How to exercise your brain to become wealthy

So the thing that broke me out of poverty, it wasn't a bigger paycheck because I went from making $10 an hour to $150,000 a year in my first year of sales. So I can tell you it wasn't the budget, it wasn't anything fancy. The thing that broke me out of poverty was sitting down and planning my week, every single week, for seven years. Why? Let me explain the neuroscience behind this. The reason why it was so useful for me to plan the week without even knowing that I was doing this is because most of us view money through the lens of fear, through scarcity, through stress, trauma, like uncertainty, right? And all of that lives in a part of our brain called the amygdala. And the amygdala is the survival center of the brain. Its job is to keep us safe, aka the same. Okay? So if you're trying to change your financial reality and you're stuck in your amygdala, you're not going to change. So what planning your week does, and it has nothing to do with the plan going according to plan, it has to do with the fact that you're going through the thought process of thinking about the future. And what this does is it gets blood to move from your amygdala to your prefrontal cortex. And that is so important because one, you're no longer operating out of fear, scarcity, survival, unconscious, primal part of your brain. But more importantly, it's not just that, it's even better because the prefrontal cortex, impulse control, emotional regulation, planning for the future, complex decision making, all four things we need for budgeting. So if you're not doing this already, you can buy this planner or you can not buy this planner, it's totally up to you. The link is in my bio. It's called a Clever Fox. It doesn't matter what planner you buy. You can literally make ChatGPT create a spreadsheet and do it this way for free. But you sit down and think about your week. If the week is too big, think about the day because the more you've been stuck in survival mode, and the more you've been stuck in fear, the harder it is to think in the future. But I will say, like, if you ask anybody who's wealthy, the way they think about time directly influences their ability to build wealth. Wealthy people don't think in days, they think in decades. And the only way to get your brain better at doing that is by exercising your prefrontal cortex.
