Tony Robbins Helps You Condition Your Mind For Financial Wealth – Psychology audiobook
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 want 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 is 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 I’ve never 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 is if it was something evil or suspect something that you should have voided 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 opportunities 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 two billion dollar class I figured hey if I’m going to get some answers these people can tell me and I looked 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 a hundred to five hundred million dollars starting with a low 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-30s an example of Bill Gates so there are lots of role models of unbelievable possibility 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 grow rich today 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 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 have what we’re going to do in these next two sessions I usually sabotage it because most people have what i call wealth wounds fact i’m working on a chapter for a book called well towards the seven reasons why most people never make it financially and how to heal those wounds and what i want to give you as a small preview here at least some of those basic fundamentals right here on this program so that you can be going to use those right away 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 back the word excess by itself for those people as a negative so wonder why we don’t ever have it the very thing I’ve talked to you about here earlier in this program the thing that runs our whole life of two things what are they anything we associate pain to we’re going to avoid especially if its major pain and anything we associate pleasure to we’re going to move towards now you may again say well Tony are you talking about of course I associate pleasure to making money because if i had money that i could really 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 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 want or I can have the ultimate wardrobe or jewelry or i can have favorite cars or homes whenever I wanted them I could learn to fly or master any skill or hire the best teachers the best coaches 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 looted 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 linked and their subconscious mind of 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 paint 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 all be old and gray anyway so why even glass through or to make money 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 out to me and then what will happen people usually worry about these things that people have no money and all to start with they knocked himself out of the game before they even get to bat or if I make a lot of money i probably won’t be a spiritual I mean I’ll get sucked in and 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 your needles classic misinterpretations like that cause people to live in experiences of whack and I don’t know of any place in the world where when people feel like they’re living in LAC where they feel like they don’t have enough where that encourages the highest level the human spirit to come out on a consistent basis now I might be wrong about that but I got to tell you where ever I see lack I see crime in math 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 whack 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 now 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 being a contributor obviously you and I can name named after name of people have been able to do this and our role models the possibility even though they grew up with nothing financially and never had anything so I’m not saying money the only answer I’m just saying in this culture and 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 and the people’s lives you care about as well as your own and enjoy having it get off the guilt trip sort of stopped you in the past it is that sense of guilt that if you have more money than somebody else 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 in those beliefs and we’re going to talk a little bit more about that on the next tape 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 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 you 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 an 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 it’s not only do they have negative association of the 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 just where everything is 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 abundant and come up with a specific video you hold yourself to I give an example people who consistently stay at a specific way who wants that but really stays in and they don’t really very a whole lot in modeling these people I found that they have certain things in common and I do a whole health seminar called my living health seminar but 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 that can vary and it’s usually small let’s say two or three or four pounds maximum yes for example they say I’m gonna weigh 235 pounds and all of a sudden they creep up and they see their 238 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 very you got to do something about it immediately otherwise you get caught up in what we call niagara’s current right we’re day to day you just get caught up in making living and doing things and putting things off and it doesn’t happen so the only way you’re going to succeed insulators 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 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 going to 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 it’s 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 to having money pained and not having it in other words you really made it a muss and that was it and we all have it but see that isn’t enough if that’s all it took in life to succeed with absolute passion for something then every kid would that 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 the slaves of 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 a link pleasure to it or it won’t continue to work for it and if you can learn to share it with people i found that yes giving yourself things as fabulous and you should do that but if you can also share that it’ll give you even more joy it will 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 and the answer is simple we use modeling 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 now what you’re going to do is stock it you’re going to study its habits you’re going to notice where it goes really follow this pray and then don’t kill it make it your pet take it home make it your friend take good care of this patent this pet will take really good care of you
