Are you working hard to make a living? Is financial freedom one of your goals? Are you suffering from low self esteem? Does it take hard work to make money?
What is the most important thing that determines whether you succeed financially or not ? I believe that the answer to that question is to do with your beliefs. Your limiting beliefs restrict and hold you back. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself.
1. Do you believe that money is hard to come by?
2. Do you believe that it takes hard work to make money?
3. Do you believe that you can earn enough money?
4. Do you believe that rich people are dishonest?
5. Do you believe that being prosperous is normal?
6. Do you believe that there’s never enough money?
7. Do you believe that just one really good idea could make you rich?
8. Do you believe that you need to save for a rainy day?
9. Do you believe that some people know how to make money and others don’t?
10. Do you believe that money is out there separate from you?
Whether you answered yes or no to all of them or a mixture, how do you know if they are true for you?
The first way is if you believed what you were told by your parents, teachers and society about finances when you were a child. So if you were told time and again that money is easy to come by, then you took that as a belief. On the other hand if you were consistently told that it takes hard work to make money then you would take that belief instead. Beliefs are made up from your past experiences.
The most powerful way that you continue to create a belief is what you tell yourself - the internal chatter. Most of the time people are not aware of this mind chatter and here is where the reprograming has to take place.
Your reality is created by your thoughts and what you believe, because they are the basic elements of all creation. Your deepest beliefs drive you to take action or prevent you from doing so. Your thoughts and beliefs determine what you experience.
So the first step is to determine what beliefs need to be changed that aren’t serving you, as these beliefs are producing the life that you now have.
Some people may think that it takes a long time to change a belief. Think of the many things that you were told as a child that you don’t believe now. It didn’t take long to change those beliefs did it? When you become aware of your limiting beliefs you can change them to work for you instead of against you.
How to Create a New Belief.
1. Start by writing down your new belief/s
2. Create a new story. A new belief is just a new story. Tell your new story with your words, observations, and expectations.
3. Look for evidences every day to support your new beliefs. Keep a journal on your evidences. Celebrate all the times when things work out well for you even if they are small.
4. Find a personal mentor. You can be mentored also by reading books and articles, listening to audios, watching videos on changing beliefs, wealth, health and abundance.
5. Work with a coach.
6. Appreciate what you already have.

Financial Independence -5 Essential Keys You Need,To Have This Mind Set

Would you like to have financial freedom in your life, but instead you find that life is a continual struggle to make ends meet, leaving you tired, depressed, and stressed out?
In 2005 after being married for 23 1/2 years my late husband and I seperated. I felt like the bottom had fallen out of my life. Not only did I have to deal with all the emotional issues of being separated, but I had to learn how to build my business and become financially free using internet marketing which was completely out of my comfort zone.
Feeling overwhelmed, all alone, and discouraged, I knew that I had to change my mindset of thinking the old way which would only bring me the same results.
Realising that creating anything is an inside game my first step was to change the internal environment if I was to see my external world change. My outer world was a direct reflection of what was going on internally. If I did the internal changes, abundance and prosperity, wealth and happiness would almost seem effortless.
I took baby steps every day to change my beliefs and bit by bit shifts started to take place and then whoosh! It felt like Niagara Falls was bringing me a flood of astounding results.
Here are 5 insightful essential keys that you can use to transform your life to create financial freedom, as it did mine.
1. Beliefs. Take a look at your conditioned beliefs and patterns that you hold about money. This will bring to the surface your awareness of what is causing the blocks to your financial freedom.
2. The Don’t Wants. Make a list of all the things that you don’t want in the area of wealth and happiness, abundance and prosperity. When you know what you don’t want you will become very clear about what you want.
3. The Wants. Now make a list of all the things that you do want in those same areas of wealth and happiness, abundance and prosperity. Just look at your don’t want list which is the opposite of what you do want. The attention you give to the thoughts of what you want and of what you can have will produce good feelings and attract them to you.
Your intention is the WHY you want your desires, so ask yourself why you want them. What do you want to experience? Freedom, peace of mind, excitement and fun?
4. Managing Your Energy. Recognize and shift the emotions and feelings that are not serving you. This is how you raise your vibrational frequency which raises your energy field and powerfully influences what you are attracting to yourselves. You are then able to see the possibilities and the solutions more easily.
5. Your Relationship With Money. You have an energetic relationship around everything - yourself, people, and your business. You have a relationship with money whether you realize what it is or not. What is your current relationship with money? List all the feelings and qualities that you want to experience just like you would want it to be if money were a person.
When you can acknowledge and align with this energy, you can make the necessary shifts to attract and allow abundance and prosperity into your life.
Bonus Tip: I wonder what would happen if you worked on just one key and made a slight shift and then each additional shift was like taking a million baby steps to get you to your dream and your goal.
