Hey Friends,

I’m so glad you’ve joined me for this series, Winning the Game of Money. You don’t want to miss ANY of these special video trainings. You’re going to learn how to retrain your brain to win the inner game of money, so you can achieve the financial success you desire… the OUTER game of money!

You’ve heard me describe how fears, doubts, excuses, stories, anxiety, lack of confidence and uncertainty can really clog up your “brain pipe”, affecting your life and your ability to achieve financial success. These things consciously and subconsciously KEEP YOU from taking the actions that allow you to achieve the financial life, the freedom and lifestyle you desire. In this series you’re going to get the knowledge, understanding and the tools to breakthrough these things to have the Mastermind Life you deserve. First let’s look a little deeper at what causes these “brain clogs.”

Fear is one of the biggest items clogging our “brain pipes”. We all have different kinds of fears in our life. How you handle your fears determines your beliefs, your habits and the resulting actions that drive your successes and your failures. Some fears you know, but others are subconscious, always running in the background. They can all stop you dead in your tracks, and seriously slow down your progress to financial freedom and independence.

Let’s look at just one common fear as an example of how all of these “brain cloggers” can impact your life and shortcircuit your financial success:

One of our clients, Terry, had a fear of failure.

Whenever he worked on a project he imagined himself making a fool of himself, appearing stupid or dumb. Although Terry feels like he is a smart man, and made good grades in school, he never felt as smart as some of the other kids. At home he was constantly criticized by his father for not trying hard enough and for making constant mistakes. But this caused him to feel that didn’t deserve to achieve financial success, or that he was ever “good enough” and to top it off, he also felt like he was an embarrassment to his parents.

No matter how hard he tried, he never really made progress, and it seemed like the lifestyle he wanted would never become a reality. To protect himself from the embarrassment of failing, Terry never gave 100% effort… he always held back a little. This gave him the “out” he needed to accept mediocrity and achieving less than his personal best. His negative self-talk, procrastination, doubts and sabotaging behaviors kept him from taking the actions he needed to achieve his goals, desires and dreams of a better life.

Terry became used to his comfort zone and his life of underachievement. This conditioned his brain to deal with the world with the assumption that he’d never really succeed. But if he truly wanted to succeed, he COULD choose to give up his old self image and self sabotaging behaviors, couldn’t he? And guess what? If he did that, his brain would comply—and change.

This fear of failing is often the basis of not giving everything your 100% best effort.

The underlying “inner dialogue” is:

� What if I try and still don’t succeed?

� What will others think of me?

� What will I think of me?

� Do I really want to put in that much effort only to have to redo it or try again?

All these inner dialogues cause you to sabotage your actions and stay in your comfort zone. And every time you do, you strengthen the “failure” circuits in your brain a little more. You neurologically give up before you begin. The message sent out by the deep emotional parts of brain are saying, “Why bother? Nothing’s going to change.” It’s a neurological lie based on a false belief.

Can you see how even the most basic fears, doubts, excuses, and other false beliefs can completely stop up your life, clogging the tube between your “knowledge” part and the “do it” part? Remember, whatever YOU CHOOSE to believe directly influences the reality-formation circuits in your brain, so what you perceive as real to YOU becomes the reality in your life.

Fears, worries, and doubts set off a chain reaction in your brain, slowing down key areas in your frontal lobes that make important decisions that directly affect your desired goals. This sets off a series of ancient, primitive responses that shut down our motivational centers, making us fight, flee, or freeze. Think of a cornered animal frozen with fright… These deeply emotional responses are programmed on a genetic level to protect you from harm.

Look what happens in your brain when all this is going on. Your brain literally goes “crazy” with one side of your frontal lobes increasing in activity while the other side slows down. This imbalance sends a warning signal to your amygdala—the “watchdog” section of your reptilian or limbic brain—“Wake up! Pay attention! Something’s going on…it could be dangerous, or interesting or exciting! But it’s not ‘N O R M A L!’” Your amygdala releases stress neurochemicals to prepare you to run or fight or just do nothing. It doesn’t know the difference between real or imagined fear, it’s just trying to protect you like it’s supposed to do.

You may THINK you’re being positive—proactive—decisive, but that’s not what’s going on inside your brain. In fact, this fear response directly interferes with your ability to be proactive or make smart strategic decisions: You can’t act; you can only RE-act.

You may feel tightness in your chest, your breathing may get shallow, you may even feel like that cornered animal… but it’s all just a natural process of your old emotional brain. Dozens of unconscious fears, anxieties, and doubts float in and out of your consciousness every moment and your frontal lobes stay busy creating imaginary scenarios of success or failure, achievement or loss. All these rambling thoughts interfere and choke your ability to think clearly and wisely.

So how do you unclog your brain and release these toxic feelings and thoughts, so you can take control of the decisions and actions that will determine and significantly enhance your financial future?

Neuroscience has shown you can start this process with 3 easy simple steps. These are in your transcript and workbook so you can refer to them later.

1. First, write down the doubts, fears, feelings and uncertainties affecting your life right now. This is the one of the best and neurologically proven ways to defuse the emotional power they have over your life. Make them personal, like “I’m afraid I won’t make enough money” OR “I’m not smart enough” OR “I’m not good enough.”

2. Now read each negative thought out loud. Listen to each one. Notice how it makes you FEEL. Do you feel the growing tension and anxiety? Imagine your life 10 years from now if you keep on believing these thoughts.

3. Next, reframe each negative thought as a powerful, positive declaration, like this: “I KNOW I have ALL the power and intelligence I need to make ALL the money I want RIGHT NOW, AND I deserve it more today than ever before in my life!” See what mean? See the difference? Now say each one of them out loud 4 or 5 times. Which feels better, the positive or negative ones? Which thoughts do YOU want to consciously focus on? Hearing yourself repeat these declarations embeds them deep into your long-term memory. Your brain will begin to access these new thoughts first, leaving the old negative ones inactive. Imagine where you will be 10 years from now by continuing to believe and act on these reframed thoughts.

If you focus on your doubts, fears, and anxieties, you’ll eventually damage those parts of your brain that regulate your emotions. But when you consciously focus, over and over, on the positive reframed thoughts, you can actually SHRINK the size AND Reducing The POWER of the amygdala to cause you emotional stress. You can even increase the thickness of your neocortex and the number of brain cells in those parts of your brain that are involved in making important decisions, making those sections stronger. As you clear away the neurological clogs, you free your brain to help you achieve the financial life and secure lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

Now, here’s what I want you to do—just three things.

First, as soon as your done watching this video, click the link on this page to download your free transcript and workbook for this training. You get this for each video training. Be sure to go back and review parts you may have missed.

Second, set aside the time to go through the four steps I gave you. It will take you less than 10 minutes, but if you don’t, you won’t transform what you’ve learned into an Action Plan to will stimulate your brain to take affirmative action in the real world. It’s pointless to get more knowledge if you don’t APPLY it, and studies show if you don’t APPLY what you learned within a few hours, it will have much less effect on your life. So take an extra ten minutes NOW to change your brain and transform your life.

Finally, watch for my next email for a super special video loaded with even more cutting edge brain training to take YOU to the next level, so you can harness the power of your brain to change your financial life forever.
