At some point in everyone’s life, you’ll be broke or have very little money. This situation can be temporary if you do what you need to figure it out. Admitting you’re broke or lacking money

 

So, everybody at some point in their
life is probably broke or you don’t have
much money. But being broke, it is a
temporary situation. You’re going to do
what you need to do in order to figure
it out and not be broke. But when you
actually admit to people that you may be
broke or that you just don’t have any
money, it basically puts you
automatically in a position of weakness.
The first reason why you should never
say you’re broke is that it damages your
self-identity. When you actually
proclaim or say, “Hey, I’m broke.” It
diminishes your self-worth. It also
makes you subconsciously not feel as
valuable as other people. And the truth
is, you are as valuable as everybody
else, but right now you’re going through
a financial situation. The situation
will improve if you improve it. Number
two, it kills your potential
opportunity. All right? Whether or not
it’s professionally, romantically,
people don’t invest in people that say
or proclaim that they’re broke because
it diminishes once again your value. It
also makes you seem a bit unstable and
not worth taking time to invest further
in desperate. It also makes you seem a
little bit desperate if I’m being
honest. And one of the other things that
happens is when you say you’re broke or
you’re poor or you don’t have any money
or when you’re actually saying it out
loud to somebody else, like what is the
what is the motivation by doing that?
All right. For me, whenever I hear
somebody say that, it makes me feel like
they’re asking for a handout or like
they want me to give them something that
they don’t actually deserve or they
didn’t work for. Number three, it
programs a scarcity mindset. When you
say that you’re broke, you’re not just
describing your bank account. You’re
basically telling your brain that you
are operating from a state of fear,
limitation. And this is something that
when said enough, your brain is actually
going to believe it. You’re going to
start to actually think of yourself as
that broke individual. And you’re going
to think that you can’t ever accomplish
that thing that you were wanting to do
or you’re never going to get out of this
situation. You know, one of the things
that holds people back when they grow up
in poverty is basically the fact that
they get comfortable
feeling the way that they feel. They’re
comfortable being in that position
because basically everybody around them
is broke. Everybody around them doesn’t
have everybody does operate from a
scarcity mindset. But if you get
uncomfortable and you’re uncomfortable
being in this situation, you can break
free of it. But you’ve got to train your
brain to understand that you can do it.
there is more out there and you can grab
it. Which brings me to the fourth
reason. It repels wealth. Literally, by
you saying it, by you proclaiming it, it
basically sets yourself up to never be
able to look at those opportunities and
achieve the things that you could
potentially achieve. Right? It’s the
same reason why people stay stuck. They
stay down. They stay out. All right? I
don’t want you ever to feel like you
can’t achieve something. I don’t want
you to ever look at your current
situation and think it’s never going to
get better. You know, for me, one of the
things that I was ultra aware of when I
was growing up was the fact that we had
less than most people. And I was always
really embarrassed about it, but I would
never say it out loud. I would never own
the fact that, yeah, we’re poor. I
wouldn’t do that. I didn’t want anybody
looking at me that way. I didn’t want
anybody pitying me. I didn’t want
anybody looking at me like I was
worthless or worth less than them. Which
brings me to the last reason and the
biggest reason in my opinion. When you
say that you’re broke, people perceive
you that way. It shapes your identity.
People don’t want to be around broke
people because it’s negative, right?
It’s depressing. All right? We want to
be around people that are uplifting,
optimistic, that have achieved things or
that are going to achieve things. And
like I said at the beginning of this
video, you are in a temporary situation.
This is not who you are. When you claim
or say that you’re broke, you are
defining who you are to everybody else.
People hear you. And the other reality
is that when people hear you say this,
they don’t want to really invest. They
don’t want to be around you because once
again, it makes them feel bad. It makes
you look like you’re saying you’re a
victim of whatever your circumstances or
life. And either way, it’s a buzzkill,
honestly. And it’s not something I ever
want you to say or ever have come out of
your mouth. You are powerful. You’re
amazing. You might not have a lot of
money right now, but you’re getting
there. You’re going to do the things you
need to do in order to achieve your
goals. Being broke is a mindset.
