The Inner Game of Wealth Creation

When it comes to financial matters, many of us primarily concentrate on the external aspects – such as income, savings, debt and expenses. However, there is a long list of successful individuals, (just like Bezos, Musk, Oprah, Branson, Vaynerchuk, Blakely, Schwarzenegger, Jobs, Stallone, Carrey, Rowling and many more), that have revealed a crucial insight: they mastered their internal mindset. They recognise that their beliefs significantly influence their outcomes. If, at your core, you perceive money as difficult to obtain or feel undeserving of it, you may unconsciously create circumstances that reinforce these beliefs.

Your mindset about money directly affects your emotions, which in turn drive your actions. Over time, these actions shape your reality. If you maintain the belief that money is a source of stress, scarcity, or even danger, your nervous system might inadvertently hinder your financial growth – even when opportunities are readily available. This concept is not mystical; it is rooted in psychology. Your identity informs your actions, and your actions determine your results.

Strategies

Shift the Self-Talk

Replace any language that reflects scarcity with expressions that convey neutrality or abundance. For instance, rather than stating, “I can’t afford this,” consider asking, “How can I make this possible?” The language you use is influential, serving as subtle guides for your subconscious mind.

Catch Your Thoughts

When you receive a bill or review your bank app, take a moment to pause and observe your initial thoughts. Are you thinking, “There’s never enough”? Or perhaps, “Why does money disappear so quickly?” Identifying these initial thoughts is crucial in breaking the cycle.

Audit Your Money Story

Reflect on your early financial education. Who were your mentors in understanding financial possibilities? Document three childhood memories related to money. Then, consider: Do these beliefs still hold true, or are they simply familiar?

Imagine Safe Wealth

Each morning, imagine how it would feel if financial resources were flowing effortlessly and without anxiety. Perceive money as an ally rather than a challenge. Establish a sense of security, because a calm nervous system is more conducive to welcoming prosperity.

Celebrate Small Wins

Received a refund? Successfully sold an item online? Discovered some unexpected cash in your pocket? Take a moment to celebrate these small victories. This practice helps rewire your mindset to recognise and appreciate signs of abundance, and what you focus on tends to grow.

Notice How You Receive

Do you tend to dismiss compliments, decline assistance or undervalue your services? These behaviours indicate that your ability to receive may need strengthening. Embrace the practice of accepting graciously and without guilt, as it is closely linked to how you welcome financial abundance.

Set a Self-Worth Reminder

Place a note on your mirror with the message: “My value is not determined by my bank balance, yet my beliefs influence both.” Allow this daily affirmation to ground a renewed sense of self.

Conclusion

Your financial life is a reflection of your internal blueprint, rather than your talent or effort. While it is not your fault if you have developed financial barriers early on, it is your responsibility to address and overcome them if you wish to achieve more. By transforming your perception of money and yourself, you will notice a change in how money responds to you – resulting in less struggle and more ease. You deserve to feel secure, capable and abundant, and this journey begins by looking inward rather than outward.

Ponderings 

What belief about money do I carry that no longer serves me?

When did I first feel stress around finances and who taught me that?

Do I truly believe I’m worthy of more wealth, or just hoping it shows up?

How would I behave differently if I already felt financially free?
