The speaker (Vishen Lakhiani) explains the analogy of a "money thermostat": an internal setpoint that keeps your income around a certain level. Even if you work harder or increase effort, your income tends to return to that setpoint unless you intentionally change it. The speaker provides a simple method to estimate your current money thermostat: average your monthly cash received over the past six months, then consciously choose a new thermostat if you want to increase abundance.

If the thermostat has set to a certain temperature in a room let's say it's set to keep the room really hot and it's really cold outside and you open all the doors and cold air comes in what is it going to do? It's going to work on overdrive to keep the room at the same temperature right? Your money thermostat works the same way what this means is that your thermostat set in this place even if you do more, even if you dream bigger even if you do double the amount of hours even if you work harder you still kind of earn the same amount of money. Now if you want to figure out what your thermost simply take your income your cash received over the last six months per month right? So you take your monthly amount for the last six months take an average of that that's your thermostat and then from there we get to start choosing a new thermostat right? If we're not intentional about it it won't shift.
