How good are you at receiving?

Every time you dive into the workings of your mind, and you plant seeds of nourishment with high quality information, you grow and improve as a person. As you begin to understand the value of learning, you will find yourself overwhelmed with what you realize you don’t know but need to.

Equally important, is to UNLEARN many things that you currently hold as true but in reality aren’t.

We all work the same way. We all have a conditioned mind. Our conditioned mind was built upon the things we heard, we saw and we experienced, especially as kids. And even though today you’ve long forgotten the incident or situation or what was said, it’s all there in your memory banks of your mind.

Today, we want to pull out your file when it comes to receiving. How good are you at receiving? Do you think it’s important to be a good receiver? Do you think you can acquire wealth without becoming a good receiver? Let’s really look at your attitudes about receiving, because if you have a negative attitude about this area, you will struggle with money your whole life.


Harv Eker’s Wealth File #10

Rich people are excellent receivers.
Poor people are poor receivers.

Week in and week out, I see many clients and prospects at my office. Without a doubt, the single most glaring weakness most people possess that stops them from reaching their full financial potential is the fact that they are lousy receivers. They may or may not be good on the giving side, but they are absolutely terrible on the receiving side. Since they are lousy at receiving, they don’t.

Why would people be such lousy receivers?

Primarily because of our conditioning!

Most people have feelings of being UNWORTHY.

Think about it. For most people, we hear many more no’s than yes’s…

We hear many more “do it again” than “great job”…

As a result, poor people simply don’t feel worthy of receiving.

Others place so much pressure on themselves to be perfect (which of course they can never be) that when they can’t live up to those standards, they feel unworthy.


The fact is that you are as worthy as anyone else. So stop buying into any of the “worthiness” or “unworthiness” crap and focus on taking the actions you need to get rich!

Another reason that people are lousy receivers is because of the old adage “it’s better to give than receive”.

Of course, this is also a bunch of bull. For every giver, there must be a receiver. For every receiver, there must be a giver.

When you want to give someone a gift, and they won’t accept it, how does that make you feel? You feel ripped off, because you wanted to give and you couldn’t.

If you continue to try to give a gift to someone and they always refuse to accept it, how long do you think it will take before you don’t offer it to them anymore? No one else will either. They’ve conditioned the Universe not to give to them.

If you aren’t willing to receive your share, it’ll go to someone else who is. Rich people are rich because they are willing to receive while most people are not.

The really wealthy and successful people I know all work hard and believe that it is perfectly appropriate for them to be paid for their work and the value they deliver. Poor people don’t.

What do you think? Because if you don’t believe that you should be rewarded for the value you deliver, you will never be rich. You MUST become an excellent receiver….WITHOUT ANY GUILT.

Now…put your hand on your chest and repeat out loud…

I AM AN EXCELLENT RECEIVER. I AM OPEN AND WILLING TO RECEIVE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY INTO MY LIFE!

Namaste,

Jeff

I was certainly brought up with a strong belief that giving is better than receiving, so this post is a good antidote for me.

Thanks Jeff.

I like to receive. Giving has its place and time. If I have earned something, receiveing is good
