How do you think about Money?

Many of my posts in the past have focused on high cost of debt and credit issues along with ID theft. These topics are important and can steal your potential wealth if ignored.

As I was driving down the road the other day, I started thinking about how people react when we introduce new ideas about making money. One of the most ignorant statements I hear is “I don’t need a lot of money” or “Money isn’t that important”.

It makes me sick when I hear this come out of their mouth. YOUR mind and YOUR thoughts are possibly the biggest drain on your personal bank account. Money may not very important to you, but skip your mortgage or rent payment and see how important money is to your Banker or landlord. How far can you drive your car with no money? Try to watch your favorite TV show, cook a meal or take a shower after the utility bill isn’t paid in 60 days. Are you starting to see how important money is for everyone else?

I agree that money can’t by everything, one thing money can’t buy is poverty. The lack of money causes more family problems than most things combined.

Money should be important; you can help more people when you have money. You can become a servant to others and give more to charity with money. Money can make you a better person if you don’t abuse it. OK, I hear some say that money is bad or he turned into a bad person after he had money. The truth of the matter is that person was bad before they had money; they just started to show their true colors!

When you have a lack of money you can’t serve the needs of others, you are only focused on keeping your head above water. How can your family benefit if there is a constant argument over money? Now don’t get me wrong, just having money doesn’t solve all the problems, there is a lot of personal responsibility too. Learning how to become a better money manager is the key to your success. This is why I am passionate about telling people how credit and debt are robbing their financial future.

So what do I need to do to change my thoughts about money?

Money is created by ideas, if you want more money you need to keep an open mind and embrace new ideas. You don’t have to jump on every idea or opportunity that comes your way but you need to be open and at least listen. The world is full of opportunities only if your keep an open mind!

We could spend hours chatting about money making ideas, so start with the basics of being open minded and explore the ideas that come your way. You get exactly what you think about, this is called the Law of Attraction. Start thinking about what you want instead of what you don’t want!

Think abundance.......


To your success,
