Everything positive and negative related to your finances all comes back to the mindset you have toward money.  Interview after interview of those who have attained great wealth can attest to the importance or crucial mindset required to attract and retain wealth.

In order to get the right mindset, you need to first understand how you got to where you are. In this examination, you need to evaluate these three areas:

1. Your parents perception and ability to manage money. There is a very good chance that your concept of money and wealth accumulation is akin to that of your parents. While we do have the ability to act contrary (good or bad), your mindset has at least been influenced by what you experienced growing up.
2. Your formal and/or informal education about business and finance, particularly, how wealth is generated and protected. At a minimum, you need to know what you don’t know so that you can seek out those who can help you in your journey.
3. The mindset of your closet friends or the people inside your circle of influence. The mindset of those around us have a profound effect on how we perceive reality. This will either push you higher and weigh you down.

Having the right mindset allows you to be flexible in moving forward. There is no one sure path to attaining wealth. As a matter of fact, it is highly recommended that you have multiple paths to get to your goal. Remember, your mind is the greatest asset you will ever own. Treat it as such and watch the opportunities flood in.
