Your Money Mindset

eCommerce Business Owners Wealth Builders

Did you ever even think that you have a ‘relationship’ with money?

Money Mindset Impacts Every Decision

Money decisions are always symptomatic of a belief system. To say it another way, your money mindset drives all of your financial decision making. Our relationship with money is about how we feel about ourselves that in turn determines our results with money/financial circumstances.

Dave Ramsey says, “Your money mindset is your unique set of beliefs and your attitude about money. It drives the decisions you make about saving, spending and handling money.”

When Is Your Money Mindset Formed?

Believe it or not, your money mindset was formed way back when you were growing up! The experiences you remember, consciously or subconsciously, shape the way you act today. Did you have to have a part time job at a pizzeria to help your parents pay the bills? Were you on the receiving end of generosity by your grandparents? Did your parents never talk about money at all. All of those things shape your thoughts that effect your behavior.

Limiting Money Mindset

  • “I’m not good with money.”
  • “I can’t hold on to money, it’s always something.”
  • “If I had more money, ____ wouldn’t be a problem.”
  • “I work hard. I deserve to not follow a budget.”
  • “I’ll never be able to pay off this debt.”
  • “I can’t earn enough to get ahead.”

An Abundant Money Mindset

  • “I am worthy of making and having more money.”
  • “Money belongs to those who work hard.”
  • “My actions create prosperity for my and those around me.”
  • “It is in my control to build wealth.”
