Ok, so to be completely transparent, I come from the position that you actually SHOULD start your own home business, side hustle, or whatever you want to call it… and create real residual income and financial freedom for yourself. But what’s holding you back from living the life of your dreams? What’s keeping you stuck? Is it your mindset?

I recently came across a list of 10 Broke Mindset Excuses on FaceBook that I wanted to share. I don’t know who to credit for the original list, but I did tweak it quite a bit.
It’s time for a reality check. You can’t be a life ninja if you’re stuck in a broke mindset. Don’t make up lame excuses! I share this in good humor and in hopes of inspiring you to be your best and stop making excuses. You were not born to be mediocre or live a mediocre life. If you’ve got a longing for something more, make it happen 🙂
Top 10 Broke Mindset Excuses
What’s ACTUALLY keeping you from claiming your future & taking charge of your life?
Excuse 1 – I don’t have the money.
But you have money for Jordan’s, Gucci, Cable TV, Red Bottoms, The Club, Upgrade on a new Smartphone, etc? (Don’t get me wrong, some people are truly broke… but in my experience, if you want something bad enough, you’ll do anything to make it happen.)
Excuse 2 – I don’t have the time.
Lies! You give your job 10-14 hours a day for most of your week. Do you want to keep working like a dog for forever or bust your butt now doing something that could free up your time and bring you massive residual income in a few years?
Excuse 3 – I don’t have the patience.
But you have patience for traffic, a boss, coworkers, children, low pay, living paycheck to paycheck, not being able to do the things you really want to do, and someone in control of your life?
Excuse 4 – I’m going to do it someday.
No you won’t. “Someday” is not a day of the week. If you don’t take action, “someday” never comes.
Excuse 5 – Can you pay for me to start?
Heck to the no! You won’t slack or quit on my dime – Level up, Friend!
Excuse 6 – If I have to invest in myself it must be a Scam.
The real scam is being paid a salary or wage to give up on your own dreams, to build someone else’s, and never being able to spend time with your family. (Of course, if working for someone else IS your dream and you have no aspirations of growing a side hustle residual income, you can ignore all of this.)
Excuse 7 – I’m not good at selling.
You sold yourself at the interview for your job with the performance of a lifetime. You sold yourself to your significant other. You sold your best friend on your favorite restaurant or movie. Don’t sell yourself short.
Excuse 8 – I can’t because it will interfere with my welfare or disability.
Welfare isn’t residual income
Do you want to stay dependent on that forever or create your own future?
Excuse 9 – My boss will find out.
Your Boss is not your Master nor controls you, Slavery ended many years ago. If you’re that afraid of your boss, all the more reason to become your own boss.
Excuse 10 – I’m SCARED I will fail.
Not if you believe in yourself and hustle hard for success 
With this type of thinking you limit yourself, you will stay in a sunken place and you will always struggle.
Excuses or Money
?
Both are hard.
Choose your hard
