Change our mindset transform our financial reality sure. That sounds easy enough
But what if we're feeling stuck what if we don't have time to transform our reality because we're too busy making ends meet
Not to worry
It becomes easy to shift our paradigm if we can clearly see where we're at in this moment
And today that's exactly what we're going to do
We all have different stories you have your own set of unique experiences
Beliefs and ways of looking at the world, but that said once you know your wealth archetype
It becomes very easy to focus in on what information will be the most useful to you
the six wealth archetypes are
the caged lion the chained
magician the hustling treasure hunter the innocent prisoner the cast away and the unfulfilled king or queen as
We go through these feel into which one resonates most with you
Starting from the top picture that you are a caged lion the king of the jungle
Wild fierce born to hunt but one day you were captured by hunters and put in a cage you say to yourself
I'm gonna get out of here and then you'll see how dangerous I am
But over time you grow tired and soon you are thrown a piece of meat
You try to resist because you are the king of the jungle, but you need to survive and so you eat it
Day after day month after month you slowly become accustomed to eating the meat. You're given you're not starving
But you're never truly satisfied
You get trapped in this routine, and there's a voice screaming inside of you
Frustrated angry and impatient and then the doubt creeps in I've been stuck in this cage for so long
Do I still have what it takes to hunt? What if I can't survive on my own?
The caged lion is the frustrated nine-to-five employee
These are the people who know they can provide for themselves and they can be successful in life
But that life has been sacrificed for the predictable routine, even though it makes them miserable inside
but what if I told you the key to unlocking the cage is dangling right in front of you and
Sometimes the lion tamer leaves the door unlocked because he believes you don't have the guts to step through it
Well, let's move on to the next archetype for now, but we shall return
The second archetype is the chained magician
Imagine you are a powerful magician you have powers
Most people can only dream of you are filled with creativity energy and imagination
Boundless energy that allows you think fast learn fast and act quickly
However, the village elders around you have prohibited you from using your powers so that other people in the village who cannot use magic
Won't feel threatened
Your powers are unique and different and the go against conventional wisdom
Even though you can bring great change for your village the elders warned that staying with tradition is safer than trying something new
The chained magician represents all of the Millennials and new generation of talent who feel suffocated and pressured by their parents and
Society people who have heard their whole lives play it safe
Nobody in our family has ever done that before
You can't make a living doing that get a degree get a good job get married and buy a house
That's the life for you and so on
Remember going on your own path instead of what others have told. You doesn't mean you don't love them
You might feel alone and misunderstood but as you go out into the world and pave your own trail
You discover that there are far more magicians like you out in the world
You can take off the chains anytime because the only one who can stop a magician is themselves
Next we have the hustling treasure hunter who loves to go on adventures and find the next biggest chest of gold
They love the thrill of the chase the allure of the new opportunity going after the shiny objects in the sand
but
It seems like finding treasure maps are far more exciting than the actual search for the treasure chest itself
When they find a new map, they exclaim you wait
Once I find the treasure I'll be set for life and you'll be sorry that you missed out
however, as they follow the map they realize it requires them to chart rough seas and uncompromising landscapes and
So they quit they say wow
There's no treasure the map lied, but don't worry the next treasure map
The right one for me is out there and I'll succeed on my quest
These are people with lottery mentality believing that external forces are what determines success
They jump into the latest money-making schemes like Bitcoin network marketing drop shipping day trading and so on
They announce they found the opportunity of a lifetime
But when it doesn't work out at first, they're quick to jump to their plan B their Plan C and their plan D
if we recall Think and Grow Rich, however
We all face temporary setbacks and we must be willing to persist through them to gain our wealth
the hustling treasure hunter can achieve such great wealth as long as they can follow their map to the end with passion commitment and
love
The fourth archetype is the innocent prisoner
Imagine you were jailed for a crime you didn't commit
How would you feel if you had followed all of the rules played by the books did everything right and still ended up a prisoner?
These are the people who did well in school got good grades. Listen to their parents maybe even earned a scholarship
Perhaps they became doctors lawyers accountants engineers
But deep down they aren't fulfilled
They appear successful on the outside but inside they're stressed burned out and empty
Some even take antidepressants to aid their low humming anxiety
They say I did everything I was supposed to do so, why do I feel lost and empty inside what did I do wrong?
The biggest struggle here is that they don't think they can stop living this way because it would be irresponsible
And so they bottle it up and the feelings get worse
The mistake of the innocent prisoner is believing that conventional wisdom was the key to happiness
Instead of listening to their own hearts calling
The fifth archetype is the castaway
Imagine you're in a plane crash in the middle of the ocean the only survivor who washes up on shore
You realize you are truly alone. And you must fend for yourself. You build yourself a shelter
You hunt your own food you even make a fire, but every day. It's a hustle. You can't preserve food
So you're always on the hunt always just surviving and this routine becomes your life for years
The castaway is the struggling solo entrepreneur. You are starting your own business, but you feel alone
Every day is a struggle hunting for food and water to survive
You're always on the lookout for new clients or fulfilling the jobs of others if you get paid you can afford to eat
When you find your first client, it's like starting a fire for the first time you want to celebrate
But you have nobody to celebrate with
The Castaway has to do everything in their company and they're never quite making it to the point when they can rest
Because if they stop working, they will not survive
The mistake of the Castaway is living life as a lone wolf while they have what most consider freedom
they are lonely and they have no long-term sense of future certainty and
Finally we have the unfulfilled king or queen
This was the person who conquered many obstacles and are finally sitting on the throne. It wasn't easy
You've worked hard for years or decades to get to this position and you have everything you've ever wanted
Fortune lifestyle and status, but for some reason your happiness is fleeting
Instead of joy other things fill your mind what if other kingdoms attack or try to take you over?
so you build up your army or fortify your defenses and you feel
Satisfaction for just a moment and then another fear sets in and you itch for the next achievement
This archetype is the overachiever. The one who is always at the top of their class worked hard succeeded in life pushed to get ahead
Perhaps it's a talented CEO an executive senior partner or other high up position but deep down
They're afraid that their peers will outperform them and strip them of their title that they've worked so hard for
But from this place of motivation achievement does not lead to happiness
It's a trap they have to achieve more and achieve more and inside. They're still unfulfilled
The mistake of the unfulfilled king or queen is the one who finds it hard to be satisfied unless they outdid
Everyone else as a wise person once said you can't win the race of fulfillment running on the track of achievement
Now this brings us to the end of our wealth archetypes
