$100k Mindset
GOAL
To help you identify, rewrite, and strengthen your money mindset so every decision you make supports Future Rich You.
Step 1: Spot Your Money Triggers
You’re not bad with money -you just learned money stories that no longer serve you. Everyone grows up with a “money
script. Maybe it’s “I’m not a numbers person” or “I’ll always live paycheck to paycheck.
Those stories shape every spending and saving decision -until you rewrite them.
Common triggers:
Stress spending (“I deserve this.”)
Comparison (“They went -I should too.”)
Guilt (“I feel bad saying no.”)
Pro Tip: If you want to understand what's really driving your money habits, think of a few moments that made you feel
out of control with your money. Then copy, paste, and personalize this prompt into AI Assistant:
"These moments made me feel out of control with my money [insert moments]. What's the pattern here?"
Step 2: Rewrite the Script
Awareness is step one. Ownership is step two. Replace the old money story with one that supports your next chapter.
Examples:
“I’m bad with money.
“I’m learning to manage money with confidence.
“I’ll never catch up.
“I’m already in motion -and motion builds momentum.
“Money is stressful.
“Money is a system I’m mastering.
This isn’t fluff -it’s neuroscience. Repetition rewires habits.
The more you act like a Future Rich Person, the faster your brain believes it.
Pro Tip: After you write your new affirmations, turn them into something you can actually use every day. Copy, paste,
and personalize this prompt into AI Assistant: "Turn these affirmations into a short morning mantra I can repeat daily:
[insert affirmations]."

Step 3: Make Decisions Like Future You
Future You has her systems set, her money automated, and her confidence locked in. So start running decisions
through her filter.
Ask yourself:
Would Future Me spend $200 on this jacket or add it to my Roth IRA?
Would Future Me skip the 401(k) match or claim the free money?
Would Future Me say yes to everything, or choose what truly matters?
Pro Tip: When you're torn about a purchase, use Future You as your filter to make sure the decision supports
your long-term goals. Copy, paste, and personalize this prompt into AI Assistant: "Help me decide if I should buy
[insert purchase here]. What would Future Me probably do?"
Step 4: Build Confidence Through Competence
Confidence with money doesn’t come from wishing -it comes from reps. Every time you check your accounts,
automate a transfer, or pay down debt, you’re proving that you can handle it.
Pro Tip: At the end of each month, build confidence by reviewing what you did well with your money. Copy, paste,
and personalize this prompt into AI Assistant: "List three things I did well with my money this month based on
these actions: [insert your financial notes]."
Track those wins. Stack them. That’s how momentum compounds.
The Takeaway
Your first $100k takes skill and systems -but the fuel is mindset. Because the gap between “I can’t” and “I’m
figuring it out” grows faster than compound interest. Use this document like a mirror, not a lecture.
Stay aware. Stay curious. Stay in motion.
Rich isn’t just what you have.
It’s how you think.

FAQs

What are money triggers and how do they affect spending?
Money triggers are emotional responses that influence financial behavior, such as stress spending or guilt. Recognizing these triggers is crucial for understanding why certain spending habits develop. For instance, someone might splurge on a luxury item as a reward for hard work, believing they deserve it. By identifying these patterns, individuals can begin to rewrite their money scripts and make more intentional financial decisions.
How can I rewrite my negative money beliefs?
Rewriting negative money beliefs involves replacing them with positive affirmations that support financial growth. For example, changing 'I'm bad with money' to 'I'm learning to manage money with confidence' can shift your mindset. This process requires consistent practice and repetition to rewire your brain's response to money. By actively affirming your new beliefs, you can cultivate a more positive relationship with your finances.
What steps can I take to make decisions like my future self?
To make decisions like your future self, envision what that version of you would prioritize. Ask yourself whether a purchase aligns with your long-term financial goals. For example, consider if spending on a luxury item is more beneficial than investing in your retirement. This reflective practice helps ensure that your current choices support your future aspirations, leading to better financial outcomes.
How does building confidence through competence work?
Building confidence through competence involves gaining practical experience in managing your finances. This can include regularly checking your accounts, automating savings, or paying down debt. Each successful action reinforces your ability to handle money effectively, which boosts your confidence. Over time, these small wins accumulate, creating a sense of control and mastery over your financial situation.
