How to become rich by acting rich.

Think of yourself as a rich person, even if you are not…..yet. Rich people know they are rich. They never say things like, “I can’t afford it”. Or, “We don’t have the money”. This kind of negative thinking shuts of your mind to all possibilities. Never, ever use these kind of negative absolute statements out loud or in your own mind. In fact, it is best to remove “Can’t” from your vocabulary permanently.

Instead, use statements like, “We will soon be able to afford it”. Or, “What can I do to afford it”. Or, “How can we get the money”. These kinds of affirmations open up your mind instead of close it off. Once you say something like, “How can I afford it”, you mind starts coming up with ideas and plans for how you can indeed afford it! Try it now!

We said How Can We Afford IT. Also had a garage sale. But we had a bake sale at the same time. Those cookies went for $1 each! Also sold bottles of water for $1. We are thinking about having a BBQ next week.

Before you go to Starbucks this morning, ask youself , "How can I get EXTRA money for Starbucks this morning". Not normal money from your wallet, but extra money. Ask yourself. It is amazing! I took change from my couch and car!

It is creative. I love thinking of new ways to invest! It is all about How. The "C" word is a vulgar word!
