05 – Plan for Abundance

As you cultivate an abundant money mindset, remember the old saying, “Shoot for the moon and land among the stars.” Even if you don’t reach the moon, playing among the stars isn’t a bad place to be.

The point is to aim big, think big and never think that you’re asking for too much. Even 7-figures aren’t that far away from where you can be if you set your mind to it. Expand the mentality from “having enough to pay bills,” to “what would I do with an extra $1K or $5K per month?”

Time for a New Beginning

If you’ve had a past full of financial failures, forgive yourself and start over with a better plan and more enthusiasm for what you’re doing now. Forgiving yourself will help you let go of the behavior patterns of the past and create new patterns of abundance.

As you’re going through the process of forgiving yourself for past failures, begin to change your personal story in your mind and in what you do – especially in the area of money.

Be Prepared to Change Your Thinking Completely

Change your thought patterns from “broke” to “wealth” and you’ll soon see how your inner thoughts and feelings affect the reality you’re living. Planning a good budget will keep you focused and knowing exactly where your money is and where it’s going.

Surround yourself with people and things that create positive energy. Get rid of clutter like old memories that hold you back. Assess your lifestyle and figure out what you can do to make it happier, better and more abundant.

Begin to add soothing things and positive people – change your surroundings to that which creates a feeling of wealth and abundance. You don’t have to live a life a luxury to feel rich – but you do have to be happy with your life and how you’re living it.

If you look around and always take note of what you lack rather than what you have, your wealth mindset will be negative. But when you look at your surroundings and feel grateful for what you’ve already been blessed with, you’ll be able to attract even more abundance.

This isn’t a magical, mystical process. Changing how you think frees you to change how you act. It is a matter of redirecting yourself from just hanging on to working toward a more abundant lifestyle.

Open your mind to new opportunities and new ways of doing things. If you don’t like your present income, think about how you can change it. Even if you’ve reached the top rung of your job, there are other ways to make money.

When you become aware of what others are doing to create abundance and how you could change your current lifestyle and make things happen for you, the creative ideas will flow and you’ll find your way to wealth through cultivating an abundant money mindset.
