I think you are absolutely right. I think it really is a lack of discipline and management. I've had that problem in the past and it rarely has to do with money. Great post!

Spoken like a wise business owner! Laziness and procrastination are by far the biggest problems! These two we always have to overcome. Negativity is a close second, but it's one of the problems that can stay away once it's been conquered.

Wow, Ryan, spot-on. I co-lead a Meetup group to help moms develop a home-based income, teaching them 5 different business models that work. We have one gal who's sitting happily with unemployment checks coming intill next July.

Why is she there? She doesn't want to do anything but be on the dole. I can't even look her in the eye. She's not disabled, she's a trained teacher, but doing nothing is easier.

Unfortunately I see that way too often -- people who need more income, but aren't willing to give up their comforts to get down to work. Sorry, no sympathy for that.

LOL On the flip side…the same could be said about most car accidents.

I like Healy's Money Law! (I missed that before.)

That is a different perspective. I have never quite heard it put that way and I am a money coach. However, I do know that money, or the lack thereof, is a symptom of other stuff going on and how we hold ourselves apart from money because we do not believe that we deserve it.

Thanks.

This is such a deep subject it's not even funny Ryan.

From doing deep searches within yourself to discover where your monetary priorities really lie...to (as you pointed out) discovering your character flaws...being honest with yourself and fixing them...

All of this plays a major role in success and other parts of your life as well.

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep topic.

Nice article Ryan.

Yes, I agree that sometimes people lack money because of health issues, emergencies, and other things that are out of their control.

Nobody plans or expects a major car accident, but if and when it happens (God forbid), the financial ramifications could be quite large.

On the flip side, I would argue that most health issues and disease are entirely planned by what we eat and do to our bodies. Most of us just choose to be unhealthy and turn a blind eye to our bad habits -- until they catch up with us.
