Abundance Mindset
Develop it now
Read time: 3 min
Life is a numbers game.
Imagine you live in a city with 100.000 other people.
You set out a challenge to speak to 10 new people every day.
Guess what?
It’ll take you 27 years to speak to all the people in your city.
Twenty-seven. Years.
Your mind will barely comprehend that fact.
And 100.000 people aren’t even that many, right?
Stadiums can fit them.
Look at London, with a population of 8.9 million people (2019)
Try meeting all of them.
The internet?
Even crazier.
𝕏 alone has somewhere between 300-500 million active users.
That number is insane, think about it!
What’s the whole point?
→ There are (basically) infinite people in the world.
On the internet, in your country, even in your home town.
Which means you have to develop an abundance mindset.
What is the Abundance Mindset?
In one sentence:
You internalize that there are infinite people, things, and possibilities in the world, so your neediness for anything vanishes.
Example:
You’re looking for a girl.
It doesn’t matter if your dream girl rejects you.
Why?
There are infinite other girls in the world.
Life is a numbers game.
If you were to approach enough women, you’d eventually not be rejected.
(like, hopefully)
Next example:
You are looking for clients.
There are infinite prospects in the world.
It doesn’t matter a single bit that one guy rejected you.
And the next one did as well. And the next one.
The point is
→ Don’t be needy
Neediness is the most unattractive trait a person can have.
It makes you seem low-quality.
Desperate.
It doesn’t make a girl, a client, or whoever else feel good if they are the only option you have.
Why the Abundance Mindset is so powerful
You brainwash yourself in a positive sense.
I gave you the statistics above.
27 years to meet all the people of your town, remember?
Let that number stick around when you see a cute girl:
you won’t ever see her again
she’ll forget about you in the next 5 minutes
there are infinite other cute girls you can approach
It equips you with a carefree attitude.
This, btw, makes you more likely to close more clients and get more dates.
As mentioned, neediness repels.
If you come across as genuinely non-needy and aloof, you’ll be far better off dealing with anybody.
And if things don’t work out?
You genuinely don’t mind and wish them the best.
Even if it’s your dream girl.
Even if a long-term client cancels the deal.
You don’t care.
It’s a stress-relieving feeling, honestly.
There are no downsides to adopting this mindset.
An extra cue you’ve heard of before:
Every no gets you closer to a yes.
Ergo, just get rejected more.
Develop the Abundance Mindset
How do you develop mindsets?
Repeated exposure, aka brainwashing yourself deliberately.
Why does it work?
By
hearing other people talk
seeing their success
trying to imitate and emulate them
we develop new beliefs about the world.
Example:
You’re on self-improvement.
Why?
Because strong, jacked men who are rich and get girls told you to.
That’s it.
You want that as well, so you listen to them.
That’s why you’ve adopted all of their beliefs, traits, values, and habits.
Step 1) Research
I’ve covered that part for you.
→ You know what the abundance mindset is now
But, some extra research never hurt.
Just type “abundance mindset” into YouTube and see what you can find.
Step 2) Affirmations
Do these work?
Do they not?
Try it, they’ve worked for a lot of people.
Remind yourself daily of the abundance mindset.
A few phrases:
I’m not needy
I have unlimited other options
every no brings me closer to a yes
it doesn’t matter how they respond
there are infinite people in the world
Of course, these sound silly.
But wouldn’t it be powerful if you genuinely believed those things?
3) Act the Part
Here is something you can do tomorrow:
Go to the most crowded part of your city.
Sit down, grab a coffee, and do nothing but watch the masses.
You’ll think:
“Fuck, there are so many people here”
Try it out.
It will blow your mind paying attention for a few minutes.
Keep the abundance mindset in your head.
There’s a cute girl?
You’re afraid she’ll reject you?
You’ve developed the abundance mindset now.
Go speak to her.
Nobody cares how she’ll react.
You couldn’t care less, you have infinite other options, remember?
Same goes for clients.
For meeting business partners.
Finding new high-value friends.
Always, always remind yourself of the abundance mindset.
Never forget:
Every no brings you closer to a yes.
And you have 27 years to meet your whole town.
Thank you for reading!
The abundance mindset is something I was slacking in recently. Hope you liked this!
Never stop Improving!
