#26 The Number One Blocker of Money
Foster Hibbard said that nothing prevents your income from growing more than this. He was Napoleon Hill’s successor and dedicated his life to studying and teaching wealth. We agree with him.
Most people think lack of money is about skills, effort, or luck. It’s not.
It’s about guilt and shame.
Stored memories of guilt and shame are the number one hidden blocker of prosperity.
Not because they’re logical.
But because they were felt with high intensity.
They’re moments from your past that hit with high emotional intensity—and your subconscious never forgot them.
Think about it…
When you were a child and broke something, and for a moment it felt like the end of the world.
When you stole something at school and carried the guilt long after no one else remembered.
When you failed an exam and felt ashamed, exposed, not good enough.
Today, your adult mind says, “That wasn’t a big deal.”
But your younger mind didn’t know that.
It only knew guilt, shame, and the feeling of being unworthy.
And that feeling got stored.
Each time it happened, a quiet belief formed:
“I don’t deserve it.”
I don’t deserve more money. I don’t deserve things working out with ease. I don’t deserve love.
Over time, those moments compounded more than interest on the worst credit card.
Which is why so many intelligent, hardworking people struggle with money…
Or repeat the same cycle: they have money, they lose it, they do well financially for a while, and then they squander it again.
Unfortunately, for most entrepreneurs, this concept is a blind spot. They simply don’t understand it and underestimate its power. So they keep playing yo-yo with money, up one moment and down the next.
This is why we almost always start by clearing shame and guilt with the new clients who come to us.
Because it doesn’t make sense to force success.
It’s like cleaning mud off a window.
The light was always there.
Prosperity was always there.
Once the glass is clean… a new wave of light simply comes in.
Once the accumulated guilt and shame from the past are gone, a new wave of prosperity enters your life.
