Agatha Christie once wrote: “What good is money if it can’t buy happiness?” Developing an empowering money mindset is crucial for financial success and overall well-being. In order to achieve financial well-being, we need to cultivate empowering attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding money. Two weeks ago, we looked at some of the steps we need to take to regularly make informed financial decisions. In this post, we will explore key strategies and practices that can help you develop an empowered money mindset.
1. Become aware of your current beliefs
The first step towards developing an empowering money mindset is to become aware of your current beliefs and attitudes about money. Reflect on any negative or limiting beliefs you may hold, such as “money is evil” or “I will never be wealthy.” Once identified, challenge these beliefs and replace them with positive and empowering thoughts. For example, reframe “I will never be wealthy” to “I have the power to increase my wealth through smart decisions and diligent work.”

2. Be grateful for the money you have now.
Gratitude is a powerful tool for shifting your mindset towards abundance. Take time each day to express gratitude for the money you have, regardless of the amount. Appreciating what you have attracts positivity to your life. You can create a gratitude journal or simply reflect on three things you are grateful for in your financial situation.
3. Set short-term and long-term financial goals
Setting clear financial goals is essential for developing an empowering money mindset. Define your short-term and long-term financial goals, whether it’s saving for a down payment on a house, paying off debt, or starting a business. Write them down and break them into actionable steps. For instance, if your goal is to save for a down payment on a house, you could set a timeline of 3 years and determine how much you need to save each month to reach your goal.
4. Increase your financial literacy
To develop an empowering money mindset, it is important to increase your financial literacy. Take the time to educate yourself about personal finance, investments, and money management. Read books, attend seminars, or take online courses to enhance your knowledge. The more you understand about money, the more confident and empowered you will feel in making financial decisions. One book I highly recommend is Get Good with Money by Aliche Tiffany.
5. Surround Yourself with Empowering Influences
The people you surround yourself with can greatly impact your money mindset. Seek out individuals who have a positive relationship with money and who support your financial goals. Engage in conversations and learn from those who have already achieved financial success. Surrounding yourself with positive influences will help reinforce empowering beliefs and behaviors. For instance, finding a mentor or joining a group of like-minded individuals who are committed to financial success can be invaluable in helping you build positive wealth-building habits.

Create a budget, track your expenses, save, and invest wisely. Taking consistent action will reinforce positive money habits and solidify your empowering money mindset.
Developing an empowering money mindset is a transformative process that requires commitment, self-reflection, and consistent action. By challenging negative beliefs, practicing gratitude, setting clear goals, educating yourself, surrounding yourself with positive influences, embracing a growth mindset, and taking action, you can develop a mindset that attracts abundance and financial success.
