Page 8 - THE SCAM OF RICHES

Chapter 2

As a man thinketh

The good book says that “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

I used to think that money was something you worked for, and then spent. Hence, I just
couldn’t accumulate much.

What are your money beliefs?

The strange thing is most people are neither aware they have a money belief, nor do they

have a clue what that belief is.

But the money belief can be seen from their money habits and the way they dispose of

money any time they get it.

Some people believe money is of the devil (“The love of money is the root of all evil”)
and so, having too much of it is a bad thing. Which reminds me of a woman I met at

another seminar. She said whenever her dad made significant amounts of money, he
would immediately spend it all on loose women and stay away from home. He would
only return home when the money finished. So, she concluded that the best thing to do
in order for a marriage to be successful, was to marry a poor man, or to kick against any

attempt at prosperity in her husband!

Some others believe money has wings and would soon fly away, hence they spend it all up

as quickly as it came.

Yet some others believe they don’t really deserve to be rich, so whenever they make
money, they give it away to family and friends, who they feel are more worthy of the

money.

One thing is certain; people usually get their money belief from their parents, their

immediate environment or community.

So, what is your money belief?

Whatever it is, it would control you and determine how much money you can make as
well as how much money you get to retain.

But I would like you to know that there is no limit to how much money you can make.
