It's an almost unbelievable thought, but could you be getting intangible value from having less money than you'd like? Is there something holding you back from attracting all the money you deserve but you can't figure out what it is? Is there some way your deepest beliefs and secret thoughts are sabotaging your best efforts to make money? Try these wake-up calls on for size and see if any of them fit.

1. Belief--I fit in with the crowd better when I remain in my present financial state.

Do you work in a career that traditionally provides a low paying salary even though you've attained all the skills, degrees and certifications necessary for employment? Do you love your job but decry the oppressive pay scale which provides only the average amount or lower than average amount of income typically paid for that career? Has your peer group at work lulled you into thinking that's just how it is and given up fighting for more? Would you stick out like a sore thumb from your coworkers if you managed to turn the limited salary into greater abundance?

We all experience some type of perk for remaining in low paying jobs. We are happy we get to be of service to the world but believe that service can only bring in a minimal amount as determined by the client's ability to pay, the rate of donations made to the non-profit organization we work for, the number of products sold, or any number of reasons. We tell ourselves we are good people for doing this type of work, tighten our belts, and carry on.
