Money – Friend or Foe?
Is Money a Friend or a Foe?
How You Answer This Question
Can Change Your Life
Interesting question, isn’t it?
More than that, understanding the
answer to this one question
CAN BE the key to opening up
your door to success!
It’s true!
When you first viewed the picture of
money above, what was your FIRST
reaction and/or thought?
Be honest!
Did you feel a twinge of pain?
Were you saying things to yourself,
automatically, like:
“Yeah, right! If only I HAD some!”
“Wish I had more of THAT!”
Did you feel ANGRY for a moment . . .
but OPEN to finding out what I had
to say about it?
. . . because you KNOW people
ARE making money online and
so you want to find out HOW
they’re doing it…
I have to tell you, I’ve been there,
and know, first-hand that
having a LACK of Money
does NOT bring you Happiness!
It just keeps you Struggling
to get more, to cover your bills,
just SURVIVING . . . not LIVING. . .
wearing you OUT…
so you have NO ENERGY LEFT
to accomplish anything in life.
Is THAT the type of life YOU want?
Of course not!
Perhaps you viewed it differently:
Did you LIKE the picture of money and think things like:
Nice photo!
Yes, money allows me to do more,
buy more, help others more,
contribute to society, etc.?
I’m glad I found the way to make
money online. . . and help others
do the same!
I’m able to do what I want,
whenever I want, anytime I want,
with whomever I want!
Money affords me the opportunity
to achieve more with the precious
life I’ve been given . . .
to pursue my passion and live
a life full of purpose and meaning.
It is very satisfying and brings
me happiness and a full and rich life.
What MAIN emotion do you
identify when you look at that picture?
Is Money a Friend or a Foe of yours?
It really all boils down to
how YOU VIEW it (your beliefs)
and How YOU USE it (your values).
Money is Simply a TOOL!
We use it to exchange for goods
and services we want or need.
So what we REALLY need is a way to
ACQUIRE it!
So, with that being said,
Your view of Money, really matters.
I just listened to a webinar hangout where
John Lavenia said:
“You know the ONE thing that has made me
more money than anything? I’ll tell you what it is. . . ”
And immediately, you could FEEL a HUSH
come over the audience and ‘see’ everyone lean in
to hear his next words. . .
He continued,
“The ONE thing that has made me more money
than anything is. . .
Daily Meditation.”
He went on, “Actually, the definition of meditation is
Concentration.
As internet marketers, we are here to
create a marketing message.
We have so much ‘garbage’ bombarding us
daily, that we need to clear our mind, and
start with a blank sheet, so to speak. .
a clear canvas. . .
and start with a clear mind…
so that we can CREATE.
And this all starts,
not with the ‘How-to’s’. . .
but with YOU . . .
Your MINDSET.”
I really like John Lavenia. . .
He has read a lot on the subject
and teaches it well !
So, now let’s continue. . .
Your MINDSET has to be adjusted
properly so that you start to attract money to you
without feeling GUILTY in any way!
I strongly suggest, at this point,
that if you don’t have and/or haven’t read
“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill,
go get it and read it NOW.
Study it!
DEVOUR it!
It is, in my opinion, the #1 book
about business and what it takes
to obtain success.
Napoleon Hill interviewed no less than 500
successful entrepreneurs to see
what they had in common and it
led him to an astounding discovery
that he documented in his book. . .
Yes, there is a secret that repeated
in every chapter. . . and you
have to discover it for yourself!
In Chapter 1 of the Deluxe Edition
I have (with a hard black cover,
and gold leaf edges) he starts this
amazing journey saying:
“‘Thoughts are things,’ and powerful things
at that, when they are mixed with
definiteness of purpose, persistence,
and a burning desire for their
translation into riches, or other
material objects.”
On page 13 he says,
‘When riches begin to come, they come
so quickly, in such great abundance,
that one wonders where they have been
hiding during all those lean years.”
In Chapter 3, he outlines the
“Self-Confidence Formula”
“Resolve to throw off the influences
of any unfortunate environment,
and build your own life to order.”
So – You are responsible for your life
and can create any lifestyle you want!
He’s seen it happen, time and time again,
in over 500 entrepreneurs whom he
interviewed! They were not from wealthy
families and did not have college educations!
I have seen this happen in my OWN life!
I wrote a list of what I wanted and
forgot about it.
After we moved, I found the list!
To my surprise, the list said:
* brick ranch home
* 3 Bedroom
* 2 bathrooms
* Large private yard
* Full basement
* Attached garage
* Van in the driveway
That’s exactly where we just
moved AND we got a van!
More recently, I created a “dream board” with
* Keys, representing a car,
* A picture of a woman, representing me losing weight and having a nice wardrobe,
* A brown microfiber couch, coffee table and area rug
Well, I got my car,
lost 72 pounds,
and my son is getting new furniture
and asked if I’d like to have his (used) exact furniture I wanted!
Do you believe YET? 🙂
This should give you HOPE – and a
renewed BELIEF that you can have
ANYTHING you want!
It all starts with YOU and your BELIEFS.
. . . and of course, Taking Action to obtain
or achieve them.
So what do you want your life to look like?
You can create it!
That’s all for today. . .
