Do you have beliefs that limit your ability to achieve or accept wealth?

If you do, don’t feel alone, because self-limiting beliefs may be the greatest obstacle we must overcome before we can create wealthy lives. Here’s a great god-awful list of internal resistance to wealth/self-limiting beliefs I’ve pulled together from various humans:

• Notions of wealth as evil
• Having excess cash seen as greedy
• Feeling undeserving of wealth
• Guilt at making money too easily
• Belief that the only way to make more money is through harder work
• Selling your talents is seen as prostituting them
• Fear of appearing that you’re “only in it for the money”
• Believing that a regular job is the only way to security
• Fear of the complications money will bring
• taxes
• need for security (alarms,etc.)
• being taken
• financial matters - investments, banking
• insurance
• bookkeeping
• The concept that for you to win, someone else must lose
• Fear of losing what you have now
• Fear of losing friends or contact with “real” people
• Fear of being taken advantage of by relatives, others
• Fear of losing your soul
• Raised to believe “those things weren’t meant for people like us”
• People asking, “Who do you think you are?”
• Doubt that people will love you for who you are, but what you’re worth

All of these negative imprints on your mind can be overcome, but it may not be easy. The first step is really digging down inside you and recognizing your limiting beliefs or emotions. Start with the list above. If any of them apply to you ask yourself how realistic the belief is … if you find you have a true concern (not just a nagging thought that you can erase once you’ve recognized it) then take the steps needed to overcome it.

We’ll work on some ideas about how to do that in future posts. Just don’t wait until then to start thinking rich.
