Make the Decision to be Prosperous

When I was a kid growing up, money was a taboo topic.

Growing up in a little town in Louisiana, money was taboo. We never talked about it. No one ever showed me big rolls of cash. If someone had success, they discussed it behind closed doors.

Looking back, I realize my parents were constantly worried about money. It took my dad ten years to work his way up into the middle class. My dad died from a massive heart attack when I was 10 years old. I believe that worrying about “making it” is what eventually killed him.

After he died, my mom didn’t know how to get income. She had no income-generating skills. She didn’t know where the money would come from. She clipped coupons. She bought things only when they were on sale. She pinched every penny. We had a little bit of money… but it was “scared money.”

We didn’t have prosperity.

What is Prosperity?

Prosperity is having more than enough of everything that is vital to your survival. It’s not dependent on one thing. It’s not just money, a car, a house, a job, or a relationship. It’s having more than enough of everything that you want and need. It’s abundance and affluence.

Notice that prosperity does not include worry. You can’t worry your way to prosperity.

A lot of people are worried right now. People are worried about the economy, inflation, and the banks. People are worried about their job, their mortgage, and their bills.?

And probably for good reason. 64% of all Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

You might be one of them. I know what it’s like. When I was 25, I was broke. I hated my job. And I had no money.?

But I’m living proof that it doesn’t have to stay that way...

I want to show you exactly what I did to turn my life around and start creating prosperity in my life. No one told me the things that I want to share with you today.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Change Your Mind

If you want prosperity in your life, you have to start seeing it.?

I look for prosperity everywhere I go.?

You might be seeing scarcity instead of abundance. Growing up, you were told to eat all your food and to save your money. You were told to be happy with what you have because you’re better off than people in other countries. Beliefs like these come from a scarcity mindset. You need to flip that and develop a prosperity mindset.

Start seeing prosperity in everything.

Reinforce that the world is abundant. Look at the other cars when you’re driving. Lexus, Mercedes, Tesla. Look at all of the money and abundance around you. Fill your eyes up with prosperity. Be open to seeing how much money exists in the world.

Who’s an abundant thinker in your life? Most of us are surrounded by people with limited thinking because they are frequently worried. Worse, they have been told their whole life that scarcity is their reality.

But you can change all of that with the next step….?

2. Make a Decision to be Prosperous

You have to decide that prosperity is for you. There are 8 billion people on the planet. Someone out there will become prosperous. The question is, will it be you??

When you decide to become prosperous, reinforce that decision daily. Say to yourself, “I am going to create wealth in my life.”

When you say, “I don’t need money,” what are you actually saying? You’re telling yourself that there’s not enough to go around. You are saying to yourself that you can’t get what you need.?

Understand this…?

You need money to create prosperity in your life. Maybe you don’t need it right now, but your family will need it. You’re selfish if you don’t commit to getting more of it.

What decisions are you making?

Here’s one decision you can change today. It’s how you think about time and money.?

Broke people will sell their time to get money. Wealthy people will spend their money to get more time. Look at how the wealthy think about time and money. You need to flip the equation. Play the game that they play.?

When you change the way you think about money, you will change the way you talk about money.

And that leads into our next step…

3. Change How You Talk About Money

How do you talk about money??

Are you negative or positive about it??

Here are some things poor people say about money:

• “I don’t need money”
• “I don’t care about money”
• “Money doesn’t grow on trees”
• “Money is evil”
• “Money changes people”

How you talk about money will tell how you think about it. Listen to what you say, then change it.

I would never say money by itself is evil. Money is only a piece of paper. $100 is just a paper note. How can it be inherently evil? $100 is like a sticky note. But what if I said sticky notes are evil? That sounds ridiculous, right??

Imagine I gave you one million sticky notes right now. Would that change you as a person? No, of course not.

What conversation are you having about money with your friends or family? I wasn’t allowed to talk about money when I was growing up. So I had to change that. I had to change what I was saying to myself before I could have any kind of financial prosperity.

How can you expect to get the very things that you need in life if you’re hating on them? If you’re telling yourself, “I don’t have money,” or “I never have money” it’s going to limit your ability to get it.

What’s going on in your mind? You probably have a bunch of false beliefs in your head about money.

How you think about money is how you talk about it. What you say determines what you do.?

Think it—Say it—Do it.

This change in how I think and talk about money allowed me to do the things I needed to do to go from broke to billions.

But we can’t stop there…

I’m always searching for new ways to take your business, income, and life to the next level.?

And let me tell you, what I found is B-I-G .

This is something that will change every industry and business on the planet.

You need to know what is coming so you can be prepared.

I’m revealing it all at a special, live event.

Because you are reading this right now, I’m inviting you to attend a free game-changing event as my special guest.?

Don’t put this off. This is important. If you miss this, you could miss what you need to know to lift your business and your life to a higher level.?
