[Better later than never.. Comment on the Skool app some of your personal takeaways for the rest of group to share. Or check out the improved Wealth Artistry Youtube channel too!] Is a firmly held belief or view of a certain way of life. When you pull the mental weeds out by the roots it clears the mind for growth. Left to our own devices, we often default to being prisoners of our own environmental habits. Typically we inherit the financial and emotional convictions of those closest to us. e.g., the family, friends, & fellow coworkers. So it is of good fortune to choose the best beliefs that continually empower your health & wealth. Have you ever come across a person who ignorantly would rather be right than rich? I know countless people who are opinionated, ego-driven, or even narrow-minded. Granted many in their older years in the latter seasons of the wealth cycle, are set in their ways. You should know that your opinions can develop your convictions into self-limiting beliefs that ultimately prohibit personal growth, professional development, & wealth creation. If your intention is truly to accumulate wealth and accomplish what you desire most, effort is vital; however, that only goes so far. You can only work so hard and there are only so many hours in the day. Glean the wisdom to keep an open mind to new or different ways of doing things and the curious possibilities. I've adopted these beliefs: hard work is essential, being in tune with intangible forces, and having a closed mind brings unnecessary difficulty. For those into studying the scriptures, the word is, "According to your faith shall it be done unto you". Beware of seeking quickly gained riches or favor with little work or personal sacrifice. Beware of wishful thinking of unearned rewards. 💡 Remember easy come, is also easy go. Sand-bagging your efforts is usually a fool's bargain. While the keys to wealth are: daily mental exercises, well tended duties, concentrated desires, cultivated faith in your goals, and upholding your sacred part of an eternal equation. The day-to-day person will never become wealthy solely due to the given convictions that hold them back. The reason is that the idea of "too much work" or "too much money" is misguided. Respectfully, the idea that universal intelligence or intangible results are delusions is also misguided. The reality is they don't want to work too hard, are unwilling to sacrifice, or be inconvenienced in exchange for what they want most. Of course false indignation comes off better than accepting the bare truth of the matter. They are too addicted to a comfortable life or the dysfunctional environment they grew up in. The best-suited point of view ought to be that present-day sacrifices are well-worth future rewards. Know that money possessed by good people translates to peace of mind, lifestyle satisfaction, family protection, financial assurance, and self mastery.
