Hi Gang,

I’d like to share a story with everyone about a woman that is very close to Mike Antoni. This story is being retold with permission of course. But for the sake of privacy we will refer to this woman as Annette.

Annette came from very humble beginnings. She comes from a lower middle class family that had to struggle and battle for every little thing they had. Her mother worked during a period of time when it wasn’t that common to find women with careers. But her family needed the dual income.

Through Annette’s early adult life she followed in the same foot steps as her parents; struggling and battling to keep a roof over her head, food on the table, and afford a decent home in a safe neighborhood.

And then one day Annette discovered internet marketing. And she found that she had a real flair for it. For the first time in her life she had real financial freedom. She was abundant. She had completely changed her life!

Annette should have been living the good life. She had finally acquired everything she had ever dreamed of having. She had pushed through the financial chains she was born into and moved on to bigger and better things.

So what was the problem?

The problem was that Annette wasn’t happy. Anybody who knew Annette could tell you that she was always under stress, short-tempered, and laboring day and night to hold her business together. It was during this period of time that Annette and Mike Antoni began working together. And Mr. Antoni couldn’t believe the stress that Annette seemed to be putting herself through.

You see it was Mr. Antoni’s opinion that Annette’s stress was entirely self-induced. That the constant laboring was not in fact a necessary part of her business process but was a dysfunction in her approach. For Mike wisely realized that growing up the way that she did Annette had equated struggle, strife and stressful labor to financial well being. Even when she was working for herself at her own business Annette subconsciously had reproduced the circumstances of her parents.

Once Mike was able to identify this trait within her Annette was able to make some real progress in her life. She was able to let go and realize that internet marketing should be fun, challenging yes, but fun and rewarding.

So my suggestion to all of you reading is to sit down and think for a few moments today about your own ‘wealth programming.’ Did you pick up bad habits from your parents? Are you carrying with you negative and stressful ideas about what it means to earn money?

If we can identify where we’re coming from it will be a whole lot easier to get where we’d like to go.
