You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth

by Jen Sincero

People love to tell you what you should and shouldn’t want, regardless of how you feel about it. Even worse, we’re so malleable, if we listen to them long enough we’ll tell ourselves what we should and shouldn’t want, regardless of how we feel deep down.

We’d rather do what’s expected of us than give ourselves permission to be, do, and have what feels good and right and awesome.

One of the biggest obstacles to making lots of money is not a lack of good ideas or opportunities or time, or that we’re too slovenly or stupid, it’s that we refuse to give ourselves permission to become rich.

When did it become an either/or situation?

if you do it correctly, you’ll be able to afford to spend even more time on such merriments. And do it in style!

Everybody arrives on this planet with unique desires, gifts, and talents, and as you journey through life, your job is to discover what yours are, to nurture them and to bloom into the most authentic, gleeful, and badassiest version of yourself.

RICH: Able to afford all the things and experiences required to fully experience your most authentic life.

There will never be a lack of conflicting opinions and information when it comes to any decision you make in life,

Desire literally means de sire, “of the father,” and whether or not you believe in God, your desires were bestowed upon you when you became your earthly self,

They are unique to you, they define the essence of who you are, and they act as the road map for your life.

Your desires were given to you by the Universal Intelligence that created everything in existence with the express purpose of being carried out by you during your lifetime.

All of nature is forever moving, growing, changing, reproducing, evolving—it’s all the rage, even the damn Universe itself is expanding. Likewise, you are not meant to just survive, to stay stagnant, to settle; you are meant to keep growing and thrive.

you too are meant to reach your fullest expression of the you that is you, to inspire and birth awesomeness in others, and to use whatever resources you need along the way.

Instead of complaining and freaking out about the power-mongering, greed-obsessed fatheads who are perpetrating such harm on the planet, and handing them even more power by staying broke because you don’t want to be like them, why not focus yourself on getting rich instead so you can make a big difference?

You cannot give what you do not have, so if you want to help others you have to take care of yourself first.

I’ve been broke and sad, rich and sad, broke and happy, rich and happy, and I’ll take the rich version over the broke version all day long.

Take a deep breath, trust your desires, and embrace the fact that your quest for riches is a quest to become more of who you truly are.

I love money because I love myself.

give at least ten answers to each of the following: Make a list of all the reasons why you deserve money. Make a list of some beautiful things that have happened in this world thanks to money. Make a list of all the awesome things and experiences money will add to your life. Make a list of how you being rich will benefit others.

When it comes to forming, and transforming, our human experience, the power of the mind reigns supreme over any type of external “truths.”

Our beliefs, along with our thoughts and words, are at the root of everything we experience in life, which is why consciously choosing what rolls around in your mind and falls out of your mouth is one of the most important things you can do.

their conscious mind talking, and that deep down we all have our subconscious mind, which is the motherboard that controls all of our results.

The subconscious mind is like a seven-year-old prince who suddenly becomes king when his father dies: He’s running the kingdom of your adult life based on information that he gathered, and processed, while doing somersaults and pulling down his pants in the front yard.

The subconscious mind’s number one concern is survival.

Most people have no idea that they’ve got all these underlying beliefs holding them back. They’re only aware (somewhat) of their conscious thoughts, so they work on those and leave the real culprit beneath undisturbed.

When you change who you’re being, you’re basically killing off your old identity, which completely freaks your subconscious self out.

Along with our overbearing Little Prince, the quest for Earthly security holds people back from living the lives of their dreams more than almost anything else, and the ridiculous part is it doesn’t even exist!

being alive is risky. Allow yourself to experience whatever your heart desires as if this is your one and only chance to take the ride of your life.

Our perception of reality is also greatly influenced by our words. Words bring our thoughts and beliefs to life and help anchor them into our “realities” through repetition.

Because we are creatures of habit who tend to have our words on repeat, they become like a chisel that forms grooves in our minds, playing the same stories over and over, anchoring in our thoughts and beliefs and defining our reality.

what I love about the phrase stuck in a rut—you’re literally stuck in a rut or a groove of thought, beliefs, and words, and in order to free yourself, you need to consciously create a new groove, and a great place to start is by getting yourself some new, better words.

Language defines and shapes our perception of reality by giving it an understandable structure.

according to Einstein, time is an illusion, it’s flexible, nonlinear,

Your thoughts inspire emotions that inspire action that forms your “reality.”

We are creatures who are driven by emotion. When we’re all fired up, we ain’t listening to nothing else, not wisdom and logic or fear and doubt.

Your beliefs are driving the bus. They take you where you’re going whether you’re paying attention or not.

all these facets of your mind, body, and spirit are in alignment, focused on the same desire,

All members of team mindset must be on the field bringing their A game, yet it’s your thoughts, and I hate to play favorites here, that are the biggest badasses of them all.

Our thoughts are linked to the invisible energy that makes up all that is, and they help mold it into that which we experience on the physical plane.

All information, physical, mental, and spiritual, originates from the same source: Universal Intelligence.

When you don’t investigate what’s going on with your words, thoughts, and beliefs, you risk stumbling through life on autopilot.

In the words of the late, great Ayn Rand: Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.

Money always comes to you through other people, but it comes from Universal Intelligence, as do all things. Which is why focusing on the frequency of your thoughts, not the people you hope to make money from, is the key to getting rich.

Not only is it none of your business to try to make anyone do anything, but focusing on a particular person who may or may not be the conduit for the money you seek potentially cuts you off from the person with the big bag of money that the Universe is trying to connect you to.

Money is a renewable resource. It comes and goes, it ebbs and flows, it’s meant to move.

I’m an excellent coachee—I love to learn and challenge myself, I’m malleable, motivated once I make a decision, terrified of getting in trouble for not doing my work, etc.

the moment I switched how I was thinking, when I went from No way to There must be a way in a flash, I suddenly realized what was perhaps the biggest obstacle that had been holding me back from making money for my entire life.

This is the feeling you’re going for when you make a huge leap in your life: equal parts excitement and terror.

Figure out something you can do right now that will take you a giant step closer to your goal of getting rich. Make sure it’s something scary, something that you’d really rather not do because it’s super uncomfy,

Notice any limiting subconscious beliefs that may get scared out of hiding as a result, and if you have anything come forth, write it down.
