Building a Wealth Mindset – Tony Robbins Motivation

Building a Wealth Mindset – Tony Robbins Motivation

I want to talk to you today about what i think it really takes to become wealthy in financial terms specifically we're going to talk about today how to condition yourself for wealth because i'm going to make a statement right now that may sound like an oversimplification to you but i have to tell you that it's true in my.

Experience and my experience is how to shift myself and other people's finances from struggling to absolute total abundance and that statement is this if you do not have enough money in your life there's one and only one primary reason you have not conditioned yourself for wealth let's start with a little understanding.

About money first of all when you talk about money have you ever noticed what an emotionally charged issue it is for people i mean people usually go one extreme or the other either it's like real positive for them and they get real excited or they say yeah i want to be able to make some money i want to make things happen in that area or you see.

The direct opposite extreme where people literally have contempt for it as if it was something evil or suspect something that you should avoid at almost all costs and that usually shows up obviously and their lack of economic well-being why is it such an emotional issue for us well we could spend several days just.

Analyzing all the associations that have been attached to money throughout the years both in religious terms as well as in business terms all the experiences that we've had but the truth is money is nothing but a representation a means to measure the exchange of value between people so one of the questions that i've asked.

Myself is why do so many people fail to achieve financial abundance in a country where financial opportunity surrounds us literally at every moment it beckons to us and yet most of us never do that we never create the financial abundance we deserve to have so i asked the question why not why don't people succeed financially.

Out of that question i started getting some answers on my own but i also started getting answers by going out and modeling some of the most successful people in the world financially people that are in the hundred million to billion dollar class i figured hey if i'm going to get some answers these people can tell me and i.

Look for people specifically in that area who have made it financially on their own people have started with little or nothing ideally and by the way there are many more than you realize we live in a country where people can generate net worth of 100 to 500 million dollars starting with a little idea for a computer in their garage.

Or where somebody can go to ibm as a young kid and become a billionaire by his mid-thirties in the example of bill gates so there are lots of role models of unbelievable possibility and you may say well that's not my goal i can appreciate that but these people certainly know how to create and build wealth and more.

Importantly maintain it you know years ago there was a book written called think and grow rich and i'm sure you've heard of it you've probably read it as well it's one of those very first books that i read when i first started reading personal development material and you know the book was based on the research done back.

In the early 1900s when andrew carnegie asked napoleon hill to actually make a study of what it takes to build wealth and my own work in this area could be called think and go rich today because that is in today's society with today's distinctions and today's technology what is today's approach to building wealth what really makes the difference.

Financially today and what i found is there are certain distinctions that have not changed because the building of wealth is fundamental and so a big part of my research has been what is the mindset of wealth what does it allow certain people to not only expect it but find a way.

What i found is that most people even when they learn how to do things if you don't handle what we're going to do they usually sabotage it because most people have what i call wealth wounds so the obvious question is what is the number one reason why most people fail financially and the answer is so simple that it eludes most of us it's because.

We associate negative things to having excess money in fact the word excess by itself for most people is a negative so wonder why we don't ever have it the very thing i talked to you about here earlier in this program the thing that runs our whole life is two things what are they anything we associate pain to we're.

Going to avoid especially if it's major pain and anything we associate pleasure to we're going to move towards now you may again say well tony what are you talking about of course i associate pleasure to making money because if i had money then i could literally have more time to be with my family i wouldn't have to work at certain things.

Or if i had money i could give certain things that are really important to me or i could support a specific charity i believe in or you know what i could travel or i could just do whatever i wanted as quick as i wanted of course i want money if you don't have it you're right you do want it but not bad enough.

Because while you want it you have an approach avoidance you also simultaneously have all the negative associations and we alluded to these earlier i don't know if you remember them but i want to remind you repetition being the mother of skill what are some of the negative associations that people sometimes link in their subconscious.

Mind to money that keep them from literally attracting it or they start to attract it and then their brain gets scared and says oh my god this might lead to pain and then sabotages it well some of them are things like in order to make it i'm gonna have to work so hard i'll have no time to enjoy it so why even try.

Or gosh by the time i earn a lot of money i'll be old and gray anyway so why even go after it or to make money you got to be really smart and i'm not smart enough or to make money you have to take advantage of other people i could never do that or something like well gosh you know if.

I made money i wouldn't have any time to be with my family or if i made a lot of money people will start judging me or if i make a lot of money well then i'll just have to pay more taxes and then the irs will be after me and then what will happen people usually worry about these things and people have no money at all to start.

With they knock themselves out of the game before they even get to bat or if i make a lot of money i probably won't be as spiritual i mean i'll get sucked in and of course i remember reading the bible it said you know it's easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than the rich man to get.

Into heaven and gosh you know it's hard for camels to get through needles classic misinterpretations like that cause people to live in experiences of lack and i don't know of any place in the world where when people feel like they're living in lack where they feel like they don't have enough where that.

Encourages the highest level of the human spirit to come out on a consistent basis now i might be wrong about that but i got to tell you wherever i see lack i see crime in mass wherever i see lack i see people trying to escape with drugs wherever i see lack i see people taking advantage of other people and making it.

Okay justifying it by why i had to survive i don't think lack brings out the best in the human spirit i think when we have abundance what happens is we stop focusing on ourselves and how we're going to survive and we have enough to start focusing on who we really are which are human beings.

Or spirits that are here to contribute and i think when you're in the position of trying to survive your focus is on you when you've learned to handle that message when you really know you've got your act together and you don't have to worry anymore it's much easier for people to look at how can i contribute.

To my fellow man now i'm not saying that you can't come from a position of lack and be a contributor so i'm not saying money is the only answer i'm just saying in this culture in this time if you had a choice between having it or not having it why not go for it and have it too why not use your money as a powerful tool for positive influence on the.

People's lives you care about as well as your own and enjoy having it get off the guilt trips that have stopped you in the past it is that sense of guilt that if you have more money than somebody else or what if you made more money than your father oh my gosh god what a wound that would be it's that kind of thing those negative.

Associations that are keeping you from having what you want so if you do not have all the money you want your life you associate more pain to having more money than you have now than not having it it's that simple now with the technology that we've learned you can condition yourself to change those feelings and those beliefs.

But i want you know that is the number one reason that most people don't succeed financially according to people that are most successful in the world at obtaining maintaining and building wealth here's the second wealth wound and by the way i picked those words very specifically i want to get a clear.

Picture that if you don't master and handle the seven things i'm about to talk about then every single day you're probably experiencing a financial bloodletting what's happening is you are experiencing the pain on ongoing basis of wounds things that are literally dripping out of you your own financial well-being and.

There's no excuse for it you can handle it easily and quickly here's the second one the second reason these people say and have told me thus far that people do not succeed financially is not only do they have negative associations to money but even if they have okay associations they never make having an abundance of money an absolute must.

Interesting distinction i'm not saying love money and make it your god because that's the way to absolutely be certain that you fail in life that you destroy everything that's valuable but what i am saying is make it a priority so you get it handled and make the priority not just getting by make the priority massive abundance and.

Come up with a specific figure you hold yourself to i'll give an example people who consistently stay at a specific weight who are once fat but really stay thin and they don't really vary a whole lot in modeling these people i found that they have certain things in common just.

To give you an idea or distinction the one thing that they all have in common is they have decided upon an ideal weight a weight that they must be at and they have a specific amount they can vary and it's usually small let's say two or three or four pounds maximum if for example they say i'm going to weigh 235 pounds and all of a sudden.

They creep up and they see their pounds instantly they do whatever it takes to get back to 235 because 235 for them is a must do you follow me the same thing has to be true for you financially you've got to have a certain level of finances that you must be at if you ever vary you've got to do something about it.

Immediately otherwise you get caught up in what we call niagara's current right where day to day you just get caught up in making a living and doing things and putting things off and it doesn't happen so the only way you're going to succeed financially is when you decide on a specific amount of money that you must have in your life and it must be well.

Beyond what your absolute needs are so in other words what i'm asking you to do is take something that seems right now to be an accessory money and make it a necessity find an amount of money that would be considered abundant and make that not only abundant but a necessity in your life you follow me that's critical if.

You're gonna have long-term wealth financially and if you don't do this there's no way you'll be able to have the amount of money i know you'd like to have in your life the third major wealth wound that drains most people drive financially in fact keeps them from ever developing a great deal of wealth in the first place.

Is suffering from the problem or falling into the trap of never ever developing an effective strategy on how to build wealth in the first place i mean listen if all it took to succeed financially was for you to associate lots of pleasure having money pain to not having it in other words you really made it a must and that was it then we'd.

All have it but see that isn't enough if that's all it took in life to succeed was absolute passion for something then every kid would have had a pony when he was growing up that's not quite enough you got to have an effective strategy hey if you're running east looking for a sunset you got a problem i don't care how.

Enthusiastic you are so you've got to develop strategies on how to one attract money into your life in the first place how are you going to create that initial income to how to manage that money so that you can invest it and get money to be your slave instead of you being a slave to money in.

Other words get your money to make you more money so it's not taking more of your time and physical effort but where you literally begin to leverage yourself and then three strategies and how to share money so it gives you a tremendous amount of joy because to me that's a strategy that's critical also otherwise why are you going to keep getting it.

Your brain has got to link pleasure to it or it won't continue to work for it and if you can learn to share with people i've found that yes giving yourself things is fabulous and you should do that but if you can also share that it'll give you even more joy it'll give you all those pleasurable feelings you've really wanted.

Those are three strategies that are critical so how do we go about mastering these strategies where do we come up with this i mean we weren't taught this in school that's for sure no one said hey take wealth building 101. so how do we go about it and the answer is simple we use modeling remember one thing i talked to.

You about earlier that has helped me to be effective in various areas of my life is been getting role models finding people that are effective and finding out exactly what they do that's all you have to do in this area as well you need to find people that are successful financially and find out exactly what they do on an.

Ongoing basis that creates that success in other words they aren't just lucky in order to get this result they're doing certain things on a daily basis and it's a lot simpler than you can imagine hey i turned my entire life around financially in less than 12 months i was the guy in that 400 square foot bachelor apartment 12 months later at a million dollar net.

Worth that's not a small turnaround i moved my little 400 square foot bachelor apartment to my castle all of that came from modeling successful people financially if you're interested in developing absolutely effective plans and how to start from literally zero or a small amount of investment and build.

Significant wealth financial abundance in your life that's specifically what a good portion of my life has been focused on and i've interviewed and developed the strategies and modeled the strategies of some of the most successful people in the country and i know how to put it across simply so if you want to know about that please do.

Call us because we do seminars on that specifically and you don't have to come to our seminars there are other people's too there are other books or you don't even have to go to any seminars you can go and meet these people directly and model them yourself you can find people in your own neighborhood people around you have done extremely well and find.

Out exactly what they're doing that makes it work become like an investigator become like a hunter and your prey is now wealth and what you're going to do is stalk it you're going to study its habits you're going to notice where it goes really follow this prey and then don't kill it make it your pet.

Take it home make it your friend take good care of this pet and this pet will take really good care of you gosh if you can make earning money and developing wealth fun you can't believe what will happen in your life it doesn't become your whole focus but it becomes a part of what creates joy for you in life and while you're doing it by the way.

You're adding value to other people's lives because the only way you can possibly make money is to create an exchange of energy and value for other human beings that's the only way it can be done and by the way once you've really studied and you've developed a plan to develop wealth the only thing you're.

Going to need in addition is a good vehicle and again part of your plan should be how to get that vehicle how to develop something for you so the earning money even while you're sleeping how would you feel then instead of feeling like every day there are things you had to do just to keep up just to support your.

Family just to have a certain level of lifestyle so developing not only a plan but the right vehicle is very very important and again that's things that we teach and things you can learn on your own by modeling other people but that is wealth rule number three failure to get an effective strategy for consistent wealth building here's.

Wealth wound number four this one's pretty simple failure to consistently follow your plan once it gets set up see there are people who actually have developed a good plan they've got some good role models they worked really hard they've studied finances but they don't get themselves every single day to follow through.

Like for example i'm sure you've heard about all the different kinds of programs where people teach people how to get rich overnight and you know what some of them really would work a lot of them don't obviously a lot of them are scams but some of them really do work the problem is people don't work them they go to a seminar and.

They learn how they're supposedly going to build something financially but they never follow through it's mind-boggling but the problem is they don't have what we're teaching you which is how to get yourself to follow through how to condition yourself so you consistently take those small steps that create huge financial abundance i mean one of the.

Simplest examples that i can give you is one you probably already know about but the question is have you followed through on it and that is the whole principle of compound interest you're familiar with it aren't you gosh if you're not you need to introduce yourself to the principal what it basically says is this if you take a.

Certain amount of money and you set it aside and all you do is allow that money to continue to bring you interest in other would you lend it to a financial institution or make a simple investment a very secure investment and you get a return of let's say 10 or.

16 percent now by the way when i say that to some people they say oh you couldn't get a secure investment at 16 percent they simply don't know the strategies there are people whose net worths over a hundred to five hundred billion dollars who will tell you that anyone even with a very small amount of money can earn over twenty percent.

Annually on their money in a very secured way in fact that's part of the strategies that we teach in our money seminars but the point is let's just say you took a small amount of money let's say for example 325 a day 100 a month and all you did was invest that and got 16 return on your money and all you did was do that every single month in other.

Words every day you followed your plan you put a little three dollars and 25 cents away a hundred dollars a month and you invested it at sixteen percent what does that mean if you don't take that money out and you really stick to your plan answer after five years what you have is eight thousand dollars.

After ten years you've got twenty one thousand dollars just a hundred dollars a month after 15 over 41 000 after 20 years you got 75 000 after 25 you've got over 125 000 by investing a hundred dollars a month now maybe that's not going to make you wealthy within 25 years but we're.

Talking about a simple little thing you could do every day that would be absolutely painless hey let's say you decided to be a real big spender you said i'm going to be a major investor i'm going to put a big dollars and 50 cents away a day that's right i'm gonna cut down on a few pepsi's i'm gonna cut down on a few.

Boxes of cigarettes whatever it is you'd spend that on and i'm gonna actually put that away and invest it each month that's a whole 200 a month in investments again at 16 check this out after five years at only 200 a month six dollars and fifty cents a day you've got almost nineteen.

Thousand dollars after ten years without touching it simply six dollars and fifty cents a day investing it the way we would teach you to real simply you'd have over sixty thousand dollars after fifteen years a hundred and fifty thousand dollars after twenty years over three hundred and fifty thousand.

Dollars after twenty five years you have just under a million dollars just by putting aside 650 a day see the biggest reason most people don't make money is not because they can't figure out how to do it but because they don't follow through they don't do those simple little daily things that can make them successful and again this is not.

The only way to be wealthy this is just a nest egg this is not learning all kinds of active strategies this is not learning all the ways you can build wealth through additional income this is just taking the small amount of resources that any human being can virtually get their hands on and you can develop it.

That is a major wound not following your plan obviously what we teach you is how to be able to get yourself to follow through in anything especially a financial plan here's wealth wound number five relying on experts you go what do you mean tony i mean who else can i rely on take a wild guess.

Yourself you've got to get to the point where you have enough expertise that you can make your own financial decisions if you don't you are going to experience a major financial wound and it may kill you financially it may destroy you financially and create something like bankruptcy i'm speaking from experience.

I was in a position where i thought i don't want to have to deal with this money stuff i don't care about money i just want to go out and help people and do my thing yeah well i got a company and stuff but let somebody else handle all that well i let him handle it all right and i woke up a few years later 758 thousand dollars in debt i mean try.

That on for size when you've been working and doing 270 seminars in a year every day giving a hundred percent caring about people and not paying attention and i got good advice from good people but the bottom line is they gave me advice that wasn't effective you've got to know i'll tell you another area you better become an expert is and.

That's taxes because the tax laws are changing so often and even the experts who are supposed to be able to tell you exactly what to do can't agree so either you give up and hope everything's going to work out well the irs won't buy that if there's a problem they're going to come see you not your.

Accountant so if your name's on the line you better know what's going on there otherwise you could get yourself in big trouble and if you know what's going on you can pay the appropriate amount of tax and not more than the appropriate amount of taxes that are out there as well hey listen you wonder how important.

Taxes are one-third of all the wealth you're going to earn in your lifetime goes to the government in taxes one-third best you learn to manage that effectively and not overpay that's not being intelligent that's not being patriotic listen if you want to help your community take that money invested.

Directly in a charity or something you really care about directly don't overpay simply because you don't know what the rules are just remember you're going to spend more money on taxes than you'll spend on your children's college education or virtually any other investment you're going to make in your life so it makes sense to understand.

This area again i'm not saying just go out and only be a self-study and don't get any input and don't get any advice i'm saying bear in mind that the decisions that you make financially are your decisions you will pay the price or you will reap the rewards so best you understand them wealth wound number six financial complacency.

Hey if you want to make sure that you absolutely fail in life the quickest and easiest way is to begin to rest on your laurels that is to get so comfortable that you stop paying attention you stop doing the things that are necessary that create success it happens with your physical body where you start to take it for granted you don't exercise anymore.

And whammo you pay the price it happens in relationships you go well the person knows i love them and you stop expressing it and all of a sudden the relationship begins to deteriorate there is a law of life that we must never forget if we want lifelong success and that is whatever you fail to use you lose.

Remember the bible story of the talents remember the great merchant one day he knew he was going to go on a trip and be gone for quite some time and he wanted to make sure that his money his talents which was a measure of silver in those days was going to be invested effectively that in fact he would prosper even while.

He was gone a very wealthy and bright man he decided to entrust his talents into his three servants and he brought the first servant and he explained that he'd be leaving and then he said i'm gonna give you five talents please take care of them while i'm gone the second servant he brought in he said.

I'm gonna give you two of my talents i'll be leaving please take good care of them and i'll be checking in with you when i come back to see how you've done and again he did the same thing with a third servant giving him only one talent when he finally returned he called each of the servants in one by one to see how they'd done with his talents.

The first servant came in and said sir i took the five talents you gave me and i traded them and i used them and i invested them and they have multiplied i now have for you sir ten talents and the master said well done that's excellent he brought in the second servant he said what happened with you the gentleman.

Said well you gave me two talents you know it's kind of scary out there a little bit you know i went out there some people try to steal one of the talents it was kind of tough but i hung in there i pushed real hard i made some wise investments and sure enough i've doubled the talents they've gone from two to four and the master said well.

Done that's excellent the third servant was called in the man who was given one talent he came in and the master asked him what did you do with the one talent i gave you he said sir well you only gave me one talent so i couldn't afford to take any chances so i thought i'd protect the talent by taking it and wrapping it in a.

Napkin and then i buried it that way nobody could steal it the master turned to the servant and said you sir are a wicked and slothful servant which i guess means he was kind of upset with him and the bottom line he said take that talent from this man and give it to the man who has ten now you might say well that's not very.

Fair hey nobody said life was fair but in reality those who do well with what they've got will be given more and that's the first lesson to get from the story i think the second lesson is lots of people when i talk to them about wealth wounds why they don't have money and how they can turn it around the.

First thing you tell me is i don't have enough to do this i don't have enough to invest listen you don't have enough not to invest you must find a way otherwise you will never have what you want bearing what you have will not give you more it will cause life to take away what little you do have.

So the message is right from the bible itself if you don't use what's given to you you're going to lose it period you've got to make sure that once you start to succeed with your wealth that you don't sit down on it because see if you don't actively try to build more you're not adding more value to other people the only way to multiply your.

Wealth is to invest your money which creates more opportunity more possibility for others around you otherwise what you're doing is hoarding and it will be taken from you make sure you don't get so comfortable that you stop focusing financial wealth comes from consistent focus on how to continually create maintain and build.

Your financial foundation so we've talked about six very powerful wealth wounds things that drain our capability financially and cause us to erode the foundation of unlimited financial possibility and freedom what's the seventh one well let's imagine that you've handled the.

First six and you've really done well and you've built something up now you finally have got something here you've really built some wealth you've got a major foundation here you've got some freedom and then one day something happened you never anticipated something happened you never thought would happen a million.

Years you have what we call a minor disappointment like losing 50 percent of your wealth overnight or like being in the stock market one october day and seeing all that you work for dwindle down in a matter of hours how does this relate to wealth rule number seven well number seven is what kills most people even after they begin.

To really succeed it's the final kicker that if you can master this one if you can patch this wound up and heal it you can remove all the scars from your financial body and actually get to experience what it feels like to move in the world we call wealth abundance an unlimited sense of possibility in.

Your ability to create opportunity for yourself and the people you care about the opportunity to have influence in your lifetime if you can heal number seven you get all of that if you don't all of a sudden everything you work for drops out and welcome number seven i'm sure you figured out by now is allowing financial.

Crisis to turn into financial ruin in other words i don't care who you are how bright you are how successful you are how hard you work at being brilliant financially i can guarantee you one thing you're going to have some major learning experiences remember earlier when we said that success is the result of good judgment the good judgment is.

The result of experience and experience unfortunately is often the result of bad judgment i can guarantee in your lifetime they're going to be places where you have bad judgment the best financial managers have bad judgment there are things you cannot control if when those crises occur no matter how bad they may seem you allow that to.

Become the completion of your financial picture you say why even try or here i did all this and this is what i got rewarded or gosh i can never invest again because i tried this thing one time and i lost all my money if that happens you have the ultimate wealth wound in fact you have a dagger that will murder your financial future.

The bottom line that may sound harsh but it is real this is the one that kills most people they go the well i tried this one thing one time so gosh i can't do that again or i tried this thing and i gave it all and this is what happened so i better not do anything again and you know what that's called death rattle it'll never happen they'll never have.

What they want financially you've got to be like a rubber ball and bounce back up and learn from what happened there and reinvest wherever you are remember the key belief system i shared with you earlier the past does not equal the future if you believe it does it will control your financial future you must get up.

And take another cut at the ball hey babe ruth struck out more times than anybody in baseball history but he also got more home runs you got to be willing to get up there again if you focus on the failure you'll never have what you want you must take financial crisis and learn to transform it into financial opportunity through the new distinctions.

You have you'll be able to accomplish much more but you do have to have a little thing called faith and i know that doesn't sound like a financial term but the bottom line is without it you'll never make an investment in your life and you've got the ultimate wound every religious book on the planet talks about the power of faith with the faith of a.

Mustard seed what you can do i'm not talking about blind faith i'm talking about learning from situations and then taking new action in a direction that makes sense you must heal the seventh wound in order to ensure your future and create ultimate financial freedom it's within your grasp what i want you to do now is to handle.

These things in advance the time to handle a problem is before it ever comes up and so what i want you to do is your exercise for today is to condition yourself for wealth how by understanding the seven fundamentals that make the difference between financial success or ruin you now know them let's begin to implement them i.

Want you to take out your success journal right now and i want you to use these seven distinctions to give yourself a financial checkup see if there's any place where you're wounded or you need to heal yourself and quick how do you do it start with number one ask yourself specifically what are some of the beliefs that i have that are.

Probably keeping me from increasing my personal wealth from attracting financial abundance what are the beliefs i've got about that that are probably holding me back making me feel like oh god that wouldn't be right what are they and identify them question number two remember we said the reason people don't succeed they don't.

Make having financial abundance a must financial survival is a must but not abundance so ask yourself the question do i have a specific amount of money that i have selected that is well beyond my bare necessities something that would represent massive financial abundance that i absolutely am committed to having that i.

Have made a must and if not you need to design that number and you get yourself to make it important enough that you will make this happen no matter what three do i have an effective strategy to build my wealth and to absolutely achieve those goals and surpass them if the answer is no i want you to commit to do.

Something today to find out more write somebody call somebody talk to somebody and find out what are some initial steps you can get to master your finances don't put it off even one day this is critical four practice what we're talking about here get yourself once you have the plan analyze have you in the past gotten.

Yourself to follow through consistently if the answer is no please use what you're learning here on how to get yourself to follow through to use your personal power and just do a little bit each day just like we're doing here we're taking things a little step at a time each day but each day builds on the day before.

Give yourself that benefit question number five what do you need to learn so that you can make the financial decisions in your life with good input but what do you need to learn about taxes etc and actually make a list of the things you don't understand and go find someone who can give you those.

Answers six gosh i'm giving you a lot of work here aren't i i've gotten carried away here but this is an important subject and i want to make sure this gets handled for you because i see so many people that have such a great life emotionally and.

Mentally and their family and i see them in so much pain because they just haven't handled their money it's so insane you know you've got to handle this thing i hope i hope i've gotten through to you on this and i'll give you a lot of homework just do it okay all right six.

Six just write yourself a sentence or two that makes it really clear why you're going to continue to follow through even when you start to succeed where you won't get caught up in going well i'm doing pretty good where you'll keep a financial vigil don't do what i did you know i had to learn the hard way learn the easy way pay attention to your.

Finances consistently don't just you know get comfortable and allow things to dwindle or give up the power to somebody else and finally number seven develop a belief within yourself and when i say this as homework i'm asking you to develop or write a belief that'll support you but if i was going to tell you what it is what it is for me develop.

A belief within yourself that no matter whatever happens financially that who you are personally is much bigger than anything that could ever happen to you financially bigger than anything that could happen to our economy develop a belief in the core of your being that you are more than finances clearly.

As hard as i pushed you to really take care of this equally hard get clear that finances is not the game of life but it's one of them and the reason i stressed it strongly with enthusiasm is because i think it's the one that most people concentrate on least and creates the most amount of pain let's make sure that.

Today you take some new action and one more thing i don't want to leave out and that is one of the greatest ways to become wealthy instantaneously is to understand the essence of real wealth and that is i had the privilege of interviewing sir john templeton several times and i asked him.

What does it take to be wealthy and john's response was gratitude i thought wow he said yes tony said think about how many people you know have an immense amount of money but they're emotionally poor they live in worry they live in fear they're angry all the time.

He said when you were grateful doesn't matter how much money you have when you're grateful you're rich no matter how much money you have when you're not grateful you're bore i thought how true and so let me tell you a way that i use to keep that gratitude because i have the unique privilege in my life now or i.

Don't ever have to work another day of my life it's an amazing feeling so the only do things because you're passionate about them because you love them because it taps into your six human needs you start to feel like you can really contribute and grow and make a difference because i had the experience very young of the stress of not doing.

Well financially for my family i'm talking about when i was a child and we had a thanksgiving where someone came and delivered food to our home and my father was upset by it because he felt insulted but i'll tell you what what came out of it for me was unbelievable gratitude and the desire to give something back and it's a big part.

Of what's driven me ever since and so one of things i started doing when i was 18 i didn't really have any money but i said i want to give back so i went out on thanksgiving instead of just eating turkey i just said what i'd do is i would go out and i would be grateful and the way to do that for me was thanksgiving was to give thanks to.

Actually give back to others so i went and fed three families actually two families the first thanksgiving and then it became three for several years and i went as the delivery boy so i wouldn't be insulting to them and it was the most incredibly rich experience for me because it reminded me number one that i was capable of not just taking.

Care of myself but taking care of other people too it reminded me of what the best parts of me were and it made my life feel like it came full circle all i'm trying to say to do is two things get a plan change your associations and one of the most powerful ways to do that besides everything else we've.

Talked about is contribute go do something for other people just prove to yourself there's more than enough that's what changes people's lives so i say to you if you say you don't have the money to go help somebody you can't afford not to you can help somebody and then the minute you do this.

The minute you reach down deep you find a way to do for someone else or do for yourself but especially when you find a way to do for someone else you teach your brain there's more than enough and that's what a lesson i want you to get from this tape i want you to change it i want you to see that wealth is abundance and abundance usually causes.

More of the best of us to come out remember money will make of you more of who you are and if you're good it'll give you more to be good with so let this day be a brand new beginning for you take some action today that shows that what we've been talking about is real for you go out and do something unique for someone else or make an.
