Relax! Breathe! You have better control of your money now! So what are the 10 Steps you could implement right now for Abundance? Write down your eulogy, your goals and purpose statement. Review your goals as frequently as possible. This keeps you focused despite the chaos of daily life. Track all your expenses for three months. Then you’ll find you have so much control over your money that is will be a habit for life. Open your savings accounts (both long term and short term) Implement the 60/40 principle with money that is NOT your paycheck. Live within your means, always. If  you don’t have the cash to buy it, don’t Invest in yourself. Learn how money grows. Totally understand compound interest! If you don’t have an IRA, open one. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go to www.ira.com and learn, learn, learn.  Declutter your purse, wallet, car, house, garage, and storage units. Learn a new skill once a month. Make this month’s skill the use of a Price Book for Groceries. I teach this as an online video course. Check it out==>>HERE. Read a financial book once every six months.

You allocate your money in this way using the 60/40 principle: 60% you live on. This goes into your main checking account 10% goes into a long-term saving vehicle (IRA, 401k, Keogh account, solo401k) for retirement. If you don’t currently have a retirement account of any kind, open two savings accounts at your bank (one for long-term savings and one for short-term savings) 10% goes into a short-term savings account for use in those occasional large-scale expenses (such as new tires) or emergencies (the hot water heater leaks all over your newly laid carpet!) 10% is tithed to a church or secular charity that is in line with your purpose and passion. this is your “rent” for occupying space on the planet. 10% is pure philanthropy. That’s right, you just give it away for the benefit of the community at large. This primes the pump so that the Universe starts sending more money your way. Once you’ve retired your debts, you start applying the 60/40 principle to all of your income. Questions?  Take my free online course 10 Steps to Abundance or Connect with me on LinkedIn

Money is not linear. It moves in a huge circle through our lives and if you’re able to direct your dollars into the three areas it needs to keep regenerating, you’ll keep your cash flow increasing.  The flow of money is split into three large sections that move around our lives in a curved path: The Living Arm of money is the path most of us know about intimately. It is where all the expenses are located and it usually take up 110% of our income. Yep, we spend beyond our means in this category. The Saving Arm of money is the least known path for Americans. We really stink at saving money. The Chinese and Japanese so have us beat in this area. Of our entire US population only 2-3% saves money. Yikes! The Giving Arm of money is actually well done by Americans. We are a very giving country, but the reason we don’t benefit like we could by this movement of money is due to our inconsistency of giving. We donate here, there and everywhere, but in a very sporadic way. This doesn’t help keep the flow of money going. Consistency is the key here.  Questions?  Take my free online course 10 Steps to Abundance or Connect with me on LinkedIn

There are different ways to refer to this Natural Law by using the following versions: “The Law of Cause and Effect” “The law of the Harvest” “What you sow, that you shall reap” “What goes around comes around” “Birds of a feather flock together” “To him that has, more shall be given” “Like begets like” Despite the near-universal acceptance of this well-known law, people still struggle implementing it when they need something or when they see that others in their communities are in need.

There are times you will have to change your buying habits in order to get the best value for your money. I had one client, Linda, tell me that she was having difficulty figuring out where she could cut corners in her expenses. After two months of tracking, she came to my office and we worked through her monthly expense sheet. I asked her about her paper towel use. Linda would only buy one particular brand and she knew exactly how many rolls she went through a week. I showed her that she was spending $520 a year on paper towels alone. It looked like this: 4 rolls per week @ $2.50 each = $10 a week x 52 weeks a year = $520 annually. Don’t let commercials fool you. Disposable products are not that convenient to make me give up on financial independence by throwing my money away!

The Most Important Skill you can start practicing today regarding your financial situation is to stop lying about money! Yep, that’s right. It is time for you to be totally honest and direct when it comes to talking about cash. White lies about money are disastrous. Let’s look at what happens when you lie:  You say you saved $40 on a sale rather than the actual amount of $36. You then begin rounding dollars and cents in your head in a way that caters to your buying habits Over months you lose track of the amount of money you seriously are spending After a year you get your credit card bill and your stunned that you are so far in debt Make sure you speak the truth about money.

[TPMS] Next Episode – Step 2 If you don’t know where you’re going, you won’t get there. You will be living life by default. Success in any enterprise is know what you want?EXACTLY. Having a mental picture so clear and bright that you can tell someone detail after detail of what you want. Once you’ve decided what you want from life here are the questions to ask: What does it (the dream life, house, car, idea, business) look like? What is its purpose? What sorts of things will you be doing with it? What people will you need to bring it to fruition? Do you need them to work for you? Can you get what you want by renting rather than buying? Do you have storage space for it? Do you need to get rid of something before you get the new thing? Questions? Take my free online course 10 Steps to Abundance or Connect with me on LinkedIn

I’m sure at some point you have asked yourself the question: Why should I meditate? Here are just a few of the advantages: 1-Slowing down: Slow life down and focus on the most important person in your life. You. How can you hear the “small, still voice within” when you have so much stimulus coming from thoughts, your 5 senses, and emotions? 2-Receiving Clarity:  You deserve the clarity that meditation brings. 3- Quieting the Mind: Meditation calms the mind in a gentle way. 4-Calming the Emotions: Stop the rollercoaster ride that drama can give you. Live purposefully. 5-Growing in Self-Awareness: In order to bring about the life you crave, self-awareness is key. 6-Communicating with the Divine: It is necessary to get the bird’s eye view on our life and that is done through viewing our lives through the lens of our Soul or Higher Self. That form of super-conscious communication does not come about from our awareness through physical or mental means; you need the intuition on this one. Start meditating today.  If you need some guidance, pick up a free copy of my meditation resources.

We are joined today by Jimmy Trapp, an illustrator with a large catalogue of completed works. When he was young, his parents always encouraged him to make things his own. This is often seen in his work, which takes influence from many other artists but adds Jimmy’s own touch. A lot of his art is targeted towards children, but he also aims to include a little something extra for parents to enjoy. Jimmy has recently started a comic strip titled Scare Care. In this episode, he shares what his inspiration is for Scare Care and what long-term goals he hopes to achieve with it. Right now, Jimmy is gauging the comic’s reception to determine if he should commit more time to children’s books or comic books.

Prior to the year 2000, David Hayes was an atheist. After an encounter with Jesus in the bunk room of a fire station, his life was forever changed. In 2008, God appeared to David in a dream and said He would heal his patients if he prayed for them. Although David didn’t believe in healing at the time, he reluctantly began praying. Since then, he has stumbled upon some keys to operating in healing and miracles, and began blogging about the people he prayed with who were being healed. David also writes about dreams, deliverance, seeing in the spirit, hearing God’s voice, spiritual travel, economics, politics, and church leadership. Most of David’s work is written under the name “The Praying Medic” including his 12 books, along with many online courses and blog posts! In our chat with David today, he shares the details of how he transitioned from being an atheist after meeting God. We also learn about the process of seeing into spirit, and get advice for people who are trying to do the same. Practicing and developing the skills is key!   Links: https://prayingmedic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/prayingmedichome https://www.amazon.com/Praying-Medic/e/B00HM9IBOO
