What you think and how you think about money goes a long way to determine if you will make it and how much.

Here are some limiting beliefs that hold people back: (short thread)
1. It is hard to make money.

This is far from the truth.

Money follows the creation and delivery of value like @praisegeorge always says.

What most people find hard to do is how to create and deliver value

Master this little piece and the game changes for you.
2. You must suffer to make money.

Another limiting belief.

People love to embrace rags to riches story so they hope their suffering will attract money.

Again, no.

Money is a function of the creation and delivery of value.
3. Making TOO MUCH MONEY is bad.

We see it everyday.

People hating on billionaires.

"How dare they make so much while the world suffers?"

Again, this is a limiting belief.

Money is just an exchange of value.

Finish.

It has no emotions. Has no morals.

Just an exchange.
4. I should be paid my worth!

This assumption is the reason many intelligent and smart people are working so hard and making so little.

You are not paid what you are worth, you are paid what you demand.

You only get what you negotiate, not what you deserve.
If you deserve $1million and you negotiate $10,000, you are getting $10k.

When it comes to money, you don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

You are worth what you negotiate

The last point isn't a limiting belief, but the VITAL TRUTH about money:
5. Money works on the principle of giving.

And I am not talking about giving to the poor or any of those actions (they are important)

I'm talking about giving value.

Money responds to value.

You have to give something out for the money to come in.
Whenever you think of making money, start by asking what you can give out to attract or earn how much you want.

Don't just say, I want to make 1million.

Ask: "What problem can I solve, and to what value, to be able to earn 1 million?"

That is the real money question.
