Have you ever asked yourself why your finances are broken? I have asked many times. I consider myself educated and knowledgeable. But why I am not successful? Why I never manage to turn my learnings into earnings? I felt so stuck and powerless. My frustration grew bigger. I thought that it was not fair. I was always confused when I met people with very basic education and skills who were wealthy and had great finances. I did not understand the reason, but I was absolutely sure that there was one. I had a barrier to jump over. I made a promise to change my life and my finances. After searching for answers out there and did not find any, I turned the opposite direction and started looking inside. Here is what I discovered.
Barrier 1: Understanding your thoughts. There are billions of thoughts going through the mind. The law of attraction states, “What you focus on extends”.

Remember a happy moment from your past. Find a reason to be grateful.
Barrier 3: Understanding your beliefs. They are the software of the mind. When you fuel your different thoughts with one of the two emotions on a regular basis, you create your beliefs. Do you remember your parents saying: “We can not afford it?” I do. This is the “never enough” belief. It can run your life without you being aware of it. Now that you know how it happens, go inside and search for more beliefs. When you find a belief and name it, you made the first step towards changing it.
