Afraid of making money
I believe one of the obstacles that keep people
from succeeding is one very basic fear:
The fear of making big money.
Not just fear of making money... but the
big moolah.
If you don't think that is a fear that is stopping
you then you analyze those rich people closely.
Some of them feared making money because
their parents were not high earners. If they
made more money than their Father, they
reasoned, what kind of son or daughter
would they be?
Sounds crazy but this is not what we want
but what this is what our sub-conscious mind is
reminding us.
Others fear that making big money would
'change' them somehow and they would not
be the same person anymore- the same person
that people know, love and care for.
True story:
I have a friend whose friends are no longer
close to her anymore because she has
grown to be more successful than them. She
has become a 'bigger' person now.
They start to pick on her like...
"She thinks she's the only person busy
with her work."
The truth is... she is BUSY with her work
and building a strong financial support but
her friends don't have that kind of
being busy privilege.
And they'll look for her weaknesses to find
chances to pick on her.
Are her friends bad? Not really. They're just
reacting towards 'change'. Instead of responding,
they're reacting.
They'll feel...
"She's not the same person anymore."
Yes, she chanced to be better and wiser.
So if she changes to be more successful, she'll
fear that her friends might not like her they
way they used to.
That's just one example.
The fear of making big money is REAL. It's
in your mind and the only thing that is
moving you is YOUR MIND.
However, you may not believe you are influenced
by this fear because it sounds really silly.
But think about it for a minute.
Maybe what you really fear is 'change'... and
if you made big money it would change you
and your life.
That is why most lottery 'millionaires' end up
spending or losing most of their winnings a year
or so after they've won... they seek 'normal'
lives again where nothing ever changes.
It's not hard to make big money... the hard part
is giving yourself permission to make it
and keep it.
Yes, I said give yourself PERMISSION to
start making big money.
The game of becoming rich is an internal one...
just like golf, or becoming an Olympic athlete. The
problem is inside us... lack of confidence and
self-esteem are the enemies.
Don't let fear of making money stop you. Start
believing in yourself, check your self-esteem and
make a wise informed and profitable choice
for your future.
One of the way to solve this is by using...
an anchor.
Imagine having the power to do a very
simple act and you'll instantly be able to
change your thoughts and eliminate that fear
of making money. Sounds exciting, isn't it?
This is probably the most powerful technique
to help you change your emotions.
Let's say you want to experience 'success'.
Go to a quiet room. Reflect on a time when
you had a very successful experience. It can
be when you get number #1 in any competition.
It can be an experience when you beat
Your competitors to be a winner.
It could even be when your wife agreed
to marry you!
Now focus in reliving that successful experience.
Engage yourself thoroughly on that fantastic feeling.
See the yourself when you have achieve success,
hear the claps and cheers, smell the odor, and
feel everything else going on around you as
you’re feeling this way.
Then create an anchor. You can slightly slap
your face, shake your hands in exhilaration,
squeeze your thumb and middle finger together,
twirl your head, or just do anything you can think
of, as long as it's something that creates
intensity within you.
After around a minute or two, let go of the anchor
while still engrossed in that state. Wait for a
few seconds before breaking out of that state.
The more passionate or lively the experience,
the better anchor you will create.
You can use any of the anchors below depending
on your situation and preference. You may
even invent one or two of your own.
1. Clench your fists.
2. Stroke your hair, chin, nose, or eyebrow.
3. Press two fingers together.
4. Whistle a tune.
5. Rub your hands.
6. Shake your legs.
7. Shout a lively word, such as "power" or "super!"
8. Pat yourself at the back.
