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

by Jen Sincero

Time wasted rationalizing the mediocre could be time spent creating the magnificent.

People love to tell you what you should and shouldn’t want, regardless of how you feel about it.

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

Pigging out on money and things and experiences is also based in fear and lack—fear of never having enough, fear of not being secure, fear of being unlovable, trying to fill a bottomless hole in your heart. Nothing in excess is healthy:

You denying yourself your heart’s desires is not noble, it’s a waste of some damn good desires. And it denies the world our only opportunity to bask in more of you.

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

There is no such thing as too much awesome.

Start paying attention to any disparaging comments that may fly out of your mouth, or your mind, when it comes to rich folk, because if you plan on becoming one of them it’s gonna be a whole lot easier if you actually approve of who you’re becoming.

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.

Your external world is a mirror of your internal world.

The walls of your comfort zone are lovingly decorated with your lifelong collection of favorite excuses.

reminding you of it in hopes of liberating you from the pointless, oftentimes life-sucking trap of sacrificing living your dreams for false security.

Trying to protect yourself from your fears protects you from experiencing a fully evolved and juicy life.

Find something that’s not serving you that you’ve been scared to let go of because of the security it provides, and take the first step in letting it go.

Universal Intelligence and your thoughts are basically the same force—just as the water droplet that lands in the ocean is part of the whole sea, so your thoughts exist as part of Universal Intelligence. In other words, you are one powerful motherfucker.

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

They’re very sneaky words because we tend to think we’re rather impressive for knowing things, when in reality, no matter how much we “know,” there are always more sides to the story, giant leaps of faith, and an infinite number of questions that could massively expand our awareness.

other thing “I know” does is shut us off from receiving information from Universal Intelligence.

people get so obsessed with their issues that they spend years journaling, going to retreats, weepily deconstructing their inner selves as an excuse not to take giant scary leaps forward.

take the time to imagine your life as the biggest, boldest, and most authentic expression of the you that is you, don’t be a cheapskate when it comes to taking inventory of what lights up your heart.

I wanted to be someone who created whatever I set my mind to instead of someone who settled for what I could get.

Shabby is as shabby does, so take one day, one little day, and spend it tending to raising the frequency of your surroundings.

If they’re stuck in fear about you changing your life, as well as fearful about changing their own lives, they will wake up if and when they’re ready to, not when you tell them to.

Charge what you and your products are worth. Don’t be cheap with others or yourself. Don’t be a weirdo about it. Get in the flow.

Imperfect = I’m perfect. You’re human.

If your investors are going to fire you, let them fire you, don’t fire yourself. Never give up.
