MONEY… Do you deserve it?
Posted by Robin Bal under LifeStyle , MoneyMatters , Social Goals[9] Comments
If you are like most people, you do not feel that you “deserve money”. The simple fact is that most people are broke. Most people are broke because they do not feel that they deserve money.
To be financially successful you must: save prodigiously, invest wisely, and act like an entrepreneur. If you don’t believe you are capable of financial success, figure out why.
OK, maybe now you are thinking, “I deserve money…right?” Well, here is the thing, if you have the thought that “It takes money to make money”, or “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”, or “Money is the root to all evil”, then you do not deserve money…well, maybe not yet, but there is hope for you.
There are two sides to every coin, people can look at money as good or bad and often at times people look at money as bad to justify why they do not have any. I dont know, maybe someone with money or someone that was thinking of making money was with someone that did not have any and did not have any plans to make any. What they thought about having lots of money and they gave off one of the lame excuses as suggested in the previous paragraph.
Why do you deserve money? The answer is simple…because you deserve money! Look, making money is simply the result of exchanging your efforts or ideas for money.
There are a many ways to make a million dollars and most of them are quite fun ways to make money and thats the key! If you are willing to learn how to have fun, make money and teach others to do the same, then it should end up being easy to make the money for you.
Start with this; how much money would you like to have, then ask yourself how much money do I currently deserve doing what I am doing now? If the answer is not 10-20 times more, then you are not doing the right thing to attain the amount that you would like to have. Time to change…
Change…is the word “change” scary to you? If it is, then you do not deserve money! Broke people are afraid of change. Change is natural and should be embraced by everyone. If we do not embrace change in our life then we are accepting where we are and probably will stay where we are. If you are happy with what you are making and like where you work, then go out and buy your boss a gift basket, sit down, be quiet and stop complaining about your finances.

Excellent post Robin! I think you truly deserve money, and i think i do to! 😉 A lot of people see money in a bad way, when money is simply a way (for me) to help others. I’m attending the “Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind” seminar mid-May, can’t wait 😉

You are right mate, we both deserve money. Money is a way for me to help others too and I do my part. I would love some feed back from you after you have attended that “Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind”, would have loved to attend that too.
Thanks again for you comment Buddy.
Take care and Cheers

Nice post Robin – I like the positive viewpoint under current that runs through what you say.
I think everyone deserves money, provided they are prepared to step up to the plate and do their bit for it of course.
Im enjoying your blog, its good to read a blog that talks about finance in a fun and interesting way.
