The Real Reason Why Some People Always Struggle With Money, While It Comes So Easily To Others... (Can you see it?)

I recently received an e-mail from Mick Dillard's mailing list that I found valuable and worth sharing.

One of the hardest parts about sharing your business knowledge with aspiring entrepreneurs is that most people will simply never make it. I'd say 80-90% of people who come into the online business space, will never make money.

They've bought all of the courses, and have gone to all of the seminars for years, and yet they're still at square one.

So why does that happen?

Well, there are two primary reasons...

The first reason is the most important, and also the most challenging because it's invisible.

And as you can imagine, it's hard to change something you can't see and that you're unaware of.

I'm referring to the subconscious programs that run our lives.

When we're young, specifically through the ages of 2-12, our brains are massive sponges.

As a child, your brain was observing everything you saw, touched, tasted, heard, and smelled because it needed to figure out how the world works as fast as possible in order to ensure you survive.

Arguably the most powerful information it paid attention to was the feedback and information it observed from your family members and friends. Your brain needed to figure out the dynamics of your tribe... Of who was safe, and who wasn't... Of what kind of behaviors were encouraged, and which weren't... Of what kind of beliefs were rewarded, and which were rejected.

It needed to figure out the social dynamics it was now a part of, and most importantly, dependent upon.

Why?

Because doing, saying, or believing anything that went against the tribe meant you might be expelled, and expulsion meant certain death before the rise of modern society.

So if you were born and raised in a family or in a social group (friends, extended family, school, church, etc), that viewed wealthy people as evil, greedy, or selfish... Or the pursuit of money as the same...

Then you internalized that message to one degree or another...

And the cues your brain picked up on could have been extremely subtle...

Maybe one day a family member casually made a disparaging remark about a wealthy person or celebrity in the media...

Or maybe there was a comment dropped about their "rich boss" that was delivered with a slight tone of resentment...

Or maybe you observed that you were the poorest family in the neighborhood, and you felt shame because of that.

Comments you would consciously dismiss today were observed and absorbed as a matter of life and death when you were young.

Over time, all of that information turned into beliefs and the subconscious programs that your brain uses to this very day, to filter everything it experiences in your life in order to make sense of it.

For example...

Money is literally nothing more than dirty pieces of paper.

It's an inanimate object.

And yet each of our brains has given money a significant amount of meaning, but what it means is unique to you based on the programs you adopted when you were young.

For some people, money means joy, safety, security, fun, and freedom.

For other people, money means fear, shame, guilt, and insecurity.

If you grew up around people who believed money had power over them... Who believed that money was the cause of all of their problems... And who believed that they were somehow victims of money...

Then guess what?

Your brain observed and adopted those beliefs.

And now that you're an adult, and that you consciously want to make more money, you're fighting an invisible enemy you don't even know you're up against.

You're fighting lines of internal code and programming that will silently override your conscious desires because your subconscious programs have dominance. They are the default.

So if you've been trying to make more money for years...

If you've been trying to build a business...

If you've been buying all the courses and books...

But you still haven't made any progress, there are invisible chains holding your back...

Your brain ALWAYS does what it thinks is best for your safety and survival, and if it believes that making money will threaten either of those, then it will not allow you to make money.

If you do happen to make it, (such as by winning the lottery), then it will sabotage you and cause you to get rid of it in order to get back to the state it believes is most safe.

This is why you can hand 100 different people $1 million, and the exact same book on investing, and all 100 people are going to make different decisions, and end up with different results because there are 100 unique programs being run.

So if this describes you, I want you to know that it's literally not your fault. (And I never say that).

If you've struggled with financial prosperity your entire life, it is NOT your fault because you can't fault someone for something they are completely unaware of.

Your brain was simply doing what it believed was in your best interest.

Now the good news, is that you can become aware of your subconscious programming, and you can CHANGE IT.

You can literally go back to those specific moments when those beliefs were created, and you can re-write the meaning you give them.

And once you do, your money challenges will simply disappear.

The old code will no longer exist, and any previous resistance that you've ever encountered when it comes to business or money will just melt away.

The same dynamic is taking place for people who have life-long battles with their weight.

Weight loss feels like a battle because there are literally two parts of you that are in an actual conflict... Your conscious desires today, and your subconscious programs from your past.

Somedays your conscious wins through sheer willpower, but the moment you lose that focus and strength, you fall back to the default programming.

If you want to change your external results in life, (like your money situation), you have to change your internal programming first.

Unfortunately, our industry and the entire financial education industry have neglected this fact.

They'll happily hand you an investing strategy, but if you don't have programming that's compatible with that strategy, you're going to lose your money. Every. Single. Time.

The only way to change your results is to change your internal program - your sub-conscious thoughts. Our minds cannot differentiate between reality and imagination. So how do we access our subconscious mind?

Your subconscious mind is responsible for 95% of your daily habits, thoughts, fears, and rituals. If you desire to change your subconscious mind is the place to begin. 

The subconscious mind typically requires between 22 and 66 days to be reprogrammed. If you are over the age of 31 it could take twice as long. The reason your subconscious mind is 95% programmed by the age of 31 with all your habits, routines, and beliefs. You can accelerate reprogramming by utilising subliminal messages and affirmations which are absorbed deep into your mind.

Your subconscious mind is responsible for 95% of your daily habits, thoughts, fears, and rituals. If you desire to change your subconscious mind is the place to begin. 

Imagine your subconscious mind like a sponge and every day you impress that sponge with a tiny drop of water. Over time, the sponge absorbs the water and becomes saturated. It would be fabulous if you could squeeze the sponge and all the water would drain out instantly. However, you can only take out a drop at a time. 

An added factor towards changing your subconscious programming is taking the time to meditate

Consistency and persistence over time will produce the changes you require to live a more abundant life...
