You were warned about "get rich quick" schemes.
But they forgot to mention the "stay broke for life" scams.
After more than 4 decades studying wealth psychology I can tell you that there is a toxic belief doesn't just limit your income
It makes financial freedom IMPOSSIBLE.
Understand: the greatest generals, the most creative strategists, stand out not because they have more knowledge but because they are able, when necessary, to drop their preconceived notions and focus intensely on the present moment. That is how creativity is sparked and opportunities are seized. Knowledge, experience, and theory have limitations: no amount of thinking in advance can prepare you for the chaos of life, for the infinite possibilities of the moment. The great philosopher of war Carl von Clausewitz called this “friction”: the difference between our plans and what actually happens. Since friction is inevitable, our minds have to be capable of keeping up with change and adapting to the unexpected. The better we can adapt our thoughts to changing circumstances, the more realistic our responses to them will be. The more we lose ourselves in predigested theories and past experiences, the more inappropriate and delusional our response.

I went into the bathroom and saw a pregnancy test that had been in the drawer unused for a few years. I realized I was weeks late--I literally hadn't bothered to think about it. There was no way, but I thought I might as well take the last test.
The instant I looked at it, it was dark pink positive. I went into a fugue state, laughing, delirious. I mindlessly took a shower to buy myself time. Finally my husband knocked on the door to see what was taking me so long. I was in a towel, laughing. I could not speak. I just pointed wordlessly at the test on the bathroom counter.
Poor man. I'd given him no warning, no heads up. His cold reaction reminds me of the reaction in this wonderful commercial. The color drained out of his face. For a second he looked horror stricken.
Then he lit up, tears in his eyes, laughing deliriously with me.
She's seven now and the greatest gift I have ever or will ever receive.
