046: Your Money Mindset

Hey everyone, it’s Lisa J. here and welcome to another Build Your Belief Podcast and YouTube Show. On this week’s Build Your Belief show I want to talk to you about money. Yeah, last week I did my Mindset Reset Intensive Webinar on the conversation of money and the conversations and the emails were so rich… Ha! Pun intended—we’re so rich in quality that I wanted to bring it to the Build Your Belief Show.

So, let’s talk about you and your relationship with money. Yeah, I use that word very clearly, very strongly. It is a relationship. So, how are you doing with your relationship with money? When you learn how to transform and to retrain the brain around your money relationship you actually stop having so much angst about it. You release the suffering around money. You release the limiting beliefs and start shifting them. You let go of the heaviness that you’ve made up around the struggle with money, whether you have it or don’t. We’re going to let all of that go with a couple of ideas how to do just that. So, are you ready for this?

Idea number one: Understand what money really is. Money isn’t currency, it’s not pesos or dollars or Euros, it’s not the paper currency I want you to focus on.

I want you to consider that money is truly an idea put into action.

So, you want ten million dollars, do you have ten million dollars ideas? Do you surround yourself with people who can help you come up with and follow through with 10 million dollar ideas. So, money is simply an idea put into action.

Money is also value for value. We know that in the spiritual laws of prosperity on this planet, is that when you are valuable to another person they pay you with what we call currency or money. Value for value. Sometimes they pay you with their value. I have a deal right now that somebody has hired me as his coach and I’ve hired him as my coach, and that’s value for value. So, you want to make more money, be more valuable. How can you improve your skill set? How can you increase your value?

So, two things right there. Come up with better ideas, million dollar ideas, billion dollar ideas, surround yourself with people who have better ideas, and secondly, please, put more value you our in the world. It works like magic, but it’s not magic at all. It’s a spiritual law, that when you give value you get value back, and that value you is and can be monetarily, money.

Another idea I want you to consider is have a set clear money goal. How much do you want to make this year? At the end of this year, what would just surprise and delight you that that’s how much was your net worth, or that’s how much money you brought in, or that was your profit. How much? Be clear with that amount of money. Isn’t it interesting to say, “Oh, we just want a lot!” or “We just want more.” No, creation doesn’t work that way.

Creation loves clarity.

So, how much more? How much money do you want? State that. Get out a sheet of paper, a Word document, a Pages document and write at the top of the page how much you want to bring in this year. How are you upping your value?

Better ideas put into action, but then also a clear goal helps you expose your limiting beliefs.

Yup, this happened for me actually. I did this exercise about 17 years ago, I put at the top of the page how much I wanted to make that year and all the limiting beliefs started coming up for me. Things like my kids are too young, I can’t actually do that much work to make that much money, wait until they’re in school, then I can make that kind of money.

Really? What about collaboration? What about residuals? What about royalties on writing a book? What about launching a coaching certification program like I just did? That’s how you can duplicate your money, but double, triple, quadruple your income. Collaboration.

So, write that amount at the top of the page and notice what beliefs come up for you. Tell the truth. Clean up your money limiting beliefs. What are they? Do you believe that money is good? Do you believe that that scriptural verse did not say, “Money is evil,” it said, “The love or the constant pursuit of money is evil?” But money, that’s what’s paying for churches, and synagogues, and schools, ad better hospital care, and better salaries for the people who teach our kids and take care of us when we need nurses, doctors, and assistance.

So, wow, what about taking a look at your limiting beliefs around money. Writing them out and then replacing them one by one, so that you are in alignment with money coming to you, and you won’t sabotage it. You could up your value, you could think of better ideas, surround yourself with people who will help you create better ideas and keep you accountable to those ideas put in action, but if you have a limiting belief about receiving money, or being a multi-millionaire, or billionaire, then you’ll sabotage your efforts in the long run anyways. So, clean up your money beliefs.

And then the final thought is be respecter of your money. Money, currency is a servant not a master. And for too many of you money is your master, it’s all you think about. I remember when I was super struggling, all I could think about was can I pay my bills this month? Will I be able to make my mortgage payment? What about my kids—they were in grade school at the time, but the struggle that I had—all I did was thinking about money in a limiting way.

So, what about you? Money can’t be your master, it’s got to be your servant.

And here are three ideas you can actually put money in its place, that it is your servant and you are the master over it.

Idea number one, Tell the truth. How much money do you have? What’s your net-worth? What’s your bills? Where’s your budget? How much more money do you want to make this year and next year? Tell the truth. So, being a master over your money means you don’t hide from it. You open up those letters. You open up that bank account online and you take a look at what is the truth about your money. You are your master over your money, it doesn’t master you. You’re not hiding or denying or have fear around your money. You are bold with your money you tell it what to do. You tell it what to do. You are the master, it is your servant.

And the other way that money is your servant is what’s your highest self-expression? Do you love to be a giver? Do you love to help and be of service? Do you love to risk and just launch new ideas and new businesses? All the things that money can do for you to be even more self-expressed. Allow money to be your servant for you being more out there in the world. Being more authentic and integrice.

Another idea about money being your servant is in a story. So, a dad took his daughter into an ice cream shop and bought her a double decker ice cream and as she’s looking at that double decker ice cream, she couldn’t handle it or manage quite well and it toppled over. What do you think that father should do?

He took her back into that ice cream shop and she saw on the side of the store a picture of a little girl her age with a triple ice cream cone. And she said, “Oh, daddy I want that triple ice cream cone.” When she couldn’t even manage the double. And he said, “No, we’re going to get you a single cone, because that’s perfect for you.” And he knew that that was the best that he could do for his daughter, what she could manage.

When you can manage what you have well, you’ll grow into the double scoop. When you can manage that double scoop of your money, you’ll move into the triple scoop.

So, silly analogy, but a profound truth. How are you doing with the money you have, right now? Are you aware of it? Are you having it make more money for you? Do you get assistance, advice, or a coach to help you do so? Are you a good steward with your money? So, take care of what you have now. Same thing in your business, take care of the clients you have now. Do a stellar job with what you have now. And watch when you can manage that single cone, that single scoop, the double scoop will follow.

So, I hope that helps you have a new idea around money. It’s just simple ideas put into action. More money, better ideas. It’s simple value for value. Be more valuable out there in the world with your clients and watch how more value comes back to you. Be the master of your money. Respect it. Make sure that when you get your change back—well, most people credit cards like me, but if you get change back make sure all the dollars or all the currency is faced in the same direction. You are organized with your money. You tell the truth with your money. You know where your money is and how much you have. And finally you have clear money goals and then you notice the limiting beliefs around those money goals and you clean it up. Because the truth is you want more money, money as a servant is an amazing capacity for the master to be, do, and have even more for themselves, for their families, for their community, and for the world. What an impact, I want that for you.

And I’m going to leave you with a final truth. This is the one that helped me make the biggest breakthrough around making more money and receiving more money. And that is this: Money is a magnifier; it simply makes you more of what you already are. Money doesn’t change you, so let go of the fear of coming into a lot money, or more money and it changing you.

The truth is money’s a magnifier, so work on yourself because it will magnify who you truly are.

If you’re a kind hearted, generous force on this planet and you come into more money or a lot of money, wow, you’re going to be even a bigger contributor, a mightier force for good on this planet. But if you’re a liar, and you have no integrity, and you cheat even the little cheat, the little lies, the little lacks of integrity, and you come into more money, money is a magnifier, it’s going to make you more of a cheat, of a jerk, of a person who has no integrity.

So, could it be that God and his infinite wisdom, he’s keeping you safe that you can manage your single scoop right now, that you’re working on your own internal integrity right now. Every day in every way you’re becoming better and better as an individual force, as a person on this planet for good. And when you clean that up—little lies here, little integrity here, I’m doing it for and with myself as well—when you clean that up, just watch the money come.

So, those are my money ideas for you. You can leave your comments below and of course, share it, like it, and help us get the message out building your belief in you, in your ability and capacity to grow your wealth, and that you are and will be an even massive beautiful contribution on the planet with money, your servant, as you the master.

Thanks everybody, make it a beautiful week.
