what my parents taught me about rich people

Their response says it all. Even though I didn’t realize it at the time, this was one of the defining moments of my childhood when it came t When you were a kid, did you ever tell your mom or dad that you wanted to be rich when you grew up? How did they respond? If your parents were anything like mine, their response wasn’t what you expected. Instead, they made you feel… Ashamed. Embarrassed. Bad. Because wanting to be rich was only something that greedy, selfish people wanted. The crazy thing is, the reason why I wanted to be rich was completely un-greedy—I just wanted to have enough money to take care of my family! And I can’t tell you how often I’ve heard similar stories from my clients over the years. It’s small—but powerful—events like this over our entire lives that have taught most of us to think, feel, and relate to money the way we do. AKA: Almost always in an incredibly negative way*… …Guilt for wanting more …Unworthiness when it comes to having and enjoying more money …Lack, fear, and desperation when we think about making more The problem is, it’s not obvious how to change this… You can’t logic yourself out of it. Just like you can’t logic the way you feel about someone. (“They’re perfect on paper, but…I just don’t feel that spark.”) You can’t release it through just repeating affirmations. And unless you have a deep understanding and experience with psychology, mindset, energetics, and emotions, you can’t “manifest” your way out of it either. Because our relationship with money is so much deeper than that. Otherwise, with all the budgeting advice, affirmations, and manifestation teachings, we’d all be better off financially by now. So when none of those worked for me, I took things into my own hands. And in the process of making—not to mention wasting, losing, spending, investing, and having—millions, I figured out how to… …Change the way I thought about money …Transform how I feel about it …Release my fears around it …Strengthen my personal identity related to it And… …Develop my self-worth independent of it In doing so, I learned how to attract and receive money with ease. Make it in a way that fits my goals, strengths, personality, and lifestyle. And, use it to support my dreams and mission. Along the way, I also taught what I’d figured out to many others so they could make more money in their businesses than they ever thought possible (like making 6- to 7-figures annually and building 6- to 7-figure net worths). Ultimately, here’s what I want you to know: Yes, you can make more money than you ever imagined. AND have a fabulous life with your loved ones. AND be a wonderful person who’s an incredible force for good. It’s the reason why I created Self-Made. So more people like you and me—good people—can learn how to transform our relationship with money. And as a result, make and have a lot more of it with ease. While changing our businesses, our lives, and the world, for the better. So if you’re ready to join me in becoming Self-Made too… I’d love to see you inside the course: [luisazhou.com/self-made]() Enrollment closes in just a few hours tonight. Luisa Zhou *PS - Side note: For a lot of my clients, right up until we uncover these emotions, they think they’re “good” with money because they had great salaries in corporate. The reason why a “good” relationship with money in your job doesn’t necessarily translate to a good relationship with money in your business is because we’ve been taught that it’s normal and OK to strive for a good salary. Like good grades. But making money on your own is a whole other beast. That’s why Self-Made focuses specifically on your relationship with money in your business. So you can master it in this completely different context. [Facebook]( [YouTube]( [Instagram]( [Unsubscribe]( Zhou Ventures, Inc. P.O. Box 2545 New York, New York 10163-2545 United States
