Free Game Friday: 5 Keys to Financial Abundance from "Woke Never Meant Broke"

Hello, Star Players!

We are back with another installment of Free Game Friday. This week, I'm giving you some serious gems from a presentation I did last summer at the Woke Money Conference. It was a true honor to serve as a vendor and guest speaker at this gathering of financially savvy wealth seekers at NRG stadium right here in Houston. My presentation, "Woke Never Meant Broke," was all about the foundational work we must do on our inner world to achieve outer abundance. I'm excited to share a deeper dive into those lessons with you now. As a freebie, I'm also including a downloadable PDF of "Affirmations for Financial Abundance" featuring hand-picked cards from the CCC Tiny Book of Affirmations card deck, which you can order here to unlock your full potential.

1. Our Words Are Powerful

The first and most critical takeaway is that our internal dialogue has a profound impact on our lives. We often don't realize how much we talk to ourselves, or how negative that self-talk can be. When we allow negative self-talk to take over, it holds us back from our true potential. Conversely, positive self-talk empowers us to achieve our goals. There's a powerful science behind this, connecting self-talk to neuroplasticity—the brain’s incredible ability to change and adapt. By consciously crafting positive affirmations, we can literally rewire our brains for success. The ancient wisdom of affirmations is not a new-age concept; it’s a practice with deep historical roots, as seen in the "42 Laws of Ma'at".

2. Perception Is Reality

The path to prosperity begins not with a stock portfolio or a budget, but with your mindset. The second takeaway is that perception is reality, as the presentation emphasized a profound truth: "What you think, you feel. What you feel, you experience". This is the very foundation of manifestation. If your internal narrative is one of lack and struggle, that is the reality you will experience. But when you begin to perceive yourself as prosperous and deserving, your feelings and experiences will follow.

3. Mind Your Thoughts and Words

Building on the power of perception, we must become impeccable with our thoughts and our words will follow. This means being intentional about the words we use, especially when we speak about money. The presentation highlighted common limiting beliefs and phrases, such as "Money is the root of all evil" or "I'm broke, baby!". We must recognize that these phrases are forms of programming that keep us from our true potential. As you begin to change your thoughts and words, remember to celebrate the wins along the way. Gratitude is a must on this journey, as it creates a positive feedback loop that attracts even more abundance into your life.

4. Crafting Strong Affirmations

Affirmations are the tools we use to reprogram our minds. To be effective, they must be crafted with intention. My presentation outlined four key tips for writing strong affirmations:

A.) Always use the present tense, never the future tense. Instead of saying, "I will be wealthy," say, "I am wealthy and I look like it".

B.) Avoid the negative, keep it positive. Frame your affirmations around what you want, not what you don't want.

C.) Keep your affirmations short and memorable. This makes them easy to recall and repeat throughout your day.

D.) Recognize that you are deserving of anything you want. This is perhaps the most important tip, as it requires you to believe in your own worth.

5. Embrace Your Deservingness

Finally, the fifth key takeaway is to embrace your deservingness and think beyond old programming. The presentation reminded attendees, "Life was never meant to be a struggle". We have been conditioned to believe that we must constantly fight and suffer to achieve success. However, we have the power to create a new reality for ourselves—one where success, peace, and abundance are our natural state. This is at the heart of Celestial Content Creations' mission: to unlock your inner potential and foster a self-reliance and liberation movement.

I hope these insights from the "Woke Never Meant Broke" presentation have inspired you.
