Decide to take ownership of your financial destiny.

You can't bury your head in the sand when it comes to money and expect to create more of it, or bring more money into your life.

Whether that's how you manage the money that you earn in a 9-5 job, or how you go about creating value to make more money in your business.

Give your money some love. Pay attention to your money. Keep track of your money. Respect your money and your money will respect you.

Be grateful for your bills because your electricity bill enabled you to run your business from home, your water bill enabled you to wash, and your WiFi bill enabled you to watch your favourite show on Netflix!

Gratitude is the basis of abundance and manifesting more money. If you're not already grateful for what you have, how the hell can you manifest more? You can't manifest more from a place of lack. 

Money is amazing as it gives us options, it's a tool that we can use in exchange to have other services and things in our lives.

You can't create a new result in your life if you keep doing the same thing. If you keep thinking the same thing and doing the same thing, you live your life on repeat.

The way you think has created the results that you have in your life now. If they’re not the results that you want, you need to think differently and be willing to be wrong.

Nothing changes until you change. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. What you don’t change, you choose. We are always choosing what we receive, through our subconscious mind, our thoughts and our belief systems.

We can actually learn new ways to do things when we're open to it. Now, obviously if you've got like a deep rooted belief that you have to work hard for money, you're going to create that result for yourself when you keep looking at it.

But you can change that too: I'm learning how to make money without working hard, like just cracking the door, opening yourself to the opportunity for change.

You can think about your goals, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to take action, and that can feel uncomfortable. But you've got to step out of your comfort zone.

It’s looking at different ways that you can earn money and actually learning those ways and then actioning them.

So if you're in business, invest in your education about how to make money in business. If you're a business, you need to know how to market your business, how to create value and get clients.

If you're given two options, always pick the harder one because that's the one that you need. That's the one that's pushing you outside of your comfort zone. And as we know, you don't thrive in your comfort zone, you survive in your comfort zone.

Do you have the capacity to hold money? Can you have money in your purse without spending it? Can you just be at peace with money?

Money creates more money. It’s this ability to be at peace with having money and not needing to do anything with it.

Meaghan recommends to do a thought download, where you write down all the thoughts in your mind, and then ask yourself: what are the facts and what are my thoughts? A lot of thoughts we have, we think they're facts. Thinking you’re not good with money can’t be proven so it’s just a thought.
