The Road to Unlimited Income

There are many attitudes (habits of thought) that severely limit people financially. One of the most devastating is an attitude about how much money they deserve to have.

For some reason most people have learned to accept the idea that for some reason they are not entitled to have more than what some artificially imposed limit puts on them. It is their destiny.

Often these people criticize those with high incomes. Baseball players that earn millions are often slammed in this way. But just think. In some cases individual players, just by showing up to play, bring in thousands of dollars in extra ticket sales on the nights they play. Why shouldn't they get a large portion of that money? Who deserves to get it more?

If you were to write a book that sold over a million copies, selling for $20.00 each, should you be limited to just a few thousand dollars since you only spent three months writing it? Who deserves to get the lion's share of the profits more than the author?

Now even if we accept the reasonable idea that we deserve to be paid as much as we earn, there is a good chance that we are still affected by the limitation personally, since most people are so constrained. As foolish as it is, we subconsciously take the steps needed to assure we only earn what falls within our self-imposed limits. That way we don't take a chance on getting too much money. The mind is a powerful thing.

When we say that successful people expect fair compensation for their work, what we mean is that they expect appropriate pay for what they do. And, they do not limit the return based on hours of work or the educational/professional expertise they bring to the table.

Bill Gates, I understand, did not finish college. Neither did he write the operation system that made him wealthy. He did recognize that IBM needed it and sold it to IBM for their use. He fairly considered that he was helping them make millions and he deserved a “fair” portion of the profits.

Whether or not we make millions is not important. What is important is that we remove the limits on what we can do, that we be open to receive more than we are now.

How can we do this? One effective means is to use the following affirmation. Repeat it daily for at least a month and then weekly for at least three months thereafter:

I deserve to receive all the money I can earn and there is no limit on the amount I can honestly earn.
