Notice the pattern here.... people who are successful and wealthy think one way about money. People who aren't so successful think an entirely different way about money.
The idea is to shift your thinking and awareness to be aligned with the people who have accomplished what you want to accomplish.
If you want to be wealthy, you need to start thinking like somebody who is wealthy.
Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" is a great place to start.
