How to develop a wealth mindset

I came upon an instagram post today where the content creator was making an illustration on a whiteboard then she asked a very thought provoking question: “What if instead of first teaching young children addition and subtraction in school, they are instead taught how to use their mind to regulate their emotions and perspectives? How amazing would that be?

Do you know that your mind is like a magnet because it attracts everything that you do? If you teach a child how to use their mind, they will attract abundance instead of lack.

Another thing you must be mindful of is that the average person’s mind has about 70,000 thoughts in a day. Therefore, learning how you can control your subconscious mind to focus on the things that matter most is a skill that must be learnt.

Mindset reset is that skill. It is an intentional thing that you must do, but it only requires a very small change. It requires a shift in perspective or just doing something new.

What is a mindset?

Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation. It means that what you believe about yourself impacts your success or failure.

Now, I would like to ask you two questions: “What do you believe about wealth?” “Do you think you can create wealth?

“Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” –

John Wooden. Depending on your answers to these questions, you will be able to understand your perception of wealth and then understand how to create wealth.

What is wealth Creation?

“Wealth creation is your ability to turn your thoughts and imagination into commercial products or services”- Dr. Ugochukwu Omeagu

In order to have abundance and the capacity to create wealth, you need to have the mindset reset because poverty first becomes a mindset before it becomes a physical condition.

What is a wealth mindset?

A wealth mindset means that you can see opportunities when they arise, you can find opportunity where there is none. You can make strategic decisions, and spend less time worrying about work and money, instead, you spend more time looking for ways to make and utilise your money more efficiently.

Someone with a wealth mindset is wealth-minded and this means that the person looks for places and situations where he can acquire assets and make them yield more than the normal amount. That person also knows how to create value. And guess what? Your first asset is you!

You are an asset just as you are. You have potential, talent, experience and expertise that make you a wealth producing asset.

If you are in a situation of lack right now, you need to know that you are the money. However, you need the right mindset and the right momentum to actually produce the wealth that you lack right now.

Here are 6 keys to develop a wealth mindset:

1. W- Wealth is your birthright as long as you know the value you bring.

2. E- Energy should be used to create value that solves problems or that people would be happy to pay for.

3. A – Aspirations must be aligned to your competence and capacity.

4. L- Learning should be an ongoing concern for your daily life.

5. T- Take action consistently on what you learn because action takers are money makers.

6. H – Harmonise your work and life by clarifying your “why” and purposefully apply.

If only we could teach our children early how powerful their mind is so that they can use it to attract wealth in their lives, the world would be a better place than it is.

Most people suffer because of the lack of awareness of the steps to follow to change the results that they currently have in their lives.

Life is hard but we can choose to be solution driven, focus on what we are grateful for and learn to leverage on our strengths not our limitations.

Above all, please remember that in order for you to successfully develop a wealth mindset and create the value that will earn you more money, you need to apply these 6 principles regularly.
