Knocking Down Barriers To Wealth
In a lot of ways building wealth requires you to first knock down the walls that have become an integral part of you. That is, to knock down the walls that have become barriers to you so that there is room for you to build a stronger foundation and overall structure.
Every one of us has something that impedes our financial success. Every one of us has things in our life—both psychological and more real, tangible barriers—that get in our way. These are things that we all have to overcome and move past, replacing the old with the new and the better.
First Step – Self Evaluation
The first step to doing this is to figure out what those barriers are. These could be very elusive things that we do not even know about ourselves—thoughts and attitudes that are ingrained in our psyche; subconscious attitudes (such as what we talked about when we discussed the financial subconscious). As Jamie McIntyre tells us these are very much individual thoughts, attitudes, and barriers, but there are several that are common amongst all people and so we can learn something about ourselves by learning from others like Jamie and other people pursuing financial prosperity.
There is very minimal success without first understanding that these hang-ups do exist and what they are. These barriers have a way of coming back to haunt you so recognizing them and working to overcome them is essential to your financial future.
Persistence Is Progress
The way to overcome these barriers is related to what the barriers are. For a great many of them rewiring your subconscious and your mindset and attitude is necessary. Moving through a wealth development program removes a lot of these barriers because so many are intertwined and inter-related. But regardless of what is holding you back know that you can surpass it and break those barriers down. You can overcome anything—physical, psychological, human, or theoretical—and you can be wealthy. With the recognition that there is work to be done and the persistence to see it through, every last barrier to wealth can and will be broken.

My father always told me, the first step to growing wealth is to stop lying to yourself, if anything you have to be honest with yourself and what you can and cannot afford.
Once you can do that you can start to grow your wealth in the right direction. Sounds simple enough, but it is a pretty difficult task to master.

I do believe you need to be honest with yourself, though I think that it is damaging to wealth building if you are believing that you “cannot afford” something. Instead, I would look at it as things you can afford now and things you can afford in the future.
By doing this you are not attaching any negatives to “affording” things as using words such as “can’t” and “won’t” are going to create the mental barriers that we are trying to get rid of, as mentioned in the article above.
