Many people ask me, “Is it possible to train your brain to help you make more money?” The answer is yes. Let me share how I trained my brain to increase my income, and how you can do it too.
Step 1: Set Clear Financial Goals
It all begins with setting clear financial goals. Determine the exact amount you want to earn. Whether it’s $100,000 a year, $8,500 a month, or $2,150 a week, clarity is crucial.
Example Goal:
- Yearly: $100,000
- Monthly: $8,500
- Weekly: $2,150
Step 2: Create a Powerful Affirmation
Craft a simple yet powerful affirmation.
For instance:
“I am so happy and grateful now that I am earning $10,000 a month.”
Affirmation Tips:
- Repeat this affirmation every morning and night, five to ten times.
- Visualize receiving the money.
- Imagine it in your bank account and feel the joy and security it brings.
Step 3: Visualize Your Success
Close your eyes and visualize the money coming into your account. Picture the positive
impact on your life, your family, your friends, and your community. Imagine the charities
you could support. Create a mental movie where you are the star, living out this reality.
Visualization Tips:
- See the money in your account.
- Feel the emotions of financial freedom.
- Visualize the lifestyle you can afford.
Step 4: Prime Your Brain
Repeating affirmations and visualizing success primes your brain. This process activates your left prefrontal cortex, the part of your brain responsible for strategic thinking and problem-solving. By consistently doing this, you train your brain to believe your goals are achievable.
Step 5: Use a Vision Board
For an added boost, create a vision board. Use pictures to represent the lifestyle you want to achieve. Include images of the car you’d drive, the vacations you’d take, the home you’d live in, and the charities you’d support. Seeing these images daily reinforces your goals.
Vision Board Tips:
- Digital or physical board
- Images representing your goals
- Place it where you can see it daily
Step 6: Take Action Daily
Ask yourself daily, “What can I do today to make my financial goal a reality?” Take one or two steps towards your goal each day. This could be anything from saving money, investing, or finding new income sources. Physical actions combined with mental rehearsal set you on the path to success.
Action Steps:
- Identify daily tasks
- Take consistent steps
- Combine mental and physical efforts

Within two years, he surpassed his goal, crediting his success to consistently applying these techniques.
Expert Opinion
According to Dr. Joe Dispenza, a neuroscientist and author of “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself,” visualization and affirmations can rewire your brain. “Your brain doesn’t know the difference between the real and the imagined experience,” he explains. “By repeatedly visualizing your goals, you create new neural pathways that support these beliefs.”
