“I need money to survive.”
Wrong.
This is a survival mentality and a self-fulfilling prophecy. To the extent you believe this, you therefore become more and more desperate for money. You lose all sense of morality, character, and purpose because survival trumps all these things.
It’s a downward spiral. Read the Rest of This Article »
10 Money Myths That Keep You From Making Big Money: Myth 3
“I Can’t Do My (business, art, purpose, mission) Without Funding First!”
This is probably the number one money myth that drives us away from living our dreams, passions, and true talent and consequently realizing abundant wealth from those gifts and inspiration. And it is not only a major money myth, but it is a big fat convenient excuse keeping you from investing in yourself.
I know that many of you are going to be totally offended at this one. But if you really want to live your purpose, your gift, your talent— nothing, and I mean nothing, should stop you or distract you.

It is also the basic tenant of advertising that by repeating something over and over again, it becomes truth.
Let’s face it: 50 years ago, no one needed deodorant. Mankind survived for thousands and thousands of years without it. Suddenly in the past 50 years, deodorant is an absolute necessity in polite culture.

Making Money vs. Creating Abundance
To make money or to create Abundance, what’s the difference? Seems like a minor distinction, doesn’t it?
On the surface it is. However, after exploring the subject of abundance in depth, I woke up this morning with an epiphany.
Trying to deliberately make money, doesn’t work.
Correction. It works enough to fool us into thinking we can deliberately make money, but as it turns out; we are only chasing it. It teases us into thinking that “making money” is an actual skill. On a certain level that’s true, but only if you have the printing press to print it! Read the Rest of This Article »
