In our traditional education system, we are taught to be good employees and conform to societal norms, but we aren't taught the essential skill of earning money.

According to the late Bob Proctor, money is earned by providing service and the more valuable service you provide, the more money you'll make. However, this basic knowledge about earning money is generally overlooked in our schooling.

Money plays a crucial role in our lives and our relationship with it impacts every aspect of our being.

Unfortunately, most people inherit their money values and mindset from their parents (the good and the bad), leaving them woefully unprepared to use money effectively as a tool for expansion and creative expression. It's essential to recognise that money is a neutral currency that can facilitate the realisation of our mission, but we need to change our mindset to harness its full potential.

Changing our paradigm requires a shift in our thoughts, actions, and words, and all three elements need to work in tandem to achieve powerful results.

Books, podcasts and teachings are excellent resources to transform our money story and cultivate a healthy relationship with money. Here are some recommendations:

Jen Sincero's book You Are A Badass At Making Money helps to reframe our beliefs about money and unleash our earning potential.
Marie Forleo's podcast episode What Rich People Teach Their Kids About Money, featuring Damond Johns, shares valuable insights on financial literacy and building wealth.
The School of Greatness podcast special episode 5 Principles For A Wealth & Happy Life summarises teachings from Bob Proctor's book providing practical strategies to create a rich life.
Napoleon Hill's classic Think & Grow Rich provides a blueprint for achieving financial freedom.
Desiree Pais's company Benshen offers prosperity teachings and workshops to help individuals create a life of abundance.
Deepak Chopra's Creating Affluence teaches us to align with the natural principles of the universe to attract wealth.
Episode 89 of Vedic Worldview podcast with Thom Knoles which explores the Vedic perspective on money and spirituality.

Additionally, some books on my reading list that I haven’t yet gotten around to but keep coming up as one’s to check out include:

I Will Teach You To Be Rich by Ramit Sethi
Money A Love Story by Kate Northrup
Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

Ultimately, our ability to earn and manage money has a significant impact on our lives and the world around us.

By shifting our mindset and adopting a more conscious approach to money, we can transform our relationship with it from one of stress and scarcity to one of abundance and possibility. Armed with the right tools and resources, we have the power to not only achieve financial stability but also use money as a means of creative expression and making a positive impact on the world.
