Are You Living In Your Financial Comfort Zone? |
One of the most startling discoveries I made once I embarked on my path of personal growth were the self-sabotaging attitudes I had towards wealth.
This is something that has also shocked many of my clients once they made the realisation that they were simply not comfortable with money.
But this isn't just a general dislike of money but rather an unconscious preset limit, which many of us have decided is the figure that we cannot go beyond.
To prove this point take the following test.
1. For the next ten seconds imagine earning 10% more than you do now and as you do notice how that makes you feel.
2. For the next ten seconds imagine earning DOUBLE your present salary, actually picture your next salary check with double your present income, as you do again notice how you feel.
When answering these two questions most people usually have no problem with imagining what it would be like to earn 10% more than their present salary, however once they started thinking about higher figures many often become increasingly tense and uncomfortable with the idea.
If you experienced feelings similar to this it is very possible that you have just encountered your financial comfort zone.
This is why you are struggling with your finances, unable to grow your business and still waiting for that salary increase.
You are not experiencing financial abundance because on some mental level it's simply not okay for you to earn more than a certain amount.
This all stems from the conditioned beliefs you developed during childhood about money, which have manifested into the present financial circumstances you are now experiencing.
So how do you get out of this dilemma?
There are several practical things you can do to breakout of the financial comfort zone you are currently in, some of which are detailed as follows.
- Make a conscious decision to be wealthy
Make a declaration in writing that you are going to wealthy and include a specific figure of your desired net worth and date for when this will occur.
- Get financially literate
Start reading and studying books about money, do this until you truly understand the key principles of wealth creation. Books such as The One Minute Millionaire, Richest Man in Babylon, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and Think and Grow Rich. By reading these great works you will be developing the knowledge and skills necessary to creating your financial base.
- Change your limiting beliefs about wealth to empowering ones
To ensure that you are able to develop a sound financial future it will be necessary for you to change the limiting beliefs you have about money. This for many can be an immense challenge in itself; however there are several techniques available that allow you to do this.
Once you’ve eliminated your outdated beliefs about wealth you will find that your financial circumstances shift into a whole new direction.
After completing these three steps you will breakthrough to whole new level of prosperity as you move beyond your present financial boundaries and are no longer constrained by the limitations created by your past conditioning.
