everything we do in our lives we do for
one of two reasons to either avoid pain
or to gain pleasure if you are
sabotaging yourself in any area and
we’re gonna talk about this again and
again it is simply because you believe
at some level of your thinking
subconscious thinking if not conscious
thinking that this situation that you’re
getting involved in the accumulation of
additional capital is gonna lead to more
pain than pleasure and again I know that
sounds insane and crazy but I have to
tell you it’s absolutely accurate and
any person that I’ve studied who’s been
living in financial Lac in addition many
people associate pleasure to having a
lack of financial abundance because so
you think about it when people really do
well financially and they’re around
their friends what happens well I can
tell you from experience when I was
really young I really went for it
nineteen years old had my own company
written up in newspapers and magazines
wonderboy you remember me right ego
exploding well sure enough I was making
all this money about ten thousand
dollars a month
I was jazzed except I thought money was
gonna lead to pleasure I looked around
us all the problems of my family said
hey have I got money I can eliminate
those and I got a lot more fun I can
give to my friends and I’d go back to my
friends I want to take him with me on a
trip I want to go someplace and they
were uncomfortable in fact a lot of them
started to judge me and all of a sudden
some of them treated me harshly and some
of them made excuses some of them
stopped going out to dinner with me
something say well you know I don’t have
a home like yours and I said I don’t
care
but what began to happen is I began to
link that having money didn’t mean the
pleasure I thought it was gonna mean my
brain started link up having a lot of
money means that people reject you
people you care about aren’t comfortable
with you all of a sudden started feeling
like an outcast all of a sudden started
feeling all this pain and sure enough
within a short period of time my brain
on some level not consciously but
subconsciously began to just destroy
everything economically
and I already told you how I did it not
showing up for key meetings right
treating people harshly distracting
myself through eating food continuously
watching television all those elements
came up to destroy my finances and so we
must remember how our brains work they
don’t work logically they work on what
we associate to things so if we’re going
to eliminate financial self-sabotage the
answer is very simple you’ve heard it
over and over again and again you’ll
hear it from me and that is we must
change our neural associations about
money that is we’ve got a change of our
core beliefs we’ve got to make sure that
earning money is purely a positive and
pleasurable experience for us and not 1
in our mind it’s going to lead to pain
again some people link God I’ll have to
pay all these taxes and they don’t have
the money and they’re worrying about the
problem no wonder they’ll never have any
why are they already considering the
negative aspects of having money the
answer I believe is that for most people
having an abundance of money is the
unknown in its experience they’ve never
had before
and people are basically afraid of the
unknown see they know how it is right
now they understand it they understand
the status quo and that’s fairly
comfortable I mean I have a little bit
of pain but the unknown oh that’s really
scary so I’ve found that most people
fail to achieve what they want
financially or sabotage themselves
financially simply because they haven’t
gotten himself ready for wealth
financial wealth they’ve not conditioned
themselves emotionally to have money
they have not developed the kinds of
beliefs that would allow them to create
an abundance of money and then
continually expand that money as well
you remember the metaphor we talked
about and we started this program that
what we have to do to really succeed we
have to build up our ability we have to
condition ourselves just as we would
physically and you start with a little
bit and you begin to work with it each
day increasing the amounts until pretty
soon what happens is you really develop
the muscle but you’ve got to be able to
use it you got to condition your arms
for example to be able to do curls well
you’re gonna have to condition your mind
and your emotions in order to be able to
have an abundance of money and feel
comfortable with it otherwise even
though it’s something that’s very
positive it may feel like a weight to
you could you just don’t how to deal
with it so how do we first get beyond
the sense of lack how we first begin to
create that wealth and then how do we
keep ourselves from destroying it once
the abundance starts to flow the way to
really create the wealth that you want
in your life starts with step number one
the way to get wealthy right now today
is to free yourself from the illusion
that you’re not already wealthy you say
what are you talking about Tony I don’t
have any money
listen wealth is not just money wealth
is an abundance of the things that you
really desire in your life wealth is
leverage that is the ability to have
experiences that you have not personally
controlled or generated what do I mean
well you are wealthy you live in a
country where there is abundance around
you all the time and you own it just for
living here I’m you own the public
highways you don’t have to pay anything
for most of them across the country you
own many
government buildings you can go in
they’re yours you can use them anytime
you want you can go into a public
library and get access to any book
that’s ever been written virtually and
it cost you nothing
think about it leverage in your life is
everywhere you didn’t have to go out and
actually create your breakfast nor did
you have to hunt down your dinner these
things have been done for you say well
yes I paid for them yeah that’s true and
it wasn’t on your back that the salt
came out of mines so you could put it on
your food you are truly wealthy the
level of abundance that you and I
experience every single day no matter
how much money we earn compared to the
rest of the world is absolutely absurd
and yet we walk around feeling like we
have lack and see like attracts like
whatever you hold on a consistent basis
in your mind is exactly what you’ll
experience in your life so the first key
to becoming wealthy is to understand
that you already are now wanting to
expand that I believe that’s healthy you
know some people say well is it really
right to make more money I mean if you
got a lot is it right don’t ask your
question if you’re intelligent is it
right for you to continue to want to
expand and become smarter is it right if
you already close to your husband or
wife to want to deepen that relationship
even more is it right for you to want
your children have even more to be
happier to be stronger to have better
relationships is that right is it right
no matter how close you feel to your
Creator don’t want that bond to be even
stronger and to strive for it is that
right I’ve got a question for you if you
could have more in your life if you
could have more than should you if there
are things you could do that create
greater abundance in any area of your
life then should you and my answer to
you is absolutely I think I shared with
you earlier in this program that there
was a point in my life where I thought
gosh if I have so much abundance and
other people don’t there’s something
wrong there that’s unfair hey listen
every single one of us was born with
opportunities were equal and our
opportunities were not equal in our
decisions were not equal in our
education
we’re not equal and how much we demand
from each other or from ourselves
we’re not equal in our motivation we
could choose to be but most of us are
not
now I know there’s the argument that hey
I grew up in the South Bronx I grew up
in a difficult part of town I didn’t
have the role models I can certainly
appreciate that a hundred percent I
really do believe that there are many
people in our society that don’t seem to
start out with the same level of
resources no doubt about it so my
approach to that used to be well I
really care about people that are have
less than I do I care about people that
are poor financially in fact my strategy
was the best way to help poor people’s
I’ll be one of them well that’s not
exactly the most intelligent approach
instead what I decided to do was realize
that no matter what someone’s resources
were I didn’t have any either I don’t
have any great role models I didn’t grow
up wealthy not even middle class and yet
I was able to make the things work
because I pursued them and no matter
where I’ve looked in the country no
matter how horrible the environment
there are a few people from that
environment that somehow have made it
work for themselves mentally emotionally
socially spiritually physically and
financially so why did these people make
it in spite of all the odds the answer
was not necessarily more talent or more
ability but that they were able to get
access to their talent and ability
because they had beliefs that empowered
them in each of these areas including
financial I mean that’s really what it
comes down to your finances will not
change until your core beliefs change
trying to turn around financial sabotage
simply by working harder by the way will
not work
the reason is you’ll work harder and
your beliefs like this rubber band
you’ll push push push push stretch
yourself out there they’ll start to make
some progress and right when you get to
a certain point of threshold
ymo the rubber band snaps you right back
to where you were I mean haven’t you
experienced this sometimes the only way
to break through is get rid of the
rubber bands expand your picture of your
life financially so that what’s
happening is you’re on a road a road
you’re always building a one that’s
always expanding in addition you must
believe that by building your road what
you’re also doing is creating a way for
others to travel to their dreams as well
simultaneously so since it starts with
our own beliefs we got to remind
ourselves what beliefs our beliefs are
nothing but a feeling of certainty about
what something means so again if you’ve
got limiting beliefs it just means you
got beliefs you have a feeling of
certainty that having money is gonna be
more painful than not having it that
having an abundance of money is gonna be
more painful than not having an
abundance yeah you can get by and it’ll
be okay you’ve got to change that how do
we do it well one the easiest way to
change anything is to link pain to the
thing we want to change in other words
link in our own minds that if I don’t
change this belief system it’s gonna
cost me so much it’s gonna hurt so bad
that your brain says I’ll do anything to
get rid of that belief and then show you
brain an alternative one that by
applying it you’ll have pleasure now
what most people do in life is sit
around and hope that someday something
magical will turn it around or again
they go out and just work harder and
harder and harder and they wonder why
they still can’t make it financially no
matter how much money they make they
always end up with more month at the end
of the money maybe I was one of the
lucky ones
maybe I just have a low threshold for
pain because I just couldn’t take it I
found so much frustration and not being
able to go certain places not being able
to be with certain people who are
traveling not being able to give some of
the things I really wanted to give most
of the people I cared about not being
able to have the lifestyle and the
freedom of choice in terms of my time
and my energy and the things that I was
gonna have in my life as well it was so
painful so embarrassing so frustrating
that finally one day I said I have had
it and that is a great place to get get
to the place where you’ve had it well
you’ve gone through threshold where
you’re not willing to do that anymore
but here’s the key when you realize
you’ve got it know what the reason is
it’s cuz of your beliefs and you go
inside and shift them now so how do we
do this I’m gonna guide you through a 3
or 4 step process right now to eliminate
self-sabotage in the area of finances
forever so let’s go for it get your
success journal or pull over the car now
this is the time as you pull it out
here’s what we’re gonna do and if you
need to stop the tape and come back to
welcome back I again hope I’m welcoming
you back and you did turn off this thing
while you wasn’t got your success
journal you don’t want to write on a
scrap a piece of paper keep that thing
with you okay good
now here’s what I’d like you to do I
like if you would to write down all of
the pain that you presently experienced
in your life because you don’t have the
level of financial abundance that you
truly deserve in other words what are
you losing right now what are you
missing out on what’s it costing in your
life not to have financial abundance in
other words our goal here is to not just
be intellectual but to really get
ourselves to experience once and for all
tremendous amount of pain from not
having finances so really go into your
gut go into your core and say okay what
are things I really want to do or be or
share or create or give or make that I
cannot do right now because I don’t have
financial abundance
I’ve got enough finances to get by or
I’ve got a you know maybe how even worse
you’re comfortable that’s really a death
rattle in terms of finances but what are
some of things beyond that that you’re
missing out it may be just the
self-esteem of knowing that you can
create as much as you want in an instant
what is it that you’re missing out on
I’m gonna give you about two and a half
minutes to do this
so please begin
[Music]
remember while you’re doing this make it
compelling what are some things you’d
really like to do in your life that you
can’t do think about how much pain Mecca
generate if you’re really focused on
that normally you don’t pay attention
you ever have to say someday honey we’ll
someday someday Dada yeah I’d really
like to do this but
we just can’t do it right now maybe way
maybe sometimes
to costume what could you do to develop
yourself
you’re missing out on
what could you do for your favorite
foundation
there’s somebody in your family who’s
suffering financially unable to help
them how does that make you feel to know
someone need medical care to like to be
able to purchase a nicer home or
something like that for family members a
mom or dad
like to be take better care of your
grandparents but can’t because you just
don’t have the financial abundance is
there a school you like to send your
children to but you just can’t again
because there isn’t enough money what
are some of the prices you pay every
single day because you don’t have enough
money what are some of the things you
really want but you’ve had a settle for
second best because you didn’t have
financial abundance is there a studio
you’d like to build you can’t do that so
you got to go somewhere else are you
having to live in a neighborhood that is
not supportive of your own values simply
because of economic necessity
how does that make you feel knowing that
you have to do that make sure you write
these down you really feel the pain I
know that doesn’t sound very nice but
the way we change is linked pain to
something get it out on the table okay
so what we’ve done here if you we’ve
done it effectively is gotten your brain
to begin to associate major pain to not
having money now you might say well Tony
I already had that well maybe but maybe
it was like you had one thought at a
time we want to do is intensify the
feeling of pain so your brain of fun I
say I’ve had it no more I’ve got to have
money so what’s on your list is it
compelling enough when I have people do
this many times they’ll tell me things
like well gosh you know not having money
means I don’t have time with my kids or
not having money means I can’t live with
my son or daughter or not having money
means I can’t get them the kind of child
care they really deserve and I’m busy
working too and I don’t know what to do
that’s pretty strong pain that will get
somebody motivated real quick remember
will do more to avoid pain and we will
to gain pleasure so put it on yourself
some people say just the pressure of the
bills themselves that is so painful
having people calling you up again and
again saying hey you’ve got to handle
this thing that does it for some people
by itself or maybe in this society where
one having two people end up in divorce
some people are having to support two
households and they think about the pain
they have in that they can’t have the
lifestyle they want because they can
barely take care of themselves after
taking care of somebody else for other
people it’s saying you know I can’t do
it or I’ll do it later but knowing in
their heart that later may never come
that’s pain or maybe for you it’s just
the pain of knowing somebody really
deserves help and you just can’t do it
because you don’t have the money or
maybe it’s the inability to travel or
visit the places you’d really like to or
maybe visit some people I know some
people have made on their list things
like I just don’t have the money even go
visit the grandparents who are about to
pass away I know I need to be there but
I just can’t because I’m busy and I have
to keep working or cuz I don’t have the
money to even get there
again this is not negative this is the
most positive thing you can do to
yourself creating pressure on yourself
massive pressure we’re not having money
hurts will make your brain want to
change that’s the only way you’ll get
rid of the sabotage does that make sense
so let’s go to the second stage the
second stage is let’s just find out what
you think of when you think about money
itself so now I’m gonna give you about
60 seconds but in these 60 seconds what
I’d like you to do is back in your
success journal just write down anything
you think of that you associate to money
if I say to you money or a lot of money
I weigh it right now what pops up in
your head just write down singular words
that you associate to money so you’ve
got 60 seconds please begin now
go for it okay time so what’s on your
list well I’m not sure what’s on yours
but I decided to try this with the
engineer here in the studio and he came
up with some things like this he said
that he has freedom he associates the
money time with loved ones associates
the money less stress less bills safety
and stress reduction in the form of
entertainment somebody else here has on
their list freedom of movement security
giving peace of mind hard work the
burden of responsibility lifestyle wider
social latitude interesting what’s on
your list now when you look at your list
is it mostly positive or mostly negative
what I found is when I have people do
this it depends on the individual but
oftentimes I get a lot of positives now
most these lists both these lists seem
to be primarily positively think about
money and there’s these positive things
they associate pleasure you say Tony
then why would somebody sabotage it the
only associate pleasure well let’s try
another approach and dig a little deeper
into your brain let’s see if all your
associations really are positive here’s
what I’d like you to try for the next
two minutes I want you to write down the
things you remember hearing growing up
about money in other words what were you
taught about money both explicitly and
implicitly by what people told you like
for example on your family your mom
your dad et cetera what are some of the
phrases you remember hearing jot them
down now you have two minutes beginning
now okay again time so my question is do
you notice any conflicts here well I
don’t know what’s on your list but if I
were to take the sampling I have here in
the studio it’s rather interesting in
the beginning here we have a persons
list where they say associated money
freedom time with loved ones less stress
less bills more safety stress reduction
in the form of entertainment but what
was this person taught growing up well
money is the root of all evil second
thing on their notes money isn’t
everything
person obviously doesn’t know where to
shop is no time to enjoy it fourth or no
notice no time to enjoy time with loved
ones no time to enjoy isn’t that an
interesting conflict and we wonder why
we sabotage why we start to move towards
and then all of a sudden think there’s
gonna be pain here and we sabotage
ourselves
here’s another sampling person whose
note said that they associated money
freedom of movement and security giving
a peace of mind and hard work and the
burden of responsibility few negatives
there and lifestyle this person has
money doesn’t grow on trees how’s that
for conditioning you for abundance I’m
not saying it does but that’s probably
not the best frame to hold in your mind
an ongoing basis
secondly we can’t afford it interesting
and that sentence is still probably
running through this person’s brain
there’s the next one it costs too much
or it’s too expensive here’s the next
thing on this gentleman’s list take care
of pennies and the dollars will take
care of themselves now let me ask you a
question how do you feel about taking
care of pennies what does that like
really create pleasure for you there’s
your you think your brain says oh man
I’m gonna take care of all these pennies
so I get a few dollars whoa I highly
doubt it here’s my point you want to
know why people are sabotaging check out
the massive contradictions here on the
one hand the person associates to money
primarily positive experiences yet on
the other everything the person was
taught growing
is it’s gonna be painful think about
that that’s why people experience
approach avoidance where they go out and
start to make some money but only go so
far before they limit themselves like
having a governor on your car you put
your foot on the accelerator you start
going a certain face but that’s the
highest you’re gonna go see that
governor is all the things you were
taught to pass those old beliefs now how
do we eradicate them again we associate
enough pain to them think about it are
you willing to pay the price the price
you wrote down to start with here the
things you’re gonna miss out on your
life in order to keep these measly ideas
in your mind that somebody dumped in
without realizing the impact maybe years
ago I doubt it
[Music]
so in essence what we can do right now
we’ve got a lot of choices one way to
change your beliefs is use what you
already know do a Dickens pattern on
yourself go back to the tape where we
did that and just guide yourself right
through it we’ve begun and already have
it when we’ve got you to begin to
associate some major pain if you don’t
change but I also need you to do is
associate some pleasure to the change
and that part should be pretty easy all
you have to do now and let’s do it is
make a list of all the benefits you
would have all the things you would get
in your life all the ways your life
would be absolutely totally enhanced if
money was no longer questioning your
life if you had true financial freedom
and financial abundance I’m gonna give
you a hundred and twenty seconds to
write down as fast as you can how your
life would be greater and better if
money was no longer an issue in your
life in other words what would be all
the additional benefits
how would you life be greater how would
you like be better immediately if right
now you handle the financial issue you
all right time again
now take a good look at your list this
should be a whole list of things that as
you think about them imagine if all of
these things you wrote down were
actually part of your regular daily
reality how would that make you feel see
our whole goal is get ourselves now to
link major pleasure to financial
abundance not financial sufficiency but
financial abundance we want to link
major pleasure to that and pain and not
having it
so how did you do did you listen really
produce the result I figured as long as
we’re doing this if I’d use the people
here in the studio as an example so let
me show you what they’ve got they’ve got
gosh if I had all this additional
financial abundance I’d my credit cards
paid off that mean make me feel great my
car would be paid off I’d go to the
theater more I’d go to movies I’d go to
cultural events as a result I’d be
informed I’d feel relaxed I’d feel
cultured and increase my self-esteem I
feel more I’d have more humor in my life
I feel more articulate more balanced I’d
be able to make conversation more easily
there’d be less stress in my life I’d be
able to have more time with my son
another person’s List says gosh if I had
financial abundance not just financial
sufficiency I could finish my studio I’d
buy a new home I have more travel time
I’d be able to get in the music business
full-time and just enjoy what I love
most I could be more generous I could
give without any concern for the future
I’d have no daily pressures from
financial obligations think about how
you’d feel these things are really true
so what is the main strategy for turning
ourselves around financially simple
answer you’ve heard it many times again
repetition being the mother of skill
you’ve heard that one a few times too
haven’t you but I want to remind you
that our brain moves away from pain and
towards pleasure right now if you don’t
have enough money it’s because your
brain links pain to having it in a major
abundance at least not sufficiency but a
major abundance and a certain amount of
pleasure in staying where you are we
want to reverse it how are we reversing
it one create massive pain and associate
that pain and not having it to create
tremendous pleasure to having it get it
clear in your mind that there’s a carrot
and a stick and they’re gonna drive you
forward financially
and you’ll see the financial
self-sabotage disappear from your life
now we need to go step beyond we’ve now
got the beliefs that work but that’s not
enough by itself got to go beyond just
eliminating the negative beliefs and by
the way one way to get rid of some of
these old beliefs that used to stop you
as well is to ridicule them see if you
take anything you’ve heard or said to
yourself and what you do is say it over
and over again in a unique new way you
create a new anchor in other words
that’s what advertisers did right
Winston tastes good like a once it
tastes good like a once and tastes good
like a how you spell relief is rol a and
a yes are Ola IDs are Ola IDs and you
heard over and over again so that’s what
you linked simple anchoring so what you
could do is attach to those old phrases
new beliefs so that when your mind says
money doesn’t grow on trees you say
that’s absolutely right it grows out of
the positive ideas that I follow through
on every single day in my life if you do
that over and over again pretty soon
money doesn’t grow on trees won’t have
the negative impact does that make sense
I know that sounds so simple I’m sorry
to help you to be free in an easy way I
guess we could make it tougher but
that’s all it really takes all you’ve
got to do is identify what used to stop
you destroy it eliminate it or get it to
trigger something more positive have you
got one here that says something like
money isn’t everything say for people
who don’t know where to shop have some
fun get yourself to giggle or laugh all
you have to do is get these beliefs to
have less heaviness to them less control
over you ridicule them play with them
and that’s gonna be one of your
exercises in fact it may be useful for
you to do that now to go through right
now and do things to these beliefs to
either make them trigger a new
empowering belief or to ridicule them to
the point where they no longer affect
you to where you would think of them
every time you thought of money isn’t
everything you begin to smile thinking
that funny phrase well you don’t know
where to shop in other words it’s not
true what I’m saying is not true all it
is is taking away a limitation does that
make sense let’s try it let’s stop one
last thing you’re gonna be a lot of
exercises today that’s true but this is
an issue it’s time to just get over and
move on so you can have the kind of
abundance here that you also have and
are continually developing your
relationships and in your business and
your spirituality and in your emotion
and your energy and your life go
for it what I want you to do
specifically is the following take out
your success journal go through each of
those limiting beliefs and in any
limiting beliefs in other words remember
we said write down anything you used to
hear growing up about money any of them
that would be a limitation and change
the belief another to attach a new
belief to it just the way we did here
Monday doesn’t grow on trees that’s
right because it grows out of the ideas
that I generate every day and follow
through on that create good for myself
and other people and just say it over
and over again so pretty soon you begin
to link it or maybe something simpler
than that complicated phrase I came up
with let’s take another one as an
example let’s say growing up you
continually heard it’s too expensive
it’s too expensive now that’s part of
you you say you’re absolutely right it
used to be too expensive but now it’s an
investment in my joy you get the idea
now you may say well gosh this is really
hard so is not having any money you
deserve financial abundance right now
get creative and go through each of the
negative phrases or beliefs and find a
way to either counteract them or attach
something to them that will empower you
please take the time to do this one
right now let’s just eradicate these
okay time is up so let’s continue here
with the people in studio and see how
they’ve done this gentleman’s list used
to say money is the root of all evil now
it says in the wrong hands money is the
root of all evil but I am a responsible
and sensitive person very nice next one
is money isn’t everything but added to
my other qualities it’ll do a lot of
good for me and those I really care
about fabulous here’s another example
money doesn’t grow on trees but it grows
out of my acting on my creative ideas I
can’t afford it we can’t afford not to
expand our financial resources and share
them with others as well take care of
the pennies and the dollars will take
care of themselves if I take care of the
pennies my focus is way too narrow if I
take care of the opportunities that
exist around me right now and give great
service the dollars will multiply
massively I have no time to enjoy money
I have had no time to enjoy money in the
past but I’m now learning to delegate
and I’m working smarter every day these
are fabulous examples that’s what you
need to do for yourself as well free
yourself from your old beliefs finally
on today’s lesson let’s take a look at
what are some of the specific empowering
beliefs that you might want to add to
your repertoire now not just to get
beyond financial self-sabotage but to
really ensure a financial freedom here
are a few of the beliefs that I’ve
modeled from people that are extremely
successful financially and some of my
own that have really assisted me as well
number one money is nothing but a
measure of the value that I create for
other people the more I give to others
the more money I receive on an ongoing
and consistent basis number two my
belief is in order to become wealthy I
need only two things one every single
day live in an attitude of gratitude
that is feel incredibly grateful for the
wealth that I already have in my life
and my friends and my family and the
environment and where I live and my work
in everything around me see a sense of
possibility and feel the abundance that
is my life
that will create more wealth without my
doing anything else like attracts light
water seeks its own level you’ve heard
these phrases burnt out as they may be
over and over again but they are true in
addition if you truly want to be wealthy
learn to consistently focus on how to
give much more to others than you expect
back and by the way it’s impossible the
more you give the more you’re going to
receive now you might say well Tony this
doesn’t work for me I tried it i tried
it with John Smith you know what I did I
gave Gabe Gabe Gabe Gabe you gave me
nothing well guess what see it doesn’t
always come back from the person you
gave it to sometimes they just take take
take you’re right I have no argument
with that but I’ll tell you something
you got to open your eyes you got to
start paying attention because it’s
coming back to you from somebody else
somewhere and if it hasn’t already it’s
on its way you gotta trust you you got
to know that that’s true by living with
those kinds of beliefs you will attract
the kind of wealth that you deserve how
do you make certain that you develop in
your life besides eliminating the
sabotage you do what we talked about in
the 7 wealth wounds an abbreviated look
of that might look something like this
one decide exactly what you want
financially in terms of abundance
remember we talked about developing a
number that was gonna be a must for you
not financial sufficiency but true
financial abundance more than enough
avalanches of abundance that’s what
we’re talking about make a decision
because you got to remember whatever you
focus on consistently you will get so if
you’re always focusing on getting by or
how to pay your bills that’s what you
get if you focus on massive abundance
that’s what you’ll have to and as long
as in your mind now having massive
abundance is something good having
massive abundance is not negative it’s
not guilt it’s not problems it’s not
pain it is pleasure to be and do and
create at the level that you are as a
spiritual and successful human being to
daily condition your mind for wealth so
that your brain is looking for
opportunities to succeed financially
remember the metaphor we talked about we
talked about setting goals will you buy
a car you buy a particular outfit once
you have it all of a sudden everywhere
you start noticing everybody who has
that car noticing that outfit well
there’s a part of your brain called the
reticular activating system it’s the
part of your brain that determines what
you pay attention to you recall earlier
we said that human beings are deletion
creatures that we don’t pay attention to
most of what’s going on around us we
only pay attention to a small band of
our experience our goals our mental
conditioning tells the RAS the reticular
activating system what to pay attention
to the RAS is like a policeman it
determines what’s going to get through
to your conscious awareness and what’s
going to be screened out so when you
daily decide what you want and condition
yourself to look for opportunity it’s
like all of a sudden you see that car
everywhere all of a sudden you see those
clothes everywhere all of a sudden you
will see places to cash in financially
when you’ve now made the decision to
condition your mind to attract wealth
how can you do it well for years I
started using affirmation for myself now
you might say well didn’t you say
affirmations aren’t that great no I said
that you got to make sure that if you’re
gonna use an affirmation you do it with
some real physiology that you really
change your state and I basically I read
all kinds of books on attracting wealth
and I found this in one of those books
and I really liked it and so I said it
over and over again but again saying an
affirmation that means nothing unless
you generate feeling and before I give
you this affirmation I want you to know
that it’s not meant to be religious in
any way I do want you to know that I do
believe in a creator I call it God you
may call that something else and that’s
fine but I believe that you and I have
this privilege called life because
something or someone has given it to us
something greater than our conscious
awareness and when people tell me why
don’t believe in a god I’m an atheist my
view to them is I like to ask them a
question I said so you’re trying to say
to me that everything we see the earth
the plants our environment the solar
system this universe that all works with
absolute precision is all the result of
things just falling together
that’s like saying Webster’s dictionary
is the result of an explosion in a
Factory come on there’s got to be
something more but let me just tell you
how I conditioned my mind for wealth I
believe that we can tap in we can
attract more in our lives when we
connect ourselves mentally and condition
ourselves for that abundance so I say to
myself is this God’s wealth is
circulating in my life his wealth flows
to me in a Valencia of abundance all my
needs desires and goals are met
instantaneously for I am one with God
and God is everything and I would say
this to myself over and over and over
and over again I would go run down the
beach for a couple of miles saying this
to myself with all the intensity of
feeling I could generate that’s one of
the major reasons I believe that in 12
months I went from totally broke to a
million dollar net worth because I
didn’t just hope I created a level of
certainty in my body that total
financial abundance was a part of every
cell every thought every feeling and
things began to jump out at me and I
began to attract them now that may sound
real metaphysical it may sound weird to
you but anyone that I’ve met who has
created great financial abundance it’s
not only decided what they want but
they’ve begun to condition themselves
daily to have that level of abundance
where it felt right for them and that’s
what I did with myself I offer you the
opportunity if it’s worthwhile for you
or you can correct it change the
language so it works for you but please
condition yourself for the abundance you
deserve step 3
get some role models find out what to do
and get yourself a great vehicle one way
to get a vehicle sit down and write down
what is it you love to do most in the
world to see I think financial abundance
comes from doing what you love most
doing it massively
and making sure that in your doing it it
creates tremendous value for other
people if you do those things
effectively you’re gonna have financial
abundance so if you’re looking for a
vehicle what do you love to do most
number one number two how could you do
it in a way where other people would
benefit and be willing to make an
investment to take part in something
that you love I mean that’s what I’ve
had the good fortune of doing by asking
that question question three is how
could you do it massively so you could
reach tons of people and make a major
difference and hopefully get paid well
in the process and then fourthly how
could you do it intelligently so
that once you’ve done all the stuff and
you’ve worked so hard you’ve helped
those people there’s something called
profit when you’re done there are lots
of possibilities for vehicles and there
are lots of models if you already want
to stay right where you are and do very
well financially again call or write us
we’ll teach you some models come to our
seminars or find somebody who you
respect locally and model them or go to
somebody else’s program whatever it
takes
please get yourself a model that’s how
you’ll know what to do for make sure
that on an ongoing basis you experience
yourself as a giver and I save this for
last because I want you to remember this
I believe that the bottom line of
financial success comes from your
believing in your gut that you deserve
everything that you’ve got in your life
now that may sound egotistical but the
reality is you got to feel like you
deserve it or it won’t stay you won’t
attract it my way of generating I
deserve it came in many ways number one
I deserve it because I’m alive just as
much as I deserve to grow mentally
emotionally and my relationships and my
intellect all those things I think I
deserve to grow so why would finances be
any different in addition I deserve it
because I’m a giver because I always
tried to give much more than I would
expect back these tapes are an example I
hope you can feel I’m trying to give you
10,000 percent of myself at each and
every time here I’m committed to Gavin
you get much much more a hundred times
more a minimum of ten times more than
you’ve invested in this program and I
know for a fact if you’ve really been
listening that you agree with me the
bottom line is by knowing you’re always
trying to get much more you feel like
whatever comes back yeah hey I’ve earned
it I deserve it and it’s great now some
people might say well you shouldn’t have
to earn it you should just accept it
well that’s a great strategy to do if
that works for you do whatever works but
make sure that you give so you got to
take at least 10% of what you earn and
give it away minimum now some people say
well Tony when I make more money then
I’ll give 10% who are you getting what
do you think is harder to give a dime
out of a dollar or a hundred thousand
out of a million trust me the hundred
thousand will feel quite a bit different
than the dime out of the dollar if you
don’t develop the habits now you
certainly won’t do it on the number
get bigger listen go get yourself a book
simple book it’s called the richest man
in Babylon it’s by George claisen it’s a
very old classic very small you can read
it in a short time it’s like a series of
short stories that’ll teach you how to
use money through allegory it’ll teach
you three basic principles one it’ll
teach you no matter how much money you
make or don’t make take 10% of it and
give it away immediately why it doesn’t
say this but this is what I believe when
you give away a percentage of what you
have it teaches your subconscious mind
that there’s more than enough boy that’s
a great belief to instal cuz once it
believes that your subconscious mind
will create that reality in your life it
makes you feel like a giver and we all
deserve to have that feeling of pleasure
of being a giver not a taker – it’ll
tell you to take 10% of what you earn
and use it to reduce your debts payoff
mastercharge Visa Arnold’s linoleum
whatever it takes and three take 10% and
save it up to invest no matter how small
it is you can’t believe what some of the
investments are they’re available out
there there are things that take almost
no money you could get started with and
begin to build your wealth but make sure
you give and here’s the fifth step that
I want you to take to really condition
yourself for wealth and move to the next
level and that is create experiences
with money that create tremendous
pleasure and joy for yourself and the
people around you give to yourself be
willing to really do that and watch your
financial picture change in other words
you can’t expect to work that hard make
a lot of money and then never get any
pleasure out of it just put it in CDs or
just invested or just give it away and
never feel that direct connection of
pleasure your brain won’t do it forever
so you might take a certain amount of
your money and it’s just mad money
you’re just gonna go out and do stupid
fun things that maybe in the past used
to make yourself wrong for you’re gonna
go play that’s play money and if you do
that you can’t believe it’ll happen your
pain will go yeah adults make some more
money we can have some more place more
pleasure and it’ll enhance your life in
virtually every way remember if you have
financial abundance it’s because you
deserve it if you’ve lived by your
values and you’ve truly given yourself
each day
try to add major value to other people’s
lives and you’ve had a decent vehicle
you will develop financial abundance
you’ll have financial access now the
challenge with that is what people
thinks when they hear excess is too much
but in this case you’ve got to realize
that your excess is the result of you
giving much more than what’s even shown
up it’s a great scorecard for the value
you’ve added in other people’s lives and
as a result you have even more on your
own as well there is no need to create
limits on yourself let yourself grow
well beyond your past limits and create
the abundance you deserve here’s your
assignment for today
you got another assignment why not we’re
on a roll the last assignment is this as
you turn the tape off let me give you a
ten day challenge I know I’ve given you
some daily challenges like your morning
questions but just for 10 days and start
it today would you be willing to take a
minute or two and begin to condition
your mind for financial possibility by
doing the following writing down simply
three ideas on how to make money three
new ideas either something that already
exists that you haven’t been paying
attention to before or a brand new idea
a concept for a service or a business or
an investment or a possibility or an
invention anything at all and let me
give you one caveat maybe a bunch of
your ideas won’t be worthwhile who cares
how many ideas do you need to be able to
create financial abundance one or two
good ones that’s it and that’s all you
need is one so if you did this for ten
days you’ll have 30 ideas at the end of
10 days plus you’ll done something else
you’ll established a conditioned mental
pattern or habit of looking for
financial opportunity and you certainly
deserve that if you keep looking you’re
liable to find something and if you find
something you’re liable to follow
through and if you follow through you’re
liable to make some major money and then
you want to focus on money you’ll be
able to just have that abundance and be
able to focus on whatever you hold is most important now so go for it
one of two reasons to either avoid pain
or to gain pleasure if you are
sabotaging yourself in any area and
we’re gonna talk about this again and
again it is simply because you believe
at some level of your thinking
subconscious thinking if not conscious
thinking that this situation that you’re
getting involved in the accumulation of
additional capital is gonna lead to more
pain than pleasure and again I know that
sounds insane and crazy but I have to
tell you it’s absolutely accurate and
any person that I’ve studied who’s been
living in financial Lac in addition many
people associate pleasure to having a
lack of financial abundance because so
you think about it when people really do
well financially and they’re around
their friends what happens well I can
tell you from experience when I was
really young I really went for it
nineteen years old had my own company
written up in newspapers and magazines
wonderboy you remember me right ego
exploding well sure enough I was making
all this money about ten thousand
dollars a month
I was jazzed except I thought money was
gonna lead to pleasure I looked around
us all the problems of my family said
hey have I got money I can eliminate
those and I got a lot more fun I can
give to my friends and I’d go back to my
friends I want to take him with me on a
trip I want to go someplace and they
were uncomfortable in fact a lot of them
started to judge me and all of a sudden
some of them treated me harshly and some
of them made excuses some of them
stopped going out to dinner with me
something say well you know I don’t have
a home like yours and I said I don’t
care
but what began to happen is I began to
link that having money didn’t mean the
pleasure I thought it was gonna mean my
brain started link up having a lot of
money means that people reject you
people you care about aren’t comfortable
with you all of a sudden started feeling
like an outcast all of a sudden started
feeling all this pain and sure enough
within a short period of time my brain
on some level not consciously but
subconsciously began to just destroy
everything economically
and I already told you how I did it not
showing up for key meetings right
treating people harshly distracting
myself through eating food continuously
watching television all those elements
came up to destroy my finances and so we
must remember how our brains work they
don’t work logically they work on what
we associate to things so if we’re going
to eliminate financial self-sabotage the
answer is very simple you’ve heard it
over and over again and again you’ll
hear it from me and that is we must
change our neural associations about
money that is we’ve got a change of our
core beliefs we’ve got to make sure that
earning money is purely a positive and
pleasurable experience for us and not 1
in our mind it’s going to lead to pain
again some people link God I’ll have to
pay all these taxes and they don’t have
the money and they’re worrying about the
problem no wonder they’ll never have any
why are they already considering the
negative aspects of having money the
answer I believe is that for most people
having an abundance of money is the
unknown in its experience they’ve never
had before
and people are basically afraid of the
unknown see they know how it is right
now they understand it they understand
the status quo and that’s fairly
comfortable I mean I have a little bit
of pain but the unknown oh that’s really
scary so I’ve found that most people
fail to achieve what they want
financially or sabotage themselves
financially simply because they haven’t
gotten himself ready for wealth
financial wealth they’ve not conditioned
themselves emotionally to have money
they have not developed the kinds of
beliefs that would allow them to create
an abundance of money and then
continually expand that money as well
you remember the metaphor we talked
about and we started this program that
what we have to do to really succeed we
have to build up our ability we have to
condition ourselves just as we would
physically and you start with a little
bit and you begin to work with it each
day increasing the amounts until pretty
soon what happens is you really develop
the muscle but you’ve got to be able to
use it you got to condition your arms
for example to be able to do curls well
you’re gonna have to condition your mind
and your emotions in order to be able to
have an abundance of money and feel
comfortable with it otherwise even
though it’s something that’s very
positive it may feel like a weight to
you could you just don’t how to deal
with it so how do we first get beyond
the sense of lack how we first begin to
create that wealth and then how do we
keep ourselves from destroying it once
the abundance starts to flow the way to
really create the wealth that you want
in your life starts with step number one
the way to get wealthy right now today
is to free yourself from the illusion
that you’re not already wealthy you say
what are you talking about Tony I don’t
have any money
listen wealth is not just money wealth
is an abundance of the things that you
really desire in your life wealth is
leverage that is the ability to have
experiences that you have not personally
controlled or generated what do I mean
well you are wealthy you live in a
country where there is abundance around
you all the time and you own it just for
living here I’m you own the public
highways you don’t have to pay anything
for most of them across the country you
own many
government buildings you can go in
they’re yours you can use them anytime
you want you can go into a public
library and get access to any book
that’s ever been written virtually and
it cost you nothing
think about it leverage in your life is
everywhere you didn’t have to go out and
actually create your breakfast nor did
you have to hunt down your dinner these
things have been done for you say well
yes I paid for them yeah that’s true and
it wasn’t on your back that the salt
came out of mines so you could put it on
your food you are truly wealthy the
level of abundance that you and I
experience every single day no matter
how much money we earn compared to the
rest of the world is absolutely absurd
and yet we walk around feeling like we
have lack and see like attracts like
whatever you hold on a consistent basis
in your mind is exactly what you’ll
experience in your life so the first key
to becoming wealthy is to understand
that you already are now wanting to
expand that I believe that’s healthy you
know some people say well is it really
right to make more money I mean if you
got a lot is it right don’t ask your
question if you’re intelligent is it
right for you to continue to want to
expand and become smarter is it right if
you already close to your husband or
wife to want to deepen that relationship
even more is it right for you to want
your children have even more to be
happier to be stronger to have better
relationships is that right is it right
no matter how close you feel to your
Creator don’t want that bond to be even
stronger and to strive for it is that
right I’ve got a question for you if you
could have more in your life if you
could have more than should you if there
are things you could do that create
greater abundance in any area of your
life then should you and my answer to
you is absolutely I think I shared with
you earlier in this program that there
was a point in my life where I thought
gosh if I have so much abundance and
other people don’t there’s something
wrong there that’s unfair hey listen
every single one of us was born with
opportunities were equal and our
opportunities were not equal in our
decisions were not equal in our
education
we’re not equal and how much we demand
from each other or from ourselves
we’re not equal in our motivation we
could choose to be but most of us are
not
now I know there’s the argument that hey
I grew up in the South Bronx I grew up
in a difficult part of town I didn’t
have the role models I can certainly
appreciate that a hundred percent I
really do believe that there are many
people in our society that don’t seem to
start out with the same level of
resources no doubt about it so my
approach to that used to be well I
really care about people that are have
less than I do I care about people that
are poor financially in fact my strategy
was the best way to help poor people’s
I’ll be one of them well that’s not
exactly the most intelligent approach
instead what I decided to do was realize
that no matter what someone’s resources
were I didn’t have any either I don’t
have any great role models I didn’t grow
up wealthy not even middle class and yet
I was able to make the things work
because I pursued them and no matter
where I’ve looked in the country no
matter how horrible the environment
there are a few people from that
environment that somehow have made it
work for themselves mentally emotionally
socially spiritually physically and
financially so why did these people make
it in spite of all the odds the answer
was not necessarily more talent or more
ability but that they were able to get
access to their talent and ability
because they had beliefs that empowered
them in each of these areas including
financial I mean that’s really what it
comes down to your finances will not
change until your core beliefs change
trying to turn around financial sabotage
simply by working harder by the way will
not work
the reason is you’ll work harder and
your beliefs like this rubber band
you’ll push push push push stretch
yourself out there they’ll start to make
some progress and right when you get to
a certain point of threshold
ymo the rubber band snaps you right back
to where you were I mean haven’t you
experienced this sometimes the only way
to break through is get rid of the
rubber bands expand your picture of your
life financially so that what’s
happening is you’re on a road a road
you’re always building a one that’s
always expanding in addition you must
believe that by building your road what
you’re also doing is creating a way for
others to travel to their dreams as well
simultaneously so since it starts with
our own beliefs we got to remind
ourselves what beliefs our beliefs are
nothing but a feeling of certainty about
what something means so again if you’ve
got limiting beliefs it just means you
got beliefs you have a feeling of
certainty that having money is gonna be
more painful than not having it that
having an abundance of money is gonna be
more painful than not having an
abundance yeah you can get by and it’ll
be okay you’ve got to change that how do
we do it well one the easiest way to
change anything is to link pain to the
thing we want to change in other words
link in our own minds that if I don’t
change this belief system it’s gonna
cost me so much it’s gonna hurt so bad
that your brain says I’ll do anything to
get rid of that belief and then show you
brain an alternative one that by
applying it you’ll have pleasure now
what most people do in life is sit
around and hope that someday something
magical will turn it around or again
they go out and just work harder and
harder and harder and they wonder why
they still can’t make it financially no
matter how much money they make they
always end up with more month at the end
of the money maybe I was one of the
lucky ones
maybe I just have a low threshold for
pain because I just couldn’t take it I
found so much frustration and not being
able to go certain places not being able
to be with certain people who are
traveling not being able to give some of
the things I really wanted to give most
of the people I cared about not being
able to have the lifestyle and the
freedom of choice in terms of my time
and my energy and the things that I was
gonna have in my life as well it was so
painful so embarrassing so frustrating
that finally one day I said I have had
it and that is a great place to get get
to the place where you’ve had it well
you’ve gone through threshold where
you’re not willing to do that anymore
but here’s the key when you realize
you’ve got it know what the reason is
it’s cuz of your beliefs and you go
inside and shift them now so how do we
do this I’m gonna guide you through a 3
or 4 step process right now to eliminate
self-sabotage in the area of finances
forever so let’s go for it get your
success journal or pull over the car now
this is the time as you pull it out
here’s what we’re gonna do and if you
need to stop the tape and come back to
welcome back I again hope I’m welcoming
you back and you did turn off this thing
while you wasn’t got your success
journal you don’t want to write on a
scrap a piece of paper keep that thing
with you okay good
now here’s what I’d like you to do I
like if you would to write down all of
the pain that you presently experienced
in your life because you don’t have the
level of financial abundance that you
truly deserve in other words what are
you losing right now what are you
missing out on what’s it costing in your
life not to have financial abundance in
other words our goal here is to not just
be intellectual but to really get
ourselves to experience once and for all
tremendous amount of pain from not
having finances so really go into your
gut go into your core and say okay what
are things I really want to do or be or
share or create or give or make that I
cannot do right now because I don’t have
financial abundance
I’ve got enough finances to get by or
I’ve got a you know maybe how even worse
you’re comfortable that’s really a death
rattle in terms of finances but what are
some of things beyond that that you’re
missing out it may be just the
self-esteem of knowing that you can
create as much as you want in an instant
what is it that you’re missing out on
I’m gonna give you about two and a half
minutes to do this
so please begin
[Music]
remember while you’re doing this make it
compelling what are some things you’d
really like to do in your life that you
can’t do think about how much pain Mecca
generate if you’re really focused on
that normally you don’t pay attention
you ever have to say someday honey we’ll
someday someday Dada yeah I’d really
like to do this but
we just can’t do it right now maybe way
maybe sometimes
to costume what could you do to develop
yourself
you’re missing out on
what could you do for your favorite
foundation
there’s somebody in your family who’s
suffering financially unable to help
them how does that make you feel to know
someone need medical care to like to be
able to purchase a nicer home or
something like that for family members a
mom or dad
like to be take better care of your
grandparents but can’t because you just
don’t have the financial abundance is
there a school you like to send your
children to but you just can’t again
because there isn’t enough money what
are some of the prices you pay every
single day because you don’t have enough
money what are some of the things you
really want but you’ve had a settle for
second best because you didn’t have
financial abundance is there a studio
you’d like to build you can’t do that so
you got to go somewhere else are you
having to live in a neighborhood that is
not supportive of your own values simply
because of economic necessity
how does that make you feel knowing that
you have to do that make sure you write
these down you really feel the pain I
know that doesn’t sound very nice but
the way we change is linked pain to
something get it out on the table okay
so what we’ve done here if you we’ve
done it effectively is gotten your brain
to begin to associate major pain to not
having money now you might say well Tony
I already had that well maybe but maybe
it was like you had one thought at a
time we want to do is intensify the
feeling of pain so your brain of fun I
say I’ve had it no more I’ve got to have
money so what’s on your list is it
compelling enough when I have people do
this many times they’ll tell me things
like well gosh you know not having money
means I don’t have time with my kids or
not having money means I can’t live with
my son or daughter or not having money
means I can’t get them the kind of child
care they really deserve and I’m busy
working too and I don’t know what to do
that’s pretty strong pain that will get
somebody motivated real quick remember
will do more to avoid pain and we will
to gain pleasure so put it on yourself
some people say just the pressure of the
bills themselves that is so painful
having people calling you up again and
again saying hey you’ve got to handle
this thing that does it for some people
by itself or maybe in this society where
one having two people end up in divorce
some people are having to support two
households and they think about the pain
they have in that they can’t have the
lifestyle they want because they can
barely take care of themselves after
taking care of somebody else for other
people it’s saying you know I can’t do
it or I’ll do it later but knowing in
their heart that later may never come
that’s pain or maybe for you it’s just
the pain of knowing somebody really
deserves help and you just can’t do it
because you don’t have the money or
maybe it’s the inability to travel or
visit the places you’d really like to or
maybe visit some people I know some
people have made on their list things
like I just don’t have the money even go
visit the grandparents who are about to
pass away I know I need to be there but
I just can’t because I’m busy and I have
to keep working or cuz I don’t have the
money to even get there
again this is not negative this is the
most positive thing you can do to
yourself creating pressure on yourself
massive pressure we’re not having money
hurts will make your brain want to
change that’s the only way you’ll get
rid of the sabotage does that make sense
so let’s go to the second stage the
second stage is let’s just find out what
you think of when you think about money
itself so now I’m gonna give you about
60 seconds but in these 60 seconds what
I’d like you to do is back in your
success journal just write down anything
you think of that you associate to money
if I say to you money or a lot of money
I weigh it right now what pops up in
your head just write down singular words
that you associate to money so you’ve
got 60 seconds please begin now
go for it okay time so what’s on your
list well I’m not sure what’s on yours
but I decided to try this with the
engineer here in the studio and he came
up with some things like this he said
that he has freedom he associates the
money time with loved ones associates
the money less stress less bills safety
and stress reduction in the form of
entertainment somebody else here has on
their list freedom of movement security
giving peace of mind hard work the
burden of responsibility lifestyle wider
social latitude interesting what’s on
your list now when you look at your list
is it mostly positive or mostly negative
what I found is when I have people do
this it depends on the individual but
oftentimes I get a lot of positives now
most these lists both these lists seem
to be primarily positively think about
money and there’s these positive things
they associate pleasure you say Tony
then why would somebody sabotage it the
only associate pleasure well let’s try
another approach and dig a little deeper
into your brain let’s see if all your
associations really are positive here’s
what I’d like you to try for the next
two minutes I want you to write down the
things you remember hearing growing up
about money in other words what were you
taught about money both explicitly and
implicitly by what people told you like
for example on your family your mom
your dad et cetera what are some of the
phrases you remember hearing jot them
down now you have two minutes beginning
now okay again time so my question is do
you notice any conflicts here well I
don’t know what’s on your list but if I
were to take the sampling I have here in
the studio it’s rather interesting in
the beginning here we have a persons
list where they say associated money
freedom time with loved ones less stress
less bills more safety stress reduction
in the form of entertainment but what
was this person taught growing up well
money is the root of all evil second
thing on their notes money isn’t
everything
person obviously doesn’t know where to
shop is no time to enjoy it fourth or no
notice no time to enjoy time with loved
ones no time to enjoy isn’t that an
interesting conflict and we wonder why
we sabotage why we start to move towards
and then all of a sudden think there’s
gonna be pain here and we sabotage
ourselves
here’s another sampling person whose
note said that they associated money
freedom of movement and security giving
a peace of mind and hard work and the
burden of responsibility few negatives
there and lifestyle this person has
money doesn’t grow on trees how’s that
for conditioning you for abundance I’m
not saying it does but that’s probably
not the best frame to hold in your mind
an ongoing basis
secondly we can’t afford it interesting
and that sentence is still probably
running through this person’s brain
there’s the next one it costs too much
or it’s too expensive here’s the next
thing on this gentleman’s list take care
of pennies and the dollars will take
care of themselves now let me ask you a
question how do you feel about taking
care of pennies what does that like
really create pleasure for you there’s
your you think your brain says oh man
I’m gonna take care of all these pennies
so I get a few dollars whoa I highly
doubt it here’s my point you want to
know why people are sabotaging check out
the massive contradictions here on the
one hand the person associates to money
primarily positive experiences yet on
the other everything the person was
taught growing
is it’s gonna be painful think about
that that’s why people experience
approach avoidance where they go out and
start to make some money but only go so
far before they limit themselves like
having a governor on your car you put
your foot on the accelerator you start
going a certain face but that’s the
highest you’re gonna go see that
governor is all the things you were
taught to pass those old beliefs now how
do we eradicate them again we associate
enough pain to them think about it are
you willing to pay the price the price
you wrote down to start with here the
things you’re gonna miss out on your
life in order to keep these measly ideas
in your mind that somebody dumped in
without realizing the impact maybe years
ago I doubt it
[Music]
so in essence what we can do right now
we’ve got a lot of choices one way to
change your beliefs is use what you
already know do a Dickens pattern on
yourself go back to the tape where we
did that and just guide yourself right
through it we’ve begun and already have
it when we’ve got you to begin to
associate some major pain if you don’t
change but I also need you to do is
associate some pleasure to the change
and that part should be pretty easy all
you have to do now and let’s do it is
make a list of all the benefits you
would have all the things you would get
in your life all the ways your life
would be absolutely totally enhanced if
money was no longer questioning your
life if you had true financial freedom
and financial abundance I’m gonna give
you a hundred and twenty seconds to
write down as fast as you can how your
life would be greater and better if
money was no longer an issue in your
life in other words what would be all
the additional benefits
how would you life be greater how would
you like be better immediately if right
now you handle the financial issue you
all right time again
now take a good look at your list this
should be a whole list of things that as
you think about them imagine if all of
these things you wrote down were
actually part of your regular daily
reality how would that make you feel see
our whole goal is get ourselves now to
link major pleasure to financial
abundance not financial sufficiency but
financial abundance we want to link
major pleasure to that and pain and not
having it
so how did you do did you listen really
produce the result I figured as long as
we’re doing this if I’d use the people
here in the studio as an example so let
me show you what they’ve got they’ve got
gosh if I had all this additional
financial abundance I’d my credit cards
paid off that mean make me feel great my
car would be paid off I’d go to the
theater more I’d go to movies I’d go to
cultural events as a result I’d be
informed I’d feel relaxed I’d feel
cultured and increase my self-esteem I
feel more I’d have more humor in my life
I feel more articulate more balanced I’d
be able to make conversation more easily
there’d be less stress in my life I’d be
able to have more time with my son
another person’s List says gosh if I had
financial abundance not just financial
sufficiency I could finish my studio I’d
buy a new home I have more travel time
I’d be able to get in the music business
full-time and just enjoy what I love
most I could be more generous I could
give without any concern for the future
I’d have no daily pressures from
financial obligations think about how
you’d feel these things are really true
so what is the main strategy for turning
ourselves around financially simple
answer you’ve heard it many times again
repetition being the mother of skill
you’ve heard that one a few times too
haven’t you but I want to remind you
that our brain moves away from pain and
towards pleasure right now if you don’t
have enough money it’s because your
brain links pain to having it in a major
abundance at least not sufficiency but a
major abundance and a certain amount of
pleasure in staying where you are we
want to reverse it how are we reversing
it one create massive pain and associate
that pain and not having it to create
tremendous pleasure to having it get it
clear in your mind that there’s a carrot
and a stick and they’re gonna drive you
forward financially
and you’ll see the financial
self-sabotage disappear from your life
now we need to go step beyond we’ve now
got the beliefs that work but that’s not
enough by itself got to go beyond just
eliminating the negative beliefs and by
the way one way to get rid of some of
these old beliefs that used to stop you
as well is to ridicule them see if you
take anything you’ve heard or said to
yourself and what you do is say it over
and over again in a unique new way you
create a new anchor in other words
that’s what advertisers did right
Winston tastes good like a once it
tastes good like a once and tastes good
like a how you spell relief is rol a and
a yes are Ola IDs are Ola IDs and you
heard over and over again so that’s what
you linked simple anchoring so what you
could do is attach to those old phrases
new beliefs so that when your mind says
money doesn’t grow on trees you say
that’s absolutely right it grows out of
the positive ideas that I follow through
on every single day in my life if you do
that over and over again pretty soon
money doesn’t grow on trees won’t have
the negative impact does that make sense
I know that sounds so simple I’m sorry
to help you to be free in an easy way I
guess we could make it tougher but
that’s all it really takes all you’ve
got to do is identify what used to stop
you destroy it eliminate it or get it to
trigger something more positive have you
got one here that says something like
money isn’t everything say for people
who don’t know where to shop have some
fun get yourself to giggle or laugh all
you have to do is get these beliefs to
have less heaviness to them less control
over you ridicule them play with them
and that’s gonna be one of your
exercises in fact it may be useful for
you to do that now to go through right
now and do things to these beliefs to
either make them trigger a new
empowering belief or to ridicule them to
the point where they no longer affect
you to where you would think of them
every time you thought of money isn’t
everything you begin to smile thinking
that funny phrase well you don’t know
where to shop in other words it’s not
true what I’m saying is not true all it
is is taking away a limitation does that
make sense let’s try it let’s stop one
last thing you’re gonna be a lot of
exercises today that’s true but this is
an issue it’s time to just get over and
move on so you can have the kind of
abundance here that you also have and
are continually developing your
relationships and in your business and
your spirituality and in your emotion
and your energy and your life go
for it what I want you to do
specifically is the following take out
your success journal go through each of
those limiting beliefs and in any
limiting beliefs in other words remember
we said write down anything you used to
hear growing up about money any of them
that would be a limitation and change
the belief another to attach a new
belief to it just the way we did here
Monday doesn’t grow on trees that’s
right because it grows out of the ideas
that I generate every day and follow
through on that create good for myself
and other people and just say it over
and over again so pretty soon you begin
to link it or maybe something simpler
than that complicated phrase I came up
with let’s take another one as an
example let’s say growing up you
continually heard it’s too expensive
it’s too expensive now that’s part of
you you say you’re absolutely right it
used to be too expensive but now it’s an
investment in my joy you get the idea
now you may say well gosh this is really
hard so is not having any money you
deserve financial abundance right now
get creative and go through each of the
negative phrases or beliefs and find a
way to either counteract them or attach
something to them that will empower you
please take the time to do this one
right now let’s just eradicate these
okay time is up so let’s continue here
with the people in studio and see how
they’ve done this gentleman’s list used
to say money is the root of all evil now
it says in the wrong hands money is the
root of all evil but I am a responsible
and sensitive person very nice next one
is money isn’t everything but added to
my other qualities it’ll do a lot of
good for me and those I really care
about fabulous here’s another example
money doesn’t grow on trees but it grows
out of my acting on my creative ideas I
can’t afford it we can’t afford not to
expand our financial resources and share
them with others as well take care of
the pennies and the dollars will take
care of themselves if I take care of the
pennies my focus is way too narrow if I
take care of the opportunities that
exist around me right now and give great
service the dollars will multiply
massively I have no time to enjoy money
I have had no time to enjoy money in the
past but I’m now learning to delegate
and I’m working smarter every day these
are fabulous examples that’s what you
need to do for yourself as well free
yourself from your old beliefs finally
on today’s lesson let’s take a look at
what are some of the specific empowering
beliefs that you might want to add to
your repertoire now not just to get
beyond financial self-sabotage but to
really ensure a financial freedom here
are a few of the beliefs that I’ve
modeled from people that are extremely
successful financially and some of my
own that have really assisted me as well
number one money is nothing but a
measure of the value that I create for
other people the more I give to others
the more money I receive on an ongoing
and consistent basis number two my
belief is in order to become wealthy I
need only two things one every single
day live in an attitude of gratitude
that is feel incredibly grateful for the
wealth that I already have in my life
and my friends and my family and the
environment and where I live and my work
in everything around me see a sense of
possibility and feel the abundance that
is my life
that will create more wealth without my
doing anything else like attracts light
water seeks its own level you’ve heard
these phrases burnt out as they may be
over and over again but they are true in
addition if you truly want to be wealthy
learn to consistently focus on how to
give much more to others than you expect
back and by the way it’s impossible the
more you give the more you’re going to
receive now you might say well Tony this
doesn’t work for me I tried it i tried
it with John Smith you know what I did I
gave Gabe Gabe Gabe Gabe you gave me
nothing well guess what see it doesn’t
always come back from the person you
gave it to sometimes they just take take
take you’re right I have no argument
with that but I’ll tell you something
you got to open your eyes you got to
start paying attention because it’s
coming back to you from somebody else
somewhere and if it hasn’t already it’s
on its way you gotta trust you you got
to know that that’s true by living with
those kinds of beliefs you will attract
the kind of wealth that you deserve how
do you make certain that you develop in
your life besides eliminating the
sabotage you do what we talked about in
the 7 wealth wounds an abbreviated look
of that might look something like this
one decide exactly what you want
financially in terms of abundance
remember we talked about developing a
number that was gonna be a must for you
not financial sufficiency but true
financial abundance more than enough
avalanches of abundance that’s what
we’re talking about make a decision
because you got to remember whatever you
focus on consistently you will get so if
you’re always focusing on getting by or
how to pay your bills that’s what you
get if you focus on massive abundance
that’s what you’ll have to and as long
as in your mind now having massive
abundance is something good having
massive abundance is not negative it’s
not guilt it’s not problems it’s not
pain it is pleasure to be and do and
create at the level that you are as a
spiritual and successful human being to
daily condition your mind for wealth so
that your brain is looking for
opportunities to succeed financially
remember the metaphor we talked about we
talked about setting goals will you buy
a car you buy a particular outfit once
you have it all of a sudden everywhere
you start noticing everybody who has
that car noticing that outfit well
there’s a part of your brain called the
reticular activating system it’s the
part of your brain that determines what
you pay attention to you recall earlier
we said that human beings are deletion
creatures that we don’t pay attention to
most of what’s going on around us we
only pay attention to a small band of
our experience our goals our mental
conditioning tells the RAS the reticular
activating system what to pay attention
to the RAS is like a policeman it
determines what’s going to get through
to your conscious awareness and what’s
going to be screened out so when you
daily decide what you want and condition
yourself to look for opportunity it’s
like all of a sudden you see that car
everywhere all of a sudden you see those
clothes everywhere all of a sudden you
will see places to cash in financially
when you’ve now made the decision to
condition your mind to attract wealth
how can you do it well for years I
started using affirmation for myself now
you might say well didn’t you say
affirmations aren’t that great no I said
that you got to make sure that if you’re
gonna use an affirmation you do it with
some real physiology that you really
change your state and I basically I read
all kinds of books on attracting wealth
and I found this in one of those books
and I really liked it and so I said it
over and over again but again saying an
affirmation that means nothing unless
you generate feeling and before I give
you this affirmation I want you to know
that it’s not meant to be religious in
any way I do want you to know that I do
believe in a creator I call it God you
may call that something else and that’s
fine but I believe that you and I have
this privilege called life because
something or someone has given it to us
something greater than our conscious
awareness and when people tell me why
don’t believe in a god I’m an atheist my
view to them is I like to ask them a
question I said so you’re trying to say
to me that everything we see the earth
the plants our environment the solar
system this universe that all works with
absolute precision is all the result of
things just falling together
that’s like saying Webster’s dictionary
is the result of an explosion in a
Factory come on there’s got to be
something more but let me just tell you
how I conditioned my mind for wealth I
believe that we can tap in we can
attract more in our lives when we
connect ourselves mentally and condition
ourselves for that abundance so I say to
myself is this God’s wealth is
circulating in my life his wealth flows
to me in a Valencia of abundance all my
needs desires and goals are met
instantaneously for I am one with God
and God is everything and I would say
this to myself over and over and over
and over again I would go run down the
beach for a couple of miles saying this
to myself with all the intensity of
feeling I could generate that’s one of
the major reasons I believe that in 12
months I went from totally broke to a
million dollar net worth because I
didn’t just hope I created a level of
certainty in my body that total
financial abundance was a part of every
cell every thought every feeling and
things began to jump out at me and I
began to attract them now that may sound
real metaphysical it may sound weird to
you but anyone that I’ve met who has
created great financial abundance it’s
not only decided what they want but
they’ve begun to condition themselves
daily to have that level of abundance
where it felt right for them and that’s
what I did with myself I offer you the
opportunity if it’s worthwhile for you
or you can correct it change the
language so it works for you but please
condition yourself for the abundance you
deserve step 3
get some role models find out what to do
and get yourself a great vehicle one way
to get a vehicle sit down and write down
what is it you love to do most in the
world to see I think financial abundance
comes from doing what you love most
doing it massively
and making sure that in your doing it it
creates tremendous value for other
people if you do those things
effectively you’re gonna have financial
abundance so if you’re looking for a
vehicle what do you love to do most
number one number two how could you do
it in a way where other people would
benefit and be willing to make an
investment to take part in something
that you love I mean that’s what I’ve
had the good fortune of doing by asking
that question question three is how
could you do it massively so you could
reach tons of people and make a major
difference and hopefully get paid well
in the process and then fourthly how
could you do it intelligently so
that once you’ve done all the stuff and
you’ve worked so hard you’ve helped
those people there’s something called
profit when you’re done there are lots
of possibilities for vehicles and there
are lots of models if you already want
to stay right where you are and do very
well financially again call or write us
we’ll teach you some models come to our
seminars or find somebody who you
respect locally and model them or go to
somebody else’s program whatever it
takes
please get yourself a model that’s how
you’ll know what to do for make sure
that on an ongoing basis you experience
yourself as a giver and I save this for
last because I want you to remember this
I believe that the bottom line of
financial success comes from your
believing in your gut that you deserve
everything that you’ve got in your life
now that may sound egotistical but the
reality is you got to feel like you
deserve it or it won’t stay you won’t
attract it my way of generating I
deserve it came in many ways number one
I deserve it because I’m alive just as
much as I deserve to grow mentally
emotionally and my relationships and my
intellect all those things I think I
deserve to grow so why would finances be
any different in addition I deserve it
because I’m a giver because I always
tried to give much more than I would
expect back these tapes are an example I
hope you can feel I’m trying to give you
10,000 percent of myself at each and
every time here I’m committed to Gavin
you get much much more a hundred times
more a minimum of ten times more than
you’ve invested in this program and I
know for a fact if you’ve really been
listening that you agree with me the
bottom line is by knowing you’re always
trying to get much more you feel like
whatever comes back yeah hey I’ve earned
it I deserve it and it’s great now some
people might say well you shouldn’t have
to earn it you should just accept it
well that’s a great strategy to do if
that works for you do whatever works but
make sure that you give so you got to
take at least 10% of what you earn and
give it away minimum now some people say
well Tony when I make more money then
I’ll give 10% who are you getting what
do you think is harder to give a dime
out of a dollar or a hundred thousand
out of a million trust me the hundred
thousand will feel quite a bit different
than the dime out of the dollar if you
don’t develop the habits now you
certainly won’t do it on the number
get bigger listen go get yourself a book
simple book it’s called the richest man
in Babylon it’s by George claisen it’s a
very old classic very small you can read
it in a short time it’s like a series of
short stories that’ll teach you how to
use money through allegory it’ll teach
you three basic principles one it’ll
teach you no matter how much money you
make or don’t make take 10% of it and
give it away immediately why it doesn’t
say this but this is what I believe when
you give away a percentage of what you
have it teaches your subconscious mind
that there’s more than enough boy that’s
a great belief to instal cuz once it
believes that your subconscious mind
will create that reality in your life it
makes you feel like a giver and we all
deserve to have that feeling of pleasure
of being a giver not a taker – it’ll
tell you to take 10% of what you earn
and use it to reduce your debts payoff
mastercharge Visa Arnold’s linoleum
whatever it takes and three take 10% and
save it up to invest no matter how small
it is you can’t believe what some of the
investments are they’re available out
there there are things that take almost
no money you could get started with and
begin to build your wealth but make sure
you give and here’s the fifth step that
I want you to take to really condition
yourself for wealth and move to the next
level and that is create experiences
with money that create tremendous
pleasure and joy for yourself and the
people around you give to yourself be
willing to really do that and watch your
financial picture change in other words
you can’t expect to work that hard make
a lot of money and then never get any
pleasure out of it just put it in CDs or
just invested or just give it away and
never feel that direct connection of
pleasure your brain won’t do it forever
so you might take a certain amount of
your money and it’s just mad money
you’re just gonna go out and do stupid
fun things that maybe in the past used
to make yourself wrong for you’re gonna
go play that’s play money and if you do
that you can’t believe it’ll happen your
pain will go yeah adults make some more
money we can have some more place more
pleasure and it’ll enhance your life in
virtually every way remember if you have
financial abundance it’s because you
deserve it if you’ve lived by your
values and you’ve truly given yourself
each day
try to add major value to other people’s
lives and you’ve had a decent vehicle
you will develop financial abundance
you’ll have financial access now the
challenge with that is what people
thinks when they hear excess is too much
but in this case you’ve got to realize
that your excess is the result of you
giving much more than what’s even shown
up it’s a great scorecard for the value
you’ve added in other people’s lives and
as a result you have even more on your
own as well there is no need to create
limits on yourself let yourself grow
well beyond your past limits and create
the abundance you deserve here’s your
assignment for today
you got another assignment why not we’re
on a roll the last assignment is this as
you turn the tape off let me give you a
ten day challenge I know I’ve given you
some daily challenges like your morning
questions but just for 10 days and start
it today would you be willing to take a
minute or two and begin to condition
your mind for financial possibility by
doing the following writing down simply
three ideas on how to make money three
new ideas either something that already
exists that you haven’t been paying
attention to before or a brand new idea
a concept for a service or a business or
an investment or a possibility or an
invention anything at all and let me
give you one caveat maybe a bunch of
your ideas won’t be worthwhile who cares
how many ideas do you need to be able to
create financial abundance one or two
good ones that’s it and that’s all you
need is one so if you did this for ten
days you’ll have 30 ideas at the end of
10 days plus you’ll done something else
you’ll established a conditioned mental
pattern or habit of looking for
financial opportunity and you certainly
deserve that if you keep looking you’re
liable to find something and if you find
something you’re liable to follow
through and if you follow through you’re
liable to make some major money and then
you want to focus on money you’ll be
able to just have that abundance and be
able to focus on whatever you hold is most important now so go for it
