When I was in my 20’s and struggling with money, I had some really BAD money blocks that held me back.
For example…
One of the biggest blocks I struggled with was “rich people are assholes”.
Now this is a fairly common money block…
Especially if you grew up in a small town, or a blue collar family (like I did).
In my family, rich people were looked down upon.
They were seen as “evil”.
And really for no reason…
It’s not like they were actually assholes.
Money doesn’t just turn nice people into assholes.
But due to my parents “blue collar beliefs” they believed that anyone with money was simply an asshole.
And the implication of this belief on me was huge.
Cause it was imprinted on me that “you don’t want to be rich, otherwise you’ll turn into an asshole”.
So my thought process was…
“If I’m gonna turn into an asshole when I have money, and no one is gonna like me, then I better not make more money”
I should just keep making $50k a year and be happy with that.
That was my thought process.
Which is so screwed up.
But like I said, this kind of block in ingrained in a LOT of people.
Most people are somewhat aware of it…
Or it’s operating at an unconcious level…
But either way, it’s killing your chances of significantly increasing your income.
Seriously.
You could do everything right in your business…
But if you have money blocks like this I guarantee you will find ways to NOT make money.
You might spend it all so you don’t feel so bad about having it…
You might hop to another idea right before a big payday so you don’t have to deal with it…
Or you simply might just stay in an income zone you’re comfortable at – whether thats $40k a year, $100k a year or $200k a year (and never actually make more money, even if you can).
So as you can see this block can be fatal…
And that’s why I’m super excited that my buddy Ian Stanley is going to be talking all about money blocks on the first day of his “Almost Passive Income” event that’s coming up.
Ian has a bunch of talks and meditations planned around money.
These are designed to help you get rid of some of your money blocks…
So you can start feeling more comfortable with money (thus helping you make more).
Which is super important.
Cause here’s the deal…
If you have a bunch of these money blocks going on, it’s like driving around with the emergency brake on.
And you don’t want that.
So if you want to get your “money mindset” right, I suggest getting a ticket to Ian’s event in Boise in a few weeks (you can also attend virtually).
Usually tickets for events like this are $1500 or more.
But Ian is selling them for $300 for this event.
Which is a huge steal.
So if that tickles your fancy…
Grab a ticket to the event, and come say hello to me when you’re there (I’ll be speaking on day 2).
You can get a ticket and read all about the event on this page right here.
