10 QUESTIONS That Will Change How You Think About MONEY! | Ankur Warikoo Hindi

Shifting from a poverty mindset (focusing on how much money can be made) to a wealth mindset (focusing on value creation) activates the pre-frontal cortex, leading to innovation and more problem-solving options.

Asking 'What opportunities am I not seeing?' instead of 'Why is this happening to me?' engages the reticular activating system (RAS) to scan for opportunities rather than confirming danger, leading to the belief that there are enough opportunities for everyone.

A wealth mindset focuses on learning skills that can increase income tenfold, rather than incremental gains. This rewires the brain through neuroplasticity, focusing the reward system on learning and knowledge.

Asking 'Who can I help to win?' instead of 'Who can help me?' releases oxytocin, fostering a positive-sum mentality where mutual wins are possible, leading to feelings of connection and progress.

Focusing on actions that will benefit the future self ('What can I do today so that my tomorrow will thank me?') generates future self-continuity, promoting long-term sustainable decisions and patient investments, rather than short-term gratification.

Differentiating decisions made from fear versus faith is crucial. Decisions made from confidence, regardless of immediate outcome, activate the pre-frontal caudate, responsible for innovation and long-term thinking.

A wealth mindset focuses on how to grow money through its proper use, rather than hoarding it out of fear of loss. This shifts thinking from loss aversion to circulation and growth.

The most important question for a wealth mindset is to honestly assess one's relationship with money, considering how it would be perceived by others. This reveals emotional awareness, guilt, shame, pride, or happiness related to money, defining it as a friendship or a love relationship, not one of fear or hate.
