Do you want more money so you can finally feel financially secure? Many of us have been there—wanting more, not just for the things it can buy, but for the sense of safety it might bring. But here’s the thing: if you’re driven by a need to avoid financial insecurity, that desire might actually be blocking the flow of currency, ideas, and opportunities for true prosperity.

Today, I want to dive into the beliefs and emotions around money that shape our reality. I’ve seen firsthand how shifting from a scarcity mindset to a prosperity mindset can make a huge difference, and I’m here to share that with you.

The Stories We’ve Inherited: How Beliefs Shape Our Reality

Our beliefs about money often trace back to what we observed growing up. If you think money is hard to make, it might be because you saw your parents struggle. It may not have even been true for them—maybe they just didn’t understand how money worked. My parents, for example, had these beliefs around not being “good enough,” which pulled them into this dysfunctional state of poverty, even though abundance and prosperity are our birthright. They didn’t fully grasp how money works, so they experienced a lack of it.

So, what’s the meaning you’ve given to your experiences with money? Now that you’re 20, 30, or even 40 years old, what beliefs are driving your actions? Because if you’ve been telling yourself that “money is hard to make,” that thought is going to show up moment by moment, dictating how you think and feel about money every single day.

For example, you may not think, “I’m going to decide to make $60,000 by the end of the year from a source that isn’t my main business.” I did, and it happened. But for many people, these ideas won’t even surface because the mind is filled with thoughts aligned with the belief that money is hard to make.

Money Is More than Numbers: The Power of Your Mind-Body Connection

Your brain is a goal-achieving machine, wired to act on what it believes. If you believe money is hard to make, that belief triggers thoughts that create financial stress, anxiety, and even overwhelm. And those feelings? They dictate your actions. You’re not going to feel inspired to seek out opportunities that bring wealth. You won’t be emotionally or mentally open to those “coincidental” moments where money flows in.

Imagine the difference between someone who believes that making money is easy and is excited about it versus someone who feels constant financial stress. Which person is more likely to be open to money-making opportunities? When you feel motivated, inspired, and confident, you’re in a position to make more money. But when you’re stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed, it’s hard to attract wealth or see the possibilities right in front of you.

Breaking the Money Scarcity Cycle: Changing Your Beliefs

If we want to break the cycle of financial insecurity, it starts with understanding the way currency flows. Money flows through us as a catalyst for growth, expansion, and joy—not just to relieve us from financial stress. To open up to this abundance, we need to look at the interference we’re introducing: the limiting beliefs we carry around money.

Here’s where the work begins. Tools like the decision matrix, or even the “two states of being” method, are designed to help us identify and transform limiting beliefs. I’ve worked with many people who’ve attended events like the Powerful Living Experience or gone through my programs, and what I tell them is this: Transforming money beliefs is not difficult, but it’s work that must be done.

It might be as simple as realizing that the beliefs you have aren’t true. These programs we’ve picked up from others were just someone else’s beliefs that became true for us because our brain—a goal-achieving machine—was following a set of drivers. You can start making new decisions around money, like, “Money flows to me because abundance is my birthright.”

Rewiring Your Brain for Abundance: Building Evidence for New Beliefs

Once you start making empowered decisions, like choosing to believe that “money flows easily,” you’ll see shifts in how your brain processes these thoughts. Neuroscience supports this, too. As you repeatedly make decisions in alignment with wealth and abundance, your brain starts forming new neural pathways. The old limiting beliefs lose their strength, while new, empowered beliefs become more deeply ingrained.

When your thoughts align with abundance, you’ll begin to perceive opportunities in new ways. You start seeing life as if through the lens of a wealthy person. Thoughts, emotions, and actions realign with those of a person who believes they deserve prosperity. This process takes time, but with commitment, you’ll start noticing how your reality shifts to match your inner beliefs.

Creating Value Over Chasing Dollars: The Billion-Dollar Mindset

This shift in mindset is essential. One young man I spoke with came up to me after an event, saying he wanted to be a billionaire. I encouraged him to reframe that goal slightly. I said, “Instead of wanting to be a billionaire, aim to create something that brings a billion dollars of value to the world. That’s where true wealth starts.”

The greatest business successes—think Amazon or Tesla—didn’t begin with the goal of amassing wealth. Instead, they began with a vision to create massive value. When you focus on solving a problem, on contributing something of significant value, the money follows as a natural outcome.

Challenging the Core Limiting Belief: The Fear of “Not Enough”

This next part is critical because it’s the misunderstanding that keeps so many people stuck. Most people carry a core limiting belief about money: the fear of not having enough. Ask yourself, do you want more money so that you can feel financially secure? Because if that’s your motivation, it’s actually one of the biggest blocks to financial abundance.

Many of us live with a hidden fear that we don’t have enough, or we won’t have enough in the future to be okay. But if we’re honest with ourselves, has there ever been a time in your life where you didn’t have enough to survive? I’ve met people who were homeless for a time, but life still provided enough for them to get by.

So, take a moment and say to yourself: “I have enough. I’ve always had enough. And I will always have enough.” When you truly believe this, you’ll find that fear loosens its grip. You’ll open yourself up to new possibilities and start seeing opportunities that might have been hidden before.

Anchoring Yourself in Abundance: Letting Go of Financial Fear

When you move into a state of believing that you’ve always had enough, you release the need to accumulate money purely for security. This frees you up to attract wealth for more expansive, joy-filled reasons. Maybe you’re excited about a new project, or you want to create something meaningful that requires resources.

Living in the present, grounded in the understanding that you have enough right now, changes everything. It opens the door to currency, not just in dollars but in ideas, strategies, and inspiration that help you create wealth. You’ll find that, instead of desperately trying to hold on to money, you’re in a flow state where abundance moves through you naturally.

Becoming a Conduit for Wealth and Impact

One of the biggest shifts I experienced came when I embraced this mindset. My wife and I started our business from scratch, and in just seven years, we reached $25 million in revenue and ranked #171 on the Inc. 500. It wasn’t because we chased money; we stayed aligned with a vision that needed money to bring it to life.

We opened ourselves to receivership. We were in alignment with every opportunity, community, and resource required to build something meaningful. And here’s the beautiful thing: you don’t need to be “good enough” to deserve wealth. You don’t need to become a different person. Just align yourself with abundance and commit to removing the inner obstacles.

Trusting in Enough: The Foundation of Financial Freedom

In closing, remember this: true financial abundance is not about “having enough” to ease anxiety. It’s about trusting that you have enough right now and that you always will. By grounding yourself in this belief, you invite the flow of prosperity. Life has a way of providing when we’re willing to release the fears that block us.

Financial freedom begins with the understanding that you’ve always had enough. Once you see that, you can build a vision for your life that doesn’t need money but invites it as a natural part of fulfilling your purpose. This alignment allows you to take inspired action, draw in ideas, and make intelligent decisions that foster real, lasting abundance.

The next time you find yourself feeling financially anxious, remember these words: I have enough. I’ve always had enough. And I always will. Let this affirmation be your guide as you step into a wealth mindset, where abundance flows naturally, freely, and joyfully through you.
