I don’t like rich and successful people”… “Money Mental Block” is the reason why you can’t get rich.

What is the difference between those who are “growing” their assets and those who are not?

I moved to the U.S. about 10 years ago to become a fashion designer, and now I am based in Portugal and live abroad about 10 months a year. After seeing and traveling to many different countries, I realized that only Japanese people are not positive about their own economic prosperity,” he says.

says Satoshi Sanrin, a wealth and money mentality trainer.

In his book, he explains that the reason why people cannot successfully increase their assets even after learning how to do so is because of a “money mental block” that is rooted deep in their minds.

What is a “mental block of money?

The only Japanese in the world with the “can’t get rich” mentality

Mr. Satoshi Sanrin, who lives his life traveling back and forth around the world, points out that Japanese people have a different attitude toward rich people than people in other countries.

In the U.S. and Europe, celebrities are the object of envy, but they are also the object of admiration, because they know the side of the celebrity that keeps the economy going and donates large sums of money.

On the other hand, in Japan, people often say to those who are financially successful, ‘Aren’t they doing some shady business? On the other hand, in Japan, people often look at financially successful people as if they are doing a shady business or making money by cheating people.

The reason why it is difficult for Japanese people to become rich is because they have a bad image of people who make money or are financially successful. This preconception unknowingly controls their own actions to become rich. This is the true nature of the ‘money mental block.

How to Remove the Mental Block: The Reason Why You Cannot Achieve Success in Entrepreneurship School

Mr. Sanrin became aware of the existence of the mental block of money through his own bitter experience of unsuccessful career development.

In psychology, there is a state called ‘cognitive dissonance. In psychology, there is a state called ‘cognitive dissonance,’ which refers to the state in which one’s feelings and actions do not match one’s own manifested desires.

In other words, people feel stress when they want to make a lot of money but their actions do not match up with their desires. I experienced this in terms of money and work.

Ten years ago, I entered an entrepreneurship school, and while people younger than me and with less social experience were taking action and achieving results with ease, I was not able to achieve any results at all. I realized that whether or not I could produce results depended on my mental attitude, such as my readiness to take action, my positive attitude, my human nature, and the size of my capacity.

Mr. Sanrin realized the existence of this mental block when he was struggling to achieve his desired results as an aspiring fashion designer. From there, he began working as a counselor in earnest, focusing mainly on coaching, which he had been providing to friends and others free of charge in addition to his work as a designer.

What I personally did to remove the mental block was the kind of work and mindset described in this book. Specifically, I went to meet directly with people who are known as wealthy people.

This is because a person’s ideas and common sense are formed by the environment and relationships they are placed in.

If you are not good at earning money and there are many people around you who say, “I can barely earn 300,000 a month,” you naturally recognize that you are living in the same world and try to live while saving money with the same amount of salary.

In order to get rid of this idea and common sense, I attended events where wealthy people, whom I admired at that time, performed, and received consulting services.

For busy office workers, it may seem difficult to change their environment, but in fact, just going to cross-industrial meetings is enough, he says.

Some of the participants are from professions that I don’t normally come into contact with, and some are business owners. By socializing with such people, there is a possibility that your way of thinking and common sense will change, and you can expect to gain a higher perspective and expand your own capacity.

The same is true in the world of sports. By placing oneself in an environment that is at a higher level than one’s own ability, one’s own level will be raised by extension.

There is evidence in psychology that people tend to behave in the same way as those around them, and I believe that placing yourself in an environment at a higher level than you are at present is effective both in business and in life.

After removing the mental block, he realized “the significance of earning money.

After removing the mental block of money, Mr. Trinh’s image of money and earning money changed, and his business began to expand steadily.

Until then, my perception of money was that it was something necessary for survival,” he said, “but I came to believe that the more money you earn, the more virtuous you are.

To earn money is to do something good in the world and be said ‘thank you. Moreover, by continuing to earn money, you create employment. Creating employment means supporting the lives of people other than yourself. When you think about it, doesn’t that make earning money seem very noble?”

In his coaching students, he says, those who remove the mental block of money and realize the significance of earning money are no longer worried about money, and their life possibilities are expanding.

In the first place, they envision their life potential with mental blocks in place, which is sometimes a very small dream in terms of their original potential,” he said.

By removing the mental block, you will be able to work positively toward your goals and gain confidence, which will naturally expand your life possibilities and make your dreams bigger.

Although it seems that removing mental blocks to money has only advantages, there is one disadvantage that cannot be ignored. However, there is one disadvantage that cannot be ignored: changes in human relationships.

When you remove the mental block of money, you will not be able to talk with the people around you. In Japan today, there are more people who have a bad image of money and earning money, so this can’t be helped.

People who have removed their mental block on money will take action to double or triple their income, but most Japanese today think they can make ends meet within their monthly salary and do not think about “increasing their income,” according to Mr. Sanrin.

However, he urges people to remove the mental block of money, even if it means losing friends and getting into disagreements with those around them.

Making money is a wonderful thing.

In my personal opinion, I hope that by removing the mental block of money, people will feel the joy of working.

Various surveys have shown that compared to other major countries, Japanese people are more reluctant to earn money and work. They are probably so tired of working that the phrase, “If you work, you lose,” has become popular.

However, in other major countries and developing countries, the majority are willing to work and are positive about their future and the future of their country.

As the saying goes, “Easier said than done,” but I hope that as many people as possible will remove their mental block of money, enjoy working, feel that earning money is wonderful, and create a brighter future for everyone. I hope we can become such a strong country.

Japan faces a variety of economic uncertainties, including soaring prices, increasing tax burdens, pension problems, declining birthrates, and an aging population. In the midst of all this, the U.S. presidential election has just ended, and major changes are expected worldwide. Securing personal assets will become increasingly important.
