Whatâs really going on. Because if money was just math, weâd all have decent savings accounts, investments, and a much better relationship w One of my favorite movie trailers⦠About Nicolas Cage asâ¦wait for itâ¦Nicolas Cage. (In case youâre curious, the movieâs officially called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.) A lot of the trailer makes fun of Cageâs infamous spending habits⦠Like how he blew a $150 million net worth on a deserted island, a dinosaur skull, a pet octopus, a haunted mansion, and a bunch of other random things. The first time I heard this, I remember thinking, âHow does someone blow through one hundred and fifty million dollars?â Because Iâd always assumed that all money problems could be solved by simply making more money. (Which is why thatâs all I focused on for years.) But you know what? As celebrities like Cage, 50 Cent, and Mike Tyson (and many more)âeach of whom had a mind-blowing net worth of over $100 million before declaring bankruptcyâhave shown us, how much you make doesnât matter if you donât have mastery over your money. And it happens in the same way so many entrepreneurs either donât know how much theyâve made in their business⦠Or, donât know where the money has gone. If you can relate to this⦠â¦Because it feels like thereâs never enough (no matter how much youâre making) â¦Because you get such a sinking feeling when you think about money that you want to avoid it altogether â¦Because you canât figure out how your money seems to fly from your account as quickly as you can make it. Then you know, consciously or subconsciously: It happens because, contrary to popular beliefâ¦Money is not math. It also has little to do with being logical, following a budget (if youâve tried this and it hasnât worked for you, you know what Iâm talking about), or being âsmart.â So what does it really take to âmasterâ your money? It actually takes four different skills, which I call Money Modes, to master all the aspects of your relationship with money. And they are: Making, Spending, Having, and Leveraging. To master each of these modes requires a unique set of thoughts, beliefs, and feelings, most of them very different from the ones youâve been taught. But once you master each mode with the reframes youâll learn in Self-Made, hereâs what happens⦠>> Mastering the Making Mode will enable you to finally make the money you want, with more grace, enjoyment, and peace. >> Mastering the Spending Mode will allow you to spend without guilt, have every investment decision pay off for you, and live the lifestyle you wantâ¦while also having plenty of money left over every month. >> Mastering the Having Mode is how youâll be able to keep more of your money, and build true âwealthâ...the kind you might dream of leaving to your children. >> And mastering the Leveraging Mode is how youâll compound it all, to finally have money work for YOU to make more of itself, instead of the other way around. Take it from someone who grew up in a typical immigrant family learning every piece of misinformation about money you can think of⦠â¦The best you can hope for is a steady 9-to-5 paycheck
â¦If you want to have more money, donât spend on anything
â¦People who have money are evil
â¦Sacrificing your desires (because of a lack of money) is simply a part of life Your relationship with money does NOT have to be the way you were taught. And if youâre ready to break free of that⦠To truly master your own money⦠So that you can make, spend, have, and leverage it without limits, to create the financesâand lifeâyou want⦠Iâll show you how in Self-Made: [luisazhou.com/self-made]() Enrollment closes in just two more days.
