Episode 12: 3 Types of Financial Blocker Thoughts

Feb 9

“The way that you think about money, your money mindset is what is creating your results with money.”

In today's episode, I will discuss money and your money mindset. I will talk with you about what I call financial blocker thoughts. This is a concept that I teach in my Holistic Money Program, where I help my students understand the thinking that blocks them from building wealth. There are three main types of financial-blocker thinking that I'm going to go over in this podcast today so you can become more aware of these three ways of thinking and how they can get in the way of your financial success. I want you to start to discover your financial power.

Examine the connection between your thoughts about money and the world and your financial results. Talking to those with a different money mindset and successful financial outcomes can help you see key differences in their thinking. This can inspire you to adopt similar outlooks and achieve greater financial freedom. Be mindful of your thoughts about money, income, and the lifestyle you want to have with it. Avoid comfortable, non-challenging thoughts that don't push you to grow financially or personally. These thoughts may seem humble or egoless, but they can hold you back from reaching your full potential and financial success.

Some people have it way better than you and have a much easier time in their wealth-building journey.
