Expose Your Money Buttons

By: Zoe Routh

Most of the time people are not even conscious of their money buttons. The following questions will expose where your money buttons are.

What is my relationship like with money?

For example, do I think, 'money is my friend', 'money hangs out with me', 'money loves me', 'money slips through my fingers', 'money causes me stress', etc.

What are my feelings like around money?

For example, worry, fear, joy, excitement, etc.

What are my beliefs around money?

For example, money does not grown on trees, money is the root of all evil, rich people are selfish, money flows to me in abundance, etc.

What is my earliest money memory?

This is your earliest memory of the importance, role, or impact of money. Typically the memory had a strong emotional charge to it.

What did I learn about money from my family?

What kind of attitudes do my family have to money, what did they teach me (overtly or inadvertently) about money?

How does saving money make me feel?

How does spending money make me feel?

When it comes to money I should ....

How do I respond when I see images of enormous houses, a BMW or other luxury car, big diamond rings, overseas travel destinations - things that typically have a high monetary value?

What kinds of conversations do I have around money with my friends and family?

What kinds of attitudes do my closest friends have about money and wealth?

How do I explain why some people have so much money and others have so little?

Do I resonate with the following statements?
I deserve to be wealthy
I am ok with being wealthy
I enjoy my wealth
I am wildly wealthy and enjoy whatever I want
There is more than enough for everyone.
I feel good about money and my relationship with it.

What do I want from my relationship with money?

What do I not want from my relationship with money?

What would I do with $20 million?

What would change for me if I had $20 million?

If you felt uncomfortable answering any of these questions, chances are you have exposed a money button. The money button reveals old emotional patterns that were likely burned in to your psyche throughout your younger years. As a result, you would have repeated the same patterns, no matter how uncomfortable or negative, because this is what you learned at a subconscious level to be true about money. The patterns get repeated and worn in to your regular thoughts and feelings just like a path gets worn in grass through repeated use.

As an adult you can recognise that you are not getting the results you want with regards to wealth, money, and abundance and are now ready to defuse these buttons and install a more comfortable and positive money button - one that triggers feelings of excitement, energy, enthusiasm, gratitude, and pleasure.

How do you install new money buttons?

HAPPINESS - PEOPLE SAY THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPINESS BUT...

By: Jackson Tan

Most of the time, we always try to distinct money and happiness or simply say that money can’t buy you happiness. I do not agree totally to this statement but there some truth in it.

It is a weird thought to think that when you are rich, you cannot be happy or vice versa. Look at Bill Gates or Donald Trump, do you think they are very unhappy with the money they have? They have both the money and happiness. They worked hard for both items.

To me, both happiness and money is as important. If you still ask me which is more important, I will ask you which hand of yours is more precious? Left hand or right hand? Get what I mean? You cannot directly compare the both but they are indirectly link to each other as well.

Having a wealthy life with financial freedom might not gain you happiness but looking at your situation, you are already more fortunate than many others who are pursing their freedom. In this world, there are many things that need to be pay by money, your dream house, car and grand wedding, they all need money. Is it reasonable for me to say that, in this case, when you have the money, you will be able to fulfill the above dreams and you are most likely to be happy.

I guess money still can buy some happiness to a certain extend. Some may argue that this kind of happiness is short term and when your dreams/goals are fulfilled; your expectations increase and become unhappy again till your new expectations are met. I mean this is unavoidable as humans are creatures that sought after improvements after improvements. If not, there would not be internet and you can’t be reading this now.

So having some money is still an advantage to have in the pursuit of happiness. But, in the end is always best to have both happiness and wealth.

THE SECRET TO EARNING MONEY

By: Mene Asije

Imagine you found a magic lamp and discovered that the Genie inside not only gave you 3 wishes but gave you a lifetime of wishes. What would you wish for?

More money?

Most of us have grown up to believe that we have to work hard for our money, or that wanting more money is a sin, its wrong! The truth is money allows us to experience many wonderful things in life which without it is impossible. By that I don’t mean our lives our meaningless without it because that would be untrue. What I am saying is that money brings with it more opportunities for us to create different experiences that without it we do miss out on. Life is supposed to be abundant for us all not just for a select few and we are now living in an age where the real knowledge about earning money is out there for us to grasp onto, awaken the urges within us all and open the lid on the box so to speak.

It is easy to earn money and every person who enjoys the abundance of wealth has known how easy it is for a long time. There was a small percentage of people who have by applying the methods I will reveal to you shortly, created wonderful experiences in their lives simply because they knew how to. There is even scientific evidence in favour of what I’m going to talk about. Regardless of whether you believe it or not this works; whether you focus on it or not this works, and it is quite difficult to dismiss as the results you get can be miraculous, quick and phenomenal once you start to focus on it with unwavering strength.

What I am referring to is ‘Prosperity Consciousness’. Prosperity Consciousness links nicely into and is an aspect of The Law of Attraction. If you are unfamiliar with this law, briefly put this is a universal law like the law of gravity in which it states like attracts like. Simply put the law of attraction says whatever you think about most you will attract into your life. Bob Proctor an expert on the law of attraction for over 45 years believes “Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life…it’s what you’re thinking. Everything that goes on in your mind you are attracting to you.” There’s a lot more to it than the brief explanation above but I will explain it to you in more detail focussing just on Prosperity Consciousness to show you how you can attract more money into your life.

First of all you need to understand what money is? Most of us see money as the paper we fold up and put in to our pockets or as numbers on a computer screen. That is not money. That’s its representation it is not money. This representation is just a piece or pieces of paper with ink on it or numbers on a computer screen. Money is much more than that. Money is an idea a concept. With it we have many more experiences and it allows us to grow spiritually and intellectually. Without it we experience lack and difficult experiences.

We are all so use to trading our services in exchange for money, the more valuable our service, the more money we receive. We have limited our beliefs by thinking we have to work hard for our money which is not true. Money is an idea which you give energy to and attract to you from the thoughts you think in your head as well as how you feel and your beliefs about money. Now if this is the first time you are hearing this then you many think I’m talking nonsense. Believe me I’m not. Let me explain.

If you want more money in your life, first of all you must change how you view money. For example, if you have these kinds of beliefs, ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’, or ‘You have to work hard for your money’, or ‘Money doesn’t come easily’, these are negative thought patterns and will not attract money into your life. In fact it will do the complete opposite. This thought pattern will hold you back and create a negative reality for you. If you are the type of person who is always complaining about not having enough money then the law of attraction gives you what you think about most which is not having enough money. You need to think the kind of thoughts that attract prosperity to you. Thoughts like “I have more than enough”, or “I am a magnet to money”. We are what we think and being Prosperity Consciousness is the key to increasing your wealth.

Being Prosperity Conscious is not difficult. Begin by changing your beliefs about money. Think thoughts of abundance and wealth. If you are serious bout increasing your wealth, your predominant thoughts should be of wealth. Scientists now know and can prove that our thoughts carry frequencies, just like a radio signal carries frequencies. If we are constantly thinking the same thoughts over and over again, these thoughts will manifest into our realities and we will attract more of what we are thinking about. Just think about it for a second. Everything you have achieved in your life so far started with a thought or an idea you had. You then followed that thought or idea through by acting on it until you created in your life that which you once thought about. The same is true of wealth. If you want more money in you life you have to think positively about it and the law of attraction will give you more of what it is your thinking about.

You also have to feel good about money to attract more to you. Start by thinking, feeling and believing, “I have more than enough money”, or “There is an abundance of money it’s on its way to me”, or “I am a money magnet”, or “I love money and money loves me”. I can guarantee you that everyone who has successfully gathered wealth in their lives thinks good thoughts about money and never focuses on the lack of it. Remember, there is enough of it to go around there is unlimited amounts of wealth available to each and every one of us. It’s never going to run out. How can it it’s an idea which starts in our minds?

Hand in hand with thinking positive thoughts about wealth and abundance is visualisations. Visualisations are a powerful way to put the thoughts in your mind into images. It’s a way of meditating on what you want by creating the life you want in your mind by way of pictures. Did you know that visualisations are so powerful that when you visualise your desires in your mind your brain can’t tell the difference between whether you have experienced it in real life or not? Let me give you an example. As an experiment an athlete was wired up to a computer to test the power of visualisations. He was asked to run his race in his mind as if he was doing it for real on the running track. The results where astounding. It showed that his brain responded in the same way when he was running the race in his mind as when he was running the race for real. It did not know the difference. That’s how powerful the brain is. Don’t underestimate it. We are only just beginning to realize our potential and yet we still have a long way to go to understanding it fully.

To bring all of what I have said together I need to explain one more thing. In order to start the ball rolling and a must for attracting anything into you life is gratitude. Be grateful for what you already have. Everyday be grateful for all the good things you have in your life. This will attract more of what you’re grateful for to you. Remember like attracts like. If you think negative thoughts that is what you will attract more of into your life. If you think positive thoughts that is what you will attract more of into your life. The choice is yours but life is meant to be abundant for us all and is no longer just for the select few who understood the law of attraction long before the secret was revealed. Be happy and joyful for who you are and what you have experienced so far in your life. It will be difficult to attract wealth into your life without these ground rules. Our thoughts create things, go ahead and make your wishes come true and be grateful every step of the way.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on what this means to you.

IT TAKES MONEY TO MAKE MONEY?

By: Robert Serina

The idea that it takes money to make money is a false one. This is a common knowledge idea (which are usually wrong).

When you are in the situation of living within a tight expense budget and you do not know anything about any "business model", it certainly does seem like it takes money to make money. It also seems like there is a lot of risk involved (and given the circumstances, I would agree).


This whole idea leads most people to believe that investing is risky. In reality, the more knowledge and experience you have, the less risk that is involved and the less money that is usually required.

This is true no matter what business model you choose to pursue. It is all the learning and preparation that take place before an investment that determine the profitability of the investment.

Your level of financial education not only determines how successful your business investments will be but, It is directly related to the quality of people you employee and the businesses you partner with.

Most people have not invested their time into learning about there finances so that is why most people feel it takes money to take money. This belief can lead many people to confuse investing with gambling. Much like gambling when you are relying on "luck" to determine the outcome there is a large amount of risk involved.

Investing is only risky when the person making the investment has no knowledge or experience handling that type of investment. Than the investment may require lots of money and risk.

The less knowledge and experience a person has, the less control they have over the possible outcomes. The less control they have over the outcome, the less certain they are of the outcome. Whenever you invest your money into a situation where you are not certain of the outcome, you are not really investing, you are gambling.

It is important you do not confuse gambling with investing.

TOP 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE

By: Alvin Phang

There are many resources you will need as you go along the way to try to make money online. However there are many things and problems you will encounter along the way. Here are the sure 5 things you will need to succeed to really make money online faster!

1. A Very Strong Mindset to Focus

It is really VERY IMPORTANT to always stay focus on your objectives to succeed online. Never try to do too many things but at the end of the day you are actually a master of nothing. The reason I was some what successful in my marketing was because I was really focus on only one thing and that was blogging.

There will be many times while going along the journey in trying to make money online, you will face lots of distractions that will make you not focus! The point is that if you really stay focus on only one objective you will surely see some results!

2. Willing to Outsource and Spend Cash

When I first started my online business, I was very afraid to spent money on Internet tools and outsourcing my stuff and the weird thing was I am willing to pay to learn but strangely I was not willing to pay people to do stuff for me. I also realized this in many others whom I have coach and train before, they too will not be willing to spend a single cent on web site creation but would rather spend it on learning.

The trick about this is that once I started my first outsourcing about a few months, I realized my production rate actually increases by almost 400%! However of course there will times you would loose money, but it’s normal because you will get it right always the first time. It takes risk and time to actually find the right people to outsource your stuff.

3. Willing to be Open Minded to Others

One strong point about how I marketing online is that I always have an open mind to Joint Venture with others. It really does not matter how popular you are but who you know and what you do that matters! As I have time and time again found many interesting Joint Ventures whom are no really popular or making lots of money online but do have really very good assets. And the assets are actually not attainable because the assets that I am talking are the connections they have to bigger players in the market that is truly priceless! If you are interested to send me a joint venture just visit my blog.

4. Always Think of Win-Win Solutions

Never ever try to make money online with a Win - Lose mindset, trust me you will never make any money. One thing I realized many do online is that they are pretty selfish when it comes to marketing and never really respect others. Everybody who ever worked with me before would know I always respect my partners and I will never do any joint venture if it’s a win - lose deal.

You maybe thinking what I say sounds very simple, but through various emails I got with Joint Ventures almost out of 10 emails I received about 7 of them are actually win - lose deals... They would always email me about how great they are and how much they can earn but strangely nothing was mention about what I get.

The best way to draft a good joint venture is always ask yourself what is it in it for him!

5. Think Big! Never Think Small

When I was doing my business for the passed 4 years, I had this major problem. I always cannot seem to think big and expand my business. After years of failing and trying different things I noticed in order for you to really make lots of money online and I really mean A LOT! Here’s secret tip I have for you, surround yourself with at least 10 people who are currently having the income you are actually trying to achieve.

For example let’s say my own goal is to be a millionaire by 30 years old, what I did was all my top 10 closest friends are either already millionaires or are already somewhere there in the marketplace where I would want to be. Studies and surveys have shown that person’s average income is always determined by the people that you surrounded with.

Here’s some proof that this theory really works, imagine yourself wanting to earn $10,000 per month but the friends you hang out with are only earning $2,000 or less per month. Because most likely your friends who are working in those range would most likely only discuss these topic pretty often:

- Pay my bills
- Plan to study and upgrade with a degree
- Buy small investments to increase savings
- Go out movies during free time
- Sit down at Starbucks or Coffee Bean for a chat
- Looking for better jobs

Almost 90% of people do this very often! Where as when you hang out with people who are making like $10,000 or more per month, this is what I found out that they always talk about:

- Discuss about the next big venture or projects.
- Talk about big investments to invest to get great returns fast
- Open business ventures
- Go to networking events to find new leads
- Getting ideas to solve business problems
- Setting up the business

See the difference? I hope you get the picture, because what I wrote is truly real experience and just because I only did a really simple thing which was I just changed the circle of friends I had. Within just 1 year, I realized my wealth and valued actually increases. So I hope you find this useful and do apply it for yourself to experience it. It did work for me really well!

LOVING MONEY ATTRACTS MORE OF IT INTO YOUR LIFE

By: Enoch Tan

To be in vibrational resonance with money, you have to love it. If you fear money or do not love it, you will repel it away from you. By thinking thoughts such as you should not love money or feel desire for it, you are causing vibrational dissonance between your subconscious mind and money. By loving money and being comfortable around it like it is your good friend, you free yourself to have money and have it more abundantly.

We have been taught that the love of money is the root of all evil. Therefore we think that it is wrong to love money. But that is one of the biggest errors the world has ever made about understanding money. The truth is, the love of money is not evil. It is only the root of evil. The love of anything can be the root of evil. People have done all kinds of evil for love. Love is not evil. It is when people love with ignorance that results in evil. Loving with awareness only results in good.

When you love money, it can be the root of all good or all evil. Remember that all truth are half truths. The glass can be half empty or half full. One perspective is only half the truth. When you can see things one way as well as the opposite, you have full perspective and total truth. When you love money, that love is the root that can grow into that which is good or evil. Loving money with awareness leads to all good whereas loving money with ignorance leads to all evil.

Observe of the way you behave around money. Notice your thoughts and feelings when you are dealing with it. Do you try to handle it discreetly as though you are almost ashamed of it? Do you find it awkward when you talk about any subject that involves money? Do you try to think as little about it as possible as you quickly pass it to the person you are buying something from, or taking it and putting it away hurriedly as if the longer it stays in sight, the more unacceptable it feels?

All of such behaviors and attitudes shows how you really are towards money. You have an unconscious dislike towards money. You may have all the conscious thoughts about how good it is to have money and believing that you are wealthy, but if you are acting like this towards money, you are creating resistance which prevents money from flowing freely to you. This awareness will open your eyes to your relationship with money and free you from unwittingly repelling it.

Wealth is a state of being. Having wealth begins with being wealth. When you are wealth, you are one with everything that is wealth. To be one with something is to love it, accept it, embrace it and be completely comfortable with it. Money being a form of energy that facilitates enjoyment and providence is a form of wealth. Therefore to be wealth is to be one with money and to love it, accept it, embrace it and be completely comfortable with it. Money moves to the one who loves it the most!

Take out some bills from your wallet and hold it in your hands. Look at it and just be with it. Say to yourself that you love money and money loves you. Feel good about it and feel the love for it. Do the same with your credit cards, your jewelries, your checks, your back account statement, and things that represent money. See all these things not as separated from you, but they are all extensions of your being. The more you love money and are at one with it, the more you attract it into your life.

Treat money with respect and appreciation. When you pass money to someone, do not just chuck it in their hands as if it were a bunch of papers. Hand it over to them as though you were presenting a sword with both hands to a worthy knight. When you receive money, do not take it as though you were grabbing a bunch of dirt and putting it away as if you are trying to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Take your money with appreciation and handle it comfortably as though it is your favorite pen.

Anytime you see money come into your life such as when you see commissions from sales or gifts from people, love it, welcome it and feel that it loves coming to you. Have the attitude that people love to give money for what you have to offer, and share it willingly and happily with you. Anytime you spend money to get what you desire, do it happily and willingly. Whenever you give money to loved ones or charity, handle your money comfortably and give it as though you are giving your love.

Loving money unites you with it. Fearing money separates you from it. We have an unconscious fear for something when we keep distancing ourselves from it and see it as separate from us. We have an unconscious love for something when we keep being near or around it and see it as a part of us. Allow yourself to identify with money and see your money as you. But when money goes away from you, do not think of yourself as any lesser because to love perfectly is to love freely without attachment.

Love material things in the material world as well. Love your house, your car, your toys, your clothes, your looks, your body and all your material possessions. Feel good about them and see them as all extensions of yourself. Be unashamed to show your money or your material possessions to others. In heaven everyone shows off the beauties of their creation to one another proudly and joyfully. Material things and spiritual things are the same because they are all energy of the source which is God.

People who see themselves as good but see money as evil repel money away from them. People who see themselves as evil but see money as meant for good people, repel money. People who see themselves as good and see money as good attract money to themselves. People who see themselves as evil and see money as evil also attract money to themselves. It is all about being in vibrational resonance by seeing you and money are of the same kind which draws it to you.

CHANGE YOUR MINDSET ABOUT MONEY

By:
Mark Morrison

The first step to attracting money and wealth is to change your mindset about how you feel about money. Many of us have uncomfortable feeling about money. They include beliefs that money is the root of all evil, people who have money swindled it out of people who don’t have it or they acquired immorally or illegally.

People may feel uncomfortable or uneasy when money is brought up or if someone makes a comment to them. For example, someone may make a comment to you such as “you must be rich” just because they make an observation of where you live or what car you drive, where you vacation or what you have in your home, and you may just brush it off or say “oh it wasn’t a lot of money” or “I wish I was rich.”

There is nothing wrong or shameful for being wealthy or having nice things. The problem lies in the person who makes that statement. Everyone has a right to be wealthy. There is nothing wrong in being poor either but there is something wrong in STAYING poor.

People also see money in scarcity as opposed to abundance. People think that if you make money you are taking it away from someone else. This is a false premise. There is an abundance of money in the world and money is always circulating. Money is constantly being made. I say that there is no ownership in money; everyone is a facilitator of it.

I see some people who use money as a way of survival instead rather than a symbol of energy. People who view money as a way of survival have a harder time attracting money. Using money for survival stems again from the scarcity mentality. It should be used as a way to express your true self.

Abundance will never be a factor of how much money one has rather it should be about how one feels about the money one does have.

MONEY IS IN LOVE WITH KNOWLEDGE!

By:
Mike Marino, Jr.

Now you are starting to remember why you were sent here and how you can serve people in your unique way.

What can I do? Fall in love with learning how you can serve humanity, and money will chase you all the days of your life! How may I serve humanity with humility?

Fall in love with money and it will run from you. If you are fast enough to catch up with money, you will need knowledge to hold on to your money!

The opposite of love is use. Hate is when you give someone free rent in your mind! Never love money.

Money is in love with knowledge. Knowledge is the root of all good. If you need money, chase knowledge. Money will chase you all the days of your life.

You do not stop learning because you are older; you get old because you stop learning. There are old people that are young and young people that are old.

Lies are the root of all evil. To love money is a lie. Money will never love you back. Spend money wisely! Use money to earn more money, while you are sleeping.

The banks will lend it out for education, health care, housing, food, and clothing. Your money will be used to create jobs for everyone. When money finds out that you are in love with learning. Money will start chasing you all the days of your life. Money is only 10% of affluence. Affluence is the flow of good! Words are only 10% of communication. Action speaks much louder than words.

MONEY IS IN THE MIND

By:
CD Mohatta

Some of us make huge money. Some make a real big amount. It is as if they have a magic formula. Look at the list of the richest people. Most of the names are repeated year after year. At the same time there are some who are born with great intelligence and manage to only earn their living. They never manage to make big money. Why? What is the secret that makes some people attract money?

What is money attraction?

Is there something like money attraction? We find some people with great charisma. They attract people towards them. Is there something similar with money? Do some people have magnetic pull over money? Yes. It is there. The people who attract money believe that - they deserve to earn big money. They also believe that there is enough money in the world. They are of the opinion that everybody should become rich. They know how to save money and spend it judiciously. They know that they have the intelligence to make huge money. They know how to make business plans that work and they have faith in their plans. You cannot easily change their mind.

On the other hand, a much larger population believes that big money is for others. These people some how come to a conclusion that big money is not in their fate. These people do not believe that they have the intelligence that is superior and they may lose money if they invest in some venture. Somehow this large majority believes in all the factors that drive money away.

Money is in thinking. Money is in confidence. Money is in self-belief and money is in the mind. Believe it and you will earn it.
