subject: How Can You Get More Money [print this page] Few of you will be a little amazed to see me backing-up an interest in money - Buddhists do not do money, right?
But some of you would really like more money, and are thinking why you still haven't got as a large amount as you'd like. This one's for you, because you deserve the best too!
It is often said that success is 20% talent and 80% the state of mind, and in spite of that if you see how people deal with the goal of getting more money, you'll figure out that the majority of them will dedicate plenty of energy and dollars to learning about a skill set, but do practically nothing to get the state of mind of a winner.
To say it bluntly, if you believe $5000 on a share trading program and some (gradually free) motivational talks on the state of mind is the perfect balance, think again. Or be prepared to join the 80% of people - most of them trained in the skill set - who lose money on shares.
The same applies when it involves several other means to enhance your wealth: business, career, multi-level marketing (where the success rate is 3%, evidently), poker even!
And, for best or worse, to several more other areas of your life.
So how can you get that mindset? Well, primary step is to understand the concoction of conflicting beliefs, emotional states, and behaviours that makes up who you are. For majority of the people, there are numerous internal blocks to getting money, and these are often totally unconscious. You may have been taught the best system to make money, but the person operating that system is not a robot, it is a person - you! - with human idiosyncrasies, contradictions and blind spots, usually more than sufficient to sabotage the best systems available.
A motivational speaker whose message is You can have it all. You really will be able to. Take a look at me. I have it all. All you require is to have faith on that! is having next to no impact on your unconscious programming. He is merely scraping the surface, and actually that is his work - to scrape the surface hard enough to awaken you to the truth that you have more alternatives than you realised, so that you are prepared to take the next step.
So are you keen on taking the next measures towards a life with more money in it? Yes? So you will be needing to choose a skillset that will get you there, whether its qualifications for a better job, training in the way to set up and run a rewarding business, learning about a share-trading system, or whatever you require for your preferred path.
But even more significantly, ask yourself the (perhaps upsetting) question: do you possess the frame of mind of a winner? Because wanting something is not sufficient. Finding out the skills is not enough. For many of you, it will even be required to take on new beliefs, habits and attitudes.
The good news? These are even things that you could learn!
