Tips and Affirmations on Manifesting More Money Into Your Life.
Well, December has been quite the plot twist I needed to round out 2018. At the beginning of the year, I was moving through a transitional period of having traveled year-round competing in professional events and spending 8-10 hour days at the golf course, to making a decision to move on from competing and seek out new adventures. The best way I can explain the first half of the year was going through somewhat of a mild depression. Imagine doing something you are extremely passionate about every day. Waking up and having a routine, goals to work towards, events to get ready for. When I decided to move on from golf, I went through a phase where my days lacked purpose. I didn't have the drive to get out of the house, overwhelmed with the newfound freedom and a change of routine that had been ingrained in me for so long, saying I was lost is quite the understatement.
One thing I was never confused about, was that I did not want to have to succumb to a 9-5 lifestyle. My freedom has always been very important to me, and giving that up for me would be just outright changing the essence of who I am. As I said before, life is an adventure, one that is full of plot twists and surprises. We can get so caught up in the comfort of our routines, but remember it's when we are feeling lost that we are forced to find the light that leads us out of the darkness. The first 6 months of 2018 was spent barely surviving month to month, contemplating if it was time to sell my soul to some corporate 9-5, to December where I have logged my first 10K+ month, all while still maintaining my freedom and doing what I am absolutely passionate about. If you asked me about 2018 in September, I would have told you it was one of the worst, least exciting years to date. Now, on the precipice of 2019, I can tell you I have learned some of the MOST valuable life lessons, on growth and determination by being in those lows and I can't wait to see where it leads in the New Year.
So, In the spirit of New Years and New Beginnings, I've decided to share with you some of the lessons and affirmations that have gotten me through the year and led to more abundance in financial success:
Think Outside The Box
When anyone asks me what it is I do for work I find this to be such a hard question to answer. The better question is what don't I do? Luckily, with golf, I have still been able to work events and for the majority of the year, I was relying on those events to pay my bills. What an excellent way to make money, by selling a service, one I am very skilled at. This led to my first light bulb moment. What else am I good at, what else do I enjoy doing that I can potentially turn into a source of income? Sometimes we get so caught up in what society tells us we must do in order to live happy comfortable lives when the reality is sometimes all it takes is a little creativity and out-of-the-box ideas to get you where you really want to go.
Nobody is getting rich off their 9-5
Sure, you might be making a nice salary, but normally in the corporate world, More Money = Less Freedom. In a time where the whole world is available at your fingertips, I truly believe that developing a side-gig is what will ultimately get you where you would like to go. For the people with the excuse of, "Not having the time." Be honest with yourself, and figure out whether you don't have the time, or you just are too lazy to make the effort? In the first half of the year, I was the, don't have the time girl. Yet, I was putting my energy towards a life of production that wasn't producing. Sometimes, it's good to feel tight because it forces you to stretch and figure out ways to grow. Some mornings I wake up at 5 am just to have the time to get something done, while not sacrificing any other parts of my day. It's just a question of how bad you want something.
FAIL FASTER
Instead of being afraid to fail, start learning to look at the positives of failures. This might have been the best lesson I learned all year. Stop planning and start doing, the quicker you fail, the quicker you can learn how to re-adjust and reshape however you were approaching things before. If you are trying to find a successful side-gig or seeing what business ideas might take off, start by just doing it. That way you learn quickly what works and what doesn't.
GET OVER YOURSELF
I can not stress this enough! Friends, we live in a world where if you are not promoting yourself or using the world wide web to bring in business. You are MISSING OUT. Having online biz, I have learned it can be the easiest most effortless way to make money. While you physically may only be able to connect with people on an in-person basis, the internet allows you to connect with people GLOBALLY. Whatever, little niche service you offer, there is a good chance there is a market for it. It's up to you to be willing to put yourself out there. Stop letting fear of what other people think of you keep you from pursuing the life you want. Chances are those people don't matter anyway, and if you are someone who does that to other people, well stop judging and start learning. Cause I guarantee, at the end of the month when this person is checking their bank account they don't give AF what you are thinking about them.
KNOW YOUR WORTH
Just like I've learned to invest in properties that will provide me with financial gains, I've learned it's important to do the same for yourself. Invest in you, believe in yourself. This year I have spent a good chunk of money on self-improvement, life coaches, in order to help me figure my sh*t out. What a damn good investment. The biggest thing I took away from all these sessions, is to stop doing shit for FREE. In all aspects of your life. Stop giving people your time for free, it's called the law of compensation. If I provide you with a service, then in order to energetically bring balance you must be compensated for your time and service, this could be monetarily or even in regards to friendships and partnerships, you should be spending time with people who match you energetically not people who deplete you. People who don't understand this are probably people with who you shouldn't be doing business or having relationships with. When you are first beginning it is very difficult to charge people, personally, I struggled with this a lot in the beginning, am I really qualified to be charging for things like networking? Energy Healing? or Life Coaching. I picked up this nice little affirmation, "People love to pay me for my services." I think back on all the times I have willingly paid people for their services no matter how wild it was, and I have paid happily because as I said there should always be reciprocity. You are the one who set's your own value, the people that resonate with you will follow suit. If you give your time for free, you will always lack the personal confidence necessary to make money.
Making Money is Really F*cking Easy
Start saying this to yourself every day! You may not believe in the law of attraction or the power of affirmations, but let me tell you it has changed my life. I make money and get to do all the things I love, and I still have the time to travel and do whatever the hell I want. SO, I'll leave you with these affirmations. "The more money I make, the more money I make." haven't you noticed those multimillionaires are making money in their sleep at this point? It's because once you get over that terror barrier of making money or charging people for your time and service, you build the confidence in yourself that you can do it. Not only am I making money, but I feel so fulfilled doing so because I am helping others at the same time do the same things. It's easy to be motivated every day to pursue my passions, and the beautiful thing is people want to pay you!
So, friends, let your 2019 affirmation be, I AM A MONEY MAGNET! Currency, it's all energy. When you learn the laws of the universe life becomes easy and you can allow yourself the freedom to design yours the way you would like it. Learn to do less, work smarter, not harder. When I sat down with my life coach/hypnotherapist back in October, I made a goal to hit 10k a month by March. I did that in December!! All it took was being a little bit more open-minded, a little bit more confident in myself and what I'm doing, and a few simple yet powerful affirmations. I am not special. If I can do it, I really and truly believe anyone else can as well, you just have to be willing to commit to radical beliefs and get a little bit creative. There is so much opportunity in the world, you just have to open your eyes and stop limiting yourself. Like I said the more money I make, the more money make, so you best believe I am excited to see where 2019 is headed!
Happy New Year
