Money Will Meet You Where You Are At…

So how do you feel about money? Ever thought about it?

This past Saturday I attended the Success Magazine Symposium in Dallas, Texas – an all day event held twice per year on personal development featuring some of the best speakers in the world. True legends on stage.

The Editor of Success Magazine, Darren Hardy, opened the event with a topic on “money” and our relationship with money. He said, “If you want to know how someone feels about themselves, take a look at their bank account. Money is the greatest measurement of ones mind set. It is an outcome that is concretely revealing. Money doesn’t lie. It is unemotional and unsympathetic. It is a rigid measurement of value and is easily counted.”

Wow…Let’s just say the audience was frozen at this point.

You’ve heard the term, water seeks it’s own level. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your level, its true about money…money will meet you where you are at. Stated another way – “your net worth will equal self worth. These are wise truths and for some, stark realities.”

This is why when someone who earns $30k per year and then wins a few million in the lottery will lose it all and be back to making $30k per year again in pretty short order. A study showed that this is the case about 90% of the time.

Here’s WHY…

Darren went on to say, “The money was far greater than their level of self-perceived value. This disproportionate ‘money to self esteem ratio’ made them very uncomfortable, and at an unconscious level they did whatever they could to try to rebalance that inequity, ultimately finding a way to lose it all, thus returning back to the comfort level of their self worth.”

Sounds crazy, yes, but this is how it works. This is how it’s always worked. You can only create and maintain the level of wealth that matches your personal development which is why “if you want to have more you first have to become more.”

The great Jim Rohn was patched into the event by phone (he is suffering from a pulmonary disease) to speak to the audience. He’s often said, “If you win a million dollars the first thing you should do is become a millionaire.” Now that’s a thought, huh?

The event focused on how one should learn the character, habits, disciplines and attitudes of a Millionaire. And if you want to make a million dollars, YOU have to develop the character, habits, disciplines and attitudes of a Millionaire first. Seems simple enough, yet many miss it. They try to “do” before they “be.” You must “be” your outcome before you “do” what it takes to get there. What a shift this is…

If you’ve heard Jim Rohn before you know he’s said for decades – “Work harder on yourself than you do on your business.” Now you know why…

We are all capable of great wealth. You have the ability to create limitless abundance. We all do. Your inner potential is worth far more than your current bank balance. Often times the only thing holding you back are your own limiting beliefs. Remember, you’re net worth will equal your self worth.

See you next week…
