Living Large When Your Pocketbook Isn't

Do you have champagne tastes and a beer budget? Do you dream of living large but your finances make you live small? There are secrets to live large even when you think you can't and...by living large, you can attract more of the larger things in life.

By now, most of you have heard of The Law of Attraction. Without getting into too much detail, you know that what you focus on expands.

Therefore, if you want the LARGE LIFE, you need to add some things to your current life to put you in alignment with what you want.

If you want to make a million dollars and have your plans in place but your heart isn't there or you feel guilty for wanting, you won't attract what you want. However, you can do this one simple thing to get the universal ball rolling...

The secret is this - TREAT YOURSELF. It's that simple - if you treat yourself and think you're worth it, you'll have more opportunities to treat yourself even more.

I treated my hubby and I to a five star hotel and a bottle of Dom Perrignon because that's what I want to see more of in my life. I kept the fancy Dom Perrignon box in my office so it can remind me of what I can look forward to attracting.

What do you do if you can't afford a five star hotel and fancy champagne? Think rich but do it afordably. Here are some ways:

1. Book a spa treatment: once a month book a fancy treatment to show you deserve it.
2. Buy the best of a food: top quality champagne, fine steaks, lobster, treat yourself to a fancy food.
3. Take a day off: take a day and do something fun and frivilous just for you.
4. Book a vacation: escape the duldrums and have some fun. (you can book a budget holiday)
5. Test drive a new car: Take a spin in a car you'd love, take a picture of yourself in it and imagine what it would take to make your dream car be in your life.
6. Real Estate: check out the multi-million dollar homes and estates. Figure out what features you like about the places. Is it space, the architecture, privacy, etc?
7. Magazines: subscribe or buy magazines that focus on things you desire. ex. a racecar, a horse, etc.
8. A Vision Board: get pictures, words and images that reflect what you want in your life. Cut and paste them to a board and study it every day.

Lastly, and most importantly, hang out with people who live the life you'd like to have. Since experts say your income is the average of the five people you hang out with most, you might like to "up" your ante and network with new and exciting people.

Re: What Do you Prefer More - Time or Money - Living the moment. I am living the moment since 4 years ago, after the docs found cancer. They removed it, of course, and since then I just do what i want. Jumping from an airplane was one thing, that was great. Now I want to fly to the moon. I need money for that.
Re: How does an entrepreneur stay energized? - Hi there, This subject is not only for entrepreneurs. Everybody can benefit from this, that is the reason why 'Healthy Living and Eating' is a multi billion Dollar business. Often I smile, because so much is written about it. So many different business are blooming and doing well. Whilst there is so much knowledge and opportunity to be healthy and well, the need is still growing. There is so much that could be said. The cheapest form of energy is gained by a good sleep.
Inspiration for Logos - When a Buddhist looks at a Tibetan flag one of the first thing that pops in their mind is admiration respect. After assimilating that they keep thinking and repression might come next. Living as part of a communist nation may bring lots of feelings. Chastity, prayer, humility all these virtues are all mixed. When you want a client to think of your Logo may this not be an example of what he thinks. Let its all be positive and with hope of something better coming.
Re: Do you have an affinity to making money??? - Hi ideasuniversity, I think we all enjoy making money and hopefully using it wisely, LOL. It is interesting to see that you are getting involved with Aloe Vera products as these seem to have remarkable advantages for health and wellbeing for many people. I almost became involved here a few years back with a company which was called something like Forever Living products who seemed to be very active but ultimately I didn’t follow it up but I can understand your enthusiasm for the products as you can get anything from Aloe Vera toothpaste up over, the range of products is incredible, best of luck with your efforts, regards, Mal.
Re: What is your biggest challenge? Today? - [quote="GT Bulmer":10b1rb6o]sounds like keeping one foot on the dock and one in the boat, doesn't it?) I've had suggestions of interest from other high profile potential clients but I have chosen not to pursue them at this time.[/quote:10b1rb6o] Hi GT, Who knows, perhaps you'll need to take that leap of faith and "burn your bridges" (of escape/going back) like Dale Carnegie suggests in "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" to get to the next level and reach your income goal. Complacency and comfort can be death.
