Speaker 1 If you're tired of feeling stuck, broke, or like you're always one step behind, this is the shift that will change everything for

Speaker 1 you. I'm going to talk about these seven keys.
The first thing you've got to be thinking about is shifting your beliefs because wealth starts in the mind.

Speaker 1 It doesn't start anywhere else, but in your mind. And you're not broke because of your bank account.
You're broke because of your belief system.

Speaker 1 And most people hate hearing this. You're not broke because of what's in your bank account.
You're broke because of what's in your belief system.

Speaker 1 But it all does make sense when you start to reflect and let your guard and your ego down and allow yourself to be self-aware. Because most of us aren't self-aware.

Speaker 1 We're living on autopilot and reacting and stressed and overwhelmed.

Speaker 1 But when we replace limiting beliefs like I'm not good with money or rich people are greedy and bad or stingy with more empowering ones, more empowering beliefs, that's when everything should start to change.

Speaker 1 Okay. So you should be changing your language from, ah,

Speaker 1 this is bad or they're bad or I'm not good with this to it is possible for me. Here's a great person who's doing this.
I can do this as well. I'm learning how to do this.
I'm improving.

Speaker 1 I'm getting better. I'm improving on my mistakes.
You want to start asking, what do I really believe about being wealthy? What is this belief system that I have? And start assessing it.

Speaker 1 And then start being willing to tear things down. Just because you've seen that in some ways doesn't mean it's always.

Speaker 1 Now, there's an interesting story based on our belief system that I want you to hear about.

Speaker 1 I love this story from Wayne Dyer. Wayne Dyer used to get on stage and tell a story.
He'd walk on stage with an orange and he would start his speeches and say,

Speaker 1 when you squeeze an orange,

Speaker 1 what comes out of an orange? And he'd ask people, hey, when you squeeze this orange, what comes out?

Speaker 1 And he would say, does apple juice come out of an orange when you squeeze it? No.

Speaker 1 Does lemon juice come out of an orange? No.

Speaker 1 Well, what comes out of an orange when you squeeze it is orange juice? And he would say, because that's what's inside. That's what's inside of the orange is orange juice.

Speaker 1 And then he would say, what's inside of you?

Speaker 1 When there is pressure applied to you in your life,

Speaker 1 does anger, resentment, frustration, a negative attitude, a limiting belief, does it pour out of you energetically or verbally?

Speaker 1 Or when you're applied with pressure, does confidence, poise, patience, gratitude, resourcefulness, excitement, does that come out of you?

Speaker 1 Whatever comes out of you is what's inside of you. So you've got to be thinking about what is my limiting belief.
Well, start to reflect on the last month, the last year.

Speaker 1 How did you show up and respond in life? When you were smacked with a challenge or hit with an adversity, did you show up empowering and creative and excited to take on the challenge?

Speaker 1 Or were you defeated? Were you a victim? Were you frustrated? Were you pointing the finger and blaming everyone else around you?

Speaker 1 Whatever came out of you is what's inside of you. And we've got to be willing to shift the limiting belief.

Speaker 1 Shift the language from I should or I wish or maybe, because that language carries the energy of failure.

Speaker 1 Start eliminating the language that influences the limiting beliefs in you, and you'll start living a life. that is more empowering for you.

Speaker 1 Start thinking about this. This is the key to starting this for the next 30 minutes here.
The second key is that guilt is a wealth killer.

Speaker 1 You are destroying your ability to earn more when you live with the frequency and the energy of guilt. I always tell people that self-doubt is the killer of dreams.

Speaker 1 When you live with doubt, When you live with fear, when you live with guilt and shame, this is a lower level frequency.

Speaker 1 When you live with joy, when you live with gratitude, appreciation, love, it's a higher level frequency.

Speaker 1 And when you're living in a state of higher level energies and frequencies, you attract more of that frequency.

Speaker 1 And you're going to attract more opportunities, wealth, abundance, people that are the right people for you. When you're living in guilt, shame, resentment, anger, frustration, your energy shrinks.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 that is a killer for wealth. Money does not want to come to that.
Money is not attracted by someone in that frequency or that energy. That is a victim mindset and it's holding you back.

Speaker 1 So if you're feeling guilty about having money or even wanting more, this sabotages your ability to grow, to earn more, to be resourceful and creative, and to believe you're worthy and deserving of it.

Speaker 1 Wealth isn't a betrayal of your roots.

Speaker 1 If you grew up poor without a lot of money, money i didn't have a lot of money growing up it's not a betrayal it's a resource that you can use to lift yourself up and to lift others up around you but if you have a belief system that money is bad or people with money did bad things to get it and i don't want to be a bad person then you're blocking and holding yourself back because you're living in a a belief system that is a lower level frequency that will automatically resist great opportunities, that'll automatically push away people that want to help you, that automatically say, no, I don't want this.

Speaker 1 I want to stay in this state. You're saying one thing.
You say you want to have a better life. You want to make more money.

Speaker 1 But when you're energetically showing up every day with a negative attitude, guilt, shame, all these energies that hold you down, you're not in alignment with yourself, with what you want.

Speaker 1 Your body, your mind, your heart is living differently than what you want. Therefore, you will never be in alignment with the money coming to you.

Speaker 1 You will always be, ah, it's just slipping through my hands.

Speaker 1 So instead of feeling guilty, turn the mindset into one that is more grateful, one that is more giving, one that is more appreciative, one that says thank you to money.

Speaker 1 When money comes to me, I say thank you. I don't care if it's a penny or a lot of money.
I say thank you. And then I say, where do you want to go? How can I help you today?

Speaker 1 Do you want to go on my bank account? Do you want to go on an investment account? Do you want me to buy food with you? Do you want to give you away to someone who needs it right now?

Speaker 1 Is there a charity that I can give it to? Should I give you to my church? Where do you want to go right now? I got this from my friend Ken Honda when I interviewed him.

Speaker 1 He's got a book called Happy Money. He said, when money comes to me, I say thank you.
Where do you want to go? And that's something I started doing in my life. It might sound a little weird.

Speaker 1 It might sound a little woo-woo to speak to money like it's a person. I get it.
It's a little strange, but energy is everything. And energy doesn't lie.

Speaker 1 And the frequency that you show up with influences the material things around you, people,

Speaker 1 environments, money, everything. And again, it might sound a little weird, but when I started doing this, I started feeling more free.

Speaker 1 And I want you to feel this freedom as well. I want you to feel this peace in your heart because inner peace is the new rich.
So normalize success.

Speaker 1 Normalize, yeah, I earn more money because I'm working hard and I'm adding value. And stop apologizing for abundance when it flows to you.

Speaker 1 Stop saying sorry that you've made more, that you've earned more, that you're a magnet of opportunities, that you're a magnet of the right people, and things just fall in your lap seemingly like out of nowhere.

Speaker 1 It's because your frequency aligns with your vision of what you want. And so when your heart energy aligns up with it, it comes more effortlessly.

Speaker 1 But if you're out of integrity with this vision because you're not taking care of your health, it's going to be harder.

Speaker 1 If you're out of integrity with this vision because you put yourself last, it's going to be harder. If you're out of integrity with the vision of what you want to create financially or in your life,

Speaker 1 but you are constantly doubting yourself and putting yourself down in front of others and self-sabotaging, it's going to be harder. You've got to line up the energy of love, joy, possibilities,

Speaker 1 creativity, imagination, imagination, gratitude, generosity with the vision, not the energy or the frequency of guilt, shame,

Speaker 1 why is this happening to me? Victim mindset. That is not in alignment with the energy you need to attract the things you want in your life.
The third thing is that being wealthy is not the same thing.

Speaker 1 as earning money and having a high income. And I tell people, if you don't care for money, your money won't care for you.
Making money is not the same thing as keeping it.

Speaker 1 It's not the same thing as investing in it wisely. And I want you to start shifting the way you're thinking about money and the relationship you have with it.

Speaker 1 Again, my friend Ken Honda says, you know, when money comes to you, thank it and say, where do you want to go? You have to create almost an energetic emotional relationship with it.

Speaker 1 And it's a little signal saying, when you say thank you for something, you're telling that thing energetically, I appreciate you. Thank you.
I appreciate you.

Speaker 1 If something comes to you and you say, ah, should have been more. Ah, I'm frustrated with you.
Ah, why are you giving me this?

Speaker 1 You're resisting more of that thing because you're not appreciating it. So as little, as weird as this might sound or like a little thing, every time money comes to you, just say thank you.

Speaker 1 Here's a good example of what

Speaker 1 is so in our nature and our culture to do this but i really feel like it's blocking you and i have friends that um

Speaker 1 will go out to to dinner sometimes and i like to pay for people for dinner or lunch and often i'll pay right and most of the time i'll just take the bill and i'll just give the card and just say i'm paying

Speaker 1 And so many times these friends say, no, no, no, no, no,

Speaker 1 let me pay. Let me help.
Let me give something. Let me do this.
And I get it culturally. It's a great gesture because you don't want someone to say,

Speaker 1 yeah, go ahead, pay for me every time and expect it because that's not an appreciation either.

Speaker 1 But when they like go on for minutes or like 10 minutes and like, no, no, no, please, please, please, here's the money. Like

Speaker 1 they're lacking the appreciation also. They're lacking the ability for me to give to them.
They're almost resisting. abundance.
They're resisting the flow of generosity.

Speaker 1 Now, I'm not saying, you know, if this happens 10 times in a row or five times in a row, and they're just like, oh, Lewis is going to pay for me. I never have to contribute.
That's a different thing.

Speaker 1 But learning to say, if someone's willing to pay for you,

Speaker 1 oftentimes you can just say, thank you so much. You don't have to do that.
I appreciate it. I welcome it.
And I'm grateful for your generosity. Thank you so much.
Can I contribute anything to this?

Speaker 1 I'd love to contribute. No, I've got it.
Okay. Thank you so much.
I receive. There's a courtesy to say, hey, I would love to contribute.
Can I contribute?

Speaker 1 But it's like going on for minutes and saying, please let me pay. It's like this, this energy that is holding you back from receiving.
And when someone does that for you, pay it forward.

Speaker 1 Do that for a friend, a family member, a stranger. Like buy someone a cup of coffee, give a generous tip the next time.

Speaker 1 Pay it forward in your life. Allow that flow of giving and receiving and giving and receiving to circle with within you and outside of you.
So you're creating this flow. So I like to say thank you.

Speaker 1 And I also like to now learn how to receive because for so long when I started making money, this was part of my challenge. I felt guilty.
I felt like I had to pay for everything.

Speaker 1 And then I felt underappreciated when people didn't offer to pay for me after a while. And so it's like, it's a balance of learning how to give generously.

Speaker 1 and also not give expecting someone to pay in return. And if you don't want to pay the next time, you can just, hey, I'm going to pay for my part.
You pay your part. That's fine too.

Speaker 1 Don't feel guilty about having more. And don't feel guilty if someone wants to pay for you.
Appreciate it. Appreciate the money when it comes to you.
Say thank you. Where can I put you?

Speaker 1 How can I best add value to your life? Just a little psychological game you can play with yourself to say thank you to money, whether it's a penny or a thousand dollars. Thank you for being here.

Speaker 1 Where should you go? Where is going to be a best service to you? Where's going to add the most value to you and what we're creating in the vision of my life together?

Speaker 1 Let's be in this relationship, this energetic relationship. The same thing.

Speaker 1 You don't have to feel guilty if someone's providing for you as well. Say thank you and then pay it forward.
That's your duty and obligation. Pay it forward.

Speaker 1 The fourth thing is to invest first, then spend second.

Speaker 1 Man, for so many years, I used to just, how can I get money? And then just go spend it because I didn't have any of it. It's like, I need to go buy this.
I need this.

Speaker 1 And there's a time when you're kind of in like survival mode, when you're just going day by day.

Speaker 1 You can't think invest first, then spend it. Sometimes you just need to spend to survive.
And so I 100% get that. But we need to

Speaker 1 flip this idea of investing first, then spending in a different way. And people tend to value us only as much as we value ourselves.

Speaker 1 And so psychologically, emotionally, how can I invest in myself first

Speaker 1 in certain ways? It doesn't even have to be be money, but how can I invest in me?

Speaker 1 Whether it be learning some new skill, whether it be overcoming a fear, whether it be investing in a relationship from a mentor or coach who can help me learn more about money or opportunities or a career or a skill set.

Speaker 1 It's investing in learning, development, education, mentorship, coaching. And if you don't have any money, there's so much free content.
This is a free investment for you right now.

Speaker 1 This content right here, me, my team, the editors, the production, the setup, we researched this content to give you valuable information. And it's free.

Speaker 1 If you're on your phone or you can watch it on a library at a computer for free, and you can click play and watch this, you're learning this. You're investing in you.

Speaker 1 So not all investments take money, but it does require you. to show up and learn and develop yourself, your inner and outer world.

Speaker 1 So the more you can do that by investing in you, the better. Alex Hermosi shared a story once that he paid $350,000 for a single hour of advice from someone worth billions.

Speaker 1 And the biggest takeaway from that session, he said, was to protect your reputation with your life.

Speaker 1 Now you might say to yourself, well, Lewis, I don't need to spend $300 something thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 to understand the lesson that you protect your reputation with your life from a guy worth billions of dollars. But my good friend Dean Graciosi says that you pay attention to what you pay for.

Speaker 1 And the more you pay for something, the more you're going to pay attention, the more you're going to follow through on that thing. And someone might hear that.

Speaker 1 Oh, protect your reputation with your life. They might hear that somewhere.
They might read that somewhere, but it doesn't sink in fully unless they invested in that, unless they paid for that.

Speaker 1 Then they're going to really listen and apply that lesson from that person that they paid from. Because if that, if they're paying someone,

Speaker 1 whether it be their course, their book, their program, their event, their coaching, if they're paying them and they're essentially telling you, this is the blueprint.

Speaker 1 This is what has helped me get to this level of success in my career or relationship or health that you are looking to get to in your life right now.

Speaker 1 And this is what I, coach, mentor, leader has done, that you need to do this.

Speaker 1 And he's probably, he or she's probably saying it because they maybe made a big mistake that hurt them, that cost them a lot of time and money from that thing.

Speaker 1 So when you invest in this and you get that information, he said, you know, protect your reputation with your life. My friend Dean Graciosi says, you pay attention to what you pay for.
And

Speaker 1 the more you pay, the more you pay attention. I remember I spent 10 grand on a two-day workshop once

Speaker 1 from a friend of mine. He's a friend of mine, a kind of a peer in the industry.
And I paid 10 grand just because I was like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 I just feel like even though I probably know a lot of what he's going to say and teach, like I've watched his content, I know him personally.

Speaker 1 We do similar things. I'm like, if there's a couple things that I could learn that could help me really unlock the next level of financial opportunity in my business, then it's worth 10 grand.

Speaker 1 And I went for two days and there was a lot of things that I already knew.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of things that I was already doing but there were a few things i was like oh yeah i'm not doing that that's a good reminder and then there was like one or two things that i was like oh if we just do this in the next 30 days it should generate hundreds of thousands of more dollars just by doing this one thing

Speaker 1 and that ten thousand dollars i paid attention for those two days and i found a couple things that i needed to do and i took action on those things and the business started to grow and again pay attention to what you pay for.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I encourage you to invest in yourself first before you spend on yourself first.

Speaker 1 The fifth thing, write a new financial identity.

Speaker 1 Mel Robbins says you are one decision away from a completely different life.

Speaker 1 And I want you to

Speaker 1 declare a new identity. I want you to

Speaker 1 think about all the stuff that you've lived in your life up until this moment of who you are. That is your identity.
And now we're going to declare something new. And it might seem so far away.

Speaker 1 It might seem like, oh, I can't, it's going to take me years until I become this, but you're going to declare it right now. I'm someone who attracts, who manages, and multiplies money.

Speaker 1 And start each day reaffirming your commitment to a wealth building action of this identity. And if you want to use that as an example, I am someone who attracts, manages, and multiplies money.

Speaker 1 That can be a new identity around money for you that you just want to say. Create the identity that you want that speaks to you.

Speaker 1 And we got to start rewriting your money story. Again, I talk about this in my book, that your money story dictates your money personality style.

Speaker 1 Your money style dictates the money you have in your life and whether you're blocking yourself from creating abundance or you're opening the opportunities for money to come to you.

Speaker 1 So we talk about rewriting your money story, how to rewrite this and how to really mend the psychological wound around money that you might have in the book, Make Money Easy.

Speaker 1 But you got to rewrite your money story to create a new financial identity, an identity that serves and supports your greater goals.

Speaker 1 So if you're looking to start creating a more abundant worthy identity, the best way that I've learned how to do this in the past is to write a contract for yourself, an identity contract.

Speaker 1 This is something I learned in a workshop

Speaker 1 about 12 years ago: that if you want to create an abundant life, you have to create a new contract with yourself, a spiritual contract.

Speaker 1 So, for many years, I felt unlovable, unworthy. I felt like I had to project my ego to fit in.

Speaker 1 I felt like I had to act like someone I wasn't from an egoic place rather than a soul spiritual alignment place

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 i was able to create more i was able to be successful i was able to earn more i was able to build followers but inside i felt unlovable i felt like i was never enough and so therefore i suffered because the external world did not match the internal world there was an out of alignment and out of integrity with how i thought spoke, felt about me, with what I was creating.

Speaker 1 And I was creating from a wound.

Speaker 1 Now, it doesn't mean that wound didn't give me incredible energy and fire and drive to go succeed, but it left me feeling more and more unhappy the more I made, the more I accomplished, the more I succeeded.

Speaker 1 And I just said, I need to make more to fill this hole of unworthiness. And 12 years ago, I went to an emotional intelligence workshop.

Speaker 1 that had tons of different exercises that really helped transform the way I thought and helped me set up success with the School of Greatness, with writing three New York Times bestsellers.

Speaker 1 After I was unable to essentially read and write growing up for many years and almost flunked out of English in high school.

Speaker 1 So many things that I was struggling with that allowed me to attract an amazing romantic partner, being married, all these different things and feeling healthy and happy.

Speaker 1 It doesn't mean I'm perfect and I don't have challenges from time to time, but it's given me a lot more peace than when I was 12 years ago.

Speaker 1 And it was this idea of creating a spiritual identity contract with myself.

Speaker 1 And my contract is three words. I am a loving, passionate, wise man.

Speaker 1 Yes, I am. I am a loving, passionate, wise man.

Speaker 1 And the reason I created that contract, because 12 years ago, I was living with a lot of rage and a lot of anger in my life.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you've ever felt this personally, if you've felt angry or upset at the world or upset with previous partners or upset with family members.

Speaker 1 But I was living life with like a rage, like a rage inside.

Speaker 1 And it was coming on the outside. It was like, oh, this anger, frustration, resentment.

Speaker 1 Now I was a loving, happy guy, but also when you triggered me emotionally, that wound, boom, it created a reaction of anger and frustration.

Speaker 1 And so I was like, I need to turn this anger into love. I am loving.

Speaker 1 Passionate. I was driven.
I was like driven to succeed and win at all costs. It was like compete to win.

Speaker 1 But I didn't learn winning through passion and through collaboration, right? It was like, I need to win and someone else needs to lose.

Speaker 1 I didn't understand, oh, I can win and others can win around me because there's an abundance. There's more for all of us.
We can all win as long as we collaborate to support one another.

Speaker 1 So that turned from competition to passion.

Speaker 1 And wise.

Speaker 1 The reason I'm wise is because for years, I just felt I was dumb. I felt I was stupid.
I felt like I was never going to be smart, that everything was a struggle. And it was.

Speaker 1 So my experiences confirmed my limiting belief that every time I tried something, it was just so hard. I never remembered things.
No matter how much I studied, I couldn't get a freaking C on a test.

Speaker 1 It was always a D or an F. It was just like hard.
It hurt my brain to open a book and read. It was just challenging.
And I just believed I was dumb.

Speaker 1 So I had to wear a mask in my life to try to project confidence in other ways. Let me use my sports background.
Let me use this success, whatever it is to project. Hey, I'm not dumb.

Speaker 1 But deep down inside, I felt like a dumb little boy every day. So my contract became wise.
I'm a loving, passionate, wise man.

Speaker 1 And I didn't believe it right away. It's not like, oh, all of a sudden I'm like this intelligent human being that's just download all the information of the universe and I know everything.

Speaker 1 It's not like, but notice I didn't say smart. I said wise.
Because I think wisdom is an even greater symbol of intelligence. It's a knowingness.
It's a deeper feeling. It's an essence.

Speaker 1 It's an awareness of the world instead of a knowledge of things. And so I said, I am a loving, passionate, wise man.
And I started saying that every day. I started saying it out loud.

Speaker 1 I started saying it to myself internally. And I, and if I ever doubted myself, I went back to my spiritual identity contract.

Speaker 1 And that contract is, I'm a loving, passionate, wise man. Yes, I am.
And what is that contract for you? Think of three words that you want to embody. Maybe it's not going to happen overnight.

Speaker 1 But anytime you doubt yourself, anytime you limit yourself, you say your contract back to you. You can internalize it.
You can write it down.

Speaker 1 But the more you rewire the makeup within your mind, rewriting the story of the past, just saying, I'm overcoming these things. I'm becoming more.

Speaker 1 And look how much farther I've come from where I once was.

Speaker 1 I am these things. You're creating a contract with you.
And once you believe and start to speak that into existence, beautiful things start to happen.

Speaker 1 So write down this spiritual identity contract for yourself and who you want to become in all areas of life, but also financially.

Speaker 1 Number six, let go to receive more.

Speaker 1 Money is energy, and money amplifies who you are. So if you are a stingy, selfish person,

Speaker 1 Now when you make more money, you're going to become more of that stingy, selfish person.

Speaker 1 If you're a generous, kind, joyful person, now you're going to amplify that energy into the world when you have more money as well.

Speaker 1 Whoever you are, whatever's inside of you, more of that is amplified when you have money.

Speaker 1 So again, going back to that Wayne Dyer quote of the orange, whatever's inside of you, whatever you squeeze out of you, that comes out of you because that's what's inside of you.

Speaker 1 So when you hold on too tightly out of fear, it stops the flow of abundance. Don't hold on to it.
Don't hoard your money.

Speaker 1 Don't hold on to it too tightly because when you're holding on tightly to anything, it doesn't allow you to open your hands and receive more.

Speaker 1 And when you're holding on to it too tightly, you can't be generous because you're not letting go.

Speaker 1 So we need to allow the circulation of money and opportunities to come to us, but also have it with an open hand and say, okay, where do you want to go? Some of you can go here.

Speaker 1 Some of this can go here. I'm going to keep some of you to invest.
It's going to grow and help my future self continue to grow, but allow it to be a flow. Say thank you for coming.

Speaker 1 If you want to go right now, okay. If you want to stay with me, great.
Thanks. Because I know more is going to keep coming and I'm going to keep being generous.

Speaker 1 It's this feeling of flow, this feeling of energetic flow where you don't want to hold on to it too tightly out of fear that you're going to lose it.

Speaker 1 And when I was making a lot of money early on, I was afraid. I was like, I need to work harder.
I was up all night working nonstop and I was afraid to lose it. And I just hoarded it.

Speaker 1 Again, I didn't have a car. I was living in a little apartment.
I was taking like greyhound buses.

Speaker 1 I was taking, you know, middle seat, multiple connection flights because I just wanted to spend the cheapest amount I could to travel anywhere when I had a lot of money in the bank account.

Speaker 1 Now, I'm not saying you should overspend and overextend yourself, but if you're holding on to it so tightly, you're just hurting yourself and blocking that flow. And the seventh and final thing,

Speaker 1 speak wealth into existence.

Speaker 1 All the money everybody needs and wants is waiting there for them. And there's only one reason it's not in their lives.
It's because they're stopping it from coming into their lives.

Speaker 1 That's a quote from Rhonda Byrne from The Secret. And I want you to stop saying, I'm broke.
I can't afford it. I'm not good with money.
And instead, start saying, I'm learning to manage wealth.

Speaker 1 I'm learning to understand money more effortlessly. Money flows to me easily.
I'm building my financial know-how.

Speaker 1 I'm excited to continue to learn the things that I don't understand.

Speaker 1 Instead of, I don't get this, it's just so hard to understand.

Speaker 1 I'm excited to learn these things that most people struggle with, including my past self. I'm excited that I'm learning more and more every single day.

Speaker 1 Your language shapes your subconscious and your results in your life. I'm going to end with this story.
When I was broke on my sister's couch, I found a mentor that I started working for.

Speaker 1 And I actually worked for this mentor.

Speaker 1 I worked out of a closet of the kitchen of where they were working in their office because they had no room. And they put me in the closet.

Speaker 1 They literally cleared out the cleaning supplies in the closet, put a little chair and a little desk. It had like a little thing off the wall.
And I was doing phone calls and on my computer in there.

Speaker 1 And people would walk behind me to get into the kitchen and grab the food. So I was like in the way of the flow of people walking in the kitchen.
And I worked out of a closet. I was happy to be there.

Speaker 1 I was happy to have an opportunity to learn, to work, to add value. I'm not complaining about the closet.

Speaker 1 But after about six months of working really hard and I was trying to build my own thing, I was interning for him. We would go on walks every week.

Speaker 1 And I would just ask him questions because part of my payment was I could just go on a walk with him once a week, ask him questions and get coached and mentored by him when he had free time.

Speaker 1 And I was like, I'm in, let's do it. So we'd go on walks and I'd ask him all these questions.
And after about six months of this, he was like, how are things going? I go, man, it's hard.

Speaker 1 I'm still broke. I have no money.
I'm working hard. I'm trying to develop skills.
I'm trying to do all these things, but it's just, I'm not making any money.

Speaker 1 Six months, like, yeah, it's just not working.

Speaker 1 And he goes, money comes to you when you're ready for it. His name's Chris Hawker.

Speaker 1 He said, money comes to you when you're ready for it and i'm walking down the street with him and i go i feel pretty ready for money right now like i feel i'm pretty broke i'm like

Speaker 1 give me some money or money comes to me i'm gonna be pretty ready for it he just kept saying money comes to you when you're ready for it and i didn't understand what he meant until about a year and a half two years later

Speaker 1 Because I started to make some money a year and a half, two years later. And once I started to unlock the money switch, it started to really turn on.
And I was able to like generate pretty quickly.

Speaker 1 It took a while to figure out, but once I unlocked it, it was like,

Speaker 1 it's like, I know kung fu from the matrix. It was like, I know how to make money.
It was like it finally downloaded. It was like, oh, this is what you need to do.
I'm just going to do this every day.

Speaker 1 And I was like, Neo from the Matrix, I know Kung Fu.

Speaker 1 But a year and I reflected back a year and a half, two years before then, and I was like, money comes to you when you're ready for it. I was like,

Speaker 1 gosh, dang it, he was right. I didn't like to hear that because I just wanted someone to give me money, but I would have blown it because I wasn't ready for it.
I would have spent it, not invested it.

Speaker 1 I would have blown through it all and been back to zero pretty quickly because I didn't learn the emotional, psychological, or financial tools that I needed to create more of it.

Speaker 1 And it wasn't until I was ready to receive it, that's when it started to unlock.

Speaker 1 And then I started to make more and more and more. And the thing is, once you unlock the money switch, there's new levels of learning around money.

Speaker 1 You might be able to take it to a certain level until you feel a block. You go back to a limiting, a new limiting belief that is holding you at this certain level of financial success and opportunity.

Speaker 1 And then you're going to be maybe stuck there for a while saying, ah, why am I not breaking through the next level of this financial growth? And then always have to go back to step one of this video.

Speaker 1 You have to go back to step one, re-watch this, re-listen to this, take notes again, and go back to step one. What in your mind? is holding you back.
What is limiting you at this level?

Speaker 1 What is the belief that you have that you can only be at this level and not break free to the next level?

Speaker 1 And it may not be, I need to make tons more money, but how can you create that inner peace with where you're at financially?

Speaker 1 Again, so if you go back to the start of this video, you re-watch this over and over again, you take notes and you apply this and you apply this, the lessons from this video.

Speaker 1 And again, if you dive deeper in Make Money Easy in this book about understanding your money story, you're going to create freedom every time you feel blocked to create new opportunities in your life.

Speaker 1 And I want you to remember this. I want you to remember this, that the key is not how do I have more right now?

Speaker 1 How do I make more right now? How do I become financially free right now? That's not the key. The key is to really set yourself up for a lifetime of financial freedom.

Speaker 1 But first, you need to create that inner freedom within you. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and it inspired you on your journey towards greatness.
