When I first started speaking on camera, I never imagined that my journey would lead me to talk about money. My initial goal was to inspire people to change their mindset, to break free from limitations, and to strive for personal growth. However, over time, I realized the immense importance of teaching people how to overcome financial barriers and move beyond poverty. My aim now is to guide others in breaking free from the mindset that keeps them poor. If you’re reading this, take a moment to declare: “I am breaking free from poverty. I am breaking free from the poor mindset.” This is the first step in transforming your financial future.
Recognizing the Mindset: Rich vs. Poor
Understanding whether you have a poor mindset or a rich, abundant mindset is crucial. It’s a realization that came to me after years of building businesses and striving for success. The difference between the two lies in how we perceive opportunities.
A person with a poor mindset often seeks opportunities from others, usually in the form of a job or a position that has limitations. There’s nothing wrong with looking for a stable job, but often, this search is rooted in the belief that someone else must provide opportunities. On the other hand, those with a rich mindset are focused on creating opportunities for others. They actively seek ways to give, to empower, and to build.
The Art of Creating Opportunities
Creating opportunities is a fundamental aspect of building wealth. If you have the ability to offer someone the chance of a lifetime, and you can articulate that vision clearly, you’re on the path to success. You’re not only making money for yourself but also enabling others to thrive. This understanding was a game-changer for me.
Imagine spending months working tirelessly, sacrificing immediate comfort to build something from the ground up. Even if you’re broke, selling possessions to fund your vision, you’re laying the groundwork for future success. This is the mentality I adopted. I prefer to invest my time and energy in creating systems and opportunities that others can step into rather than relying on external opportunities.
Building Systems for Success
The process of building a successful business or project often involves long hours and intense focus. I spent months working 8 to 14-hour days, with breaks in between, to develop a system that others could benefit from. This is the power of shifting from a poor mindset to a rich one.
Consider your current mindset. Are you constantly seeking opportunities, filling out application after application, only to feel dissatisfied? Or are you ready to change your approach and start giving opportunities to others? This requires a higher level of thinking and a willingness to learn and grow.
A Personal Journey of Transformation
I never thought I would be where I am today. As a fifth-grade dropout who taught myself to read and write at 23, I never envisioned spending countless hours behind a computer, working on administrative tasks and building systems. For a long time, I avoided these challenges, believing I couldn’t succeed. I was trapped in a poor mindset, thinking I couldn’t start a business or offer opportunities to others.
But then I made a decision. I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to create opportunities for those around me. Today, my team consists of highly qualified individuals with degrees and expertise. I may not have a degree, but I have the mindset of abundance that allows me to lead and empower others.
Embrace the Mindset Shift
If you’re ready to make a change, declare it: “I am going to give out opportunities. I am going to learn how to give out opportunities.” By shifting your mindset from poor to rich, you open yourself to a world of possibilities. You’ll be able to create the reality you desire and achieve the success you dream of.
Automation: A Path to Freedom
Automation is a tool that can create a lifetime of freedom. By automating systems and processes, you can free up time to focus on growth and innovation. This concept of automation is intertwined with the mindset of abundance and opportunity.
If you’ve made it this far, you’re on the path to becoming an automator. Keep pushing forward, and remember that this mindset shift can lead you to incredible success.
