This is the dreaded topic no one likes to discuss, but I promise this won't hurt. We won't be administering any shots or pulling teeth. Before we continue though, let's do a quick recap. Previously, we talked about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who have what you want. This is important because you can't spend your time with people who bring you down when you want to go higher.

I'm not suggesting you dump your friends, but I am suggesting you consider the nature of your environment. It is a fact that your salary falls within a certain percentage of the people you spend most of your time with. Think about how the people around you relate to money. Are they enjoying financial freedom or do they constantly complain about being broke?

The goal is to expand your awareness of how money works and spend time with people who have and get money on a consistent basis. This is what you are doing when you spend time with people who have what you want. They must be doing something right if they have financial freedom.

Wealthy people know that money is nothing more than a form of energy ? they know that when you think about money in the right way, it will be drawn to you. Many think that the only way to get to financial freedom is to work long and hard ? but there's more to it than that.

To attract money, what you have to do is to first develop a good relationship with money. Think about it ? if money is a form of energy, it's all around you right now ? you just have to learn how to attract it.

This is the secret that the wealthy understand and the major principle that separates the wealthy from the poor. And this is why it's important to feel good about what you do for a living, because the better you feel about it, the better your relationship to the money aspect of working becomes. Let me explain.

If you want to become a success, the best thing that you could do is to feel good about your work. Look at the most successful people in the world ? they do what they love and love what they do. You can of course make money doing things you don't like to do, but this will limit your success. This is because you are doing something which does not match up with the things you truly want.

You also have to keep company wit people who have money already; notice how differently they behave. You'll never hear wealthy people say "I can't afford it". They are well aware that money is a form of energy and there is no such thing as not having enough; just not attracting it effectively. Your attitude (or energy alignment) determines how well you will be able to attract this energy to you. The wealthy feel good about money, while the poor worry about money.

In order to attract this energy to you, all you need to do is to establish a positive relationship with money. This will draw wealth to you like a magnet.
