The Money Mind

Many of the world’s leading figures in coaching and personal development have drawn similar conclusions about the key steps to financial success. They have observed and modelled millionaires and billionaires. And they have used this knowledge to train and inspire people from all walks of life to achieve greater wealth.The coaching I offer my clients is based on this knowledge.


Beliefs about yourself and money

One of the biggest barriers to financial success can be holding limiting beliefs about yourself, about your capabilities or even about your worth. You may already be aware of these beliefs and perhaps you would like some help overcoming them, or maybe the beliefs have been there so long that you are barely conscious of them. It is as if they operate as presuppositions at an unconscious level undermining your efforts to make more money.

Having a coach, even for a brief time, can really help you tackle your beliefs in a constructive way. So you can uncover what it is that has been holding you back and so you can replace them with useful beliefs. Many coaches now offer that kind of practical support.


Is this just affirmations

This isn’t just about saying a few affirmations, this is about designing the right kind of beliefs for you, supporting those beliefs with compelling evidence and then making the beliefs feel strong and sustainable. So you feel motivated to express these beliefs with real conviction, because you have made them absolutely true for yourself. You make them so true that you can easily imagine the consequences of these beliefs as you design your future and work towards it naturally and comfortably. I sometimes call them "felt beliefs", because you don't just think them you actually feel they are true too.


Hypnotising yourself

When you use coaching and NLP for this kind of work you effectively become your own hypnotist, because you design your own hypnotic programming. You will have designed the new hypnotic suggestions yourself based on your own unique values, so it is easy for your unconscious mind to adopt these suggestions, especially as you will be reinforcing them with your imagination. And this feels good too because your unconscious and conscious mind will be working in harmony, moving in the same direction towards predetermined goals, predetermined by you.


When you become your own hypnotist you create powerful effects on your own mind, probably a hundred times more powerful than the world’s greatest hypnotherapist could ever achieve.


Motivating yourself

When you have performed this kind of transformation at the level of beliefs it is then much easier to give some attention to your motivation. There are some terrific techniques in NLP for you to install powerful motivation strategies, so you get a boost of energy and willpower at those key times and places or during those important tasks.


Having a useful attitude

Through coaching you can also learn some useful attitudes towards money. It will be your choice whether you adopt them or not. They are based on the attitudes observed in many successful wealth creators, so we know they work.


Some of the attitudes offer you a major shift which can generate changes very quickly and surprisingly easily, and without undermining any of your important values.


Other attitude changes can be more subtle and yet they still have a powerful effect when adopted and sustained, for example have you considered the difference between “loving money” and “acquiring money”. Successful wealth creators are familiar with this distinction. They are very comfortable acquiring large amounts of money without any need to love or worship the stuff.


Making the connections between money and everything else

As you adopt useful beliefs, motivation and attitudes and generate greater financial success and freedom, you will naturally want to develop greater flexibility in your behaviour and habits.


Any kind of financial success is produced from some kind of creativity. You might want to explore your unique skills and abilities to make sure you are using them to good effect. Wealth can naturally flow from creative and productive activity, especially when you are flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances and as you recognise the variety of ways you can meet other people’s needs and desires with your unique skills. Any good coaching programme will offer you tips and techniques to maximise your creativity and ability to generate wealth for yourself by offering something useful to the world.

These are just a few ideas to stimulate your mind and imagination. There are many excellent books and websites about this subject, so it is worth doing some research or you are keen to make these changes for yourself. You could start with Paul McKenna's book "I Can Make You Rich"
