Money Talk

Written by: Jeanna Gabellini

Article Overview: Conversations about money abound. We usually talk aloud about money when we’ve just had an unexpected bill pop up, a dry season with income or some other painful experience. It’s quite acceptable in American culture to complain and fret to each other about our finances. In fact, others will join in with you to make a fast pity party. It’s almost cool to complain.

Money Talk

Conversations about money abound. We usually talk aloud about money when we’ve just had an unexpected bill pop up, a dry season with income or some other painful experience. It’s quite acceptable in American culture to complain and fret to each other about our finances. In fact, others will join in with you to make a fast pity party. It’s almost cool to complain.

We also like to whisper about the loads of money Joe Blow from Windy City has in his possession. People talk about others who make a lot of money like it’s a dirty thing rather than something to celebrate. A friend of mine left a message the other day how he is consistently bringing in $7000 a day in an industry where most people would think that impossible.

I truly get inspired when I hear of other’s success. Why? It gets me excited to know that if other people can get in alignment with consistently growing their income, joyfully, then I can too.
It’s important to be aware of our conversations with others about money. Remember you amplify any thought when you give it your attention. As Mike Dooley likes to say, “Thoughts become things.” The more attention you give to something, the faster and bigger you bring it into your reality. Complain about not having enough money and it’s a sure fire way to attract more experiences around lack of money.

Most people forget that the Universe doesn’t know what’s real or not. It simply reads how you’re feeling and then gives you more of that experience. Appreciate the money you have and other’s success with it and guess what you’ll get more of? That’s right! Love money, and money will love you! Have fun with it and it’ll bring more joy in to your life.

The conversations in your head about money are just as important as the ones you say aloud. In fact you most likely have most money chats with yourself. Some of them happen without you even knowing. They come as an overall feeling of worry, lack or having to be in abundant action with money. They happen so often that you don’t even notice anymore. It’s great when you feel at peace with money. Keep those thoughts. But those other nasty ones need to be handled so you can begin to create more than enough money in your life.

I even caught myself today having a conversation in my head that startled me. It went something like this: I’m looking forward to sending out the promos to my database about my new visualization CD and a daily journal. Those were fun projects and people will love them but I probably won’t make much money on them. They’re more of a nice thing to offer. I better put my attention on creating products from my Get Your Body Humming tele-class and the business course I’m about to create.

Yikes! I’d already put into motion a huge limiting thought about the income I could create from my new products. I made them from pure joy but that doesn’t mean that they can’t joyfully be a huge addition to my income. I turned that thought around quick. I played the What If Up Game immediately:

What if . . .
• Speed Dial the Universe sold out in the first month?
• Mind Games did the same?
• Every major bookstore in the world carried these products?
• Both products were translated into every major language?
• The next two visualization CDs I create come bundled with Mind Games?
• The people who bought these products loved them so much that they ended up buying other products and referring me to others?
• These customers filled all of my classes to create waitlists?

I’m feeling totally inspired now that all my income will be as easy and fun as these products. The point here is to begin deliberately directing all conversations about money towards an outcome that empowers you. Stop the wondering if you’re going to be able to afford something. Decide that you will have more than enough. Stop looking at your current reality to make your future. Have your financial future get better every month.

All prosperity begins in your head. Action is last. Action must come from the knowing that you are on your way up the financial ladder. Enjoy the climb.

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Ideas on Using Twitter for Business - 1. Build an account and immediate start using Twitter Search to listen for your name, your competitor's names, words that relate to your space. (Listening always comes first.) 2. Add a picture. ( Shel reminds us of this.) We want to see you. 3. Talk to people about THEIR interests, too. I know this doesn't sell more widgets, but it shows us you are human. 4. Point out interesting things in your space, not just about you. 5. Share links to neat things in your community. ( wholefoods does this well). 6. Don't get stuck in the apology loop. Be helpful instead. ( jetblue gives travel tips.) 7. Be wary of always pimping your stuff. Your fans will love it. Others will tune out. 8. Promote your employees outside-of-work stories. ( TheHomeDepot does it well.) 9. Throw in a few humans, like RichardAtDELL, LionelAtDELL, etc. 10. Talk about non-business,
Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest - It's interesting to see what the different motivations are by Age Category. I've noticed this around me: 20 to 29yr olds: Motivator: Money 30 to 39yr olds: Motivator: Success/Ambition 40 to 49yr olds: Motivator: Family comes first 50 to 59yr olds: Motivator: Leaving a legacy i've only gone that far in my analysis. Of course this is a braid generalization but I find that it helps direct my marketing to individuals in different age brackets. The product/service can be the same but the Marketing message (Benefit Statement) to a 20 year will revolve around "Money" vs. a 30-something would be on their "Self Image"
