Harness Money

Money is old. It has been around for thousands of years. And so has the idea of this article.

For many years I stuck my head in the sand when it came to money. I didn’t have any so I did not want to think about it. But I did think about traveling. I watched Hollywood and thought: I want to go to Italy one day.

But you are not going to get there if you do not think and plan for it. Begin with the end in mind.

What does your best life look like?

Manifest your best life now. Even if you only have $5 in the bank.

Have I already lost you?

When I first heard about this topic I was skeptical to say the least. Manifestation: ‘That is just a bunch of new age spirituality.’ – me.

But then I kept seeing the topic in different places.

I read an old book called ‘Think and Grow Rich‘ and then I I tried it for myself and found that it really does have an impact. It made me feel better and it made me get clear about the goals I was going after.

Money is a lot more than just numbers. It is highly emotional. Couples break up over it. People feel bad about it.

If you want to earn money, keep that money and then grow that money you need to think positively about it. Think about all the things that it can do for you and you can do with it. Things that are good. If you hate money you are never going to love you life.

Before you even look at a number I want you to picture happiness.

Close your eyes.

What does your perfect day look like?

With your eyes closed, really think about it. Think about it from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night.

Where are you?

What does it look like?

Sound like?

Who is there?

What meals are you eating?

Now open your eyes.

Hopefully you feel better and more relaxed.

I know your current life does not look like your dream. The first time I did this exercise I was moving back in with my parents after I could no longer afford after I was fired.

But that dream can and will come true one day, if you focus on it and work toward it. Do this exercise ever so often. Your dreams will change and morph and grow. You will be able to fulfill multiple dreams in your lifetime.

Be specific about your dream life.

How many trips are you taking each year?

How much money are you spending each year?

What kind of car do you drive?

What kind of house do you live in?

You are not going to reach your goal overnight.

I sure didn’t. It took me many years to get to Europe after the day I wrote it down. And then I did it on a budget.

But your dreams will give you something to work toward. It will give a reason and a direction for you to work hard and save and invest those hard earned dollars.

Now are you ready to get to work and change your financial future?
