Change Your Money Story because it’s the subconscious narrative steering your financial reality.
The Real Reason You’re Not Making More Money—And How to Rewrite the Script
Let’s be real…
You can have all the strategies, tools, templates, and business models in the world…
But if your money story is broken?
You’ll sabotage every dollar before it even hits your bank account.
Most people think making money is all about tactics.
“Just give me the step-by-step, bro.”
But here’s the truth
If your inner narrative is telling you that money is evil, that rich people are greedy, or that you’re not worthy of wealth…
You will always find a way to stay broke.
Change Your Money Story starts with awareness.
What’s a Money Story, Anyway?
Your money story is the subconscious script running your financial life.
It’s made up of beliefs you picked up from your parents, your culture, your environment, and your experiences growing up.
Things like:
- “Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
- “Rich people are selfish.”
- “You have to work hard to earn a living.”
- “I’m just not good with money.”
- “Money is stressful.”
Sound familiar? Yeah. These aren’t facts—they’re stories.
And stories can be rewritten.
Success happens when you change your money story.
The Silent Sabotage
Let’s say you want to build an online business.
You start a side hustle, maybe launch a course, or dive into affiliate marketing.
And it starts working…
Then suddenly—you stop showing up.
You “don’t feel motivated.”
You start tweaking your logo instead of selling.
You binge YouTube instead of building your funnel.
Why?
Because your old story doesn’t match your new results.
So your subconscious drags you back to where it feels “safe.”
That’s not laziness. That’s internal misalignment.
And until you change the story, you’ll keep hitting that invisible ceiling.

Rewiring the Script
So how do you change it?
Not with wishful thinking. Not with vision boards.
But with intentional repetition and new evidence.
Here’s the 3-step process:
You can change your money story with action.
1. Identify the Old Script
Start by noticing your default thoughts about money.
- What did your parents say about money when you were growing up?
- How did your environment treat wealthy people?
- What’s the first emotion that hits when you think about earning a lot?
Write it all down. Get it out of your head and onto paper. You can’t change what you don’t see.
2. Choose a New Story
Here’s the key: You don’t need to perfect your beliefs. You just need to upgrade them.
Try beliefs like:
- “Money is a tool for impact.”
- “I can get rich by helping people.”
- “I’m allowed to be wealthy and relaxed.”
- “The more I receive, the more I can give.”
Pick beliefs that feel better—but also believable.
You’re not trying to trick yourself. You’re trying to build new evidence.

3. Take Aligned Action
This is where most people get it wrong.
They journal affirmations but don’t do anything differently.
To rewire your story, you need to take action that reinforces the new belief.
If your new belief is “I make money helping people,”
then help someone today—and make an offer.
If your new belief is “I can make money online,”
build the funnel. Launch the product. Press publish.
Beliefs stick when they’re backed by action.
You Don’t Just Need Strategy. You Need Identity.
Look—
You can model the top 1% of entrepreneurs.
You can clone their systems, copy their funnels, use their exact tech stack.
But if you still believe deep down that success isn’t safe, or money is bad…
You’ll blow it up.
Here’s what nobody tells you:
You don’t become rich then change your story.
You change your story, and then you become rich.
Your outer world follows your inner world. Always.
Replace These 5 Broke Beliefs Today
Let’s get tactical.
Here are five broke beliefs—and what to replace them with:
| Old Belief | Replace With |
| “I have to work hard for money.” | “I get paid for the value I create.” |
| “I’m not good with money.” | “I’m learning how to manage and grow wealth.” |
| “I don’t deserve to be rich.” | “Wealth allows me to serve at a higher level.” |
| “Making money online is risky.” | “Playing small is the bigger risk.” |
| “I’m just not that kind of person.” | “I can become the kind of person who earns more.” |
Tape these to your laptop if you have to.
Build a “Wealth Environment”
Changing your story isn’t just internal—it’s also environmental.
You can’t plant roses in a trash heap and expect them to bloom.
Surround yourself with people, content, and tools that reflect your new beliefs.
Here’s what to start doing:
- Follow creators who inspire and empower (not flex and shame).
- Read books that shift your mindset (The Psychology of Money, Rich Dad Poor Dad, You Are a Badass at Making Money).
- Get in rooms where wealth is normalized.
Let the new story become your default setting.
