The Shocking Truth: Why You Can't Earn $100,000 and How to Change It Now
The shocking truth is that you’re still broke because you don’t believe you can succeed financially. But the good news is, you have the power to change that.
Let’s get straight to the point - you’re still broke because of your mindset. I know, it sounds harsh, but it’s the truth. If you’re struggling financially, no matter how hard you work, the root cause often lies within your thoughts.
Your financial reality is shaped by the beliefs you hold about money, success, and your own potential. The problem is, too many people continue to operate from a mindset of scarcity, doubt, and limitation. If you want to change your financial situation, you have to start by changing your thinking - now.
Your Thinking Is Keeping You Broke
Think about it. If I ask you how much money you'd like to make it 2025, you may quickly answer $100,000.00 - that is your immediate thought. But then you start thinking, and fear and doubt pop up: “I’ll never make that kind of money,” or “I’m just not good enough to be financially successful,” "I know I'll never make it." That thinking - those limiting beliefs - are the real reason why you’re stuck.
You might work hard, you might have the right skills, you could even attract the perfect opportunity to earn that 100k, but if your mindset, your thinking, isn’t aligned with financial success, you’re going to continue struggling.
Your thinking shapes your reality, and if you don’t believe it’s possible to change your financial future, your actions will follow that belief.
Job #1: Change Your Thoughts
So, how do you break free from this? You change your thinking. The number one job you have if you want to break the cycle of being broke is to shift your mindset. You have to start believing that you are capable of creating the financial future you want. It doesn’t matter where you are right now - what matters is how you choose to think about it.
Start by asking yourself: What would I do if I truly believed I could make money? If you believed you could make $100,000, $500,000, or even a million dollars, how would your actions change? You’d stop playing small. You’d start taking bolder steps, making better decisions, and seeking new opportunities. Believing in your potential is the first step to unlocking your success.
Step #2: Replace Limiting Beliefs with Empowering Thoughts
Once you recognize the limiting beliefs that are holding you back, it’s time to replace them with new, empowering thoughts. Try using affirmations like:
- “I know and affirm that all of the goodness, all of the abundance of the universe continues to flow into my life day.”
- “I deserve and accept $100,000 earned this year, knowing it is just my beginning.”
- “Money and opportunities flow to me easily and abundantly.”
By repeating these affirmations daily, you begin to reprogram your subconscious mind. The more you believe in your potential, the more your actions will align with that belief.
Your mind will start noticing opportunities for making money that you may have overlooked before. This shift in mindset will open doors for financial growth.
Step #3: Take Inspired Action
Changing your mindset is crucial, but nothing happens without action. You can think about making money all day, but without concrete steps, nothing will change.
So, what action are you going to take today? Are you going to start that business you’ve been dreaming about? Ask for a raise? Invest in yourself by learning new skills? The key is to start taking inspired action today! - no matter how small - towards your goal (you do have a concrete goal right?). Every step forward brings you closer to the financial success you desire.
Step #4: Eliminate Negative Influences
Take a hard look at your environment. Are the people you spend time with supporting your financial goals, or are they feeding your self-doubt? If you want to change your financial reality, you need to surround yourself with people who think and act the way you want to. Get rid of the negativity - whether it’s people, social media, or even the news. Surround yourself with positive, like-minded individuals who are focused on growth, success, and abundance.
The Power of Consistency
Consistency is key. Changing your mindset and building wealth doesn’t happen overnight. It requires daily effort, discipline, and persistence. But the more consistently you practice positive thinking and take aligned actions, the faster you’ll start seeing results. Over time, these small shifts will lead to massive changes in your financial situation.
The shocking truth is that you’re still broke because you don’t believe you can succeed financially. But the good news is, you have the power to change that.
By changing your thoughts, taking responsibility, and taking inspired action, you can break free from the cycle of being stuck.
Believe in yourself and your ability to create financial success, and watch how your reality shifts.
The only thing standing between you and the life you want is the way you think about it. Change that, and your future will change.
