turnaround started when I realized how much the Universe/God wanted to give me all I wanted. Then I had to get out of my own way, because the trick is that you have to really want it too, to the point where you believe that it’s already yours. I work in a corporate setting and I started moving up the chain once I applied myself and shifted my mindset. I took on more responsibility and got out of my comfort zone as much as possible. What keeps me going is remembering why I started doing the work that I do in the first place—because I love helping people, I love using my brain, I love being challenged on a regular basis, I love the camaraderie at my office. I also remember that I don’t want to be stuck in the same place as I was when the project started. The sense of accomplishment is like a drug. Before, money was difficult to get, now money is all around me and I attract it. I normally pay for everything via credit card, however I make it a point to have some cash in different places in my house at all times. Not so I can necessarily spend it, but more to set an unconscious reminder that money is everywhere and all I need to do is reach out and grab it. I know . . . corny, right . . . but for me it works. It helps take away the anxiety when unexpected things happen and things get tight. Get over the fear—get to the root of the fear and deal with it. TO GET RICH Suggested Money Mantra (say it, write it, feel it, own it): I love money because it’s the root of so much awesome. 1. Write down five positive words to describe money. 2. Practice saying thank-you every time you receive money, think to yourself, “See, money loves me, it just can’t stay away,” do a victory lap around your house, kiss your checks, celebrate the momentous gift of being in the flow with abundance—what you appreciate appreciates. Do this whether money is sent to you in the mail, shows up as interest on an investment, is handed to you by a person, etc. Relish the feeling of gratitude and the joy of being in the flow with money. 3. Spend at least five minutes every day sitting in silence connecting with the energy of money. Imagine money flowing all around you, filling you up, moving into and out of your heart. Also, walk around all day feeling into this as much as possible. 4. Leave money around your house in various places so you get used to seeing it all the time. Remind yourself how abundant it is. Make it like an Easter egg hunt. Please fill in the blank: I’m grateful to money because ____________________.
CHAPTER 4 BEST PRACTICES FOR BUSTING YOURSELF Somewhere along my journey through overcoming my financial flimsiness, I attended a weekend seminar called Manifesting Money Like a Millionaire! I don’t remember the specifics, but it was probably in Las Vegas, probably in some fairly cheesy hotel conference room, definitely outside my comfort zone. There was about a three-year period in my early forties when I went to these types of things all the time. This particular event happened sometime after I started my online business helping writers get their book proposals done, before my business broke six figures for the first time, and months after moving out of chez garage into a house built for humans. I usually had to drag myself to these seminars because I felt so out of place at them. Not because I didn’t desperately need the information, cuz lawd knows I did, but because if any of my friends caught me there with a name tag pinned to my chest, discussing the power of gratitude in my little breakout group, participating in the call and answer: “Who’s a wealth magnet?” “I’m a wealth magnet!” “I can’t hear you?” “I’M A WEALTH MAGNET!” I’d never live it down. In other words, I felt above it all. Too cool for school. Snarkasaurus Rex. Sort of like people who love to travel (tourists) and love to comment (me) about how amazing a place would be if only there weren’t so many tourists. Basically, I was obsessed with the idea of self-transformation, my own in particular, I was fascinated by concepts like the power of mindset, and I realized I wanted to be a life coach at the level of the guy up on stage instead of remaining the Book Lady for the rest of my life. But I was embarrassed to admit to any of it because I was afraid of what the people in my life would think. This was still back in the days when life coaching was regarded with the same highly questionable legitimacy as was (is?) psychic readings or hair-growth tonics. What the hell is it anyway? Is it like therapy? Does it involve doing jumping jacks?
