Have you ever wished
for something and had it happen? It’s the basic premise for The Secret
and the Law of Attraction. What you focus on is what you get more of. It
really is simple. If you focus on the bills you need to pay, you’re more
likely to get more bills.
Still, you do have to
find the means to pay your bills and some are struggling more than ever
because of what is happening in the economy. I have been encouraging people
to start their own business for the past 18 years. The 450 entrepreneurs
that I work with in the Bay Area have consistently had 90% meet or exceed
their business plans every year.
I’m sure you realize
that the more you make the less you have to be concerned about what you
need. You can have a lot more fun when you’re not worried about how you’re
going to pay your bills.
So take the time to
investigate additional resources of income and challenge yourself to create
a new resource every couple of months until you’ve matched your job’s income.
Then let’s see where it leads . . .

How many of you watched
the Super Bowl? It’s such a tradition! I was getting my car washed when
a nice young man offered to punch in my car wash code and a nice cold bottle
of water. Nice extra service! It was 70 degrees and very warm sitting in
the sun. He told me that he was going to a local bar to watch with friends.
It was his ritual and it was the best way for him to enjoy the event.
Personally, I have only
seen maybe one or two Super Bowls. When I was married I used to buy my
husband season tickets to the Oakland Raiders so he would leave the house
to watch football. It seemed the smartest thing to do. I’m not a spectator;
I would rather be the participant in life.
Does it matter who wins?
Does it matter more how the game is played? Do people take exception to
being the looser? Does it cause conflict among those who weren’t rooting
for the same team?
Do we need another reason
to be in conflict? Other than the entertainment factor, I take exception
to what the competitive sports franchises instigate among relationships.
When you think about
what you want to spend your time doing, pick and choose what is worthwhile.
If you were to take
30 minutes each day and work toward that goal, in one month, you would
have spent 10 hours working towards your ideal!
Go for it! |
