I once put a hole in the wall out of sheer frustration with being broke. That moment was a turning point, forcing me to confront my beliefs about self-worth and change them. You are worth more than you think, and recognizing this can dramatically affect your bank account.
Understanding the Impact of Your Mindset
The idea of “grinding” to success has been popular for over a decade. But grinding for the sake of it won’t necessarily lead to success. Yes, building resilience and work capacity is important, but it’s about more than just working hard. Your mindset directly influences your financial success. If you don’t have what you want in your bank account, it’s likely tied to your self-worth.
Recognize Your Self-Worth
For a long time, I struggled with the belief that I wasn’t worth more. It took me years to realize that people wanted to hear what I had to say and that I was worth more than working endless hours. I started to believe I could build businesses, products, and teams. This shift in mindset allowed me to see that I was capable of much more.
Breaking Through Limiting Beliefs
We all have moments of self-doubt. Even now, I question if people will listen to me. But by shattering those limiting beliefs and recognizing my self-worth, I know I am worth more. You are worth more too. Once you internalize this, your actions will change. For instance, if you believe you should have more money in your account, you’ll start taking steps that reflect that belief.
From Struggle to Success
I was once working 14 to 16 hours a day delivering food. I was tired of being broke, of not being able to afford things, and of feeling stuck. One night, out of frustration, I threw a chair and put a hole in the wall. That moment changed everything. I decided my actions would reflect my self-worth from then on.
Transforming Self-Worth into Action
By repeating affirmations of self-worth and truly believing them, I changed the way I conducted business. I valued my services appropriately because of my years of experience and success. This self-worth attracted different opportunities and clients, which changed my financial situation.
Visualize Your Financial Goals
Think about what you want your bank account to look like in the next year. Not in three, four, or five years—just one year. What amount will make you feel secure and satisfied? While money isn’t everything, financial security can alleviate stress and allow you to focus on bigger goals, like impacting others.
Conclusion
If your current bank account doesn’t make you happy, it’s time to change your mindset and actions. Recognize your self-worth and let it guide your decisions. Believe in your ability to achieve more, and your reality will change accordingly.
