The Psychology of Wealth

January 30th, 2012

The Psychology of Wealth notes that most people don’t apply a fraction of the new stuff they learn. There’s always something stopping them and it’s the very thing that causes underachievement relative to their innate potential.

The conscious part of you wants to do things and often feels restless and frustrated because it can’t get any traction and it can’t achieve what’s important to you. Something prevents the action part of your brain from responding to the desire part of your brain.

On your journey to economic and personal freedom, you’re always going to bump into contradictory forces. Some forces see you pushing past fears and achieving all your dreams.
Most forces are designed to keep you locked into underachievement and locked into your fears.

The psychology of wealth means understanding an important concept before you can progress. Between your subconscious and conscious mind lies what psychologists call your “critical faculty”. It’s a powerful psychological filtering mechanism that monitors every thought or idea that comes into your awareness. It rejects anything that doesn’t resonate with information that’s previously been accepted by your subconscious mind as being “true” for you.

Unbeknown to your conscious mind, if you’ve previously accepted that financial freedom is not possible for you, or you believe you’re not clever enough, or that you don’t deserve happiness, or that you don’t have the time, as far as your subconscious mind is concerned, these are “truths” and it’ll reject any information to the contrary.

Your subconscious mind is where you find powerful drivers for action. Problem is that it mainly operates on old instructions, old programs and the information stored in old beliefs and values and past experiences. Broadly speaking, the conscious mind acts on your desire for knowledge and information, for learning new stuff and dreaming big dreams.

No matter how much your conscious mind might want something, unless you change the programs of your subconscious mind, your “critical faculty” will ensure that nothing gets through to the action part of your brain and that you remain stuck with old results.

For the most part, messages from the conscious mind cannot get through to the subconscious mind because the filters of the critical faculty are clogged with old ideas and beliefs, with fears and doubts, worries and stress, excuses and stories, uncertainty and old conditioning. It’s why people repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

Learning how to “unclog” your critical faculty is the most exciting learning you can ever do. New and exciting neuroscience and neuroeconomic research reveals that by applying new learning, not only are you able to clear your filters, you open up new pathways between the desire and action parts of your brain. It’s one of the main secrets of millionaires.

Just imagine, with these secrets of success on board, in a few short months from now, you could completely avoid more years of sameness, settling for less and putting yourself last. You’ll be able to reclaim your dreams and achieve the results that are important to you.

You become more productive and get twice as much done with half the effort. It’s not hard; it just takes some new knowledge and a bit of dedication. You can even get some of it to become automatic so you don’t have to work so hard.

A series of complimentary webinars on this topic is being delivered to those enrolled in The Ten Steps To Wealth eCourse. The first of these begins on Thursday 2^nd of Feb 7.30pm to 8.30pm Perth time in Western Australia. If you’re registered at www.tenstepstowealth.com but can’t make the time slot, a recording will be made available.

You can learn to unshackle the power of your mind and have wealth, happiness, choice and freedom as measurable results. Most importantly, you’ll have an inner knowing, an inner confidence that you can now control any outcome you want to experience, have or be: that’s the value of the psychology of wealth.

The Psychology of Wealth

January 24th, 2012

The Psychology of Wealth is always interested in the power of the mind to create an individual’s reality.

The power of your subconscious is said to be a million times more powerful than your conscious mind. While this ratio may differ according to different research, there is absolutely no doubting that a huge ratio exists.

I’ve seen too many instances where the subconscious mind gets blamed for underachievement because of all the conditioned programs it keeps running. But the power of the subconscious mind is fantastic news because you can use it to shape extraordinary achievement just as well as it can shape underachievement.

Within the subconscious mind is an automatic successing mechanism that’s reflexive and habitual. It keeps you safe from harm and it’s been guiding the survival and development of the human species for hundreds of thousands of years. You can learn to shape this very same successing mechanism in a way that has you automatically becoming more productive and achievement oriented over the next year or so.

The first principle of whatever you want over the next twelve months is “to think it into existence first”. And I’m pretty sure that this is a major point of breakdown for most people. If you don’t first create a mental reality of what you want, there is simply nothing for physical reality to catch up to. Physical reality moves slower than mental reality so if you don’t have an unconflicted belief or an unconflicted image in your mind’s reality, the physical reality of what you want can never materialise.

Whatever is important for you in 2012, thinking it into existence is the critical first step. For this to happen, you must begin to think differently about yourself. If not, through the power of your subconscious success mechanism, old programs, or “automatic default feedback mechanisms”, keep running the show.

If you’re interested in learning more, I’m giving a complimentary webinar on this topic next week to people enrolled in the Ten Steps To Wealth Program.  Encourage prosperity to visit you in multiples by starting your complimentary online eCourse at www.tenstepstowealth.com Make sure you start off 2012 with new enthusiasm for both economic and personal freedom.

I’ll be sending out an email with time and date to those on the program in a couple of days, so don’t miss out simply because you’re not registered. Remember that success has more to do with the money mastery process and the Psychology of Wealth than it has to do with the mediums of wealth.

The Psychology of Wealth

January 3rd, 2012

The Psychology of Wealth understands that the people who make purposeful decisions often come to a realisation that they have been playing by rules and standards set by others. And as they come to this realisation, a few things begin to fall into place. When this happens, they use this new knowledge to launch their journeys of achievement and financial success.

The greatest thing about purposeful decisions is that, once you make them, they clarify everything. As soon as you no longer fear the consequences of your decision and you firmly commit to one direction, confusion melts away because you can now clearly see what you must do.

Dissolve upper limits

One of the realisations that people come to terms with has to do with limitations, comfort zones and feelings of stuckness. They realise that if they stay with the status quo, nothing changes because the status quo uses low standards of achievement as reference points to match their results by.  Because everybody they compare with is getting the same results, they think everything is “normal”. As economist and precious metals analyst David Morgan notes, “When everybody is thinking the same way, no one is really thinking.”

What these people never realise is that stuckness is a sign from your body telling you that you’re neglecting your need for growth and exploration. You can’t solve stuckness with more stuckness and inactivity. You can’t solve stuckness by remaining in your comfort zone because there is simply no expansion or growth there. So the only way you can resolve feelings of stuckness is to commit to a program of learning and dissolving the limits you impose on yourself. This is what people on the cusp of progress come to realise. They realise that the magic of life is outside your comfort zone and that it’s OK to feel uncomfortable because it means you’re regaining your aliveness, your passions, your energy and your fulfilling future.

Personal achievement, business success, financial freedom, or mastery of any kind, involves the development of qualities which cannot develop by themselves and usually remain undeveloped in most people. In fact it would be fair to say that, in terms of achievement, it’s fear of failure that holds most people back.

And this is a strange fear when you think about it. Fear of failure actually prevents you from moving forward. If something is constantly preventing you from moving forward, you have to start thinking about what it’s constantly making you do instead. This is a critically important point because anything you constantly do leads to perfecting whatever it is that you constantly do.

So what are you perfecting by your consistent practice at it? Are you perfecting self sabotage for example?

Fear of failure is a perfecting fear in that it prevents you from taking risks and encourages you to move back into safety, back into stuckness. But as soon as you step back into safety, you stifle your own development, strengthen your  stranglehold on sameness and deny yourself access to financial freedom.

In other words, you prevent the evolution of your own innate potential. When this happens, relative to your potential, you are going to fail, which is the very thing you’re trying to prevent. As soon as you step back from risk, you shrink your potential by stepping back into sameness. The feelings you get come from your body trying to communicate that it wants to grow, to explore, to be alive again.

Fear of failure actually creates failure, the very thing you say you want to avoid. But the paradox here is that if you directed the very same processes of consistency over time towards success, instead of the fear of failure, you’d be incredibly successful.

In a strange twist, you’re already doing the ‘work of success’, you’re just directing your efforts towards the fear of failure instead of achievement, exploration and growth.

It also creates your upper limits in finances, happiness, relationships, health, connectedness, trust, sharing, freedom and prosperity. So you and I have to work together to dissolve these upper limits because if you don’t dissolve them, sameness, or something worse, will always remain your experience.

The Psychology of Wealth, invites you to participate in a more prosperous and financially rewarding 2012. In fact, if you start the New Year off with a free online Ten Steps To Wealth eCourse at www.tenstepstowealth.com the New Year has the potential to reward you in multiples.

The “Ten Steps to Wealth” is a distillation of my journey from broke to my first million dollar year. Imagine forever BANISHING feelings of financial struggle, fears over bills and rising costs, or having to cut corners, settling for less and missing out…

By enrolling in Ten Steps To Wealth, you’ll learn:

• how to lay the foundations to your million dollar year
• how to dissolve the struggle around finances and increasing costs
• how to become the master of your own financial destiny
• how to make 2012 more financially successful
• how to succeed where others don’t
• how to create an achievement mindset
• how to understand today’s economy and what to do next
• how to think about using the Internet for income generation
• how to move from sameness to achievement and enterprise
• how to take greater action and be in control
• how to compile your list of assets for success
• how to create wealth in changing economic conditions
• how to create a wealth plan and map your way to freedom
• how to switch on your entrepreneurial mastery

Starting out from dead flat broke, my first million dollar year took three years and eight months to achieve. Imagine launching your very own million dollar year in a similar way. The only reason why you wouldn’t do this is because you don’t believe you can.

The Money Mastery Process

December 28th, 2011

The Money Mastery Process makes you aware of the self defeating behaviours and conditioned reflexes you may unconsciously be anchored to and how you might begin collapsing self imposed limits to success, prosperity and financial freedom. It’s especially important to advance your skills during times of economic contraction and to learn what you must learn in order to gain more security and confidence in the uncertain times ahead.

Through the use of classical conditioning, the famous Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov came to understand conditioned reflexes as he experimented with feeding dogs at the same time as he rang a bell. Pavlov sounded a bell as the animals began to salivate at the sight of food. After repeated parings of the bell and the food, Pavlov was able to bring forth salivation in the dogs just by ringing the bell alone.

In the same way, emotional, physical or mental conditioned reflexes form through responses to repeated stimuli that trigger certain reflex behaviours, thoughts or emotions in you.

In other words, if something triggers you often enough, over time, you’ll tend to respond to what’s triggering you in the same way. This is what is meant by an anchor, you’re now anchored to conditioned reflexes to certain triggering stimuli.

Over time, your conditioned reflexes hold you in one place, the place of sameness for example.

It’s important to understand the concept of anchoring and classical conditioning from the stand point of your future and whether or not you can break from your past. When thinking about the time, effort and energy necessary for getting out of your comfort zone and moving towards achievement, the internal reference point for most people will be an automatic mix of reflexive feelings and habits.

All habits feel normal and when you use them as reference points, anything outside what feels normal will feel abnormal. Using anything that feels normal as an internal reference point will not get you the results you’re looking for because by definition anything outside normal will go against what you’re internally anchored to.

When you have strong limits in place, self limiting behaviour feels normal and, because it feels normal, it’s difficult to change.

To enjoy more economic freedom and Money Mastery, its necessary to consider the reflexive anchors you may be conditioned to and how they might be holding you back from achieving the very things you wish for yourself.

If you’d like to make a start on dissolving your conditioned reflexes, the free online eCourse titles The Ten Steps To Wealth is a terrific place to start. Hope to see you there.

The Psychology of Wealth

December 26th, 2011

The Psychology of Wealth observes that in order to be successful; in order to create more prosperity and financial abundance for yourself, the first thing that needs to change is how you think about yourself.

Most people say that you need to change the way you think about money first, but this isn’t so.

You can think about money any way you like but, if your experience is financial underachievement at the moment, unless you start to actually see and believe in your ability for financial achievement, nothing much is going to change and sameness will be your continued experience over c0ming years, instead of  economic and personal freedom.

Success means breaking away from old reference points and designing new ones. For a period of time, while you’re learning new skills, discomfort will be your most effective feeling.  As you begin your journey, you must be able to substitute ‘normal’ with ‘strange’ and be OK with strange until these feelings actually become normal. And when they do, you’ll be on your way to achievement.

Remember, anything that is self defeating limits your ability to feel successful, to feel heard, to feel understood, to feel validated, to feel happy, to feel energised, to feel in control, to feel appreciated, to feel rewarded or to feel free.

Enjoy the rest of the year and don’t forget that progress is as possible for you as it is for anyone and if you need help, just reach out because there are many experts who can support your progress.

The Psychology of Wealth starts as soon as you begin to think differently about yourself. To help you get there a little faster, tap into The Ten Steps To Wealth at www.tenstepstowealth.com
