3 Toxic Beliefs That Are Silently Keeping You Broke

In The Money Blueprint, one of the first things I talk about is your mindset and the beliefs that hold you back.

You can have all the strategies in the world, but if your mind is wired for scarcity, you’ll stay broke no matter how hard you work.

In the ebook, I cover five distinct beliefs that sabotage financial success. But in this post, I’ll focus on the three that I believe are doing the most damage.

If you don’t eliminate these toxic beliefs, you’ll never build real wealth.

1. “Money is the Root of All Evil”

You’ve heard this one your entire life. Maybe from parents, teachers, or even society.

It’s one of the biggest lies ever told.

Money isn’t evil. It’s just a tool. And it’s neutral. It simply amplifies who you already are.

If you’re a good person, more money means you can do more good. If you’re a bad person, well, you can do more bad things.

But that’s a people problem, not a money problem.

The people who scream the loudest about money being evil are usually the ones who are broke and bitter.

They use it as an excuse to stay in their comfort zone instead of figuring out how to create real wealth.

2. “Rich People Are Greedy”

This belief is the reason so many people never allow themselves to become rich. They associate wealth with corruption, greed, and selfishness.

And deep down, they don’t want to be seen that way.

But here’s the thing, yes, some rich people are greedy. But so are some poor people.

Greed has nothing to do with money and everything to do with character.

If you want to get rich, you don’t have to steal, cheat, or manipulate. You just need to create value.

The biggest wealth builders in history, people like Jeff Bezos, Oprah Winfrey, and Henry Ford, didn’t get there by cheating and manipulating people. They got there by giving massive value to the marketplace.

So please, drop the “rich people are bad” narrative.

Because if you truly believe that, you’ll subconsciously push money away in an effort to avoid becoming what you hate.

3. “I’m Not Smart Enough to Get Rich”

This belief is the ultimate dream killer. The idea that you need to be a genius, have a perfect plan, or understand every little detail before making money is complete nonsense.

Look around, some of the richest people on the planet barely made it through high school. They aren’t the smartest in the room, they’re just the ones who took massive action.

Success isn’t about IQ. It’s about execution.

The difference between those who stay broke and those who build wealth is simple, wealthy people do, fail, learn, and keep going.

Broke people sit on the sidelines, making excuses about why they “can’t.”

Its Time to Break Free

These beliefs aren’t just harmless thoughts, they’re chains keeping you stuck.

If you want to escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and build real wealth, you need to cut them loose now.

Start by reprogramming your mind. Do that by surrounding yourself with people who think bigger.

Start reading books, listening to podcasts, and most importantly, taking massive action.

Its time to stop waiting, and start building.

Now get to it!
