8 Ways Entrepreneurs Can Use Feng Shui for More Business

Kathryn Weber — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 17:57:29 +0000

One of the greatest rewards of being an entrepreneur is the ability to call the shots in your business. But, that’s also one of the greatest risks – you’re responsible for all the decisions.

Fortunately, with feng shui, you can use the principles of this ancient technique to help you draw more clients to you, create a harmonious business that attracts business, and builds a financial foundation for your life that gives you more control, greater freedom and feeling of personal achievement.

But how can you put feng shui to work as an entrepreneur? I’ve put together a list of eight ways that feng shui can help generate more flow – and that means more success and more sales for you.

1. Put money first.

When it comes to your business, money should always come first. Why? Well, because you’re in business. Emails can wait, filing can wait, but money can’t.

Write your bills every Monday and every day ask yourself if the activities you’re doing are money-generating. Busy doesn’t always equal financially productive – so do those things that are and delegate the busy work to someone else.

2. Water is wealth.

Make sure you are surrounded by financial energy and that energy’s element is water. Keep a clear, running and full fountain in your office to help keep you relaxed and stimulate business opportunities. North, the business opportunity sector, is also the direction associated with water. Adding metal here will also stimulate water energy – and that stimulates business and money from your business.

3. Have a vision.

What is your symbol of success? If you want to be the world’s best cookbook writer, then wrap some cookbooks in a cover with your name on it. Seeing is believing. Find a symbol that is meaningful for you and keep it where you can prominently see it while you work. Pick a symbol, any symbol and keep it in front of you.

4. Feng shui your website.

Yes, feng shui can even be applied to bytes and pixels! I often see businesses that have websites whose colors conflict, such as red and silver, green and beige, or green and yellow. These are color combinations that fatigue visitors – meaning the website is less sticky and more likely to be abandoned and with fewer repeat visitors.

That’s because these color combinations make your website work against itself – and that gets you nowhere. Select feng shui compatible color combinations. This would include blue, black, and white or yellow, purple, and red, or green, black, and blue. Not sure about your site? Call me for a feng shui assessment of your website to check your color combinations.

5. Open communication.

Sales depend on making it as easy as possible for the customer to reach you. Get yourself a 1-800 number, a fax number, and a land-line if you’re in business. Interestingly, when I moved from a cell phone as my primary business phone and got all the other lines installed, I began receiving many more calls. Think of it this way: no talk, no sales; more talk, more sales!

6. Get more clients.

Many “solopreneurs” have a poor filing system (if any). Make sure you have a file cabinet with a specified drawer just for client files — and keep your clients in red folders; this energizes the client and keeps them in contact with you (read: repeat customer!).

When you want more clients, have three blank folders on your desk at all times, just ready for the next one. Also, get a label maker and make a label for each new customer. The more respect you give to your customer files, the more customers you’ll have.

7. Beauty pays you.

If you’re a work at home entrepreneur, chances are you may have a less-than-inspiring work area. Invest in your office and make it attractive, organized, and functional. Having a beautiful work space is motivating and encourages creativity.

When you are surrounded by beauty and inspiring views, objects, or artwork, you are more likely to think creatively, come up with new approaches to your business, and be more productive – and that makes you more money!

8. Use the Power of One.

One is the number of opportunity and money from business in feng shui. There is probably one thing that you could do to instantly make a difference in your business. What is it? For some, it would be to create that first product, for others it would mean publishing your book, and for others it might be making sales calls. But, chances are you know the one thing that’s standing in the way of your success. Get to work on just that one thing.

You know what it is.

Do it now and put it ahead of everything else.

Ho Tai Happiness – Feng Shui’s Buddha of Wealth and Joy

Kathryn Weber — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 15:24:57 +0000

One of feng shui’s and China’s most loved symbols is the Ho Tai Buddha. Most people know Ho Tai as the Buddha of Wealth or as the Laughing Buddha. His presence in homes and businesses brings joy and prosperity.

To the Chinese, the seat of the soul is in the stomach, so the Ho Tai Buddha’s stomach is large and round to symbolize his heavenly stature and to represent fullness and abundance.

The Ho Tai Buddha reminds us that good things come to happy, joyful people and that prosperity is also a sign of joyfulness. Keeping the Ho Tai Buddha lifts the whole household or business with his happy presence.

The Ho Tai Buddha lived over one thousand years ago. He was a happy fellow and carried a sack in which he carried candy for children and rice seed for planting. Because of this, he is associated with wealth and happiness and his statues often show him holding a bag. With his jolly nature, he is revered for his wealth-giving and joyful countenance, but also for his ability to take your worries from you.

You might say that the Ho Tai Buddha was the original Santa Claus and is worshipped as the first of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune in Japan. The Ho Tai Buddha can often be found in paintings and in figures surrounded by as many as 100 children. Because of his ability to attract children, he can even positively influence fertility and many couples place a picture or statues of the Ho Tai when they are anxious to conceive!

Display the Ho Tai when you need a dose of happiness, when you want to create greater abundance, and when you need a friend to give your troubles to, or even when you’re ready to start a family.

Ho Tai Brings Happiness, Wealth and Good Fortune

Worried about money?

Stop worrying and start relaxing. Displaying the relaxed and happy Ho Tai Buddha at your desk, in your business, or the entrance to your home can help dissolve money worries and help you to be in the “receiving mode” for more prosperity!

Ho Tai helps you get ahead at work.

If you are tense about making money on the job, placing a small Ho Tai Buddha on your desk will help stimulate your financial luck associated with your career. Select one with a gold ingot. Chinese gold ingots are shaped like a ship and displaying them promotes prosperity luck. This large Ho Tai Buddha is sitting on a large gold ingot and holding a Ru Yi (a symbol of authority) in his left hand, denotes his comfort with his position and job and easy prosperity.

Dispel bad luck.

The Ho Tai Buddha is also used as a talisman. Besides inspiring happiness and abundance, the Ho Tai Buddha also wards off negativity, misfortune, and bad luck. Had your share of bad luck? Keep the Ho Tai close at hand to stop negativity and keep bad luck at bay.

Happiness draws more happiness.

It’s true. You know that one person who walks into the room and instantly lifts everyone up with their cheerful attitude. Displaying the Ho Tai Buddha at the entrance to your home or business is a way to instantly lift the HQ (happiness quotient) at your home and business and that draws blessings to your work and home.

Give your sadness to Ho Tai.

Legend says that the sack the Ho Tai carries is full of riches, wealth, and candy, but others say he carries a sack to carry your sadness and worries away. Give your worries to the Ho Tai to lift your personal chi and attract more good fortune.

Creating Wealth Chi – Energizing your home with wealth symbols

Kathryn Weber — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:55:57 +0000

Our homes, like our dreams, speak in symbols. The art, the symbols, shapes, and colors we surround ourselves with at home tells a story of our lives. Mine speaks to a love of travel and does so in the artwork that I’ve collected from around the world. It’s important that we place objects and items in our house that inspire and motivate us.

We need items that make us feel good and help us move forward in life and lift up our energy. Clutter has way of pressing down that energy. When we fill our homes with excess stuff we have to ask ourselves what is it we are avoiding.

Open space can be intimidating and clutter fills space. Keeping excess stuff, especially collections, puts distance between us and our feelings or keeps us from intimate relationships because things can quickly and rapidly take the place of people — and even keep us from ourselves. In the process of removing the excess stuff in your life, you don’t just find space, you’ll find yourself.

It’s good feng shui to use auspicious symbols and enhancers around your home or office. This is a great way to lift the energy of your home and your life. But you must have the space for it first. If you place a beautiful symbol in your home in the midst of clutter and excess, you will miss the effect and the ability of the symbol to work its magic for you.

As I write this, I am sitting on the balcony of my home. What strikes me is that the garden beyond my balcony is a mix of open spaces and gardens, with broad lawns and curving gardens that allow energy to gather and flow. The waterfall flows and water gurgles in the pool.

It’s because of the open, neat, and restrained landscape that the cascading water of the pool becomes more prominent. When you clear the excess from your home, any symbols and beautiful elements you place there will become not only more noticeable but more potent in your life.

Add symbols for wealth and prosperity around your home and garden. When your whole space is energized, it becomes magnetic to wealth.

Use these 6 ideas for your home

1. Add a water source
Water is vital for attracting and stimulating wealth. Even a simple urn with a pump can bring beautiful, positive “sheng chi” — the kind of chi that attracts prosperity to a home. (Psst…You can see two of my water enhancers in my blog.)

2. Look for symbols to add to your entrance
My own front door has a mat that evokes the mystic knot — a symbol of enduring love, wealth and abundant opportunities. This simple mat was bought at Lowe’s for $10 — but the opportunities it’s brought have been worth much, much more!

3. Use Chinese coins.
These are the round coins with the square hole in the middle and Chinese script on one side. Place these coins in your business or money files, tape them to a phone and carry them in your purse or wallet. Place an auspicious number of coins under your mattress to stimulate wealth and let you sleep on top of wealth energy! Use your imagination to use these, just make sure you put the Chinese script side up…not the underside… and tie them with red ribbon to “activate” them.

4. Place water symbols prominently
Water equals wealth. You’ve heard me say that over and over. Place pictures of water, ships, and fish in important areas. Avoid placing any water elements in bedrooms, though. Pictures of sailing ships at the entrance to your office or home (with the ships appearing to sail into the room) are especially good harbingers of good career and money news!

5. Dress up
Dressing in a more elegant and refined way gets you better treatment at stores, airports, hotels, restaurants — and treated like a person of prominence. Start being — and looking — like what you aspire to! Here’s the great thing — you just have to look the part. You don’t have to spend a wad on designer duds. As long as your look says “prosperous” that’s all that matters.

6. Tap the phoenix
The phoenix bird brings wonderful opportunities as it is the “God of the Four Winds.” The phoenix will magnify your potential for success and draw others to you who can see your magnificence — and that attracts prosperity. Place the phoenix or other beautiful bird (rooster, peacock) on the south corner of your desk or in your office or living room, or place a small boulder out the front of your house to resemble a footstool — this taps the phoenix celestial guardian of your home and raises your good name and brings more opportunities to you.

Grant Your Wish Technique

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 20:53:40 +0000

When you are working toward a goal, such as to sell your house or finalize your divorce, you don’t want to have to wait. Or, when you have a sincere desire, you want to find a way to bringing your desire to fruition. This technique was shared with me and it’s proven to be a valuable way to improve your odds of success! Good luck to you on your endeavor.There are many ways in which you can use this technique. Here are a few suggestions on ways to use it:

1. If somebody is looking for a job: place a resume or C.V. in a red or purple folder.

2. If sombody’s visa is not coming through: then place a copy of your passport and/or travel papers in a red or purple folder.

3. If somebody’s divorce is not coming through: then place that paper – or write your wish on a piece of paper and place it in the red or purple folder.

4. Or if somebody is facing legal problems: place papers in a red or purple folder.

5. Bankruptcy: place papers in a red or purple folder.

6. Too many bills to pay: write your wish that you receive funds to pay your bills.

7. House to sell: place house papers in a red or purple folder.

Other ideas: love letters, book or business proposals, manuscripts, school papers, etc., into a red or purple folder.

After preparing the folder you should place a pair of feng shui flutes or simple pieces of bamboo and tie them with a black and green ribbon. Place the flutes on the documents and place on a table on the right side of the main door. Then watch and you will see how things move fast and your wishes come true!

More Sex Equals More Money? How Feng Shui Ties Romance and Wealth Together

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:19:27 +0000

When Napoleon Hill wrote “Think and Grow Rich” he concluded that a very important aspect in the process of gaining wealth was tied to sex. He said that “The emotion of sex contains the secret of creative ability.” This “seat of power” and the ability to create is uniquely tied to feng shui.What’s especially interesting about sex and money in feng shui is that the wealth sector is also associated with the number four. Four is the number associated with romance and sex, academic achievement, sales, and writing. So, you could say that the number four is associated with creation and generation.

The problem with sex is that as you age, sexual activity lessens and not just because of lack of interest, although that certainly does happen, but because fatigue, work, stress, child-rearing and household duties get in the way.

Feng shui teaches that energy flows where energy goes. A German study confirms this. In a study of 32,000 couples, many who stopped having sex reported that the trend of little or no sex only became worse. In other words, less sex leads to even less or no sex.

But sex is good. We need to have sex

Making love makes us happy and content, relieves physical tension in all parts of the body (not just you-know-where) and is an important part of a committed relationship. Think about making love with your partner and think about how it feels to have a wad cash. Both make you smile. See the link? Interestingly, some of the times that I have been the most cash-strapped I also had less love and when the money was good so was the canoodling.

But is all sex good? No

The committed, loving type is what we’re after. This is the basis of good feng shui and good love – and is where the money-making potential resides. Promiscuity never makes you feel better, and it usually makes you feel worse.

What if you’re lacking a partner? Rather than going trolling in a trench coat to bars and taking the walk of shame in the morning that makes you feel terrible (and takes your money-making energy with it), make a romantic date with yourself. (No, not that way, but hey, if you wanna, I won’t judge you).

Instead, treat yourself to some luxurious lingerie, nice sheets, scented candle, read a romance novel or watch a romantic move with some wine. Just… treat yourself nice. You’ll love yourself for it.

If you do have a partner and your love life needs a jump start, follow this checklist to improve your love life and start the creative flow in the bedroom — and in your pocketbook!

___Schedule sex each week. That’s right, put it on the calendar. Rather than lacking spontaneity, scheduling intimate time together means that your love (and your cash) is important. Honor your creative and generating abilities – and your partnership – by making time for sex and romance.

___Have fun. Try a game, go “parking” in the garage, do a strip-tease. Don’t do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, but don’t hide under the covers either! Fun is good feng shui.

____Seek sensuality. Being sensual and romantic is extremely beneficial for a relationship rather than cheap, nasty, and wham-bam (well, unless that’s what you need). Get some great-feeling new sheets for your bed. Buy a soft and nubby throw for the bed or maybe one of those awesome fur throws. Get your skin used to being feeling wonderful textures. Get a body polish (my favorite!) at your local spa and a massage afterwards. Your skin will feel like silk – to you and to your honey.

___Get hormones. OK, girls: let’s face it, the angry, witchy wife is nobody’s friend and will scare off even the most hard-up husband. If you would rather clean your toenails than have sex, something is wrong. Get to your GYN and get some hormones or some help — you don’t have to retire to a convent because your libido is low.

___Hold your horses. OK, guys: let’s face it, you’re always ready no matter what. Well, we aren’t. If you’re a guy and you’re reading this, I’m going to tell you what your sweetie won’t. No woman likes to show interest and then you go from 0 to 120 MPH in an instant. Slow down, talk to her, touch her and then see what happens.

___Make a date for no sex. Sounds boring, right? Well, make a date for the bedroom and do anything but have sex. I guarantee you won’t be able to keep your hands off each other. Works like a charm and gets everybody fired up.

Revitalizing love with feng shui

___Remove pictures of everyone except the couple in the room – especially the kids.
___Remove all work objects (computers, phones, piles of paper)
___Make sure your bed is up to the task and doesn’t squeak, creak, or feel like it will break with a little activity
___Place a happy photo of the two of you in the bedroom
___Get rid of any and all plants or flowers – these kill romance
___Have two bedside tables with matching lamps. You need bedroom parity for both partners.

The Financial Feng Shui of Your Looks–How Your Looks Affect Your Wealth

Kathryn Weber — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 23:01:50 +0000

When we see attractive people it’s hard not to think that their looks can’t help but make the road of life smoother and easier for them. But that’s not always so.

Attractive, and, yes, beautiful people can be just as prone to making dumb mistakes and poor choices as anyone else. Perhaps it’s their beauty that betrays them and makes people prey upon them or they suffer from narcissism. But what really makes one beautiful – and do our looks affect our wealth?

To the Chinese way of thinking that answer is yes. The Chinese developed an ancient art called face reading and have categorized eyes, noses, foreheads, even moles and pimples to be an indicator of whether we are wealthy or plagued with financial problems.
The following explains some of the typical facial features and what they mean for your prosperity.

Skin quality affects wealth. Your skin should have a healthy glow about it and a moist and fleshy appearance. If it’s dry and flaky, you’ll tend toward bad financial luck. If the face is oily, there is a tendency to lose money. Facial skin should look fresh and glowing, moist and with a hint of red color.

Outward appearance attracts wealth. You needn’t be a super-model to attract greater prosperity. Merely by holding your face with a pleasant and alert look, the response from others is more positive and it attracts good luck to you. Dour-looking people attract dour situations and circumstances, including financial problems. So change your luck just by planting a smile on your puss.

Moles have meaning. There are many hidden meanings to moles in the Chinese view. Typically facial moles are not considered good luck, especially if they are dark or black-colored. Red moles are thought to bring good fortune, however. Moles on the forehead bring power and authority and those on the mouth bring prosperity and speaking skill. Moles on the center line of the face, nose, or cheeks bring lost opportunity and negative circumstances. Surgical removal may be necessary.

Facial flaws draw problems. No one is endowed with a perfect face, but when your face has flaws, such as extremely dark circles under the eyes (which can cause problems with children) and make you look tired, it can affect people’s perceptions of you – and your perception of yourself.

In the Western view, certain locations of moles can look witchy and will cause people to respond to you negatively. Many times these areas can be corrected by good skin care, clever use of make-up, or even simple plastic surgery. If you have heard comments about your looks, perhaps it’s affecting your outlook on life and maybe even your pocketbook. Consider your options and determine if this is something you’d like to improve.

Pimples foretell expenses. When pimples arise it seems it’s at the point of something important such as a meeting or important interview, doesn’t it? Pimples are thought to be indicators of expenses, however, rather than embarrassment.

When a pimple arises on the nose, it will cause a big expense within two weeks. If the pimple is on the side of the nose, then the expense is unexpected. If it’s on the top, then this is a good expense such as a new car or furniture. Pimples on the forehead will give you car and travel problems.

A nose for wealth. Many Chinese follow the nose for indicating your potential for wealth luck. A large nose often indicates wealth. Large nostrils that can be seen when looking straight on indicate loss of wealth. Skinny, pinched noses often mean loss of wealth, i.e., Michael Jackson.

Locate your facial wealth palaces. There are two locations that indicate wealth on the face: the nose and the forehead. The forehead represents your authority and position and the nose represents your actual earnings. When the forehead and the nose are fleshy and well-proportioned, that indicates wealth. When your nose or forehead are small, bony, and thin-skinned, it indicates lack of wealth.

Studies have shown that attractive people earn more. Attractive people are characterized as physically beautiful, tall, and at a healthy weight. One study estimated attractive people earned more than 10% than their plainer counterparts, indicating how much looks count. Even so, the plainest person is always made more beautiful by a vibrant, happy countenance. So put your “best face” forward – and you might change your money luck!

Fun Shui — Feng Shui Symbols and Activities Bring Happiness, Success, and Wealth

Kathryn Weber — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 02:04:42 +0000

Some of the best feng shui isn’t all about turtles and fountains, mountains and facing directions. It’s about fun. Good feng shui can change to great feng shui with the addition of fun, enjoyment, festivities and happy times. That’s because the vibrations of laughter and enjoyment permeate our surroundings and if you home is the location for happy gatherings full of festive people, then you’ve done a lot toward making your feng shui better – and that changes your outlook, your happiness, and your bottom line, too!

Most truly wealthy people have lots of fun and enjoyment in life – most likely because they can afford it. But, that’s not the only reason why. Every time we have pleasant and enjoyable times in our house, we build on happiness energy. This kind of energy creates excellent sheng chi that raises our energy level and that attracts prosperity and business and financial opportunities. Try these tips for increasing your “fun” shui.

Have fun at home.
Make your home party central. By inviting guests and enjoying pleasant conversation and good times, you do a lot to lift the energy of your home. Even simple steps like playing games with your family fill your home with laughter. Or, try making a family meal in the formal dining room on Saturday or Sunday nights a weekly treat. All of these things can raise your chi and the chi of your home.

Liven up yourself.
A friend of mine once joked that she had enough black clothes in her closet to outfit eight women for a funeral. Bring extra energy to yourself and lift your personal chi by wearing bright and vivid colors. The colors imbue us with their energy. On days I want to be extra productive and energetic, I wear brown slacks (big wood) with a red shirt (fire) because big wood makes a big fire! Money on your mind? Wear black pants and a green shirt. Want to get along with everyone and inspire happiness? Pair beige or gold pants with a red shirt.

Bring in new energy.
New objects for the home brings new energy to your home. A new object for yourself re-energizes you. Or, try doing something new. Explore a nearby city, go to a new restaurant, do something you’ve always wanted to do or try. New energy is so important. It keeps our homes and us revitalized and energetic. Keeping ourselves surrounded by new energy helps keep our energy level high and looking forward in an expectantly positive outlook – and that draws more love, money, and happiness to us.

Figure out what makes you happy.
If a bouncy new kitten makes you break out in a smile, why not go to your local shelter and adopt a new cat? It’s important that we make choices that make us happy. Sometimes the hard part is figuring out what that is that makes us happy. Make a list of ten things that make you happy – whether that’s hot chocolate in the morning or a cute figurine on your desk. If you see something you really love, and I mean really love, buy it. There is no better feng shui than being surrounded by things you really, truly love and enjoy.

Symbolize happiness.
Once you know what happiness looks like to you, find a symbol for it. Maybe that symbol is a word, a figurine (I just love lucky cats!), or something you have already. One important symbol for happiness in feng shui is Buddha. A fat, happy Buddha often carries a bag in one hand or over his shoulder or sits on a bag. This symbolizes his carrying your burdens and worries. For this reason, I keep one on my desk to cheer me with his chipper countenance.

Another symbol of happiness is the lucky cat. The darling cats bring happiness energy to the cash registers of many Asian businesses – and money. I have a small collection of them myself. Annual animals are also another harbinger of happiness. Each year, small figures of the animal of the year are made and sold in Asian gifts shops. Many of them are happy and smiling. Last year I bought a smiling rat and this year I have a happy ox! Find one that appeals to you and makes you happy.

9 Ways to Stimulate Wealth Using Chinese Coins

Kathryn Weber — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:27:12 +0000

Wherever you go in Hong Kong, you see Chinese symbols of wealth and money. The ubiquitous symbol you see most often is the lucky Chinese coin. These coins are round with a square hole in the center. They represent both heaven (the circle) and earth (the square).

In Asia, the really old coins are the most highly regarded and valued. These good fortune coins adorn other symbols as well. You will almost always see a money frog sitting on a pile of coins. The yearly animal will also be shown sitting on a pile of lucky, or good fortune, Chinese Coins.

Good fortune coins come in many varieties. Some have trigrams and animal signs on them. Others will have trigrams and mantras. The most common coins are the ones with a dragon and phoenix on one side and Chinese characters on the other side. The coins are often printed with two meanings, either “your wealth has arrived” or “your luck has arrived.” I don’t know about you, but this sounds pretty great either way!

There are a multitude of ways to use the coins as feng shui wealth enhancers around your home or business. Tie them in groups of three, six, and nine with red ribbon to activate them with a spark of energy. Always place them with the Chinese character side up. Next, use the ideas below to activate your home, office, and business for prosperity with these lucky coins.

1. Walk on gold.
Make walking into your home an act of prosperity by placing lucky coins under a welcome mat or carpet inside the entrance to your home. Replacing your carpets? Scatter coins all over the floor under your new carpeting!

2. Talking money.
Place coins under your work phone or tape them to the back of your phone or cell phone.

3. Draw money to your pocketbook.
Carry the three-tied coins in your wallet, checkbook, or purse to activate wealth and draw wealth to you.

4. Energize your investment records and account books.

Your Thoughts About Money That Hurt Your Ability to Manifest Wealth

Kathryn Weber — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:53:39 +0000

Below are some of the commonly held beliefs about money. We’ve all had one or more of these thoughts, so don’t censor yourself as you look at them. Ask yourself if any of these thoughts are holding YOU back? Check all that apply.
__I’m not worthy of wealth

__My family isn’t a “rich” family

__Money is not spiritual

__I’ll probably just fail anyway

__But we can’t afford nice things

__Rich people are greedy and dishonest

__If I’m successful, my friends will be jealous and stop liking me

__I’m no better than my parents, so I shouldn’t make more then they did

__I might forget what’s truly important and not like myself if I were rich

__Money is the root of all evil

__My family isn’t a “rich” family

__No one I know is wealthy

__Being wealthy is a dream

__Rich people invest their money, not average people

__I will never have enough money

__Wealthy people are liars

__No one in my family is rich

__Women can’t be rich and be good mothers

__Money is hard to make

__I can’t enjoy money

__Money is for saving, not enjoying

__If I live long enough, I might enjoy some of my money

__My family wouldn’t like me if I were successful

__My spouse wouldn’t support me if I became wealthy and successful

__I feel guilty having more than others

Now, what are you going to *choose*to believe?

You don’t have to follow the old paradigm anymore. Just admitting that you have these beliefs is helpful. But, if you find yourself resenting someone in a Mercedes (rich people aren’t nice) or making negative statements about money (I guess I’m just like the other Smiths and can’t save money), stop and correct yourself.

Re-channel your negative thoughts and energy positively. Start blessing your bills, your home, your savings account and anything related to money. If you can’t be positive about money, then at least be neutral about it. You’ll begin to shift your personal energy — and if you combine this with making changes around your house — you’ll give yourself extra oomph. By moving both at the same time, you will effectively compound the energy and create more monetary momentum.

Lastly, what is your big “WHY”? This is the reason you would like more wealth. Having a good reason for money is primary. Wanting more money is secondary. Write out the THREE most important reasons you want to create wealth for yourself.
