The Prosperity Game

The Prosperity Game

I like that word, "game".  It implies fun.  And when you add "prosperity" to the phrase, I definitely have a the mindset that I want to win.

But what if you have scarcity mentality?  I grew up cutting coupons, feeling guilty for buying anything extravagant, and did all that I could instead of hiring someone.  I remember my Mom asking me if I wanted to skip school because the Supermarket was having a sale AND TRIPLE coupon day.  Oh golly, what an exciting day.  Although I grew up in a middle class neighborhood, the energy was scarcity.

Until now.

I'm remapping my financial reprint.  Yep, reprogramming.  I have ideas and visions and world change that I want to do, and money will help me do it. 

So what is this prosperity game?

It's a practice to put into play.  At first, I challenge you to do it for 21 consecutive days.  Start with $10,000.  And write down how you would spend every dollar of it.. specifics and detailed as possible (Don't just say it out loud or in your mind, it is imperative to write it down.)   If you want to go on a trip, where would you go, how much would airfare, hotel, food, entertainment would it cost?  If you have credit card debt, who is the creditor?  Then day 2, add another $10,000.  So now you have $20,000 to spend.  Then day 3, $30,000.  Keep adding $10,000 everyday, for 21 days.  

You will start to see where your blocks are, where your mindset is...and this exercise helps to get them out of the way, so the money can easily flow.  Your subconscious mind will believe it already happened, and the Universe will find the "how" to make it happen - just have faith. Do the game. Have fun.  Be creative. Give.  Be of service.

Thank you Kathleen Deggelman for showing me this game.  It has changed my life.

Small Steps into Big Dreams

Small Steps into Big Dreams

I was self sabotaging.  I had big dreams, and honestly, they were so big that my body couldn't feel them and my mind couldn't wrap around it.  How do you imagine $100,000 a month?  What would that feel like, look like, what would you buy?  I had my dreams so big that it was simply a joke to my mind.  

The ironic part is I didn't want to play it "small" anymore.  So I thought by dreaming big, I wasn't being small.  But if I can't create it, how could the big dreams ever come true?  

Until, I had a shift, a mental clarity.  Take the small, actionable steps, and repeat.  I know how to create and spend $10,000 a month.  I know what steps I have to take.  It's by doing the little things that allows me to expand into "greatness", into bigger dreams.

In essence, I'm playing and dreaming big...just one, small step at a time.

When You Give Back

I remember listening to Tony Robbins and he was talking about hitting a (financial) plateau at different points in his career.  Do you what changed it for him?  When he didn't make it about him.  His goals were about helping others.  First, it was with the birth of his son.  Another time it was about feeding kids...and then feeding 1 million kids.  Each time, his salary increased.

In the last interview I heard him say that he fed 42 million kids in his lifetime.  That's really impressive, and it is certainly is giving back. Guess what?  Now, his goal is to feed 42 million kids in one year!!  What do you think will happen to his income?!

Imagine that feeling -- from the financial wealth but more importantly from his spirit, how fulfilling.  

I have certain financial goals, and they are started conservative - $100K/year, then to $250K/year.  Which was a process.  And then I thought about things that are important to me - environment, right to know what is in our food such as GMO's, having the choice if we want our kids vaccinated, our rain forests.... my goal grew to $100K/month.  

After hearing Tony, I think I need to even stretch my goals even bigger.  It's not about me.  It's about what I can do for this planet and for others.
