-
Do you know that most people who are rich don't really feel rich?
-
I was talking to Ken Honda. He's our newest Mindvalley author.
-
He's the biggest selling personal growth author in Japan.
-
And Ken once did a study of 12,000 millionaires in Japan,
-
asking them this one question.
-
Do you feel rich?
-
He found that most people whom we would consider rich never truly feel rich.
-
And this is actually a curse.
-
Ken explained it to me this way when he was here at Mindvalley,
-
speaking to our team.
-
He said, "I went to millionaires all across Japan."
-
And I remember asking the guy who had just received a million dollars in his
-
bank account, and I asked him, "Do you feel rich?"
-
And he said, "No, I don't."
-
So Ken said, "Well, what would make you feel rich?"
-
And he thought about it, and he said, "You know, I think 10 million would make
-
me feel rich."
-
Ken said what was funny is, shortly thereafter, he interviewed a guy
-
who had $10 million cash.
-
And Ken asked him, "Do you feel rich?"
-
And the guy said, "No, I don't."
-
Ken said, "What would make you feel rich?"
-
And he goes, "I think a private jet."
-
Ken said, because he was interviewing so many people, he ended up interviewing a
-
guy with a private jet.
-
And he asked this man, "Do you feel rich?"
-
The man said, "No, my jet only sits six people."
-
Now, after interviewing all of these dissatisfied millionaires,
-
Ken did notice a pattern.
-
There was one type of millionaire that basically truly felt rich and every aspect
-
of their life was thriving because of it.
-
Now, they had a unique mental model that is best described as this.
-
They saw money as air.
-
Ask yourself, what would your life look like if money was simply like air to you?
-
Now, let me explain what this means.
-
Ken told a story to me of how he interviewed Wahei Takeda,
-
who's one of the richest men in Japan, often compared to
-
the Warren Buffett of Japan.
-
And Wahei Takeda told Ken that, to him, money is all around him, it's like air.
-
And he knows that no matter what his goals are, no matter what he needs to invest in,
-
no matter what he needs to get, money is going to flow.
-
Money is as available to him as the air we breathe.
-
This mental model is really interesting.
-
It suggests that it's not the amount of money you have now
-
or the objects you have now.
-
It's knowing that whatever you need to experience in life,
-
money like air, will flow to you.
-
Now, this is what Ken Honda describes as money EQ.
-
What would your life look like if you could think of money as air?
-
Now, Ken suggest that when we adopt this mental model,
-
our life shifts dramatically, and money does start flowing to us
-
far more easily.
-
And he shares so many case studies in our upcoming master class.
-
So, if you find this mental model interesting, and if you'd like to adopt it
-
into your being, and I mean, like, fully adopt it in your being,
-
show up for this master class.
-
It's happening this week on Mindvalley.
