Becoming Wealthy Starts With Understanding Money

Ultimate Internet Bootcamp. Put on by my friends and mentors, Harv Eker and Alex Mandossian, it is helping over 300 people literally create an online business from the ground up, and to make their first dollar and “turn pro”. Yesterday, someone came up to me at the break and wanted to share a story about one of the articles that I wrote. He told me that he had given it to his step-son, and said that it changed his entire view of money. He wanted, in his words, to thank me for “having a life changing impact on his family“. (THIS is why I do what I do by the way .. !  Knowing that I’m having an impact.  I have a lump in my throat as I’m typing this …) The article he was referring to was something that I wrote a few years ago called, “I Am Money”.  I wrote it because I was so frustrated that most people have NO idea what money is really all about, and have a really unhealthy relationship with money. I believe there are 3 primary reasons why most people fail with money: 1) They don’t even understand what money actually IS (and it’s not what you’re taught) 2) They don’t understand how money really works (how to attract it and what repels it) 3) They’ve never learned the ‘rules of the game’ that the financial industry plays It all starts with #1 — understanding what money actually IS. In hearing John’s story about how it had completely changed the perspective of his stepson, I realized the impact this article could have, so I simply thought I’d share it with you here. Learn How Money Really WorksYou can download the article, “I Am Money”, by clicking here —->  I_Am_Money.pdf It’s only 4 pages long, and if you’re not exactly where you want to be with money, I hope that this article gives you a different perspective that you’ve never had before. I would also ask that you SHARE this blog post and the article with people that you know in your life that might benefit.  I believe this article will help a lot of people start down the road to becoming more educated and confident with money, so you’re helping me share a great message. Thank you for that. So download the article here, and then PLEASE post a comment below and share your thoughts on what you read!]]>

  1. Hey Greg,

    I loved the report! Simple, but a great perspective. Kind of reminded me of Eben Pagan's "Self-Made Wealth"-program.

    Anyway, I shared it viá Twitter. Great value, just had to spread it. 🙂

    Have a nice day and keep up the good work!

  2. Hey Greg,

    For the last six months I have been repeating the affirmation "I am money" as a part of my personal daily business ritual.

    Reiterating this one point of the true nature of everything in my reality (among others) has entirely altered my world in relationship to work and money.

    I liked your article and am a big fan of your work overall!

    Keep it up and thank you!

  4. Hi Greg. You know I read almost all of your stuff which is always top notch but this paper is by far the best thing you have writen. Every once in a while I go back and read it just for a refreshing look at how the whole Money thing really works. It truly is a mental game.

    Enjoy california!

  6. Thank you so much for sharing, and I will do the same. Very simple concept that has taken me almost a lifetime to learn after being brought up with a scarcity mentality.

  10. Very apt Greg. Some years ago whilst doing my psychotherapy course we worked this one.
    I remember very well the lecturer stating that wealth is relative to a persons thoughts. Indeed many very wealthy people FEEL POOR whilst many less well off FEEL RICH.
    Occasionally I lose sight of this but always come back to remember that MY thoughts and feelings of well being, strength, love, kindness etc. – are what brings people to me or not.
    As the case may be.
    After all, money is just an energy like any other. Sometimes we have a lot, sometimes apparently not enough and sometimes just enough.
    As a self employed person for the last 18 years
    – after being 'an employee working as a nurse and midwife for 28 years when regardless of my thoughts whether busy or not the salary was always paid at the end of the month'-
    I have learned how very careful I need to be with my thoughts.
    Have also learned that if I really NEED something and APPARENTLY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH money for it. I simply place an order, go ahead and do it. Then, the money comes to pay for it in the form of more clients seeking my assistance in their specific need according to the tools in my tool box. (sometimes just in the nick of time)
    This has served me well and whilst not mega rich, have never been in debt and always have enough. Much to be grateful for. PERHAPS my own picture is not BIG enough to get to mega rich ha ha.

  12. Excellent paper on money, It is true about life as a whole also though. I am vacationing in Norway as I write. These last few years have had some huge challenges, 25 year old son dying, wife almost dying last year, wife 59 days hospital this year, mother just passing away 3 weeks ago. I retired from Calgary Fire Dept. with 28+ years, 2 months ago. Money means nothing if we cannot enjoy it with the people we love, or help people who are in need. Life is what you make it so enjoy it while you can, money is just a part of life, so enjoy it also. The making of it, the spending of it, the sharing and giving of it. The are all important.

  14. Hey Greg,
    your article Iam money, is very interesting and gavre me a new aspect about the money,
    I wrote an article about the money,and financial asset and how they functionin the economy
    and the society.

    when we want to know how money really works, we have to learn somethings in the Macroeconomy.

  18. Greg,

    I prefer # 9 because it appears to show up bolder than the others. More depth of color.

  20. Hi Greg, although I’ve heard these kind of ideas before I’ve never seen them put in exactly this way. If I take your idea that money is just energy and an idea from above – to say ‘I am money’ as an affirmation, I may gradually understand that as money is made of the same substance as myself some of my current ideas about money make no sense.

  22. I just finished reading your article on I Am Money given to me by a friend. It reminds me of a law called The Law of Attraction I have been living by ever since I heard it thru Esther Hicks in 1992. How we live, in my opinion, all depends on our vibration, ‘mood’, beliefs, etc. when it comes to any subject including money. Are we thinking the lack of it or the abundance of it? It is always our choice and our doing no matter what the outcome is. It is nice to see how this way of thinking is growing exponentially by being accepted into the business world. I still remember a time where I was seen as a spiritual nutcase with this way of thinking, I was way ahead of the pack!

    I enjoyed your article and let it continue to attract like minded people.

  26. I have downloaded and read this article. Infact I have had it printed and pasted on my kitchen wall.
    So i can read it whenever I want. It is the most profound and in-depth and even spritual explanation of money. People are so focused on the actual dollars an cents that it actually makes real sense to undestand the Roots of Money?

    Why hasnt anybody thot of this before?

    Good work:)
