Many times, we get so caught up in our own desires that we forget to think about the money we could be earning.

When we focus on what we want, we begin to make money. When we focus on what we don’t want, we lose money.

Money Doesn't Grow on Trees!

Now, the ability to make money doesn't just fall into your lap. You have to put in the effort to earn it.

In fact, the biggest challenge I found is people believing that they have some sort of right to earn money without putting in the work.

Commons Ways We Sabotage Our Ability to Make Money

So, I'm going to share with you three ways we sabotage our ability to make money.

1. We focus on our fears, rather than focusing on our goals.

Fear and failure are two things that people spend a lot of their lives avoiding. We worry about things that might happen. But the truth is, we don’t need to fear failure. In fact, we should focus on our goals and not our fears.

2. We believe in the myth that "luck" plays a role in how well we perform.

Most of us are familiar with the term luck. We hear about people being "lucky" when they get the right combination of skills and luck and go for their dream job. It seems like there's a lot of luck involved in getting that job or desired 

3. We are afraid of getting into a rut and lose motivation.

If you are in a rut, you feel like you are running in place. You think you will never get anywhere. You feel stuck. You see yourself going nowhere and getting nowhere. The problem is you're looking at the wrong place. Your life is not stagnant. You are in the middle of a constant stream of change.

4. We get discouraged by the statistics that show most people do not make a significant income from their passion. 

We are constantly bombarded with statistics about how few people ever make a significant income from their passion. For example, I was reading an article yesterday and came across this statistic:

According to the article, only 1% of those who quit their jobs to pursue their passions ever make more than $10,000 a year from their passion. Wow! That sounds like a lot of people out there giving up their dreams and lives. Maybe I am one of them!

But I have to admit that this statistic did not surprise me. I have heard countless stories from friends about how they have given up their jobs in pursuit of their passion. I know some of them still work for someone else, and some of them are even making more than $10,000 a year from their passion. But for the most part, their incomes are not very high, especially considering how much they sacrificed to make their dream come true.

So why does the statistic surprise me? Because it does not represent all people who give up their job to pursue their passion.

In conclusion, the only thing standing between us and financial freedom is our own inability to recognize our own barriers to earning.

We fail to realize that we are sabotaging ourselves from achieving financial freedom, and that’s because we have a habit of not being aware of our own financial habits.

We live in a world where money is a constant focus. If we’re not focusing on money, then we’re focused on something else. And that something else is often the wrong focus.
