76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.* That means 3 out of every 4 Americans are just one emergency away from financial disaster.

Can the way you talk, think and feel about money affect how much you have?

ABSOLUTELY!

In fact, most of us never consider our money language nor how it could drastically affect how much we have.

Start by asking yourself what type of environment you’d like to create in your life.

If money wasn’t an issue, what kind of life would you be living?

Would you be doing the same type of work or something else? Are you tied to a particular profession because of money? Or would you do the exact same thing you’re doing today?

Next, pay attention to the money language you’re speaking.

Pay attention to the words you use when it comes to money. Do you make statements like, “I could never afford that.” or “Money doesn’t grow on trees?”

If so, you could be speaking the money language of scarcity.

Do you speak of money as a tool for freedom or are you anxious and stressed when you talk about money?
