The Mindset Shift That Makes Wealth Possible: Inside 'Get Good with Money'

Why changing your beliefs about money is the first step to lasting financial success

Before you ever create a budget or invest a dollar, your beliefs about money are shaping your destiny. Tiffany Aliche’s 'Get Good with Money' begins with mindset, arguing that the stories you tell yourself—often inherited from family or society—are the real barriers to wealth.

Common limiting beliefs include 'I’m just bad with money,' 'I’ll never get out of debt,' or 'Wealth is for other people.' Aliche encourages readers to identify these stories and rewrite them. Exercises like journaling, gratitude lists, and self-forgiveness rituals help break the cycle of shame and fear. Community support—whether from friends, family, or online groups—provides accountability and encouragement.

Changing your mindset isn’t a one-time event; it’s a daily practice. Aliche shares examples of readers who started small—tracking their spending, celebrating tiny wins, and slowly building new habits. Over time, these changes compound, leading to greater confidence and bigger victories.

The book also emphasizes gratitude. By focusing on what you have, rather than what you lack, you create a sense of abundance that attracts more opportunities. Self-forgiveness is equally important; everyone makes mistakes, but they don’t define your future. Aliche’s compassionate approach helps readers let go of the past and embrace a brighter tomorrow.

Ultimately, the mindset shift is what makes every other step possible. When you believe you deserve wealth and are capable of achieving it, the practical steps—budgeting, saving, investing—become much easier. 'Get Good with Money' offers the tools and support you need to make this shift, unlocking a new chapter of financial freedom.
