Long Run Abundance

I've learned a lot about abundance through lessons learned in my business. As you've all heard, even if you don't own your own business you need to outsource the tasks that aren't your strength or are time hogs. This allows you to do what you do best and therefore attract more money. Sometimes it can be a challenge to pay someone else when the money is not flowing as abundantly as you'd like. Why pay someone else when you can do it yourself for free? Because if you continue to always do things to save money you are discounting the fact that you can deliberately create more money by each choice you make.

If you choose to do things in a way that makes you happy you are guaranteed to be more attractive to all things that you desire. Let's make this more real with some examples. For many years I wanted a purifying system on my sink. I finally got one but then sold my house and moved into a rental. Rather than shell out some money to get a new one installed, I decided I'd wait until I bought my next house. I happened to love the house and had no plans of moving anytime soon.

Everyday, I'd fill my Brita pitcher on the sink with water. This process was more of a nuisance then you can imagine. I was waiting two or three times during each fill up for the water to filter to the bottom and make room for me to add more water. On top of that, I'd fill the pitcher several times a day. Do you know how much time and irritation I would've saved if I'd just bought the water filtration system when I moved in?

Now, I'm not advocating buying the very best of everything or outsourcing all sorts of tasks when the money you'd spend is going to cause you heart failure. However, with some solid intentions before you make the choice to go with your heart or your wallet, you can actually blend both and end up with more abundance of time, money and joy!

My mother watches my now eight-month-old son, Lucky, three to four days a week. It's a dream come true because she is one of my dearest friends, she is wildly in love with Lucky, he gets to bond with her and there is no cost. On the flip side, my mom is retired and loves to travel as much as me. When she leaves on long trips that means I have to find childcare. This new expense in my life sparked resistance. I remember getting paid a dollar an hour when I babysat so the price increase activated my "lack" button.

At first I scheduled Lucky's new caregiver only during the hours and days I had appointments, trying to save some cash. I ended up feeling rushed and ultimately more stressed. What was my peace of mind worth? Everything. I decided I would hire her for even more hours than my mom spent here. This would allow me to attract more abundance in the long run and keep me happy in the moment. Since Lucky has been born I work less hours and make more profits than I ever had prior.

Now, for those of you thinking, "Yeah, but Jeanna can afford it." Affording something is a choice. My finances looked very tight on paper at the time. While my income was going up, I also had some massive (at least in my mind ;-) unexpected expenses and a mate who was taking a hard hit in his construction business. It's all about perception and the way that you choose to respond to your situation. I continually made the intention that my profits would continue to go up and all expenses would be paid on time without dipping into my savings. And that intention became my reality every time I chose it. Make it yours.

Re: Brag: 100 Confirmed email opt-ins - I'm very impressed with what I've read. I'm pretty new to this sort of thing and so far I'm not getting too many people signing up - I get about 60 hits a day on my web for about 30 visits but I don't get new email opt-ins- ony 5 in the last 3 months. Obviously there's something I could be doing but ain't or there's something I am doing but shouldn't. Suggestions would be welcomed. I update my web weekly and update my blog twice a week and have been posting articles on Evan Carmichael now for 5 weeks. Doug Long
Long posts are fixed! - Alright! We have updated the sidebar on the homepage and the inside pages to show all forum posts now that have a title (those without a title are not shown so if you want it to show up make sure you have a title!) Long posts are also cut off after a certain number of characters and a ... is added afterwards. Thanks again for the great suggestions everyone!
Re: How do you budget your life? - I agree that the Tithe 10% and Personal Long Term Savings 10% have been the most consistent percentages for me over the years. The Richest Man in Babylon is a book that really helps nail that point. there's something subconcious about knowing that you're not just working to pay the bills. You're actually creating a long term quality lifestyle and significant retirement for you and your family. The other percentages have shifted over the years but those number have been constant.
Re: Can you really get google ads for free? - hi.. well, Long sales letters are good and short sales letters are equally good as long as the products are of good quality.
