"Belief" as it relates to the 4 types of people.
2. People who outwardly desire wealth and inwardly feel guilty about acquiring it.
This one is based both upon the mis-perception that wealth, money and resources are finite as well as the mis-perception that in acquiring wealth they'll somehow lower their higher spiritual values, compromise their virtues or simple become "evil". "It's better to give than to receive", "money is the root of all evil" and "filthy rich" are just a few of the phrases you'll hear from these folks.
Their guilt stems from an actual or perceived inequity in the give and take equation. The Laws of Physics require that every energy exchange MUST maintain perfect balance between give and receive. Emerson wrote about this law as it relates to barter and earning money in his famous essay "The Law of Compensation".
In short, if someone feels they received more than they gave; they feel guilty because they mistakenly believe in a finite universe. This may also be rooted in the concept of guilt as put forth by the 2nd century Christian writer by the name of Tertullian, ie a means of controlling the masses. (Consult your theologian on that one!)
Again, Wealth is about creation. You can create many things, businesses and/or
states of being. Your imagination is more important than your current level of
knowledge. Your WHY is more important than the how.
For those who missed the start oof this series;
Good Morning Team - There are many many personality profile tools like the MMPI
DISC, 4 Colors, 4 Animals and others that seek to divide complex human beings into
neatly boxed categories. There is some value in doing so and some risk as well.
Here's one that we run into often;
1.People who believe the only way to get wealthy is at someone else's expense
2.People who outwardly desire wealth and inwardly feel guilty about acquiring it
3.People who say they "just want to be comfortable and secure" rather than wealthy
4.People who struggle with their desire to give and inability to receive.
All 4 groups have one thing in common: They're holding themSelves back from
experiencing the abundance and joy that surrounds all of us. Everyone at some point in time has issues with money and what it is, what it means and what it can be used for. Learning to address them in a powerful, supportive, productive manner is only one part of success.
Example; We've all heard the stories of the millionaires that make it, lost it all, make it, lose it again and then the 3rd time is the charm. That's the classic journey of learning about money, what it is, what it isn't. Along the way people will often play the blame game...and as long as they do...what they seek will elude them.
All four groups can be summed up with two words...and where the individual is
"at" concerning these two words....they each represent a continuum.
Belief + Deserve.
I’m just an average guy who’s learned a few things about Life, Success and Personal Development - thanks to some incredibly good and bad experiences during the past 25+ years. I’ve made many mistakes and have learned to combine down to earth values with a unique ability to distill complex concepts into simple, powerful strategies which can be immediately applied to produce measurable results. In short;
“I’ve traveled the territory, drawn a few maps and I’m happy to share them”
I do not consider myself to be an “expert” and my work is never presented as the definitive doctrine on how you should live your life or what it takes to be successful in your business. I am a work in progress and if you were to you join me on life’s journey by hiring me as your coach or partnering with us in business – our learning will very likely be a two way street. In fact, I expect it to be.
