We're going to let you in on one of the millionaire mind secrets. When rich people focus their thoughts on money, they feel... calm. That's right, calm.

Even though wealthy people care passionately about money, they have also learned how to put down their fears and anxieties about money so that they can make confident, rational decisions about their businesses and investments.

In fact, money acts almost like a brain supercharger for the rich, helping them think more clearly and well.

In this series of articles we will be looking at the ways in which we learn our 'inner' laws about money, and how we can choose to change them. In the last two articles, we discussed a couple powerful ways that we learned about money - direct instruction and modeling.

Now it's time to take a look at specific incidents around money that you experienced as a child and how they have affected your thinking. For far too many of us, early experiences with money involved both fear and anger. Often, these emotions culminated in incidents that were scary and made a deep impression on us as kids.

Let's take Charlene Johnston as an example. For years, Charlene struggled with her finances. She wanted to get ahead, pay off her debts, and save money for the kids' college fund - but it never quite seemed to happen.

She worked several different kinds of jobs, started businesses, and made investments, but every time she seemed to get close to her goals she would start to feel panicked. Without fail, something would go wrong and she would lose her chance.

Just as Charlene was starting to despair of ever becoming a millionaire woman, she sat down with a wealth coach and described her pattern of coming close to her goal and then failing to meet it. They talked about the kinds of things that happened when she stumbled on the road to wealth. It seemed like she usually got sick at just the wrong time, or in one instance, had a car accident.

As they got deeper into their conversation, the wealth coach asked her, "Did either of your parents ever get unusually ill when you were young? What was going on with money then?" Charlene was astounded that he had asked.

In fact, when Charlene was ten, her father bought a stock car parts business. It looked like he was headed towards a terrific future, when her mother contracted leukemia. Charlene's dad had to sell the business in order to pay the hospital bills, and his chance never seemed to come around again.

As her coach gently probed Charlene about the details of the specific incident of her mom's diagnosis, she had a lightbulb moment.

All of the pain, fear, and disappointment that hung over her house like a grey cloud when Charlene was ten was still with her, and every time she came close to financial achievement, the feelings from that awful time overwhelmed her and she became sick, as her mother had.

Once Charlene was able to think through and accept the connection between the awful time in her childhood and her attitudes towards money and success, she was able to stop sabotaging her own business success. Now Charlene owns two thriving businesses and is one of many successful millionaire minds in her home community.

And once you have started to take apart the old ideas that held you back from success, you can create new ways to relate to money in a thorough and permanent way. The secrets of the millionaire mind will become yours as you learn to achieve your goals! Over the next articles, we'll talk about exactly how to do that.
