Tips To Improve Your Wealth Attitude

One of my most favorite magazines of all time has been brought back to life! Success Magazine is back. I read it throughout the 90s but then it seemed to disappear. I was re-reading their premier issue, April/May 2008, and there's a great article on your wealth mindset. The article is titled, "What's in Your Head Determines What's in Your Wallet." If you've read any of my blogs before, you know that this article would really resonate with me. I do a lot of training and teaching on self talk and how that determines your direction in life. But more than that, I continue to be a student of it as well.

Here are a couple of quotes from the article:

• "Your Net Worth Will Equal Your Self-worth" - If you're like me, this quote has ticked you off. After all I have a pretty good self image so how come I'm not wealthy? We'll explore that in another post.
• "Worry is one of the most costly attitudes in pushing money away from you" - Now this one I can relate to. When things aren't going my way financially, I tend to worry about where the money's going to come from. What I'm learning is that that's the exact attitude which is keeping money from flowing to me.  If I constantly say, "I can't afford it. I don't have the money. I'm not wasting money I don't have," I'm focusing on lack. And what I focus on is what I get. So when I focus on lack, I get lack. In trying to help by not spending money unnecessarily, I'm focusing on the very thing that's going to keep money out of my life. To get abundance, I have to focus on abundance.

Here are 5 Tips to Improve Your Wealth Attitude from the article:

1. Write down all that you are grateful for in your life right now - read it every day.
2. Make a decision that you will be wealthy. Affirm that decision every day by taking action in that direction.
3. Surround Yourself with the people who are where you want to be financially.
4. Read and listen (sound familiar?) to material that will support your new outlook and attitude about what's possible.
5. Teach others the attitudes of wealth. Once you teach it, you will learn it.

I believe in you and I know you can do it!
