It's not because you're bad with numbers. It's because 99% of people have been programmed in a way that makes it almost impossible to break through with money. you didn't choose that programming that you have you inherited it and it shows up as a set of beliefs about money that you have been carrying since you were a young kid without ever once choosing these beliefs if you feel stuck when it comes to making and keeping enough money it's not because you're lazy it's not because you're bad with numbers It's because 99% of people have been programmed in a way that makes it almost impossible to break through with money.
You didn't choose that programming that you have. You inherited it. And it shows up as a set of beliefs about money that you have been carrying since you were a young kid without ever once choosing these beliefs. And that's why you can read the books, you can watch the videos, you can make a budget, you can promise yourself that this is your year. And after 12 months later, you're still standing in the same spot, struggling, trying to see why is this happening to me over and over again. The same number, the same amount of stress, that same tight feeling inside your chest when rent is due or bills need to be paid. I know that feeling. It's not fun. I also know the feeling when I started to make money and I didn't understand it, where it felt like someone was clenching my throat and it felt even more scary.
Now this is not a discipline problem, this is a wiring problem. So in this video, we're going through the five money beliefs that you have to let go of if you want any of this to change in your life and exactly how to replace each one so you can actually start building toward your next level of wealth. And I want to be specific with you today because most conversations about money mindset stop at the mindset. And this is something I've talked about for a long time, the mindset around money. This is an important and essential element. But if that's all you think about, then it makes you feel something for a few moments, maybe for a few hours, and then you close the app and nothing in your account moves.
So every belief we cover today, everything that we're talking about comes with a number that you have to go find or a sentence that you have to say out loud to somebody. So this is not just a feeling or a feel good video with some insights. This is an assignment that I want you to take on today. This means you have to actually show up and do something differently. I'm going to give you some core things throughout this video, but at the very end, I'm going to tell you specifically what you need to do to unlock these new beliefs. So it's not just feel good ideas, but actual actions you take to create the momentum that you're looking for around money and wealth. And I've spent over a decade sitting across from billionaires,
Self-made millionaires, investors, founders, mega entrepreneurs, people who have built something out of nothing. People who had an idea, a concept, a thought, some type of imagination around something they wanted to make that wasn't already in the world.
