Making money
starts in your mind according to Jen Sincero,
author of You are a Badass at Making
Money. Your wealth,
or lack of it, has a lot to do with your mindset.
The things we think and say, even and maybe especially in your subconscious
mind, affect our behavior related to money. If you’re making less than you
want, you probably have beliefs and
thoughts that are holding you back.
Fortunately, you can change your mind. Much of Sincero’s book is
focused on ways you can get a new perspective on money and change your habits of thought.
New behaviors and more money should follow.
Of course, changing deeply ingrained beliefs and habits that you’ve
practice for years can be difficult. It requires persistence and determination.
It also requires action. At first, you’re unlikely to know how you’re
going to make more money. You’ll have some ideas, and you should act on them.
You’ll have questions and you should seek out answers.
Sincero suggests you’ll have help along the way. This is where things
get a little far out. She says there is a universal intelligence trying to give
you what you want. Our consistent thoughts tell the universe what we want and
how much we want it. If we want positive things, like being rich enough to do a
lot of cool stuff, we should have strong positive emotions as much as we can
right now.
This notion of universal intelligence is common to self-help
literature, especially related to wealth. Sometimes the power is ascribed to
the subconscious mind, as in the case of Maxwell Maltz,
but often this power is seen to rest in some outside or all permeating force,
which is some people’s conception of God.
Actually, a lot of the ideas you’ll find in Sincero’s book are common
to the genre. The humorous
and entertaining way she presents the material is unique. Books like this are
sometimes dense, brow-beating or far out there, but Sincero’s humorous,
easy-going tone and straightforward style makes for easy reading.
Jen Sincero also wrote You are a Badass.
