Wealth is a mindset. Just like success, poverty, health, illness, etc. are a state of mind. For many people, the reason they are unable to achieve what they want in life is a subconscious fear of wealth and/or money. It may seem strange at first glance, but when you look a little deeper, it makes perfect sense.

Since the fear is subconscious, the conscious mind has no idea it’s there; and the person continues to strive and try to achieve their goals while experiencing one failure after another.

 

What is a Fear of Wealth?

If someone really wants something, why would they have a fear of getting what they want? The fear comes from subconscious thoughts. They provide "evidence" that achieving their goal would cause something bad to happen.

This can include being rejected by friends and family. It can also mean taking on more responsibility. There are many different aspects that can form the structure for this fear, and most of them will not make any sense at all to the conscious mind.

That's why a fear of accruing wealth is rare and hard to overcome. There's usually no logic behind it, as the subconscious doesn't use reason.

 

What Causes a Fear of Wealth?

A fear of wealth can stem from various experiences. Often, these do not relate to money, finances, or wealth. Here’s an example:

 

Tom has been working very hard to advance his career. It has taken him a long time to get to where he is, but try as he might, he still hasn’t managed to get a promotion in two years. Tom’s dream is to become the CEO of the company.

However, no matter how hard he works to build his career, he just can’t seem to get the clients he needs. His service is excellent. His clients are very satisfied. But he can't seem to get any new clients or keep the few he does get.

He analyzes his performance. He realizes that marketing is key to building his career. He hasn't been marketing himself as he should.

When he plans to market, something always distracts him. He cannot do the work he knows he must do to improve himself. It feels like he’s in a trap and that it is all out of his control. The truth is, his subconscious mind is running the show.

Whenever he gets close to acting, his subconscious intervenes. It makes his brain produce chemicals. These cause sensations that trigger certain responses in him. For example, he feels fearful, anxious, sick, and bored. Then, he notices something more important. He will make a time-consuming call. Or, he will forget to act on something, creating a distraction. This will pull him away from work, which is essential to his success.

Let’s go back in time a little to find out how Tom’s fear of wealth was created. At 6, Tom's teacher asked him to play the lead in an impromptu school play and dance. Tom was unprepared, nervous, and froze in front of the class. At that moment, his body went into fight, freeze, or flight. His subconscious saw the event as dangerous.

Also, the other kids teased him about it. This strengthened the "evidence" in his mind that being in the spotlight was dangerous.

Fast-forward to when Tom was 15. His father had just been promoted to Vice President of a company. Tom's father was anxious. His colleagues were throwing a party for him. He was expected to make a speech. Tom witnessed the stress in his father as he prepared for that night.

 

The Connections

This is a very simplified example for clarity. But in this case, Tom's subconscious connected the threat - the fight, freeze, or flight state - with being in the spotlight. This link was strengthened by witnessing his father's experience.

It also connected the event of leaving a job with needing to give a speech (his father’s experience). Now, Tom's conscious mind would never connect these aspects. It wouldn't expect such a link. But his subconscious can't use reason or logic. The connection is subconscious.

In this case, Tom fears not wealth but its effects. His mind predicts what will happen after getting the perfect job or a promotion. In other words: If Tom gets promoted, his subconscious says he must give a speech. His conscious mind knows this isn't true, but his subconscious is in charge. And, of course, that's dangerous.

Therefore, his subconscious will do everything it can to protect Tom by preventing him from doing whatever is needed to truly move his career forward and make it a success.

 

How to Overcome the Fear of Success

Most of the fear of wealth is subconscious. Our conscious mind is unaware of it. So, we don't know what memories form the fear. Fortunately, using FasterEFT means you do not need to know the original information.

You only need to know how you know. How do you know you have this fear of wealth/money? And then address that; and as you clear and flip that, other thoughts, feelings, and memories will come up that are connected. As long as you keep your focus on “how you know," your subconscious will do the work for you in transforming the data.
