I have 100% free time, I am creating businesses and it feels effortless, I'm not bothered by success I do not yet have, I have relationships and friends as a priority, I can handle the roughest BS you ever get in the business world and can leave EVERYTHING behind at the drop of a hat and start again somewhere new with virtually no preperation if there is a reason, and I do not FEAR poverty or circumstances going wrong.
How did I achieve this?
I used a very unusual strategy.
Here are the components
- Money is like water, it fills the container you have in your own mind, and that container is expanded by ability and kept large by peace of mind. You need to not only adopt a strategy of wealth but a strategy of consistency(and patience while developing skill), otherwise you will swing wildly between wealth and poverty, or be pushed towards excess, which may affect how difficult things seem and cause you a myriad of problems that hinder your ability to be effortless, peaceful, flexible and consistent, which will put extra pressure on excellence and possibly exhaust you before you reach your goal.
tl;dr Money fills a container, being inconsistent, lacking a peaceful attitude will shrink or break that container.
- The depth of poverty, isn't about having NO MONEY, it is about having no ability to IMPACT circumstances. And this centers around a feeling you have deep inside. This feeling will drag you and your bank account to zero as you face it. Every self made person has gripped at the low part of themselves and struggled with it, before they made money. My strategy was not to extricate this feeling, but instead sit with it LONGER than those who fear it, so that without fear, I could then with a calm mind see ahead, and not worry about the rocky roads "pulling me into poverty". Poverty is PARANOIA, and wealth, TRUE WEALTH requires SANITY FIRST (not sanity last).
tl;dr the depths of poverty is the inability to focus, and clear away all that is unhelpful in that focus
- Politics, what money truly is, implications of success and ethics in business.The earlier you fight for ethics the better, because once you let them go, you will never want to pick up the weight again because you will be afraid that it will ruin you. A belief of ETHICS FIRST, combined with SLOW PROCESSES of illumination, gave me time to go into great personal detail into the true implications and impacts of everything imaginable, allowing my understandings to be original and broader than those who singularly focus on $$$. As huge as the task of understanding everything is, I planned for wealth requiring everything being understood through time. A lot of this stuff is irrelevant to making money, but it is relevant in what KIND of business you make and how generous it can be when impacting LIVES.
tl;dr the benefits you bring to business will take time to develop and will require you to be interested in benefits that can only be grasped by seeing a bigger picture over time
- FIGHTING FEAR ITSELF toughens your spirit, and you must find INGENIUS ways to soften yourself(not submission of any sort). I ended up losing my apartment, my bank accounts, all support systems, and had every finger shoved in my face several times. And, each time, I breathed, I didn't yell at myself, I calmly looked THROUGH the situation, and did everything it took to keep integrity and steady my nerves. Over time, my nerve got stronger, and my decisions BOLDER, until I faced losing everything I could afford to lose upon every choice. I made some very BOLD choices, and I suffered incredibly after making them, but did not surrender. I found an ingenius sense of balance within, and matched the chaos with understandings that rivalled it. I thusly became tougher than ordinary peoples BS they slam on you, because they are AFRAID, and because to them you are just another obsticle in their fated to fail path to laziness and b#tchiness never ending.
tl;dr Steadying your nerves will embolden your fight against fear, and fear is what hides knowledge of self, so you will become aware of yourself and situatuions and others as you soften, after fear hardens you
- FINANCIAL INTEGRITY was important to me. I never asked for money or help I did not TRULY need to ease the blocks in the journey. When we start, we believe EVERYTHING requires money, but when you whinge and complain, all you do is vampirically take. To stop this, you have to stop vampirically taking from YOURSELF, you have to give yourself credit, and have faith that you will find a way forwards with integrity. As I did this, people became happier around me financially, and then they started to freely give due to how much value I give them. And then this formed into BUSINESS that freed up my time 100%. My financial INTEGRITY pays the bills, and keeps the vampire sh#t away, and destroyed my FEAR of money. Losing this fear has lead me to look at other peoples FEAR, and to care, and this has leaked into my businesses, not by my giving handouts or slashed prices, but by me creating exceptional customer service and understanding, by impacting how I look at peoples worth, and seeing that if I can give them integrity I can give them freedom.
tl;dr if you look at money like blood, and at yourself as a vampire, you have to stop sucking the villagers dry for every small irritation you feel. Hold back, and you will realise that most of your monetary needs stem from dissatisfaction with yourself. Give yourself credit first before you suck some blood
- I believed that business requires ZERO guess work and a PERSPECTIVE, that enables me to be adaptable. Without this perspective I knew things would fall flat. So I did everything LIKE IT COUNTED. I sucked at this initially, but over time, understanding how much everything COUNTS, led me to very very fierce processes that through time integrated with how I think, and is now effortless (because I understand that things MATTER)
tl;dr do everything like it counts, and regularly do things that matter so you keep honestly on the ball
My unusual strategy saw me be POOR first... Yes
But I have all the riches I need, in the DARKEST circumstances.
And MONEY cannot BUY courage.
I worked on everything MONEY cannot bring me.
This was my unusual strategy.
And I have learnt, that we as people are all so very very lost.
True balance comes from your ROOTS, and then, you can become the largest tree or the smallest, and it matters very little. What does matter, is how much you care about others. Because wealth comes from understanding how we grow.
We idolise morons, and its time you just look back at yourself, ask who you are becoming, and follow what you know is right. Because confidence in the mud, is worth all the money in the world.
Good luck
tl;dr
- consistency and peacefulness makes you resilient
- focus and clear away the unhelpful in order to feel better
- a bigger picture overtime expresses the care you show details every day
- steady your nerves, it will embolden and soften you
- give yourself some credit, ask what you really need
- regularly do things that matter, create an attitude that understands things count
I achieved these mentalities by understanding there is more to business than money and taking an unusual path.
It hurt but it was worth it, because I depend on money less than your average joe, while being many times better at business skills
As a result
I have 100% free time, I am creating businesses and it feels effortless, I'm not bothered by success I do not yet have, I have relationships and friends as a priority, I can handle the roughest BS you ever get in the business world and can leave EVERYTHING behind at the drop of a hat and start again somewhere new with virtually no preperation if there is a reason, and I do not FEAR poverty or circumstances going wrong.
