7 Simple Ways to Change Your Mindset About Money from Lack to Abundance

There are simple but profound changes you can make regarding your thoughts on money. You won’t change your entire perspective on money overnight, but with persistence you can change your money thoughts to be your friends. Try some of these new thoughts on and see what shifts for you. It’s worth it!   

#1 Understand there is plenty for everyone including YOU.

Begin to realize that your having money does not cause someone else to be in poverty. Adding to your bank account does not take money away from my bank account. There is plenty of money moving around--even now in this *terrible* economic downturn. Look around you. People are still buying. People are still selling. One of my favorite mottos is “There is plenty of business out there. You just have to be ready for it.” Yes, it’s a Sharon original.

#2  Let go of any guilt you hold around money.

Most people don’t have money because they feel guilty if they were to get any money. Guilt repels money. Many people think if they have money they’ll be alienated from their family or friends so they push it away by spending it wastefully and frivolously.

#3  Watch what you say about mo*ney.

I know in my own life I had to make a conscious decision to STOP saying things like these or statements similar:

“I don’t have any money.”
“Why is it so hard to make money?”
“Why does everyone get ahead but me?”
“It’s not fair that THEY (whoever THEY are!) have all the money and I don’t”
“I owe, I owe, it’s off to work I go.”
“Why am I so broke?”

Guess What?  You say these things and what happens? All the negative stuff comes true. It’s inevitable.  Just think what would happen if you changed all the sentences into positives. What would happen then?  

#4  Change your expectations about money and success

I began taking one of my mentor’s advice, Brian Tracy, who teaches me to start each day saying things like “I know something GREAT is going to happen to me today--I can’t wait to see what it is.”

And by Golly, it works! Try it and see for yourself.

If you say this sentence and REALLY MEAN it deep inside and get really excited about what good will come your way in business that day, you will be amazed at what will happen. I promise you this!

#5  Watch who you spend time with

I changed friends who I hung out with. I cut down on hanging out with any family members who were/are chronically negative. I decided all that does is bring me down and I don’t want to be brought down.

I now hang out with positive, uplifting friends and colleagues around the globe who share the same positive beliefs about money I do and what a blessing this has been in my life.  I advise you to evaluate everyone in your life who is keeping you back from full positivity and potential in your life. Sometimes this is a SPOUSE or PARTNER unfortunately.

#6  Write your Top 5 Goals down by memory every day no matter what

You’ve heard me say it before. It’s worth noting again and taking action on it. Take time to write your Top 5 Goals down every day in your spiral notebook by memory no matter what.  

#7 Tithe 10% of your earnings to your Church or spiritual place of Worship

Please don’t throw out my entire newsletter because of what I’m suggesting regarding tithing. I have found tithing to be a phenomenal way that God takes care of me and my family by being faithful in our tithe to our Church.

God made this principle/Law true for the world whether someone is a Christian or not. You will see non Christians who are very generous in their giving to fantastically needy causes. This is a universal principle. Test it and see what happens in your life.

I’VE LEARNED ON A VERY PERS0NAL LEVEL OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS THAT YOU CANNOT EVER OUTGIVE GOD. He always makes the 90% you have left go so much more than if you had the full 100% yourself. It’s a miracle I can’t explain, but I continually experience it everyday.

I want the same blessing for you, too! This is why I get very passionate about the subject! Of course all of these mindsets are up to you to try as you feel led and feel comfortable with. I just encourage you to be open to these things and try them and see how God will pour massive blessings upon you that you won’t be able to take it all in! Ask me about the verse if you really want to know where I’m speaking from.
