Tony Robbins Motivation - How To Eliminate Financial Self Sabotage Amazing! - Motivational Video

but i have to tell you the number one

thing

that keeps people from really having

what they want financially

is not the lack of a plan it is not the

lack of good advice

it is not the lack of possibility it's

not the lack of intelligence

it's not even lack of capital it is this

unending process that most americans go

through

of sabotaging their own financial

success

so why do we do this to ourselves why is

it that right when we start to really

make financial progress we do something

stupid or we stop following through

we stop practicing the fundamentals we

know will lead us

to financial abundance i believe the

answer is what we talked about yesterday

and let's review it

everything we do in our lives we do for

one of two reasons to either avoid

pain or to gain pleasure if you are

sabotaging yourself in any area and

we're going to talk about this again and

again

it is simply because you believe at some

level of your thinking

subconscious thinking if not conscious

thinking that this situation that you're

getting involved in

the accumulation of additional capital

is going to lead to more pain than

pleasure

and again i know that sounds insane and

crazy but i have to tell you it's

absolutely accurate in any person that

i've studied who's been living in

financial lack

in addition many people associate

pleasure to having a lack of financial

abundance

because see think about it when people

really do well financially and they're

around their friends

what happens well i can tell you from

experience when i was really young i

really went for it 19 years old had my

own company written up in newspapers and

magazines

wonderboy you remember me right ego

exploding well sure enough i was making

all this money about ten thousand

dollars a month i was jazzed

except i thought money was going to lead

to pleasure

i looked around and saw the problems in

my family said hey if i got money i can

eliminate those and i get a lot more fun

i can give to my friends and i'd go back

to my friends i want to take them with

me on a trip

or want to go someplace and they were

uncomfortable

in fact a lot of them started to judge

me and all of a sudden some of them

treated me harshly and some of them made

excuses some of them stopped going out

to dinner with me

some would say well you know i don't

have a home like yours and i said i

don't care

but what began to happen is i began to

link that having money didn't mean the

pleasure i thought it was going to mean

my brain started linking up having a lot

of money means that people reject you

people you care about aren't comfortable

with you all of a sudden i started

feeling like an outcast all of a sudden

i started feeling all this pain

and sure enough within a short period of

time my brain on some level not

consciously but

subconsciously began to just destroy

everything economically

and i already told you how i did it not

showing up for key meetings right

treating people harshly

distracting myself to eating food

continuously watching television

all those elements came up to destroy my

finances

and so we must remember how our brains

work

they don't work logically they work on

what we associate to things

so if we're going to eliminate financial

self-sabotage the answer is very simple

you've heard it over and over again

and again you'll hear it from me and

that is we must change

our neural associations about money that

is we've got to change some of our core

beliefs we've got to make sure that

earning money

is purely a positive and pleasurable

experience for us

and not one in our mind that's going to

lead to pain again

some people think god i'll have to pay

all these taxes and they don't have the

money and they're worrying about the

problem no wonder they'll never have any

why are they already

considering the negative aspects of

having money the answer i believe

is that for most people having an

abundance of money

is the unknown in its experience they've

never had before

and people are basically afraid of the

unknown see they know how it is right

now they understand it they understand

the status quo

and that's fairly comfortable i mean you

might have a little bit of pain but

the unknown that's really scary so i've

found that most people

fail to achieve what they want

financially or sabotage themselves

financially

simply because they haven't gotten

themselves ready for wealth financial

wealth

they've not conditioned themselves

emotionally to have money

they've not developed the kinds of

beliefs that would allow them to create

an abundance of money

and then continually expand that money

as well

you remember the metaphor we talked

about and we started this program

that what we have to do to really

succeed we have to build up our ability

we have to condition ourselves just as

we would physically

and you start with a little bit and you

begin to work with it each day

increasing the amounts

until pretty soon what happens is you

really develop the muscle but you've got

to be able to use it you've got to

condition your arms for example

to be able to do curls well you're gonna

have to condition your mind and your

emotions

in order to be able to have an abundance

of money and feel comfortable with it

otherwise even though it's something

that's very positive it may feel like a

weight to you because you just don't

know how to deal with it

so how do we first get beyond this sense

of lack how do we first begin

to create that wealth and then how do we

keep ourselves from destroying it once

the abundance starts to flow

the way to really create the wealth that

you want in your life starts with step

number one

the way to get wealthy right now today

is to free yourself from the illusion

that you're not already wealthy

you say what are you talking about tony

i don't have any money

listen wealth is not just money wealth

is an abundance of the things that you

really desire in your life

wealth is leverage that is the ability

to have experiences that you have not

personally controlled or generated what

do i mean

well you are wealthy you live in a

country where there is abundance around

you all the time and you own it just for

living here

i mean you own the public highways you

don't have to pay anything for most of

them across the country

you own many of these government

buildings you can go in they're yours

you can use them anytime you want you

can go into a public library and get

access to any book that's ever been

written virtually

and it cost you nothing think about it

leverage in your life is everywhere you

didn't have to go out

and actually create your breakfast nor

did you have to hunt down your dinner

these things have been done for you say

well yes i paid for them yeah that's

true and it wasn't

on your back that the salt came out of

minds so that you could put it on your

food

you are truly wealthy the level of

abundance that you and i experience

every single day no matter how much

money we earn compared to the rest of

the world

is absolutely absurd and yet we walk

around

feeling like we have lack and see like

attracts like

whatever you hold on a consistent basis

in your mind is exactly what you'll

experience in your life

so the first key to becoming wealthy is

to understand that you already are

now wanting to expand that i believe

that's healthy you know

some people say well is it really right

to make more money i mean if you got a

lot is it right

let me ask you a question if you're

intelligent is it right for you to

continue to want to expand and become

smarter

is it right if you're already close to

your husband or wife

to want to deepen that relationship even

more

is it right for you to want your

children to have even more to be happier

to be stronger

to have better relationships is that

right

is it right no matter how close you feel

to your creator to want that bond to be

even stronger and to strive for it is

that right

i've got a question for you if you could

have more in your life

if you could have more than should you

if there are things you could do that

create greater abundance in any area of

your life

then should you and my answer to you is

absolutely i think i shared with you

earlier in this program

that there was a point in my life where

i thought gosh if i have so much

abundance and other people don't

there's something wrong there that's

unfair hey listen every single one of us

was born with opportunities we're equal

in our opportunities

we're not equal in our decisions we're

not equal in our education

we're not equal and how much we demand

from each other or from ourselves

we're not equal in our motivation we

could choose to be but most of us are

not

now i know there's the argument that hey

i grew up in the south bronx so i grew

up in a difficult part of town or i

didn't have the role models

i can certainly appreciate that a

hundred percent i really do believe that

there are many people in our society

that don't seem to start out with the

same level of resources no doubt about

it

so my approach to that used to be well i

really care about people that i have

less than i do i care about people that

are poor financially

in fact my strategy was the best way to

help poor people is i'll be one of them

well that's not exactly the most

intelligent approach instead what i

decided to do

was realize that no matter what

someone's resources were i didn't have

any either

i didn't have any great role models i

didn't grow up wealthy not even middle

class

and yet i was able to make the things

work because i pursued them

and no matter where i've looked in the

country no matter how horrible the

environment there are a few people from

that environment

that somehow have made it work for

themselves mentally emotionally socially

spiritually physically

and financially so why did these people

make it in spite of all the odds

the answer was not necessarily more

talent or more ability

but that they were able to get access to

their talent and ability because they

had beliefs that empowered them

in each of these areas including

financial i mean that's really what it

comes down to

your finances will not change until your

core beliefs change

trying to turn around financial sabotage

simply by working harder by the way

will not work the reason is you'll work

harder and your beliefs like this rubber

band

you'll push push push push stretch

yourself out there it'll start to make

some progress and right when you get to

a certain point of threshold

ymo the rubber band snaps you right back

to where you were

i mean haven't you experienced this

sometimes the only way to break through

is get rid of the rubber bands expand

your picture of your life financially

so that what's happening is you're on a

road a road you're always building

one that's always expanding in addition

you must believe

that by building your road what you're

also doing is creating a way for others

to travel to their dreams as well

simultaneously so since it starts with

our own beliefs

we gotta remind ourselves what beliefs

are beliefs are

nothing but a feeling of certainty about

what something means

so again if you've got limiting beliefs

it just means you've got beliefs you

have a feeling of certainty

that having money is going to be more

painful than not having it

that having an abundance of money is

going to be more painful than not having

an abundance yeah you can get

by and it'll be okay you've got to

change that

how do we do it well one the easiest way

to change anything

is to link pain to the thing we want to

change in other words

link in our own minds that if i don't

change this belief system it's going to

cost me

so much it's going to hurt so bad

that your brain says i'll do anything to

get rid of that belief and then show

your brain an alternative one that by

applying it you'll have pleasure

now what most people do in life is sit

around and hope that someday something

magical will turn it around

or again they go out and just work

harder and harder and harder

and they wonder why they still can't

make it financially no matter how much

money they make

they always end up with more month at

the end of the money

maybe i was one of the lucky ones maybe

i just have a low threshold for pain

because i just couldn't take it i found

so much frustration and not being able

to go certain places not being able

to be with certain people who are

traveling not being able to give some of

the things i really wanted to give most

of the people i cared about

not being able to have the lifestyle and

the freedom of choice in terms of my

time and my energy

and the things that i was going to have

in my life as well it was so

painful so embarrassing so frustrating

that finally one day i said i have had

it

and that is a great place to get get to

the place where you've had it where

you've gone through threshold where

you're not willing to do that anymore

but here's the key when you realize

you've got it know what the reason is

it's because of your beliefs and you

need to go inside and shift them now

so how do we do this i'm going to guide

you through a three or four step process

right now to eliminate self-sabotage in

the area of finances forever

so let's go for it get your success

journal or pull over the car now

this is the time as you pull it out

here's what we're gonna do and if you

need to stop the tape

and come back to me you have 30 seconds

go

welcome back i again hope i'm welcoming

you back and you did turn off this thing

while you went and got your success

journal you don't want to ride on a

scrap of piece of paper keep that thing

with you

okay good now here's what i'd like you

to do i'd like if you would to

write down all of the pain that you

presently experience in your life

because you don't have the level of

financial abundance that you truly

deserve

in other words what are you losing right

now what are you missing out on

what's it costing in your life not to

have financial abundance in other words

our goal here

is to not just be intellectual but to

really get ourselves to experience

once and for all tremendous amount of

pain from not having finances so

really go into your gut go into your

core and say okay what are things i

really want to do

or be or share or create or give

or make that i cannot do right now

because i don't have financial abundance

i've got enough finances to get by or

i've gotta

you know i'm maybe even worse you're

comfortable that's really a death rattle

in terms of finances

but what are some of the things beyond

that that you're missing out on maybe

just the self-esteem of knowing

that you can create as much as you want

in an instant what is it that you're

missing out on

i'm gonna give you about two and a half

minutes to do this so please begin

now

remember while you're doing this make it

compelling

what are some things you'd really like

to do in your life that you can't do

think about how much pain that could

generate if you really focused on that

enough

normally you don't pay attention

do you ever have to say someday honey

will do that

how does that make you feel or someday

son

someday daughter yeah i'd really like to

do this but

we just can't do it right now maybe

later maybe sometime and yet in your

feeling in your gut you don't think

it'll ever happen

but some of the pain you experience

because you don't have

massive financial abundance

what's it costing you in your life what

could you do to develop yourself if you

had more money

and you're missing out on it now what

could you do for your favorite

foundation

or a favorite charity would you like to

buy something

is there somebody in your family who's

suffering right now financially

and you're unable to help them how does

that make you feel

no you don't have the money to help them

someone need medical care do you like to

be able to purchase a nicer home or

something like that for

family members a mom or a dad i'd like

to take better care of your grandparents

but can't because you just don't have

the financial abundance

is there a school you like to send your

children to but you just can't

again because there isn't enough money

what are some of the prices you pay

every single day because you don't have

enough money what are some of the things

you really want

but you've had to settle for second best

because you didn't have financial

abundance

is there a studio you'd like to build

you can't do that so you got to go

somewhere else

are you having to live in a neighborhood

that is not supportive of your own

values

simply because of economic necessity how

does that make you feel

knowing that you have to do that

make sure as you write these down you

really feel the pain i know that doesn't

sound very nice

but the way we change is link pain to

something get it out on the table

okay so what we've done here if you

we've done it effectively

is gotten your brain to begin to

associate

major pain to not having money now you

might say well tony i already had that

well maybe

but maybe it was like you had one

thought at a time what we want to do is

intensify the feeling of pain

so your brain will finally say i've had

it no more i've got to have money

so what's on your list is it compelling

enough when i have people do this many

times they'll tell me things like well

gosh you know not having money means i

don't have time with my kids

or not having money means i can't live

with my son or daughter

or not having money means i can't get

them the kind of child care they really

deserve and i'm busy working too and i

don't know what to do

that's pretty strong pain that'll get

somebody motivated real quick

remember we'll do more to avoid pain

than we will to gain pleasure so put it

on yourself

some people say just the pressure of the

bills themselves

that is so painful having people calling

you up again and again saying hey

you've got to handle this thing that

does it for some people by itself

or maybe in this society where one out

of two people end up in divorce

some people are having to support two

households and they think about the pain

they have

in that they can't have the lifestyle

they want because they can barely take

care of themselves after taking care of

somebody else

for other people saying you know i can't

do it or i'll do it later

but knowing in their heart that later

may never come

that's pain or maybe for you it's just

the pain of knowing somebody who really

deserves

help and you just can't do it because

you don't have the money

or maybe it's the inability to travel or

visit the places you'd really like to or

maybe visit some people

i know some people have made on their

list things like i just don't have the

money even go visit

the grandparents who are about to pass

away i know i need to be there but i

just can't

because i'm busy and i have to keep

working or because i don't have the

money to even get there

again this is not negative this is the

most positive thing you can do to

yourself

creating pressure on yourself massive

pressure

where not having money hurts will make

your brain

want to change that's the only way

you'll get rid of the sabotage does that

make sense

so let's go to the second stage the

second stage is let's just find out what

you think of when you think about money

itself

so now i'm going to give you about 60

seconds but in these 60 seconds what i'd

like you to do

is back in your success journal just

write down

anything you think of that you associate

to money if i say to you

money or a lot of money i want you to

write down

what pops up in your head just write

down singular words that you associate

to money

so you've got 60 seconds please begin

now go for it

okay time so what's on your list

well i'm not sure what's on yours but i

decided to try this with the engineer

here in the studio

and he came up with some things like

this he said that he has freedom

he associates to money time with loved

ones associates to money less stress

less bills safety and stress reduction

in the form of entertainment

somebody else here has on their list

freedom of movement

security giving peace of mind

hard work the burden of responsibility

lifestyle wider social latitude

interesting what's on your list now when

you look at your list

is it mostly positive or mostly negative

what i found is when i have people do

this it depends on the individual but

oftentimes

i get a lot of positives you know most

these lists both these lists seem to be

primarily positive they think about

money and there's these positive things

they associate pleasure and you say tony

then why would somebody sabotage if they

only associate pleasure

well let's try another approach and dig

a little deeper into your brain let's

see

if all your associations really are

positive

here's what i'd like you to try for the

next two minutes

i want you to write down the things you

remember hearing growing up

about money in other words what were you

taught about money

both explicitly and implicitly

by what people told you like for example

in your family your mom your dad etc

what are some of the phrases you

remember hearing jot them down now you

have two minutes

beginning now

okay again time so my question is

do you notice any conflicts here well i

don't know what's on your list but

if i were to take the sampling i have

here in the studio it's rather

interesting

in the beginning here we have a person's

list where they say the associated money

freedom time with loved ones less stress

less bills more safety stress reduction

in the form of entertainment

but what was this person taught growing

up well

money is the root of all evil second

thing on their notes

money isn't everything person obviously

doesn't know where to shop

third one is no time to enjoy it

fourth when no no there's no time to

enjoy it time with loved ones

no time to enjoy it isn't that an

interesting conflict and we wonder why

we sabotage why we start to move towards

and then all of a sudden think there's

going to be pain here and we sabotage

ourselves

here's another sampling a person whose

notes said that they associated money

freedom of movement and security and

giving and peace of mind and hard work

and the burden of responsibility few

negatives there and lifestyle

this person has money doesn't grow on

trees how's that for conditioning you

for abundance

i'm not saying it does but that's

probably not the best frame to hold in

your mind

an ongoing basis secondly we can't

afford it interesting and that sentence

is still probably running through this

person's brain

there's the next one it costs too much

or it's too expensive

here's the next thing on this

gentleman's list take care of pennies

and the dollars will take care of

themselves now let me ask you a question

how do you feel about taking care of

pennies

does that like really create pleasure

for you you think your brain says oh man

i'm gonna take care of all these pennies

so i get a few dollars

whoa i highly doubt it

here's my point you want to know why

people are sabotaging

check out the massive contradictions

here on the one hand the person

associates to money primarily positive

experiences

yet on the other everything the person

was taught growing up

is it's going to be painful think about

that

that's why people experience approach

avoidance where they go out and start to

make some money

but only go so far before they limit

themselves like having a governor on

your car

you put your foot on the accelerator you

start going a certain pace

but that's the highest you're going to

go see that governor is all the things

you were taught in the past those old

beliefs

now how do we eradicate them again we

associate enough pain to them

think about it are you willing to pay

the price

the price you wrote down to start with

here the things you're going to miss out

on your life in order to keep these

measly ideas in your mind that somebody

dumped in without realizing the impact

maybe years ago

i doubt it

so in essence what we can do right now

we've got a lot of choices

one way to change your beliefs is use

what you already know

do a dickens pattern on yourself go back

to the tape we did that and just guide

yourself right through it we've begun it

already haven't we

we've got you to begin to associate some

major pain if you don't change

but i also need you to do is associate

some pleasure to the change

and that part should be pretty easy all

you have to do now and let's do it is

make a list of all the benefits you

would have all the things you would get

in your life all the ways your life

would be absolutely

totally enhanced if money was no longer

a question in your life if you had true

financial freedom and financial

abundance i'm going to give you 120

seconds

to write down as fast as you can how

your life would be greater and better

if money was no longer an issue in your

life in other words what would be all

the additional benefits

how would your life be greater how would

your life be better immediately

if right now you handled the financial

issue you have 120 seconds write it down

now

all right time again now take a good

look at your list

this should be a whole list of things

that as you think about them

imagine if all of these things you wrote

down were actually part of your regular

daily reality

how would that make you feel see our

whole goal is to get ourselves now to

link major pleasure to financial

abundance not financial sufficiency but

financial abundance we want to link

major pleasure to that and paying to not

having it

so how did you do did your list really

produce the result

i figured as long as we're doing this if

i'd use the people here in the studio as

an example

so let me show you what they've got

they've got gosh if i had all this

additional financial abundance

my credit cards paid off that may make

me feel great my car would be paid off

i'd go to the theater more i'd go to

movies i'd go to cultural events

as a result i'd be informed i'd feel

relaxed i'd feel

cultured and increase my self-esteem i

feel more

i'd have more humor in my life i'd feel

more articulate more balanced

i'd be able to make conversation more

easily there'd be less stress in my life

i'd be able to have more time with my

son another person's list says gosh if i

had financial abundance not just

financial sufficiency

i could finish my studio i'd buy a new

home i'd have more travel time

i'd be able to get in the music business

full time and just enjoy what i love

most i could be more generous i could

give without any concern for the future

i'd have no daily pressures from

financial obligations

think about how you'd feel if these

things are really true

so what is the main strategy for turning

ourselves around financially

simple answer you've heard it many times

again repetition being in the mother of

skill and you've heard that one a few

times too haven't you

but i want to remind you that our brain

moves away from pain and towards

pleasure

right now if you don't have enough money

it's because your brain links pain to

having it

in a major abundance at least not

sufficiency but a major abundance

and a certain amount of pleasure staying

where you are we want to reverse it

how are we reversing it one create

massive pain and associate that pain to

not having it

two create tremendous pleasure to having

it get it clear in your mind that

there's a carrot and a stick and they're

going to drive you forward financially

and you'll see the financial

self-sabotage disappear from your life

now we need to go step beyond we've now

got the beliefs that work but that's not

enough by itself

got to go beyond just eliminating the

negative beliefs and by the way

one way to get rid of some of these old

beliefs that used to stop you as well

is to ridicule them see if you take

anything you've heard or said to

yourself

and all you do is say it over and over

again in a unique new way you create a

new anchor

in other words that's what advertisers

did right winston tastes good like a

winston tastes good like a winston

tastes good like a

how do you spell relief is r-o-l-a-a-s

r-o-l-a-i-d-s r-o-l-a-i-d-s and you

heard over and over again so that's what

you linked

simple anchoring so what you could do is

attach to those old phrases new beliefs

so that when your mind says money

doesn't grow on trees you say that's

absolutely right it grows

out of the positive ideas that i follow

through on every single day of my life

if you do that over and over again

pretty soon money doesn't grow on trees

won't have the negative

impact does that make sense i know that

sounds so simple

i'm sorry to help you to be free in an

easy way i guess we could make it

tougher

but that's all it really takes all

you've got to do is

identify what used to stop you destroy

it eliminate it or get it to trigger

something more positive

have you got one here that says

something like money isn't everything

say

for people who don't know where to shop

have some fun get yourself to giggle or

laugh

all you have to do is get these beliefs

to have less

heaviness to them less control over you

ridicule them play with them

and that's going to be one of your

exercises in fact it may be useful for

you to do that now

to go through right now and do things to

these beliefs to either make them

trigger a new empowering belief

or to ridicule them to the point where

they no longer affect you to where you

would think of them every time you

thought of

money isn't everything you begin to

smile think of that funny phrase well

you don't know where to shop

in other words it's not true what i'm

saying is not true

all it is is taking away a limitation

does that make sense

let's try it let's stop one last thing

you're giving me a lot of exercises

today

that's true but this is an issue it's

time to just get over and move on so you

can have the kind of abundance here that

you also

have and are continually developing your

relationships and in your business

and your spirituality and your emotion

and your energy and your life

go for it what i want you to do

specifically is the following

take out your success journal go through

each of those

limiting beliefs any any limiting

beliefs in other words remember we said

write down anything you used to hear

growing up about money any of them that

would be a limitation

and change the belief another attach a

new belief to it just the way we did

here monday doesn't grow on trees

that's right because it grows out of the

ideas that i generate every day and

follow through on that create good for

myself and other people

and just say it over and over again to

pretty soon you begin to link it or

maybe something simpler than that

complicated phrase i came up with

let's take another one as an example

let's say growing up you continually

hurt it's too expensive it's too

expensive now that's part of you

you say you're absolutely right it used

to be too expensive but now it's an

investment in my joy

you get the idea now you may say well

gosh this is really hard

so is not having any money you deserve

financial abundance right now get

creative and go through each of the

negative phrases or beliefs

and find a way to either counteract them

or attach something to them that will

empower you

please take the time to do this one

right now let's just eradicate these

beliefs

do it now okay time is up

so let's continue here with the people

in studio and see how they've done this

gentleman's list used to say money is

the root of all evil now it says

in the wrong hands money is the root of

all evil but i am a responsible

and sensitive person very nice

next one is money isn't everything but

added to my other qualities it'll do a

lot of good for me and those i really

care about

fabulous here's another example money

doesn't grow on trees

but it grows out of my acting on my

creative ideas

i can't afford it we can't afford not to

expand our financial resources

and share them with others as well

take care of the pennies and the dollars

will take care of themselves

if i take care of the pennies my focus

is way too narrow

if i take care of the opportunities that

exist around me right now and give great

service

the dollars will multiply massively

i have no time to enjoy money i have had

no time to enjoy money in the past but

i'm now learning to delegate and i'm

working

smarter every day these are fabulous

examples

that's what you need to do for yourself

as well free yourself from your old

beliefs

finally on today's lesson let's take a

look at what are some of the specific

empowering beliefs

that you might want to add to your

repertoire now not just to get beyond

financial self sabotage

but to really ensure financial freedom

here are a few of the beliefs that i've

modeled from people that are extremely

successful financially

and some of my own that have really

assisted me as well number one

money is nothing but a measure of the

value that i create for other people

the more i give to others the more money

i receive on an

ongoing and consistent basis number two

my belief is in order to become wealthy

i need only two things

one every single day live in an attitude

of gratitude that is

feel incredibly grateful for the wealth

that i already have in my life and my

friends and my family

and the environment and where i live and

my work

and everything around me see a sense of

possibility and feel the abundance that

is my

life that will create more wealth

without me doing anything else

like attracts light water seeks its own

level you've heard these phrases

burnt out as they may be over and over

again but they are true

in addition if you truly want to be

wealthy learn to consistently focus on

how to give

much more to others than you expect back

and by the way it's impossible

the more you give the more you're going

to receive

now you might say well tony this doesn't

work for me i tried it i tried it with

john smith you know what i did i gave

gave

dave gave me nothing well guess what

see it doesn't always come back from the

person you gave it to

sometimes they just take take take

you're right i have no argument with

that

but i'll tell you something you've got

to open your eyes you've got to start

paying attention because it's coming

back to you from somebody else somewhere

and if it hasn't already it's on its way

you got to trust you got to know that

that's true by living with those kinds

of beliefs you will attract the kind of

wealth that you deserve

how do you make certain that you develop

in your life besides eliminating the

sabotage you do what we talked about on

the seven wealth wounds

an abbreviated look of that might look

something like this one

decide exactly what you want financially

in terms of abundance remember we talked

about developing a number that was going

to be a must for you

not financial sufficiency but true

financial

abundance more than enough avalanches of

abundance that's what we're talking

about

make a decision because you got to

remember whatever you focus on

consistently you will get

so if you're always focusing on getting

by or how to pay your bills that's what

you get

if you focus on massive abundance that's

what you'll have too and as long as

in your mind now having massive

abundance is something good

having massive abundance is not negative

it's not guilt it's not

problems it's not pain it is pleasure

to be and do and create at the level

that you are as a spiritual and

successful human being

two daily condition your mind for wealth

so that your brain is looking for

opportunities to succeed financially

remember the metaphor we talked about we

talked about setting goals where you buy

a car

you buy a particular outfit and once you

have it all of a sudden everywhere

you start noticing everybody who has

that car noticing that outfit

well there's a part of your brain called

the reticular activating system

it's the part of your brain that

determines what you pay attention to

you recall earlier we said human beings

are deletion creatures

that we don't pay attention to most of

what's going on around us

we only pay attention to a small band of

our experience

our goals our mental conditioning tells

the ras

the reticular activating system what to

pay attention to the ras is like a

policeman

it determines what's going to get

through to your conscious awareness and

what's going to be screened out

so when you daily decide what you want

and condition yourself to look for

opportunity it's like all of a sudden

you see that car everywhere

all of a sudden you see those clothes

everywhere all of a sudden you will see

places that cash in financially

when you've now made the decision to

condition your mind to attract wealth

how can you do it well for years i

started using

affirmation for myself now you might say

well didn't you say affirmations aren't

that great

no i said that you've got to make sure

that if you're going to use an

affirmation you do it with some real

physiology that you really change your

state

and i basically i read all kinds of

books on attracting wealth and i found

this in one of those books and i really

liked it

and so i said it over and over again but

again saying an affirmation means

nothing unless you generate feeling

and before i give you this affirmation i

want you to know that it's not meant to

be religious in any way

i do want you to know that i do believe

in a creator i call it god you may call

that something else and that's fine

but i believe that you and i have this

privilege called

life because something or someone has

given it to us something greater than

our conscious awareness

and when people tell me well i don't

believe in a god i'm an atheist

my view to them is i like to ask them a

question i said so you're trying to say

to me that everything we see

the earth the plants our environment

this solar system this universe that all

works with absolute precision is all the

result of things just falling together

that's like saying webster's dictionary

is the result of an explosion in a print

factory

come on there's got to be something more

but let me just tell you how i condition

my mind for wealth i believe that we can

tap

in we can attract more in our lives when

we connect

ourselves mentally and condition

ourselves for that abundance so what i

say to myself is this

god's wealth is circulating in my life

his wealth flows to me and avalanches of

abundance

all my needs desires and goals are met

instantaneously

for i am one with god and god is

everything

and i would say this to myself over and

over and over and over again

i would go run down the beach for a

couple of miles saying this to myself

with all the intensity of feeling i

could generate

that's one of the major reasons i

believe that in 12 months i went from

totally broke

to a million dollar net worth because i

didn't just hope

i created a level of certainty in my

body

that total financial abundance was a

part of every cell every thought every

feeling and things began to

jump out at me and i began to attract

them now that may sound real

metaphysical it may sound weird to you

but anyone that i've met who has created

great financial abundance has not only

decided what they want

but they've begun to condition

themselves daily to have that level of

abundance where it felt

right for them and that's what i did

with myself i offer you the opportunity

if it's worthwhile for you or you can

correct it change the language so it

works for you

but please condition yourself for the

abundance you deserve

step three get some role models find out

what to do and get yourself a great

vehicle

one way to get a vehicle sit down and

write down what is it you love to do

most in the world to see i think

financial abundance comes from doing

what you love

most doing it massively and making sure

that in your doing it it creates

tremendous value for other people

if you do those things effectively

you're going to have financial abundance

so if you're looking for a vehicle what

do you love to do most number one

number two how could you do it in a way

where other people would benefit and be

willing to make an investment

to take part in something that you love

i mean that's what i've had the good

fortune of doing by asking that question

question three is how could you do it

massively so you could reach tons of

people and make a major difference and

hopefully get paid well in the process

and then fourthly how could you do it

intelligently so that once you've done

all the stuff and you've worked so hard

and you've helped those people there's

something called profit when you're done

there are lots of possibilities for

vehicles and there are lots of models if

you already want to stay right where you

are

and do very well financially again call

or write us we'll teach you some models

come to our seminars or find

somebody who you respect locally and

model them or go to somebody else's

program whatever it takes

please get yourself a model that's how

you'll know what to do

four make sure that on an ongoing basis

you experience yourself as a giver and i

save this for last because i want you to

remember this

i believe that the bottom line of

financial success

comes from your believing in your gut

that you deserve

everything that you've got in your life

now that may sound egotistical

but the reality is you got to feel like

you deserve it or it won't stay you

won't attract it

my way of generating that i deserved it

came in many ways number one i deserve

it because i'm alive

just as much as i deserve to grow

mentally emotionally in my relationships

and my intellect all those things i

think i deserve to grow so why would

finances be any different

in addition i deserve it because i'm a

giver because i

always strive to give much more than i

would expect back

these tapes are an example i hope you

can feel i'm trying to give you ten

thousand percent of myself at each and

every time here

i'm committed to having you get much

much more a hundred times more

a minimum of ten times more than you've

invested in this program

and i know for a fact if you've really

been listening it you agree with me

the bottom line is by knowing you're

always trying to give much more

you feel like whatever comes back yeah

hey i've earned it i deserve it and it's

great

now some people might say well you

shouldn't have to earn it you should

just accept it well that's a great

strategy too if that works for you do

whatever works

but make sure that you give see you got

to take at least 10

of what you earn and give it away

minimum

now some people say well tony when i

make more money then i'll give ten

percent who are you getting

what do you think is harder to give a

dime out of a dollar

or a hundred thousand out of a million

trust me

the hundred thousand will feel quite a

bit different than the dime out of the

dollar

if you don't develop the habits now you

certainly won't do it when the numbers

get bigger

listen go get yourself a book simple

book it's called the richest man in

babylon

it's by george clayson it's a very old

classic very small you can read it in a

short time

it's like a series of short stories

that'll teach you how to use money

through allegory

it'll teach you three basic principles

one it'll teach you no matter how much

money you make or don't make

take 10 of it and give it away

immediately why

it doesn't say this but this is what i

believe when you

give away a percentage of what you have

it teaches your subconscious mind that

there's more than enough

boy that's a great belief to install

because once it believes that

your subconscious mind will create that

reality in your life

it makes you feel like a giver and we

all deserve to have that feeling of

pleasure of being a giver and not a

taker

two it'll tell you to take 10 of what

you earn and use it to reduce your debts

pay off mastercharge visa arnold's

linoleum

whatever it takes and three take ten

percent

and save it up to invest no matter how

small it is you can't believe what some

of the investments are that are

available out there there are things

that take almost no money you could get

started with

and begin to build your wealth but make

sure you give and here's the fifth step

that i want you to take to really

condition yourself for wealth and move

to the next level

and that is create experiences with

money that create tremendous pleasure

and joy for yourself

and the people around you give to

yourself

be willing to really do that and watch

your financial picture change

in other words you can't expect to work

that hard make a lot of money

and then never get any pleasure out of

it just put it in cds or just invest it

or just give it away and never feel that

direct connection

of pleasure your brain won't do it

forever so you might take a certain

amount of your money and it's just mad

money

you're just going to go out and do

stupid fun things that maybe in the past

you used to make yourself wrong for

you're going to go play that's play

money and if you do that you can't

believe it will happen your brain will

go yeah let's make some more money we

can have some more play some more

pleasure

and it'll enhance your life in virtually

every way

remember if you have financial abundance

it's because you deserve it

if you've lived by your values and

you've truly given yourself

each day try to add major value to other

people's lives

and you've had a decent vehicle you will

develop financial abundance

you'll have financial access

now the challenge with that is what

people think when they hear excess is

too much but in this case you've got to

realize that your excess

is the result of you giving much more

than what's even shown up

it's a great score card for the value

you've added in other people's lives

and as a result you have even more on

your own as well there is no need to

create limits on yourself

let yourself grow well beyond your past

limits

and create the abundance you deserve

here's your assignment for today

you go i got another assignment why not

we're on a roll the last assignment is

this

as you turn the tape off let me give you

a 10-day challenge i know i've given you

some daily challenges

like your morning questions but just for

10 days

and start it today would you be willing

to take a minute or two

and begin to condition your mind for

financial possibility

by doing the following writing down

simply

three ideas on how to make money three

new ideas

either something that already exists

that you haven't been paying attention

to before

or a brand new idea a concept for a

service or a business or an investment

or a possibility or an invention

anything at all

and let me give you one caveat maybe a

bunch of your ideas won't be worthwhile

who cares how many ideas do you need

to be able to create financial abundance

one or two good ones that's it

and that's all you need is one so if you

did this for 10 days you'll have 30

ideas at the end of 10 days plus you'll

have done something

else you'll have established a

conditioned

mental pattern or habit of looking for

financial opportunity

and you certainly deserve that if you

keep looking you're liable to find

something and if you find something

you're liable to follow through and if

you follow through you're liable to make

some major money

and then you want to focus on money

you'll be able to just have that

abundance and be able to focus on

whatever you hold is most important now

so go for it
