So many of us want to achieve financial abundance yet are stuck in a cycle of financial lack. In order to change our money mindset from one of financial lack to financial abundance, we must examine the beliefs we have developed about money. When we do this, we can identify any limiting beliefs that serve to block money rather than welcome it into our lives.

Take this questionnaire adapted from T Harv Eker’s ‘Millionaire Mind Intensive’ to determine which limiting beliefs are holding you back from the financial abundance that you deserve. Complete the questionnaire quickly. It is important that you don’t ponder too much about each statement and go with your initial reaction. Your initial reaction is your true underlying subconscious reaction as opposed to a rationalised response your brain provides you when you think it over.

Rate yourself from 1 – 5 with regard to each of the following statements where

1 = Strongly Disagree

2 = Disagree

3 = Neutral (Neither Disagree nor Agree)

4 = Agree

5 = Strongly Agree
