The Power of Unselfconscious Affluence
Of course, we didn't all grow up financially comfortable. Several of my most successful students are real rags to riches stories gaining their vast financial successes through single-minded perseverance, education, hard work, intention and a little luck.
But what obstacles internally needed to be overcome to attain an unselfconscious relationship with affluence and their super affluent clientle? It's so individualized a journey. Many people who grew up in poverty, once they've attained a degree of comfort still cannot let go of their fear of scarcity. One example of this came from a student whose father grew up during the depression and, as if that weren't difficult enough, became an orphan at the age of thirteen.
This was something that stayed with this student of mine. . . his father's guilt at losing his mother, being accustomed to having very little, feeling the shame of charity and despite later becoming a successful business owner and property owner in the very advantageous real estate market of San Francisco in the late 80's and 90's, there was always this remnant from his youth.
My student had everything he could ever need as a child--nice house, excellent education, plenty of food and never a fear that the electricity would be turned off. His father's experiences really framed how he viewed money, however. He, despite all his comfort in life, developed a real scarcity fear as well which in turn creates a social and class self-consciousness.
Unfortunately, this social self-consciousness thwarts a fluid relationship with affluence and the affluent and we should do everything we can to overcome it.
The first step is coming to the realization that there is no shame in abundance, there is no scarcity of affluence and there is no social self-consciousness that can't be overcome. Think about it. If we are, as I truly believe, here on this planet to learn and thrive, we need to redirect whatever shame has held us back into a new signal.
And once we are right with ourselves, our social confidence, no matter what income level, will skyrocket and we will be able to very naturally enter into any social or business interaction with ease.
