Children learn money patterns through observation, not instruction. Buying secondhand. Negotiating deals. Reselling items. Searching for value. These behaviors can build creativity and resourcefulness. They can also build shame or fear, depending on the emotional meaning attached to the experience. In this video, Robert Gene explains how financial identity forms through memory, repetition, and emotional references. The same action can create different internal programs in different people. If you were raised in scarcity, you likely developed adaptive strategies. The question is whether those patterns still serve you. What did money represent in your home growing up?

Most people believe affirmations are simply positive statements repeated daily. That is only partially true. An affirmation is any repeated internal reference your brain accepts as real. Negative money statements. Mental images of lack. Shame when discussing your value. Replaying past financial failures. These are affirmations. Your brain does not label them as negative. It registers repetition and builds emotional programs from memory and reference patterns. In this video, Robert Gene explains how visual, auditory, and kinesthetic affirmations shape your financial behavior and why simply adding positive words rarely changes deep patterns. Instead of layering positivity on top, identify the old memory references that built the current program. What do you consistently say, see, or feel about money? Comment below. #Affirmations #Mindset #PersonalGrowth #SelfImprovement

Many people believe they are driven by ambition. But often the drive for money is rooted in childhood references tied to approval, validation, and worth. “If I succeed, I’ll be proud.” “If I earn enough, they’ll finally see me.” This pattern creates constant action but rarely produces internal stability. Money cannot repair identity-based conditioning. It can only amplify the existing program. Children observe these patterns and either repeat them or reject them. This is how financial behavior transfers across generations. When you update the internal references connected to worth and approval, financial action becomes grounded instead of compensatory.

Money is not emotional. But your conditioning around money is. Some people grow up in scarcity and develop patterns of deal-seeking, over-saving, or fear-based decisions. Others grow up with financial abundance and experience guilt, shrinking, or overspending to regulate discomfort. Money becomes a symbol of identity, approval, belonging, and control. Until those internal references are updated, financial patterns repeat... regardless of income level. This is not about motivation. It is about programming. When you change the internal rules, behavior changes naturally.

Financial growth often begins with ownership and problem-solving. Creating value is not mystical. It is practical. An individual redesigned a racing engine component using advanced materials. The result was measurable financial success. The shift began with better questions. “How can I do this better?” The brain responds to inquiry. Repeated questions focus attention, drive creativity, and encourage innovation. However, internal conditioning can limit action before it begins. If stored references say “stay small” or “don’t try,” ingenuity remains unused. Work ethic includes updating limiting beliefs, strengthening identity, and applying consistent improvement. You likely have untapped capability. Remove the internal ceiling. Then build.

Affirmations about money only work when internal resistance is resolved. If stored references say “I’m not worthy” or “I don’t deserve more,” repeating positive statements creates conflict rather than alignment. Financial identity is shaped by repeated emotional programs and learned responses. When limiting money beliefs are updated, receiving becomes natural rather than forced. Revenue follows value. Value reflects identity. Discomfort around charging, underpricing, or overgiving often signals conditioning around self-worth and financial perception. Focus on results. Deliver measurable value. Allow compensation to reflect that value.

Financial stress often appears to be about numbers. In reality, it reflects stored emotional references connected to money. When you open your bank account and feel tension, that reaction is a learned response built from early experiences and repeated reinforcement. Arguments around bills are rarely about the bill itself. They are about meaning attached to money. Repetition builds identity. Paying extra toward debt, reinforcing progress, and associating financial responsibility with control creates new reference patterns. Early modeling (such as structured credit behavior and financial responsibility) shapes long-term outcomes. Financial identity is learned. It can be updated.

Many people dislike their jobs. But repeated resentment becomes conditioning. When you rehearse anger or frustration toward what pays your bills, your nervous system associates income with negativity. Changing companies without updating internal references often recreates the same dissatisfaction. Different environment. Same emotional program. Career frustration is frequently a repetition pattern learned from early family references and reinforced through daily complaint cycles. If you want different financial and professional experiences, the internal conditioning must change first. If you’re ready to address the pattern at its source, book a private session with me. linktr.ee/robertgenesmith (copy & paste this link into your browser)

Many people believe changing jobs will solve dissatisfaction. But repeated resentment installs emotional conditioning. If you rehearse hating your work for years, that becomes a pattern stored in memory and nervous system responses. Changing environments without updating internal references often recreates the same dissatisfaction in a new setting. Patterns relocate. They do not disappear. If income becomes associated with negativity, that conflict continues until the internal program changes. In the March Workshop, we work directly with stored emotional programs and learned responses that shape behavior and identity.

Money is not mystical. It is not controlled by unseen forces or invisible blockages. Financial behavior reflects identity, stored memories, and repeated emotional programs. The brain operates mechanically. It reproduces what it has proof for. If internal references say that more money is unsafe, undeserved, or dangerous, behavior will align with those references. External strategies cannot override internal conditioning. Update the identity. Update the stored references. Financial patterns change.

Many people experience an internal conflict around money. Consciously, they want more. Unconsciously, stored references say otherwise. These references are built from repeated emotional experiences, memories, and learned responses. Positive thinking can temporarily override state. But when effort stops, baseline programming resumes. This is not weakness. It is repetition. Your current financial life reflects consistent internal conditioning. Law of attraction has already manifested what you have. If you want different outcomes, update the internal references driving behavior. In the March workshop, we work directly with the emotional programs and memory patterns shaping financial results. If you’re ready to change the program from within, join us. linktr.ee/robertgenesmith (copy & paste this link into your browser)

Most people misunderstand affirmations. They believe affirmations are positive phrases repeated daily. In reality, affirmations are any repeated internal reference: Thoughts. Images. Emotional responses. If you feel shame when stating your price, that is a kinesthetic affirmation. If you replay memories of losing money, that is a visual affirmation. If you internally say “I can’t keep money,” that is a verbal affirmation. Behavior aligns with stored references. Adding positive words without updating the underlying conditioning produces temporary emotional elevation but not structural change. The solution is updating the emotional programs driving financial behavior. In the March workshop, we work directly with those stored financial references and patterns.

Make peace with your parents. Make peace with your past. Make peace with finances. Making peace does not mean ignoring what happened. It means updating the internal memory and emotional references that continue to drive present behavior. Many people attempt to manifest more money using affirmations. But if internal conditioning is filled with disappointment, resentment, or distrust, positive statements will not override the stored program. Your nervous system follows repetition. Your identity follows memory. If you want different financial results, you must update the internal references shaping your decisions and reactions.

Many people say they want more. More money, more success, more opportunity. But they repeat the same internal narrative: “I never get ahead.” “Nothing works for me.” The subject changes. The pattern does not. You can learn investment strategies and financial tactics. Those can increase income. But money does not create happiness. It amplifies the identity and emotional programs already operating. Your current results are aligned with your internal references. If you want different outcomes, update the conditioning between your ears. In the March workshop, we address the emotional programs and financial identity patterns that shape your results.

A nurse spent her life working. Work was her coping skill. It kept her busy and prevented her from thinking or feeling deeply. She saved money and prepared for retirement. Then retirement came. Without work as distraction, unresolved emotional patterns surfaced. The money she accumulated was spent trying to regain lost health. Money was not the problem. Many people associate money with moral meaning, religion, guilt, or obligation. If money represents something negative in your internal references, you will unconsciously mishandle it. Money is neutral. Your conditioning determines the relationship. In the March workshop, we identify and update the emotional programs driving financial behavior and identity.

You can grow up in a family where money is everything. One child becomes financially successful. Another rejects wealth completely. Why? Because money is not just currency. It carries emotional meaning. If money was used as control, obligation, or manipulation, your nervous system encodes those experiences. Later in life, even if you earn significant income, your internal identity may still feel unworthy or unsafe. This creates what I call the “poor rich person.” Financially successful. Emotionally bankrupt. Self-sabotage follows identity. In the March workshop, we identify and update the emotional programs driving financial behavior. Not hype. Not motivation. Mechanism. If you’re tired of repeating the same financial pattern, join us. linktr.ee/robertgenesmith (copy & paste this link into your browser)

If you believe wealthy people are bad, greedy, or corrupt, your nervous system will resist becoming one. This is not about energy. It is about conditioning. Financial identity is built from family traditions, cultural messaging, and repeated emotional experiences around money. If your internal program equates wealth with moral compromise, you will unconsciously sabotage expansion. Money does not create character. It amplifies what is already there. There are greedy people without money. There are kind people with it. If you want more financially, you must update the internal references shaping your decisions, behaviors, and emotional reactions to wealth. In the March workshop, we address the conditioning behind financial identity and rewrite the patterns driving your results. linktr.ee/robertgenesmith (copy & paste this link into your browser) #BeliefSystems #FinancialMindset #PersonalGrowth #WealthBuilding

Money is often treated as a financial issue. But in many cases, money is a metaphor. In childhood, whoever controlled the money often controlled approval, safety, or emotional connection. The brain links those experiences. Over time, money stops being currency and starts representing love, worth, or power. If money was withheld, you may equate earning with being valued. If money caused conflict, success may trigger discomfort. If resources were taken, keeping money may feel unsafe. These are emotional programs built from memory and repetition. In the March workshop, we identify and update the conditioning that drives financial behavior. Not hype. Not motivation. Mechanism.

Why do some people become financially successful but still feel empty? In this short teaching, Robert Gene Smith explains how early memories shape ambition and success. A childhood decision made during stress or family conflict can become a lifelong emotional program. Every memory is training. You may build wealth from pain, fear, or the desire to prove something. But money does not erase emotional patterns. It only amplifies what is already inside. If you want success without carrying old emotional programs, you must update the memory driving the behavior.

Why do you keep repeating the same financial cycle? In this short teaching, Robert Gene Smith explains how every memory becomes training. What you saw and heard about money growing up created emotional programs and mental patterns that still influence your decisions today. Financial frustration is not identity. It is repetition. When you internalize your early references about money, your brain continues to recycle them, even when you consciously want something better. If you want better financial results, you must update the internal pattern. In our March live workshop, we work directly with these emotional programs using FasterEFT. Join us live and break the cycle. #RobertGene #FasterEFT #MoneyBeliefs #PersonalGrowth #FinancialPatterns

Why do people say they want more money… but can’t seem to keep it? In this short teaching, Robert Gene Smith explains the mental mechanics behind financial resistance. Money problems are rarely about skill. They’re about emotional programs and learned patterns. Your brain aligns you with what feels familiar, not what you say you want. If wealth doesn’t feel safe or normal in your nervous system, you will unconsciously return to your previous level. This is about updating internal references, not forcing motivation.

There’s a reason you can practice for years… have the mechanics dialed in… and then suddenly your body won’t cooperate when it matters. For peak performance, both mind and body must work together. The inner game wins, or it will lose. It’s not because you “forgot how.” It’s because your brain is pulling up old emotional programs at game time. This will affect the golfer's mental game because the brain feels like self-sabotage, but in reality, it is performance anxiety. And when that program runs, your hands tighten, your breathing shifts, and your performance drops—like a TV rerun you didn’t ask for. In this episode, I sit down with mid-amateur golfer Adam Houck, who went from panic and freezing on the first tee after the pandemic… to getting his game—and his life—back. We talk about the inner game, why the emotional side of performance is the real decider, and how to clear the memories that hijack your results. You don’t need more coping. You need change at the root. If you’re tired of being “fine in practice” and falling apart under pressure—book a session with me. We’ll find the program, tap it out, and build the version of you that can finish strong. Key Points From the Video 1. Once you have skill, the rest becomes emotional. 2. The body follows the brain—it doesn’t “decide,” it executes what the mind holds. 3. Performance drops aren’t random—they’re triggered by programs (old memories, old pressure, old shame). 4. Why athletes “choke”: they replay the failure (like the bull rider replaying the bad ride). 5. Visualization works because the brain trains from imagined reps (practice in the mind). 6. Panic attacks are often the brain trying to protect you—a survival response tied to earlier experiences. 7. “Proving people wrong” is dirty fuel—it burns you out and steals joy. 8. The shift: playing from curiosity and mastery (“How good can I get?”). 9. The best performers stay in the zone/trance—they don’t get pulled into crowd pressure. 10. The win is internal: change the emotional program, and performance follows. #InnerGameWins, #SportsPerformance, #MentalGame, #AthleteMindset, #GolfMindset, #SportsPsychology, #PerformanceAnxiety, #ChokingUnderPressure, #PeakPerformance, #MindsetTraining, #FasterEFT, #Eutaptics, #Tapping, #EmotionalTriggers, #NervousSystemRegulation, #Confidence, #Visualization, #StayInTheZone, #AnxietyRelief, #TraumaHealing Follow Robert: www.instagram.com/...nesmith_official/ FB.com/RobertGeneSmith www.tiktok.com/...rtgenesmith_official www.linkedin.com/in/robertgene/ Get the free 5-day course here: linktr.ee/robertgenesmith Follow Robert: www.instagram.com/...nesmith_official/ FB.com/RobertGeneSmith www.tiktok.com/...rtgenesmith_official www.linkedin.com/in/robertgene/ Get the free 5-day course here: linktr.ee/robertgenesmith

Most money problems aren’t about math. They’re about conditioning. If you grew up around money conflict, money shame, or money getting taken, your nervous system learned a rule: money isn’t safe. That rule becomes a program. Then the adult repeats it through avoidance, overspending, undercharging, or getting scared when the account grows. In the March Workshop, Why You Keep Sabotaging Money (And How to Stop), we work directly with the memories and references that built the pattern, so you can stop repeating it. What did money represent in your family: love, safety, control, or shame? #robertgene #fastereft #moneysabotage #financialstress

Why do some people win millions and lose it all? Why do others lose everything and rebuild wealth again? Because money follows conditioning. Your brain collects stories and references about money through family, culture, and emotional experiences. Those references become programs. Those programs drive financial behavior. Money itself is neutral. The meaning attached to it determines the outcome. In the March workshop, we update the emotional conditioning behind financial patterns. If you’re ready to change the program, join us. #robertgene #fastereft #MoneyMindset #FinancialLiteracy #WealthBuilding

Money is not the problem. Your relationship with money is built from early memories, repeated experiences, and emotional references. If you grew up hearing “we don’t have money,” your nervous system learned “I can’t have.” That program continues to run long after childhood. Financial behavior is alignment with belief. FasterEFT works by updating the emotional conditioning behind those patterns. If you want to understand how to change the program instead of fighting the symptoms, learn more about FasterEFT. #robertgene #fastereft #MoneyMindset #FinancialFreedom #RelationshipWithMoney

Money isn’t good or bad. It’s neutral. Like a tool, it works based on how it’s used and that depends on conditioning. People don’t struggle with money because they’re lazy or incapable. They struggle because their nervous system learned a stressful relationship with it. This clip explains how money becomes something you work for or something that works for you. To change the relationship at the root, join the March workshop: Why You Keep Sabotaging Money (And How to Stop).

As children, we don’t understand money. We absorb it. Through family arguments, scarcity messages, and moral judgments about wealth, the brain creates references that later control financial behavior. Money itself is neutral. The conditioning is not. This clip explains how money patterns are learned, and why they repeat. To change the pattern at the root, join the March workshop: Why You Keep Sabotaging Money (And How to Stop).

Money patterns don’t start with numbers. They start with memory. Small childhood moments create references your brain uses for life (about earning, value, and possibility). Money isn’t mystical. It’s practical. When those references change, behavior changes. This clip explains how money patterns form and why they repeat. To work directly with these patterns, join the March workshop: Why You Keep Sabotaging Money (And How to Stop).
