Many people wonder if it's possible to train your brain to help you make more money. The answer is a resounding yes. Let me share with you a story of how I began training my own brain to enhance my earning potential.
Years ago, I was fortunate to have a mentor, Walter Schneider, a highly successful businessman. He taught me a crucial lesson: to achieve your goals, you must first gain absolute clarity about what those goals are.
Let's say your financial goal is to earn $100,000 a year. That translates to approximately $8,500 a month or about $2,150 each week. If you're not currently earning that amount, there are steps you can take to retrain your brain to help you achieve it.
Step 1: Set Clear Financial Goals
Begin by clearly defining the exact amount you want to earn—whether it's per week, per month, or annually. This clarity is the foundation for your journey.
Step 2: Create Affirmations
Craft a simple affirmation such as, "I am so happy and grateful for the fact that I am now earning $10,000 a month." Repeat this affirmation aloud every morning and evening, five to ten times each session.
Step 3: Visualize Your Success
As you repeat your affirmation, close your eyes and mentally rehearse receiving that income. Visualize the money entering your bank account, and immerse yourself in the feelings of having a steady flow of $10,000 a month. Envision how this income will positively impact your life, your family, friends, community, and the charities you support. Create a vivid mental movie, experiencing the emotions as if it were happening right now.
Step 4: Engage Your Brain
This practice primes your brain to perceive and feel your goal as a current reality. It activates the left prefrontal cortex—the part of your brain associated with problem-solving and strategic thinking, akin to that of a genius CEO like Einstein.
Step 5: Reinforce with a Vision Board
For an added boost, create a vision board—either digitally or physically. Include images that represent the lifestyle $10,000 a month would afford you. Picture the car you'd drive, the places you'd vacation, the home you'd live in, and the charities you'd support. Immerse yourself in these visuals daily, reinforcing your belief that this lifestyle is within reach.
Step 6: Take Action
Combine mental rehearsal with physical action. Every day, ask yourself, "What can I do today to make $10,000 a month a reality?" Take one or two actionable steps towards achieving your financial goals. This approach, blending affirmations, visualizations, and concrete actions, is a powerful way to prime your brain for success.
By consistently practicing these steps—morning and night—you'll begin to rewire your brain, setting it on a path to achieving the financial success you desire. Start today, and watch as your efforts transform into tangible results.
