Women and Money — What Stands Between You and Wealth
How we can make the world a better place and still enjoy a latte
Often women sabotage their ability to earn with their beliefs.
T. Harv Eker writes when we look at rich people and think, “They’re so lucky,” or “those rich jerks,” we are hurting our earning power. If you dislike rich people, then your subconscious will resist wealth. “How can you become something that you hate?”
Girls especially are raised to be nice — not jerks.
My attitude about money began in church with my parents, where I was told:
“I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” ~Matthew 19:24, King James Bible
“Wow! I better not get rich,” little 7-year-old me thought.
Or:
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” ~Matthew 6:24, Good News Translation
I believed I shouldn’t ‘serve’ or focus on money much. I just wanted enough for myself and my family.
