Welcome everybody to the Chris Harder show where we are making you unapologetic about your pursuit of success knowing that when good people like you make good money they can then do great things.

My name is Chris Harder and several times per week I will bring you epic guests solo episodes and every single tool trick and skills that you need to grow your business grow your money mindset and to grow your wealth to levels that you have never reached before.

I've ended up in a unique place in life where I've got the experience the connections and all the secrets that it takes to be successful and I'm lifting the curtain to reveal it all to you in an effort to help put you in a position of abundance so great that you can then be as generous as possible.

So let's lock arms and let's get started.

Hey everybody welcome back to the Chris Harder show it's another money Monday here where we talk about all things that have to do with your money how to make more money how to save more money create more money and of course how to think and behave with your money.

And today I actually just want to talk about your opportunity to make more money see it is dramatically affected by how you see the world.

And what made this come up for me is we just had my brother in law Taylor move out here from Green Bay Wisconsin to Scottsdale and he just started working for us full time.

And he was telling us how excited he is and how he sees all this opportunity and and the buzz out here feels so positive and and that it didn't feel that way back home.

And by the way this is not a condemnation of any one town over another he was just saying the circle he was running in and a lot of things surrounding him weren't subconsciously telling him that opportunity was a bound and that the economy was working in his favor.

And then he got out here and he's like my god there's opportunity everywhere everyone seems to be thriving everyone's having fun and the economy out here seems to be working in his favor even though he's only been out here for a week.

And then we went yesterday after Lori spoke at an event to get a bite to eat at this beautiful restaurant so we went out for brunch and it's a really high end kind of brunchy restaurant.

And the place was packed I mean table after table turning over people dressed up people haven't fun.

And I thought man the economy here is just booming and when you're surrounded in this buzz it makes it feel like you want to grab a piece of all this money changing hands and you look around you realize people around me are thriving so I can thrive too.

And it reinforces your goals that reinforces the lifestyle that you're trying to build.

And then after that we walked into the mall that was adjacent to this store or to this restaurant and we popped into Rolex and this is where as like wow talk about perspective we popped into Rolex the watch store and they had only two men's watches available in the entire store and only four women's watches available in the entire store and he said all other watches are at least 90 days out or longer.

Guys these are you know 15 25 $50,000 watches and so once again I had this moment of my God the whole store is sold out and if you know anything about the luxury watch market right now it's a great metaphor for the amount of money changing hands even used watches are doubling in price right now and it tells you that people are doing better than ever not everybody but a lot of people.

And this is the whole point you're either going to concentrate consciously and subconsciously on the people who are struggling and that's going to tell you that there's not much opportunity or you're going to concentrate consciously and subconsciously on the people that are thriving and that's going to reinforce to you both consciously and subconsciously that heck yeah I can hit my goals and heck yes I want a slice of this pie that's that everyone's exchanging right now.

Your environment and you've heard this before is always going to be stronger than your goals and your willpower and so you need to carefully craft your environment to reinforce the great big audacious lifestyle that you are entitled to build for yourself and there's four things that you can do a self audit on to see if your perspective is reinforcing the lifestyle you're trying to build.

Or accidentally sabotaging the lifestyle that you're trying to build there's four things that you do a self audit on that is the people the places the propaganda and your self gratitude practices the people the places the propaganda and the self gratitude practices so let me break each of those down real quick for you the people.

I would highly encourage you to grab a pen and a piece of paper and to write down the five six seven eight nine ten people that you interact with the most day in and day out and then next to their names obviously is not exercise that you're necessarily going to share next to their names you're going to put a yes or a no yes that person helps to reinforce the lifestyle that you're entitled to build or no.

That person accidentally is sabotaging the lifestyle that you are trying to build and notice I say accidentally most people in your life aren't evil they're not like I'm going to crush Chris's goals and he's not going to see it coming now instead they're just caught up in their own mock right the caught up in their own challenges and they tend to unload that on you without even realizing the effect that it might have on you they have their own paradigms and their own belief and they place those on you without realizing the effect that it might have on you.
