Here we are the last week in February, wowwee!! How has your month gone? One thing that I have been hearing this month is that it’s “hard to make money” or “I keep trying to make more but nothing is working”.
It’s like the little train – you have probably heard it before, if you think you can, you can and if you think you can’t you can’t so either get on with it or get over it.
What I mean by this is first determine if you even want to do what it is you are thinking you can’t do – because maybe you don’t even want to do it – so move on. Or get over it and just do it.
It is really quite simple, you do have to do the work, you have to take the action. I wish I could tell you that waving a magic wand would do it but truthfully it’s much more than that. By taking the action you gain so much. In order to have a successful, rewarding, fulfilling life/business, you have to do the work; you have to go through the tough times in order to reach the top. Climbing Mt. Everest wouldn’t be so rewarding if it were easy.
Maybe you aren’t climbing Mt. Everest but it might feel like that and if it does and if you aren’t focusing positively on where you are going, could it be that you don’t even want to be going there? Not everyone wants to climb Mt. Everest, I know I don’t but I do want to be the best I can be at what I’m choosing to do.
What steps will you take to reach your peak? What mindset shifts will you make?

It is so true that when it comes to your business and making money you have to consistently keep trying! I am an energy person and I find that I get burnt out quickly after running a campaign. However, you can’t stop at one campaign you have to start the next one right after the first. BUT you are already working on the second campaign while the first one is going forward! I think when it comes to making money understanding what you are good at and not as well as how your energy is is a defining factor to hiring out so that you can keep your energy clear for manifesting what it is you want; making money in your business. Sometimes we get caught up n “how am I going to pay for this?” However, what will happen is the money will come to pay for that person because your energy is now positively focused on your creative gifts. Thanks for the AHA!
Karen, you make an important point, it is all about energy and if your energy is high or low as well as positive or negative is key. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience and insights.

I like what you bring out today. So many time we get stuck in something that we really wanted to do and then as we go along we noticed that it was not what we expected of that thing, job, business or whatever does not resonate with us anymore. And we just keep hacking at it without any enthusiasm or motivation. We really need to take action and action, like you say can, it can be moving on doing something else that will be rewarding.
Juan, I think we forget that after we say yes, we can say no. We do not have to do it because we said yes. It’s a boundary actually. And when we are doing things without enthusiasm or motivation, it’s not a great place to be for ourselves and for everyone involved.

I get so tired of so-called gurus and leaders telling everyone all you have to do is create a vision board, look at it and dream about it, and it will come to pass. No it won’t. Like you said, you have to first determine what you want, but then you have to do the work and take the action. Knowing what you want and determining the plan on how you are going to achieve it takes action. It truly is a mindset.
Terry, that vision board thing has caused a lot of my clients to experience so much frustration. We really do have to do the work to get things. We have to have the right mindset, confidence in ourselves and put in (as my dad used to say) a little elbow grease (aka do something for it). Using a visual to help pull you forward and to keep you motivated to take action is key, but it isn’t the only thing. =)
