it will stop you from ever becoming rich.

You may feel this inner power struggle inside you such that although you set your goals to become rich, but somehow, you sabotage your own success every time you achieve a certain level of wealth. Your inner mind won’t allow you to become rich as it would give you more ‘problems’ or make you into a ‘bad person’. However, you have to understand that your friends, parents or teachers may have taught you all these things because they probably thought they were passing on good advice.

Their parents and teachers probably taught it to them as well, and that is why they have never become rich. Very often, they also choose to believe all these negative things about money because it helps them to justify their own lack of money. When someone says, “Well… money isn’t all that important anyway”, they are just consoling themselves. When someone says, “I love my family and that’s why I have no time to make money”, they are just giving themselves justifications.

So, it is really important for you to stop for a while and really reflect about the inner feelings you have towards money. I know that consciously you respect and love money for what it can do, but I want you to set aside your pre-judgments and really think about the subconscious beliefs and feelings that you associate with money.

Only by adopting new empowering beliefs to your subconscious mind, you can then become a money magnet and attract tons of money to your bank account.

There you have it, the last millionaire habit that you have to practice. All thanks to my favorite wealth and success teacher, Adam Khoo. You should know that wealth comes from the inside, not outside. You will first need to have the million-dollar mindset before you can attract and make a lot of money. Therefore, I strongly recommend you to steal Adam’s Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires, it is the book that can change your life forever.
