Did you know that most people block prosperity because of hidden beliefs about money? This article gives you seven tips to create yourself to be a "money magnet."

Tip 1: Identify your Money Type

According to Deborah Price, author of Money Magic, we all identify with certain money archetypes. For example, when money issues come up, do you bury your head in the sand, like an ostrich? Then most likely your type is called The Innocent. If you're not The Innocent, you might be The Victim, The Tyrant, The Warrior, The Martyr, The Fool or The Magician.

Tip 2: What was your conditioning about money?

What old beliefs did you receive from your parents, teachers and the society around you about money? Many of my clients report that their old beliefs include:

• "earning money means punching a time clock"

• "money is scarce"

• "money is evil"

Which of these have you struggled with?

Tip 3: What are your updated beliefs about money?

Since nature abhors a vacuum, then after you release your old Beliefs about money, put in some empowered beliefs that cause you to become a money magnet. These beliefs might sound something like this:

• "I am increasingly magnetic to money"

• "My income always exceeds my expenses"

• "I am highly worth of being prosperous"

Tip 4: Create a New Money Type for Yourself

According to "Money Magic," the ideal type to strive for is the "magician." Why? Because the "magician" claims his/her own power and manifests his/her own financial reality.

Tip 5: Use the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction simply states that you get what you focus on. So if you focus on the lack of money, the difficulty of paying bills and the fears about whether you can support yourself, then you will receive more of that in return. The solution? Easy, every time you find yourself focusing on what you don't want, stop yourself and say, "So, what do I want?"

Tip 6: Tame your Inner Gremlin

Do you have a voice that berates you? Do you find that it's impossible to please that voice? Then undoubtedly, you are dealing with your Inner Gremlin, also known as the Inner Critic.

It's busy telling you that you aren't worthy of having money.

"Who are you to be prosperous?" it will say. It will probably badger you until you turn this voice into an ally who will say, "You deserve an abundance of prosperity."

Tip 7: Plan your work and work your plan

When you have finally let go of your old beliefs about money, you will find it much easier to create an effective business plan. More importantly, you'll be much more able to implement that plan and manifest prosperity when you are a money magnet.
