Would you like to get some help with those money problems? Well, watch this
video and learn what steps to take next.
People don't talk about money, they really don't. They talk about... The only
thing to talk about is they wish that they had more of it or they complain
that they don't have enough. But they don't really talk about how they earn
their money and the thought process, the emotional management and their behavior.
They don't talk about it. I mean, how many times do you go over to Sunday family
dinner and everybody is sharing how they're earning their money? It just
doesn't happen. 8 out of 10 people struggle with
money in the United States. That's just the United States. Ain't that... Now,
realistically, it's probably 9. But you're probably not going to believe that.
But like let's just say between 8 and 9. But but literally, 89% of
people are struggling with money and I'll tell you why, is because we don't
talk about it and we don't discuss the ways in which a person can earn
money. The only way that we talk about is go get a job. "Hey, go get a job. Oh, you
want more money? Go get a job." And we act like that's the only answer, the perfect
answer. And that every else is supposed to know what that means to go get a job.
What if it's not a job issue? What if it has to do with the way that you think
about money? What if it has to do with the way you feel about money? What if it
has to do with literally your behavior towards money? I think those are really
the root problems. It's not the job situation. But this is not a conversation
that people have. They still struggle with it. So, what do people do
with money? Well, what you do is you usually do what your parents did. Or if
you're not doing what your parents did, you're doing what you think you should
do or act or feel about money. Which is probably a very elementary level
education when it comes to money. So, you got money problems? It makes sense. You're
not alone either. There's 10 people standing in a room. You're one of the
9 people out of the 10 that's struggling. There's a whole tribe of
people struggling with this. So, let's talk about what you can do to switch
this and change this, so your money challenges can literally start to
changed today. Not tomorrow, next week. Let's do something right now.
Now, notice right here. I brought up really where the problems are is in
thinking. How you feel about money and literally how you behave about money. Now,
here's what I notice is a person who does not think positively about money,
doesn't have money. So, if you, if you don't have positive thinking in your
head like, "You know, I'm going to find a way to earn money, provide a service and
and do something good for people so I can get paid." If you're not thinking that
way and you're thinking, "Oh, I just hate money. Money is my problem." You're going to
have a lot of challenges. Most people are very emotionally piled up in a bunch of
garbage emotions towards money because of past experiences, because of current
situations that they don't have enough. But this is where you start, it's got to
start where money is on your mind in a positive way. That you're going to learn
literally how to do better with money. Now, let's let's look at that. I don't
want to just pretend like you know what that looks like. But seriously, one of the
first things you want to do is get into studying money. Oh, look the wind is
coming up. Maybe I'm not done with this page, right? Watch this, I'm going to make it
stick. Let's see if that holds it. Okay. So, what happens here is if you want
to be good at something, you study it. You know if somebody wants to be a dentist,
you go to dentistry school. Is that how you say that? You want to be a doctor, you go
study how to be a doctor. You want to be an architect, you go to architect school.
If you want to be a landscaper, if you want to be an interior designer, you take
classes on that particular topic. And so, you get thinking about it. Your emotions
are good about it, your behavior about it because you're studying, you're acting it
out. You're practicing it. So, if you want to be good at money, you got to study it.
Does that just make sense? And this is... I ask people, you know who are struggling
with money? I go, so what book are you currently reading about
money? "Oh, I don't have books I read about money." Okay, what class are you taking
about money? "I don't have a class about money?" Who are you learning from about
money? "Well, I don't have a person." So, it's really fascinating but I was in the
same place, too. I wasn't studying about it, I wasn't
reading, I wasn't listening to people, I wasn't going to classes about it. And now,
I was in that place of struggling about money. So, I get it. But let's stop the
madness. And really, you got to dive into this. So, what does this look like? Get a
book, get somebody to fall... Wait, I think that's one of my next one. Get a coach.
What? And who's the coach? What kind of person do you choose to coach on money?
Somebody who has money. I know it... I'm giggling about this but I've met
people who are struggling with money and I say, "Are you are you working with
somebody on this?" And they go, "Yeah." I said, "Do they have money?" "No, they're kind of
wrestling with the two." Well who are these people?
"Oh, it's my parents." So, you're asking your parents to teach you about money but
they don't have money? Well, how? Wait a second. You find
somebody who has money. You find somebody who's successful. And you either pay them
to coach you or you know find a way to trade services for them to teach you.
But you got to study this. Literally go get a book about money.
You go get on Amazon, go get something, get on somewhere and get a book. Go
downtown to a store that sells books. Get books on money and start reading about
money. It's got to be a topic not an issue. Turn money into a topic, turn it
into a career, turn it into a job, turn it into a talent, turn it into a skill. Just
like learning how to, you know, be a dentist. Learn how to manage money and
have money. If you turn it into a topic, a job, a skill an ability, you're going to get
good at it. That's the reason why people struggle. It's reason why you are
struggling with money is because your education on
money is low. So, this is all head. This is all your head is the, you know, the
education site. But also know, when it comes to this about money,
you also got feelings about money, right? And I'll share with you the best way you
can work through emotions about money is to start journaling about how you feel
about money. You got to get all those emotions out. Easy, easy way to manage
emotions about money is to journal about money. Okay, so you're going to get a book or
go to a class. "But Kirk, I don't have money to go to that." Okay, just get
books. Get a book. Get it on audio, get it some thing to read. But get reading books. If you
if you're not reading a book at least once a month about money,
you are not improving your money experience. You are going to continue to
struggle if you don't raise your education. What books did you read? Any
book about money. Get money on your brain. It doesn't turn you into a bad person. It
turns you into a smart person. I don't know where it started but for some
reason, people in this world think and they think, "Well, if I think about
money, I'm a bad person." No, if you think about money, you can pay your bills. You
can pay your bills, you're not going to be in debt and you can help other people.
You can help build stuff when you have money. Get money on the brain. And
that you can do today right now. Get yourself a book. Get reading, so you have
it on your mind and you can start to learn how money works. And go find somebody. You
don't have to always pay somebody to do that. Okay, the other thing got to learn
about money is how you're spending it and how you're earning it. Are you
tracking your money? Are you tracking it? Or do you avoid looking at the bank
account? If you're not tracking whatever you're doing, if you're not tracking, you
have no clue how to improve it. No clue. People who don't track their money, they
just impulse buy all the time. Impulse buy, impulse buy. But tracking your
money gives you the power to delay that impulse moment. And even gives you the
power to say "no." Because you know where
you balance is. You know what's coming in, you
know what goes out. You know what your spending habits are. And it gives you the
power to delay and gives you the power say "no." But if you're not tracking, you
don't know anything. And so, you're always going to say "yes" and "I guess so" and "Maybe,
we can make this up later." And you're going to struggle with money because
you're not tracking it. And you don't have the power to delay and you don't
have the power to say no. You got to track it. So, get a book find somebody to follow. I
bet you could find somebody who's a money guru. I'm not going to be your money
guru. Right now, what I'm doing is I'm helping you just like realize, you got to
do something about this right now. So, book somebody to follow who's talking
about money all the time and he was really good at this and that they
literally have all the steps and everything. And I got steps about how I
changed my money stuff. And you can find my other YouTube videos about this. But
there's lots of people you can learn from on this. And then get the power
inside you to delay the purchase or say no to the purchase. But you won't have
that power until you get into tracking your money. And if you're like, "Oh, but
it's such a mess, it's so hard." Okay, don't do it and you'll stay in your problems.
Okay, next one is. Another reason why people have money problems is because
they can't enjoy what they have right now. Whatever you have, whatever house,
whatever car, whatever clothes, whatever you got going on your life right now. If
you can't enjoy what you have right now, you're always thinking about what you're
going to buy next. You're getting pleasure out of purchasing things. You're not
getting pleasure from experiencing things. And that's something you got to
switch. You got to switch that like going wait a second, I got to slow down and
enjoy exactly what I have. Be happy with what you got. So, you're not always into
getting a zing out of purchasing something. Because you, the over purchaser
kind of person, you get this big zing out of buy-in something. And it's not about
the pleasure of having the thing or enjoying the experience. You just like, "Oh,
I want to go buy something. I just want open the next package. I just want to get
the next new thing." And I watch people get themselves into money problems every
week. Because they just want the zing from the purchase. Instead of enjoying
what they currently have. It's like, I have a cell phone, right? And I can't tell
you how many people are like, "Oh, you don't have the new cell phone?" It's like,
my phone works. I push the button, it works. And my apps work. My screen size is
totally fine. And I hear people who will say to me they'll go, "But you got to get
the next phone." I'm like, "I don't need to spend $1,000.
I've just been $500." And they've gone through 3 or 4 new phones
and I still have my same phone. And it still works. And they've spent hundreds
even up to the thousands of dollars on a new phone. And it's like, you could have
used that money for something else. And they still have the same buttons to push,
maybe their screen is a little bit bigger but I don't know. It's like, come
on. Go on, be careful people. Some people get really hooked in on the zing of the
purchase. The new thing. Because it's fun and exciting. And that is a trick that
will cause you to be in money problems for the rest of your life, is you can't
have joy... If you can't have joy in experiencing the here and now,
you're going to stay in debt. Because buying is a false sense of joy. The "new
thing" is a false sense of joy. It's a false sense of joy. And if you're
constantly thinking the next new thing, the next new thing is going to bring joy to
you, you are going to be broke. Because you cannot buy happiness. Happiness is
enjoying the moment with whatever you got, And you'd be able to enjoy it. Be
able to enjoy it. The last one here, be able to help you with getting out of
your money problems here is literally you need to learn a new skill. How you to
expect to be able to earn more money or have an advancement in the company you
work for or get hired into that next job? Or maybe you want to be an entrepreneur,
maybe you want to like start your own business. You got to get into the whole
new market like, you got to add some skills to you. Presentation skills is a
must for life today. Presentation skills. Getting up in front of people. Talking to
people. But presentation skills, coaching or
mentoring skills, any type of specific industry skill but go get a new skill.
And I've been seeing billboards lately on the freeway that show that, "Hey, you
want earn more money? Get a new skill." Makes sense, doesn't it? If the skill you
had been using is not in demand anymore, you need to go learn some new skills. And
hey, here's something to think about for the future. Our skill level has to change.
We've got to adapt to what's going on in the world today. And so, go learn some new
skills and stop having a pity party that you don't have enough money. Money does
not come to people who have pity parties. Get a book get it in your head. Journal
about how you feel about emotions. So you can unload those emotions about money.
Get somebody to follow. Seriously, get the power so you can delay and say
no because you're tracking your money. Enjoy what you have. Get yourself a new
skill. So, that your money problems can stop today. But of all of these, of all of
these that you can do right now in the next 24 hours. Get a book and get your
head thinking that there is a chance to change your money problems. If you can't
think it and it's not in your head, it's not going to change. That's the big one
right there. Study about money. Hey, money problems are only a step away from being
solved. Remember, it take some action on what you learned here. And another action to take,
