"The Trouble With Money"

"Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly
as you can. The sooner you get money out of the way, the
sooner you will be able to get to the rest of your problems
in style." -- Jim Rohn
When I saw this quote from Jim Rohn, I realized that he
was on to something. I think it's true that as long as we
have money issues we never get around to addressing
the other problems in our life. We fall into the error of
thinking that we need to get "enough" money (whatever
that means) before we can handle the other stuff
Why does money consume our attention for so much of
our life? It's because we haven't mastered it; money has
mastered us!
The sad part is that we operate under the illusion that
more money will solve the problem. What we don't
realize is that if you can't manage a little, you can't
manage a lot! No matter how much you get, it flows
through your fingers like water until you change your
relationship with it.
Most of us create more than enough income to become
financially free if we managed what we earned properly.
I believe that almost anyone could be financially free by
age 50 or earlier if they had a plan to do that when they
entered the work force.
The secret is to develop a system to manage money,
and then FOLLOW IT. Simple, but not easy. It's not
easy because it requires us to develop new habits, to
exercise discipline, to practice self-restraint. Ugly!
The secrets have been available to all of us for a long
time. I like the system described in the classic book,
"The Richest Man in Babylon." In it, a simple plan of
paying yourself first, living within your means, investing
your savings and continuously improving your skills is
presented. Anyone who follows that process will
master money.
Harv Eker has systematized it even further, with a
specific money management system that covers all
expenditures, coupled with a plan to build passive
income and create financial freedom. It's simple, it's
effective and you can start right now at any income level.
So why don't we all do something like this? Part of the
reason is that we weren't taught to manage money, and
no one modeled it for us. The other reason is that it's
just a lot more fun to spend it all! Eventually, of course,
the party's over.
But you can always start now. If mastering money is
something you need to do, start now. Study "The
Richest Man in Babylon" and then get Harv Eker's
"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind." Start your system of
managing money. Simplify your life.
Harv puts it this way, "If you do now what other people
won't do, eventually you will be able to do what they
can't do!" That's what financial freedom means.

Article #2 - Mind Matters - "Money Programming"
What really governs our relationship with money?
Not logic, not understanding, nothing rational. Our
relationship with money is emotional, and it's run
by our subconscious mind.
Our money programming comes from our family
and from the world around us. We learn as little
kids that money is scarce - "We can't afford it."
Rich people are "greedy and snotty." We're
told that we "have to work hard for our money"
because "money doesn't grow on trees."
Most people go to their graves never learning that
none of those old sayings have to be true. So be
aware that when you set out to master money, you
may have some deep pockets of resistance in
your mind to reprogram.
If you've been reading this newsletter for very long
you know that we live in an affluent, abundant
universe. There's no shortage of ideas, opportunities,
resources or money for anyone. But your old
mental programming might not agree - at first.
So be persistent. You CAN master money.
Some of the affirmative statements that you may
want to install in your mind to replace the old stuff
might sound like:
"I'm an excellent manager of my money"
"Money flows easily to me from multiple sources
in increasing quantities"
"I provide great value to the world and I am lavishly
rewarded for it"
"Money is easy to manage and I love doing it"
"The Universe is abundant and there is always enough"
"Money is a wonderful tool for good"
Burn these ideas into your mind and watch your
relationship with money change. Take charge
and master money. You'll be very glad you did.
