Tony: “So you are obviously interested in money and yet we’ve got these “mind viruses”, not physical viruses that makes us physically sick, but mind viruses, like if I say to you …

.. Money doesn’t grow on _____ …

… you already know what to say “Money doesn’t grow on trees!”

… If I say to you “We may not have a lot of money but at least we’re” blank ….

… fill in the blank with whatever you have heard. Because you know you have heard somebody say something like that.

… “We may not have a lot of money but at least we’re … honest”

… “We may not have a lot of money but at least we’re … love God”

… “We may not have a lot of money but at least I love my family”

AS IF …

… as if you can’t have money and be spiritual, or be a great church member or be a great Christian..

… as if you can’t have money and simultaneously love your children.

We hear these “mind viruses” and they get ingrained in your subconscious.

So tell me, what would happen…

.. if a man or a woman has in their mind the belief that “if I make a lot of money that that would just open the door for the devil to come in and tear up my life.”

Or as a non-religious example, “if I make a lot of money a lot of wealthy people don’t have time for their children.”

If you picture a man or a woman who has that kind of belief in their head, and yet over here on the other side, they’re working night and day to try and make more money to come in, can you not see?

Your belief system will not allow you to get that money!

The internal workings of your mind will not allow you to get too much money because your mind is programmed for your survival. And that includes emotional survival.

Our brains have evolved to let us know to flee from danger. Our minds have evolved to do whatever it takes for survival.

So if being broke is who you are, like, as an identity?

Because you get an emotional payoff in your life?

Because you can say “Well I may not have a lot of money but at least I’m spiritual”, or “I may not have a lot of money but at least I love my family”?

Well, you have programmed yourself that the only way you can love your family or have a great spiritual life is if you are struggling to make ends meet. You can repel money away from you faster than you can ever imagine. I did it. I did it for years. This is how people destroy their lives. Every leader I know at Empower Network, every millionaire I know, will say this…

“If you don’t clean up the head stuff, it doesn’t matter what you are doing externally, you can’t get the money”

So the invitation I have for you tonight is to get engaged in the kind of personal development – this is what we teach at Empower Network – we teach you how to make friends with money. It’s part of what we do here.

Some of you, this is a breath of fresh air. You already know that you are not hearing this anywhere else. You didn’t hear it in class, in school, you are not hearing it behind the pulpit, you are not hearing it in the news, we have got to get that cleared up. And that’s a part of what we are teaching here at Empower Network.

Let me share this with you too, because I don’t want you to have assumptions about this. This is not the kind of community that will tell you about prosperity consciousness – some companies would even teach you to buy expensive cars and get into debt so you can show it off to others. That’s not what we do at Empower Network.
