And the moment I switched how I was thinking, when I went from No way<br />

to There must be a way in a flash, I suddenly realized wh<strong>at</strong> was perhaps the<br />

biggest obstacle th<strong>at</strong> had been holding me back from making money for my<br />

entire life.<br />

There are a whole bunch of tricks th<strong>at</strong> will help you unearth your deepse<strong>at</strong>ed,<br />

money-repelling subconscious beliefs, and I’m going to start with the<br />

most powerful, which is this: Hurl yourself into the fire. Run face-first toward<br />

your biggest fear. Take big, audacious action in the direction of your dreams<br />

and do not let the fact th<strong>at</strong> you’re wetting your pants stop you. For me, the<br />

combo of forking over such a gigantic chunk of change and the realiz<strong>at</strong>ion of<br />

just how big and visible I could/would get if I applied myself <strong>at</strong> this level<br />

launched me into an altern<strong>at</strong>e reality. The possibility of the money and the<br />

success felt really really really real for the first time, and it freaked the Little<br />

Prince right out of me.<br />

This is the feeling you’re going for when you make a huge leap in your<br />

life: equal parts excitement and terror. And if you succeed <strong>at</strong> staying the<br />

course, one of the many glorious results can be th<strong>at</strong> you’ll freak your<br />

subconscious out so massively (remember, it’s trying to keep you safely<br />

tucked away inside your comfort zone) th<strong>at</strong> it will rise up, guns a-blazin’, and<br />

reveal itself to you like a pheasant being startled out of a bush. This is exactly<br />

wh<strong>at</strong> happened to me. By thinking a thought I’d never thought before th<strong>at</strong> was<br />

way outside my comfort zone, aka I’m the kind of person who can manifest<br />

$85,000 for a coaching program and become gigantically successful, one of<br />

my deepest, darkest beliefs th<strong>at</strong> was hidden <strong>at</strong> the very bottom of my<br />

subconscious appeared before me, all covered in slime and seaweed, clear as<br />

day. And it was this: If I became a financially successful woman, my adorable<br />

f<strong>at</strong>her, who worked his whole life to provide and care for me, would be<br />

crushed, defe<strong>at</strong>ed, and abandoned because I would no longer need him.<br />

As I waited in line to hand over my credit card and put down a deposit, I<br />

had an image of my sweet old dad, standing there in his yellow V-neck<br />

swe<strong>at</strong>er th<strong>at</strong> he was never seen not wearing, staring down <strong>at</strong> his tennis shoes<br />

with his hands in his pockets, <strong>at</strong> a loss for wh<strong>at</strong> to do or say. Even though he<br />

wasn’t supporting me, my f<strong>at</strong>her’s favorite method of showing me love, and<br />

feeling needed and valued, was to give me money, and I realized th<strong>at</strong> I<br />

subconsciously believed th<strong>at</strong> if I got rich, I’d be rejecting his love and<br />

basically stabbing him in the heart.<br />

This realiz<strong>at</strong>ion was easily some of the most important inform<strong>at</strong>ion I’ve<br />

ever received in my life, aside from learning th<strong>at</strong> Jeff Rumarez had a crush on<br />

me in ninth grade too. Once in possession of my heartbreak over dear old
