The book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth by T. Harv Eker is an excellent read for those of you that want to identify and change your money blueprint aka subconscious programming about money. This book was a game changer for me! Have you ever had thoughts like, "Rich people are greedy"; scarcity mindset ("I have to save, I can't spend my money") or "I might become a bad person if I make more money" or even "I wouldn't know what to do with that much money"? WOW! No wonder we aren't getting to our financial goals with that mindset! If you are not doing as well financially as you would like, you will have to change your money blueprint and at the very least analyze your beliefs about money and associated behaviors. Don't sell yourself short!
Talk to a therapist that specializes in financial health, coach, financial planner, or mentor to help you get to where you want to go! Onward and upward!
