It doesn’t matter what your goals are, the very first step to living the life of your dreams is to accept the fact that it is okay to want money. As mentioned before, money is a tool that allows us to express our life to the fullest. It is a necessity. However, most of us are conditioned into hating money. We see wealthy people as greedy, as if their wealth is depriving others. But nothing could be further from the truth!

You should never feel guilty or scared to want money.

Do not make the mistake of distancing yourself from money.

Embrace the fact that there is nothing wrong in wanting wealth. Your desire to be rich is really the desire to live a fuller life. It’s a noble compulsion and you owe it to yourself. Appreciate your urge to become wealthy and your vision of living a life of abundance. Understanding and embracing this is the very first step and it will change everything. With the right mindset you will start to perceive all the opportunities that were with you all along. You will come to realise that there are (were!) unlimited ways in which you can make large sums of money.

2. Understand The Universal Law Of Abundance.



Money is everywhere - if you can believe it. There is a world of prosperity if you can shift from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. It's always been there and you only need to open up to it. I previously shared with my readers (my free eBook) how my dad failed to make their dreams a reality. During his struggles, he lost his confidence, suffered from depression and regretted his decision to relocate to New Zealand. Although it wasn’t spoken aloud, we all knew that my father blamed New Zealand for his failures. The slow economy, small population and the lack of opportunities were easy targets for his blame.



I respect my father for all that he has done. He is the most diligent and hard-working person I know. But a person who lives a life of a victim cannot live a life of abundance…, no matter how hard he works. This is the essence of the second principle of making money. You have to understand that money is everywhere. Don’t blame your circumstances because there is always money to be earned.



Getting rich is not the result of your environment. If it were, everyone who lived in an affluent area would be rich and everyone else would be poor. This simply is not the case. We see rich and poor living side by side in the same environment. There are enough opportunities for you to make money wherever you are. Never live a life of a victim. Look for ways to problem solve and add value to others; money will follow.
