Stop Chasing Money And Do This Instead


I stopped chasing money and I stopped chasing success when I was about 22 years old. When I stopped, the craziest thing happened, I unexpectedly started attracting huge sums of it. That's happens when you stop chasing money ... I don't like saying it to brag, but I became a millionaire in net worth before I was twenty nine years old.

I did this one thing instead. And when I did this, I opened up the flood Gates and I started to basically become a magnet to money. Now the same thing can happen to you. And it could probably happen in a lot greater quantities as well. And in fact, this is really great because it's a lot easier than you think. You're going to spend less time and get better results.

The first step to stop chasing money is a quote that was by Ralph Waldo Emerson. And he basically said, you come to a point in your journey where you realize that imitation is suicide.

This is what happens with money. Imitation becomes suicide If you want success in life. And I learned the hard way, but then it was the best thing that ever happened to me because I wanted to be a college speaker. I paid this guy a bunch of money to mentor me and ended up not working out. I didn't get all the stuff that I had paid for, but it was kind of the rest of my money. And so I was in this really bad spot where I didn't have any money, but I also didn't have a plan on how to make more of it because I was putting all my eggs in one basket and becoming a college speaker.

The reason I wanted to do that is because I saw this guy that was older than me, that was really successful at it and making a bunch of money and he seem to have the life that I wanted.

So I just got basically tunnel-vision, trying to be like him. Then the rug was swept out under me after I invested all this money and all this time more importantly. It sucked really bad for financial reasons, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I felt screwed. 

But out of that, I ended up realizing that I was just trying to copy this guy. And I got to this place where I lost so much clarity in my life and the result of losing all of that actually gave me a new found clarity. And I realized I didn't even want to be a college speaker.

If you knew you were going to be passing away, could you say assuredly "I feel like my life is complete". I felt like the answer at that time was absolutely no, I didn't. I didn't feel like I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish and leave what I wanted to leave to the world. I realized I wanted to have an Epic YouTube channel that was inspiring millions of people from all over the world, uplifting the awareness and consciousness and people all over the world.

I wanted to do online courses. I wanted my books to be translated in other languages, and I wanted to do it all through the internet. This way it's everlasting too. I wouldn't have to be on the grind going school to school after applying and hoping they like me in the first place.

I realized imitation was suicide. And what I was doing was chasing the money. If you stop chasing the money, but you ask yourself a simple question, "what do you really want"? Synchronicities start coming your way. You're no longer afraid of your great idea.

We talk ourselves out of chasing our dreams because we are conditioned to think we can't make money at it. So if you eliminate that statement that opens up the key to no longer trying to imitate and follow what other people say is what you need to do to be successful.

Step number two out of this process is letting go of chasing. When you chase it, it often eludes you because you're in a consciousness of really needing it.

You're in a consciousness of a lot of lack and a lot of fear and a lot of anxiety and a lot of worry. But the ironic thing is that's happening all subconsciously and the subconscious mind controls our life. So subconsciously we continue to create from that level of consciousness. Albert Einstein said, you can't solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it. So you can't solve your problem of lack of money and lack of success. You can't solve your problem of not having as much money and success as you want. If you feel it's this big problem.



In the Bible it says to those that have more will be given. You have to be coming from a place of abundance. I wasn't coming from it. I was like, Oh, I'd really like to go and do my thing on online. Albert Einstein also said, logic will take you from a to B, but imagination can take you anywhere. So then you go, okay, I don't need to chase it.

I'm a divine being. I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And you say things like "I'm a genius. I apply my wisdom". Just start saying that all the time. My old story was that i was a dump college drop out who couldn't pass his classes so how could I get rich? I changed that to this statement of being a genius. It felt weird at first as you can imagine. But I stuck with it with belief.

When you do, you start making decisions out of love and excitement as opposed to out of logic and fear. You make decisions out of love and excitement, as opposed to logic and fear. Most people make their entire financial decisions out of logic and fear. They do it from watching, by setting very small goals that they incrementally think they can achieve. I.

You aim too low and you reach it. And one of the best ways that shows up in our lives is through the idea that you can't make money that way. Just eliminate all negative talk around money. And when you do, you move your awareness to a higher level which pulls more abundance to you. The only thing I can attest it to is I finally said yes to the thing that my spirit was actually calling me to in life. And when I did that opened up the flood Gates. Riches, when they come they come in such vast quantities, that one wonders where they were hiding all those lean years. That's when the money starts to chase you.

Another powerful point is to to say "Thank you, That's not part of my belief system" when others doubt what you are going for in life. Just make that your statement. Just press cancel on old negative limiting beliefs. Once imitation stops, once we let go of chasing, then it comes to creating. So many of us are living in a reactionary consciousness with money, our whole lives. We're just reacting. There's a lot of small data that suggests how many people set goals. And there was supposedly a Harvard study that found out that out of a group of a couple graduating classes, only 5% set goals. And those five supposedly made a bunch more money. But I'm willing to bet that not more than one out of every 10 people actually sets written financial goals.

I suggest getting a three by five card and writing on it. I am so happy and grateful and then write how much money you want to make right in the present tense. Carry it with you. Put it in your wallet, put it in your purse, put it in your pocket. Make a little statement that calls in your dream life and put it on their refrigerator or the wall or the mirror and read it every morning and every night out loud and move confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Expected success will meet you in common hours. That's what Henry David Thoreau said. It will just come to you. It will chase you, but you have to trust the process and move through these three steps without looking around and saying, will this work, will this work? Great things can come your way. This can be your year. Step out of the framework of recession and we're all screwed. Remember one simple statement, create your own economy. Today i was laying on the couch and i said, "I have a feeling I'm about to tap into the greatest level of abundance in my entire life. Like I just feel it"



I urge you to practice this and remembe that miracles are normal. Have a wonderful day and i'm sending all my love.

Aloha
