Solving
Money Problems
The Money Quiz
If you won the lottery tomorrow, and your monthly
income increased by ten times within 30 days, you would just naturally
assume that:
-
From now on, life would be
easier and you'd be happy because your future was now secure?
Yes/No
-
With all that money in the
bank you'd now be free to choose whatever you wanted and do what you
really want to do? Yes/No
-
Having this money, would
permanently remove all struggle from your life and you'd have it
made in the shade? Yes/No
Most people would answer the
above questions with an unequivocal "YES", but most of them would be in
for a surprise.
The fact is, that about 80% of
those who win the lottery, end up broke within two years or less. That's
because they somehow came to the conclusion that having lots of money
would make them rich.
How did they acquire this misinformed concept
about money?
I feel it is because the only times they've felt
rich in life were when they were happily spending money.
Could this apply to you?
This "happy-when-I'm-spending" feeling leads
people to believe that "BEING Rich" is just about spending the money.
BUT, nothing could be further from the
truth!
There is an obvious flaw in that brand of
reasoning:
Once the money is gone, you're poor again.
For some people, the experience
of being rich one day and poor the next is an ongoing,
paycheck-to-paycheck drama. The false riches game gets even more insane
when people resort to "feeling rich" through credit card spending.
If you're guilty of attempting
to spend your way to prosperity, you have a relationship to money that
is destined to keep you forever poor.
But if you're fed up with
feeling poor, choose the BEING Solution for your money problems, choose
a different way of relating to money. It's the only real solution for
you if you have negative cash flow problems.
Your Relationship to Money - (from Chapter 20,
"Being The Solution")
BEING poor means you want something from life that
you don't have. That definition for "poor" makes most of us poor! A
millionaire desperate for more wealth is poor, having five maxed out
credit cards makes you poor.
In either case, you will have
chosen a relationship to money that keeps you poor. The purpose of
Chapter 20, is to show you how to change your relationship to money. So,
think about this and see if it fits you.
You Do Have A Relationship With Money
If you think you don't have a relationship with
money, you may want to rethink your opinion. If you see money only as an
inanimate object, just the stuff you receive on paydays, earnings that
never quite stretch to the end of the pay period, then you are at the
effect of the real cause of your money problems.
As long as you
persist in that point of view, your income problems can't be solved.
If you never seem to have all
the money you think you need to make your life whole and complete, your
money problems are the consequence, not the cause, of your predicament.
And to find your way out of
your financial bind, you must be able to see that the real problem is in
WHO you've chosen to BE, as in how you relate to money.
Your Relationship To Money Is Expressed In Three
Ways:
-
As your prosperity consciousness
or lack of it. A prosperity
consciousness can be defined as feeling prosperous when you think
about your personal finances.
-
As your spending
strategy - An insatiable need for
instant gratification will create negative cash flow and the
resulting poverty consciousness will keep you in debt and poor. On
the other hand, spending less than you make creates a positive cash
flow, resulting in the prosperity consciousness that will make you
rich.
-
As your earning strategy
- Almost no one ever became wealthy
off their income from trading hours for dollars. Creating multiple
streams of residual income is the true path to wealth.
In Chapter 17 - How You Attract
Money, from "Being The Solution" you would learn how to use the Power
Pause for developing a prosperity consciousness that would have a
surplus of money flowing in your direction.
The first step toward that
prosperous feeling that attracts money, is to create a positive cash
flow, usually by spending less than you make.
If you are to manage your cash
flow, you'll need to understand the laws of money that control your
spending habits. You'll learn about those laws in Chapter 20. You will
also learn how your current earning strategy is keeping you poor and
you'll find there, some suggestions for changing your earning strategy.
Once you acquire a prosperity
consciousness, you will attract money like a magnet attracts metal
filings. Then when you take full charge of your spending habits and
change your earning strategy, you'll be well on your way to becoming
wealthy.
A Being Solution Example - Maria Mays increased
her massage practice income by 1/3 in just one month.
How did she do that?
Maria spend thirty minutes a day visualizing her
massage practice schedule filled every day with happy satisfied clients.
That visualization process, over a period of one month, changed Maria
from who she had been being, to who she needed to be to have her
schedule filled.
How does that work?
Once you change who you are BEING, the
Universe steps forward to provide everything that belongs with your new
BEING commitment.
Can money problems be that easily solved?
You bet!
You have heard this before and I will repeat it
again and again. There are two spiritual laws that govern what you may
or may not have in your life.
-
The Being Principle
- We become what we think about.
-
The Attraction Principle
- What
you have in life must correspond exactly to who you are.
These two principles run
your life whether you choose to be consciously aware of them or not.
So, now that you are aware of
the rules, you have a choice. You can be a victim of the negative cash
flow you've created by choosing who you would be in your relationship to
money, or you can put those two principles to work to solve your money
problems. Rich or poor, it really is
your choice!
To change your cash flow from
negative to positive, you need only change your relationship to money.
How do you do that? Take charge of your thinking habits. You can
become whoever you want to be by just thinking about becoming that
person.
Let's say you chose to BE
someone who attracts lots of money. Once you accomplished that BEING
intention, the Universe would have no choice except to supply you with
money at the level of your new consciousness.
You acquire a prosperity consciousness, by
changing the pattern of your thinking.
Life Is A Being Choice
Every moment of your life requires a BEING Choice.
Every situation you face requires a BEING Choice. In all cases you're
choosing who you will be under the circumstances.
When you allow yourself to see
that, when you see the light, you'll realize that your escape from
poverty requires nothing more or less than making a new BEING Choice to
replace the poverty consciousness.

Chapter 6, What's Stopping You,
from
"To God Or As God" - Pg 66.
To reaffirm your belief that
there truly IS a way out, let's review the principles governing you
life, The BEING Principle and The Attraction Principle. The number one
principle controlling you destiny is The BEING Principle, we become
what we think about. If you want to take charge of your life, choose
out of that box and take charge of your thinking.
Changing the pattern of your
thinking changes who you are BEING, and in case you'd forgotten, your
new BEING choice becomes a powerful prayer that the Universe must bring
into manifestation. It's the law that your reality concept must
manifest!

Chapter 4 - Money and You
from my book
"So, Why Aren't You Rich?" -
Pg. 85 & 89
The Spender's Law of Money
Our expenses will rise to meet the level of our
income
until we choose otherwise.
The Saver's Law of Money
10% or more of all you earn is yours to save and
invest.
Pg. 99
Your decision to save is not just something you
decided to do;
it is a statement of BEING which results in a
transformation.

Chapter 7 - Being Transformed
from my book
"Being The Solution" - pg
111
Your commitment to yourself is to concentrate your
thoughts for thirty minutes each day; seeing yourself BEING the
successful person who already has what you want most from life. This
process works better if you break the thirty minutes into three
ten-minute segments, perhaps morning, noon and night. I suggest you do
the last visualization just before you go to bed, so that you can dream
about it.
The words you've written on these cards can change
your life, but when used only as an affirmation, they seldom work as
well as when used in visualization. If you can see yourself living that
better life in your dream reality, feeling as you would feel if you were
BEING that successful person, your chances for transforming your life
will be much greater.
