Our mind is very powerful, and when used the right way, you can change your life around.Keep reading to learn how you can transform your money mindset with these ten easy to follow steps.
Why Should You Change Your Money Mindset, Right Now!
I struggled all my life with my finances. Most of the time, I was in debt, and the rest of the time, I just had enough to survive. Looking back, I could blame my parents; they always “just had enough” because their mindset was: “having enough is enough for us.”
But I have toblame myself for accepting this narrow mindset.
Sure, there are many people out there who would be very happy with having enough money, especially the ones that struggle to pay the bills.Having such a limited belief about money, or better-said about the abundance of money, can hold you back a lot in life.
Think about it this way, having enough money will just get you the absolute minimum.It will, maybe…
- Pay the billsbut notgiving you enough funds to save money.
- Bring food on your tablebut notgive you the pleasure of trying out new things, eating out in fancy restaurants, or just taking care of your health (and buying high-quality organic food.)
- Letting you work hard for your moneybut notgiving you the funds (or time) to educate yourself and learn new things.
- Give you the possibility to do a yearly vacation, driving 6h by car to stay in a 3-star hotelbut not give you the opportunity to explore the world, visiting amazing new places, travel in business class, arriving well-rested in a beautiful hotel or 5-star resort.
It will be making you survive BUT NOT fully experience life.
You see,having enough money is maybe enough to survive, but not to live life to the fullest. This will, most of the time, cost money, andI believe that we all deserve living life the exact way we want it to be.
That was the number one reasonI was always unhappy and in search of something until my money mindset changed. I changed it. And so can you.
Most people believe that having the right money mindset is something you might or might not have, somethingyou are born with it, but that’s not true.
It’s somethingyou can learn and train your healthy money mindset, just as almost everything in life. And once you master this skill,manifesting money will be easy.
Here are theten bulletproof ways, how you can transform your money mindset, and finally live the abundant life you deserve, in more detail.
Forget What They May Told You as a Child About Money
Ok, maybe not everything, butwhen it comes to our belief system, most of us have unfortunately often received an entirely wrong message.
Remember your parents telling you something like: “money doesn’t grow on trees? “
I do, and my parents may not have been wealthy, but they certainly weren’t stingy or negative people.
Well, it turns out I wasn’t the smartest kid; otherwise, I would have told them that money DOES grow on trees; after all, it is made out of paper.
But hey that’s not the point, I thinkpeople just use sayings like this to easily and don’t really understand the damage they can do with it.
→ So if you have kids, please don’t make the same mistakes. And please erase all the negative beliefs you had around you as a kid, no matter who this teacher was, your parents, or friends. These negatives beliefs towards money are worth nothing!

Forget About Your Past
It’s not only what others told you about money, but it’s also what belief system you created yourself.
If you have readmy book about manifesting abundance, you know that at one point, I have already lost everything. If I were still living at that time, I would certainly not be where I am today.
For example,I had a business that failed, and I lost a lot of money.It took me a long time to get out of debts from that failed business.If that would now be my “new reality” that people fail when starting a business and losing a lot of money, I would have never started business again.
I would have never made six figures with my 9-5 or my own business. I would still be in debt and believe that’s the way it has to be.
Instead,I concentrated on people that actually had success with their business and made a lot of money.
So no matter where you come from or what happened to you in your past, your past does not define your current situation, nor your future.
We were all born rich.
That doesn’t mean we all come from wealthy families, butwe all have it in us to make a lot of money.
So hit that delete button and forget about your past money problems. They are gone.
Change Your Money Story
You may find it easy to forget about a difficult situation you faced in the past, buthow about your current struggles?
If you do have debts or find yourself in a problematic situationfinancially wise, it is even more important tochange your feelings about this right now.
It is tough to attract wealth and abundance when you are in a state of lack.
The good news is,you can trick your mind into a state of abundance, regardless of the situation you are currently in.
By no means, I suggest you use your credit card to support a luxury lifestyle even when you have hungry kids at home.
But in case you have no one you need to take care of, why not?
My husband Tom and I used this strategy a few times when things got a bit tight. And it always worked out in our favor.
For example,we booked a luxury trip with business class flights, even though we didn’t have the spare cash for this vacation right then.
What happened then surprised me again every time.Out of nowhere, we suddenly got some extra cash, whatever this was through a salary rise, finding some extra money on a savings account, etc.
Once, I even found almost 1K in cash in a handbag I haven’t used for a while. Woohoo!
Crazy as it sounds, but just before we left for our wedding in Vegas and our honeymoon in Hawaii, my husband lost his job.
He didn’t tell me until we left for the airport. And at that time, he already had the offer for a new job. It turns out this new job he got was much higher paid.
This, very unusual, salary raise pretty much paid for our whole trip within the first months of working in his new job, and he was much happier in the new company too.
It only shows you how fast situations can change, so living in your past is never a good idea.
Fake It Until You Make It
When you feel confident with point 3,start talking to others about your situationas if.
Youdon’t have to lie to people; you can just say things like: “my money situation is great; I’m now working on my money mindset, and by the end of the week/month/year, I will make X amount.”
But sometimesit’s really ok to “fake it until you make it,”even if it means you are not 100% honest, but let me explain.
I loved to tell people that I randomly met, at a pub or on a plane, about the buy to let properties I own in England.
At the time, this was just a dream, my big goal.I didn’t have the financial resourcesto even look into such an investment.
But this little “faking it “didn’t feel wrong; it didn’t harm anyone, right?
I always believed that I need to save up a lot of money before I can make this dream come true. It turns out this wasn’t true.There is something called property crowdfunding that makes it possible to invest in properties with as little as a few dollars.
And only a few weeks after I started to tell people this little fib, a crowdfunding company called Property Partner approached me, andI began to invest in the UK property marketstraight up.
It worked!Today I own several properties in England as an investment, and I’m making good money with it.
Expert Tip: Your wealth starts in your head, see yourself as someone who has a lot of money and above all who deserves this abundance, and imagine how much good you can do with this money!

Actually, my vision board is a topic I could talk about for hours. It is amazing what this powerful law of attraction tool did for my success and especially how it changed my money mindset.
I always added the amount of money I wanted to earn to my vision board, and when looking back, this number has changed dramatically over time.
In fact, I used the power of a vision boardto grow my salary from what I “ordered” in my first vision board to three times as much in less than a few years.
