Some of you will be a bit surprised to see me supporting an interest in money - Buddhists don't do money, right?
But some of you would really like more money, and are wondering why you still haven't got as much as you'd like. This one's for you, because you deserve the best too!
It's often said that success is 20% skill set and 80% mindset, and yet if you look at how people approach the goal of getting more money, you'll find that most of them will devote a lot of energy and dollars to learning a skill set, but do almost nothing to get the mindset of a winner.
To put it bluntly, if you think $5000 on a share trading course and a couple of (usually free) motivational talks on mindset is the right balance, think again. Or be ready to join the 80% of people - many of them trained in the skill set - who lose money on shares. The same applies when it comes to other ways to increase your wealth: business, career, multi-level marketing (where the success rate is 3%, apparently), poker even!
And, for better or worse, to most other areas of your life.
So how to get that mindset? Well, first step is to get to know the cocktail of conflicting beliefs, emotional states, and behaviors that makes up who you are. For most people, there are a lot of internal blocks to getting money, and these are often completely unconscious. You may have been taught the perfect "system" to make money, but the person operating that system isn't a robot, it's a person - you! - with human idiosyncrasies, contradictions and blind spots, often more than enough to sabotage the best "systems" available.
A motivational speaker whose message is "You can have it all. You really can. Look at me. I have it all. All you need is to believe that!" is having next to no effect on your unconscious programming. He's just scraping the surface, and actually that's his job - to scrape the surface hard enough to wake you up to the fact that you have more options than you realized, so that you're ready to take the next step.
So are you interested in taking the next steps towards a life with more money in it? Yes? So you'll be needing to choose a skill set that will get you there, whether it's qualifications for a better job, training in how to set up and run a profitable business, learning a share-trading "system", or whatever you need for your chosen path.
But even more importantly, ask yourself the (possibly painful) question: do you have the mindset of a winner? Because wanting something isn't enough. Learning the skills isn't enough. For many of you, it will also be necessary to take on new beliefs, habits and attitudes.
The good news? These are also things that you can learn!
