Having some money problems? Hey, check
this out. No need to have problems
anymore. Follow these simple steps and
make a big change in your life.
Hey, check it out. We're talking about
money. Why? Because there are so many
struggles about it. Like what is
your experience with money? Or is it a
challenge? Is it a problem? Is it a
difficulty? Is it a easy thing to come by?
Does it flow to you in large amounts?
You know, why do different people have
different experiences with money? And
there's all kinds of talk. I mean, how
many, how many gurus can you listen to
about money, right? There's so many, so
many comments about money. But let's get
right down to what really matters here.
It's about your psychology and money. In
psychology is like, "What's going on in
your thoughts and your actions, your
behavior and your interaction with money."
Like, "What's going on here with this?" All
I can do is tell you my story. My story
goes like this, years and years and years
ago, I hated money. And I could tell you
all the big long story. But I had my
reasons to hate money. And do you know
what happens when you hate money? You
push money away. Now, I didn't go from
hate to love. You know, I don't chase
money, I don't love money more than my
wife or than my higher power. It's not
like, you know, I hate-love-hate
relationship. But it can be a better
experience than what it is right now for
you. Maybe you haven't conditioned your
mind. You see one of the things that's
missing in life is teaching our mind
about money. And when we don't teach our
mind about money,
we got nothing up here. We don't need... We
kind of scraped by, scrounged by and do
whatever we can to get money but we're
not really in a good place with money. So,
let me just get down to what this
is all about. That I had to change my
thoughts about money. You can always go
get a job, you can always have one job, two
jobs, three jobs. I think one time when
when Kim and I were first married, I had
three jobs and she had three jobs. And
between the two of us newly married, we
had six jobs. And that is just ridiculous.
I mean, seriously. So, over the course of
my struggles, I figured it out that
I got to learn about money and what's
going on. And really, the biggest
difference happened was when I got
inside here. What are my thoughts about
money.
Now, I'm going to just share with
you my point of view. It's really simple.
And it's so simple, anybody can do it. But
it's really simple on how to upgrade
your thinking about money. So, money isn't
a problem, it's a great experience. And
when it's a great experience, it's a lot
easier to live. So, check it out. First
thing I had to consider about money is
this is a 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and a
$1,000 bill. And so, this is what I call
my money friends. And notice they're in
paper form. It's not just plastic and
these dollars, you know, these
dollars here on this board, what I did is
I had to look at this and go, "Okay, hold
on. Maybe I need to learn how to like or
connect with money better." So, I started
out with the one dollar bill. You know,
really considering, "Hey is it okay if I
have a one dollar bill? Is it okay?" And
the answer came back. "Yeah, it's okay, you
can have $1 bill." So, I check
that off. I'm okay with $1 bills.
What about a $2 bill? Yeah,
they're awesome. Kind of unique. You know,
a different kind of creature. A $2
bill. Then a 5. Is it okay if
I'm going with a 5? Yeah, it's okay if
I have a $5 bill. What if I have
a 10? Yeah. That's awesome. What if I have
20? Yeah, it's awesome. Then I got two a
50. For some reason, it just felt weird
to have a $50 bill. Now, if... You
probably think I'm weird about this
but I'm just being straight with you. I
really had a weird feeling about having
a $50 bill. $100 bill?
Aghh.
That just felt really weird. But I wanted
$100 bill. But it didn't feel
okay. It didn't feel right. Now, you may be
thinking the same thing like, "Oh, I want
50's and 100's and 500's and
1000's. Like you want it but there's a
difference between want and actually
feeling okay with it. Like you're totally
neutral with it. Like, "Oh, a $500 bill
came my way. I couldn't totally accept $100
bill and I could manage it." I actually had a glitch in me about a
50 and
a $100 bill. Like I couldn't even get
past this point. So, I had to start
journaling about what I think money is.
And what does money do to people. Because
I grew up watching people who didn't
have money and then they got money and
then they went weird, right? Like, "Oh, money
makes people weird." Money changes
people's personalities. Money, you know,
makes people greedy and not share. I mean,
I had this whole big story about money
inside my head. But I had to get inside
my head and figure out what's all these
weird twisted stories about money? So, if
you heard so far, I'm giving you a really
big suggestion. If you're having money
challenges, you have money challenges in
your head before you have money
challenges with work. So, it's in your
head and what's in your head is stories.
And definitions and descriptions and
experiences and you got a whole bunch of
twisted stuff inside your head. And if
you don't get in there and start trying
to find where your glitches are and
where people taught you weird twisted
things about money or your perception bout
money, your money stuff's not going to
change. It's not going to improve. So, I found
I had a glitch about right here. And I
would like it if I had $50 bills showing
up every day or you know $100 bills
showing up every day of my life. That'd
be cool. But it wasn't going to happen until I
got in here and I found my reasons why.
So, journaling. Journal about money and
find out what it is that's inside your
head that's having a glitch with money.
So, as soon as I found my glitch, you know,
I grew up in a home where we really
didn't have much money. And what what
that interpreted was, I don't get to get
the things I want. You know? I want things
but I can't have it. So, I grew up with
the mentality of I-can't-have-that. I've
always wanted to have $50 bills in
my pocket but I can't have that. I saw
somebody when I was a kid, I saw
something open up their wallet made $50
bills. I thought they robbed the bank.
Where did they get that? How'd they do
that?
So, I grew up, "I can't have that." So, that
belief system kept me from ever wanting
you know, be able to get these
types of dollars. Well, somewhere along
this line, either in the 100's, 500's
1000's,
10,000's or 100,000's.
Somewhere in this line right here, you
have a glitch. And in that glitch is a
past experience. And until you start
journaling about money, about your
thoughts and feelings about money, you're
not going to know what your glitch is. So,
you got to start journaling. It really is...
You're kind of... Your being your own
psychologist here. You're just being your
own psychologist going, "Tell me the story
about money. What are your thoughts about
money? Is it okay to have some? What do
you think of rich people? What do you
think of poor people? If you had $100,000
what would you do with it?" These are all
great things to journal about. To
discover what is happening inside your
head about money. So, what we've been
talking about is literally your thoughts
about money and your language about
money. Because a person who says, "Oh, I
would never want to, you know, do things
for money." They're not going to have money.
You know? So, when it comes to money, it's
our thoughts,
it's our language and it's our actions.
And this determines what kind of
experiences you have with this. Each one
of these have to upgrade. You have to
upgrade your thinking about money, you
have to upgrade your
talking about money. And you have to
upgrade your actions. Like how you treat
it, how you interact with it, how often do
you check your accounts? How often do you
touch money, take care of money? This one
right here, I was sitting at a table one
time and there's these 5 good old boys
sitting at the table. And this one
good old boy spoke up and he says, "Yeah,
we got a new neighbor who moved in." And
the other good old boy says, "You really,
what's the like?" "Well, they pulled up with
a fancy truck. I think I got a rich
person who moved in next door." Then the
other four good old boys, they chimed in
and goes, "Ohh, all those rich people! They're so
honoring and inconsiderate and oh good luck
with that neighbor." I mean, they didn't met
the guy. But because the guy had money,
they totally created this whole story
that this person is bad. And then shortly
after that conversation, so funny. Shortly after
that conversation, the one guy said to
the other guy, "Hey, did you ever get your
trailer fixed?" And he goes no, "I don't
have enough money."
That's like he's slamming somebody just
tear
apart because they have money. Then he turns
around and says he doesn't have money.
And I wanted to stand up at that table
and just point at him and go, "See! It's
your own twist to thinking you have
that's literally clamps you down." So,
really, Journal. You have to journal about
your thoughts and feelings about money
to figure out where your messed up at.
You got the journal, you got a journal.
Okay, next thing.
Next thing. Education. How are you
supposed to get better with money unless
you're reading a book? Going to a seminar,
learning from a guru. You have to study
money to get better at money. You expect
your kids to get A's in math and English
and what other classes these days PE
and all these things. You expect your
kids to get A's in their subjects but
you're failing in the subject of money.
Come on, come on. If you have money
problems, you're struggling in the topic
of money. Life is a university and one of
the subjects you're taking right now is
called money. And if you're failing at it,
it's because you're not studying it. And
you're not watching what your actions
are about it. Make sure they're all
positive. Your language is not good about
it. And your thoughts are not good about
it. That's what you're feeling. Are you
getting an F in the category and class
of money? Come on.
Got to get studying. So, raise your
education. There's lots of people out
there to teach you about money. Okay,
this one right here, man, we're good at
givingm aren't we? We're so good at giving.
But we struggle in receiving. We struggle
receiving. And money coming towards you
is a receiving process. That's the next
thing to journal about, too is "What do I
write down?" You know, "What am I looking
for?" It's like, "Why? Are you okay letting
people help you? Is it okay to have
people be part of your team? Is it okay
to go serve people and have exchanges
with them?" So, here are some things to
consider about money. I wish I had, you
know, like, three more hours to teach you
like, all the fine-tuning and precise
things about this. But I can say this,
money problems is only a money problem
as long as you leave it exactly where
it's at. But if you decide to get
involved with journaling, I'm telling you,
journaling is beautiful. About money your
thoughts, your language, your actions
about how really, how is your education
about money. When's the last time you got
education about money? And then check in
with... Are you willing to give and receive?
Now, I know this is a lot to think about.
But seriously, you can. You
seriously can check these boxes. You can
check these boxes and keep going. You can
keep going with your experiences money.
Meaning, that this can show up in your
life. But money is a subject of life and
what is your grade in this class? If
you're not doing so well, it's time to
journal. Get inside your head. Find that...
Find the glitch and change the story you
have about money and watch your money
experiences change. It's really pretty
simple. If you loved what you've learned
