Shape your perspective to get rich.

Your attitude towards money is holding you back. Here are 5 inspirational mindset shifts to achieve wealth.

1. Think: Money is my friend

You have an “it’s complicated” relationship with money.

The subject is painful for you to talk about and brings bad feelings.

Being raised on the“money is the root of all evil” hoodoo has got you spooked.

Money has become your nemesis.

It’s time for a reconciliation

Tell yourself, that money is good and embrace thoughts of money.

You will stop ignoring your budget and being in denial about your bills. Instead, you will calmly take charge, build wealth, and leave money anxieties behind.

2. Think: Money Comes and Goes

Money is a currency. Like a current, it flows.

Stop stopping the flow.

Allow yourself to think of earning, spending, saving, and investing as flows.

When you do that, you will have a healthier perspective. This will let you make trade-offs to increase your wealth.

After all, building wealth is a series of trade-offs.

3. Think: Money Is a Tool

Money is not your goal it is a tool to build wealth.

Money has no intrinsic value, it’s a means to help transactions.

Take loans for example. If the interest rate is low and you invest what you borrow to make money at a higher rate…presto, you create wealth.

Rich people “buy” money cheaply to create assets that cash flow at a higher rate.

Simple.

4. Think: There is a lot of money out there

There was a mindboggling 2 trillion US dollars in circulation in 2021.

Try and wrap your head around that for a minute.
