It starts to build a new identity inside of you.

Because once you build the identity of someone who invests consistently, your money finally starts working for you, not against you.

So shift number three is to pay yourself first to invest that.

Shift number four is by Kyle Cease.

Your worth is bigger than your financial fear.

And your relationship with money is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.

Man, when I heard this, I was like, yes, your relationship with money is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.

Now, what does this mean?

If deep down you believe that money is what makes you safe, you'll always feel anxious, you'll cling to every dollar, and you'll make decisions from fear, not certainty.

I was working as an intern for about six months with someone that I was learning a lot from.

And I remember at one point being like, man, I just really want some money.

I feel like I've been working hard for a few years.

Like I really could use some money.

I'm not paying any rent money at my sister's.

I feel like a loser because I can't contribute to her.

I can't even get my own apartment.

I'm just a loser.

I was 24 at the time.

I was like, man, I'm just a loser of a guy.

And he said something to me that, well, you said, he said, money comes to you when you're ready for it.
