Dean Graziosi asks you to track every thought you have about money for a week and notice whether you see it as positive or negative. Your relationship with money shapes how you earn and keep it.
Hey, everybody. Dean Graziosi, welcome to the Weekly Wisdom. It's an honor and a privilege and a pleasure to have you here. Okay, I'm going to do a two part weekly wisdom on money. Yes, money. I'm going to break it up in two parts because I'm going to give you a little assignment this week first. I want you to figure out this week what your relationship to money is in today's world is so darn confusing. We're in this society that's talking about, you know, should more people be eating equal and money's bad, and that top 1% is making too much and it's ruining the middle class and poverty is rising. I'm not saying it's true or not. It's got this negative feel towards all of it. Rather than this aspirational, can we fix it? It's more this, like, negative. This new generation. It's hard to figure out your relationship with money. I'm not condemning it. I'm saying it's just relevant. You know it, you feel it. So we have this relationship with money. Where is it evil? But is it the thing you worry about more than anything else? Is it the thing that causes more relationships to end? More anxiety medication? Is it the thing that makes you think too much and stress and get an ulcer? Is it the thing that makes you be too short with your kids or not have enough time for your kids? So this relationship is crazy. It's like money. Is it evil? Is it ruining the world? But it's the thing I worry about the most. I say this a lot, but right now you're not thinking about the oxygen in the room. But if I could reach through the camera and grab your throat and choke you, you wouldn't think about anything else but the oxygen in the room. And money is the same way. If there's not enough coming in, you feel choked. And your assignment for this week is simply this. I want you to figure out what your relationship with money is. And I would love for you whether it's just in your head. I know a lot of you do this literal, and I hope you do. Take a pen and paper on your smartphone. And every time you think about money, it's going to be more than you think. Every time money comes into your mind, whatever that thought is, jot it down for a day, two days. I'd love for you to do it for a week and figure out what is your relationship with money. Do you despise it? Do you hate it? Do you want it so bad? But you're mad at it because like a relationship that goes away from you. Do you need money counseling? It's like marriage counseling. It's like you're sitting on the couch between you and money. I'm sitting on the couch. I want to figure out what is your relationship. Do you hate each other? Do you hate money? Do you despise money? Are you jealous of money? Are you pissed at money? Are you glad? What is your relationship? That's my assignment in this two part series on money. It's really important because next week I'm going to finish this up by sharing what I see is a healthy relationship with money. I and what it can do for you. So that's your assignment this week. Figure out what your relationship is. Take your assignment this week, write it down, jot it down, think about if you want, post it below when you start thinking about it. If you're@dingaziosi.com, you can post it below. If you see this on Facebook, post it below what you think your relationship with money is. After you analyze it, don't just guess.
