WARNING: This is an extremely practical post. In the future we will write about where true Wealth comes from, and what it is, on a high level (the highest). Today we’re just tackling the actionable steps that you can begin taking NOW so that you see your bank account higher at the end of the next 30 days. 

With that in mind, let’s begin! 

Money follows intention, just as sure as energy follows attention.

What is your intention with money?

If your current intention for money is “Money is tight right now” or “There’s no way I’m going to be able to pay this bill” then your money will follow that intention.

But what if your intention for your money is “My income is constantly increasing, over and above my immediate needs, from multiple sources, on a continuous basis?”

You don’t want to ignore reality. The point is not to put your fingers in your ears and sing, “La-La-La, I’m a millionaire!” and refuse to pay your bills. That’s not respectful of money.

The point is to refuse to be limited by what you can see in front of your face. If you accept the limitations of your present income, then you’ll never dare to take the actions that will get you a new, bigger income.

You have to imagine before it becomes a reality.

You need to think in the realm of possibility, not affordability. 

Not, “I can’t afford this.”

But, “How can I afford this?”

Take Richard Branson. The crazy bugger started an airline. Most people — even very wealthy business people — would have said, “There’s absolutely no way I want to put up the massive capital necessary to start an airline.”

Richard thought, “How can I start an airline without needing all that capital?”

And so he started Virgin by leasing a plane from Boeing, with the stipulation that he could give the plane back if things didn’t work out.

That’s thinking possibility.

If you want to start making money today, start looking for ways you can help others today.

Create value for others. Every day, write down 10 ideas on how you can create more and more value.

Then write down 20 ideas about how you can create that much value for MORE and MORE people.

Then, take action to bring those ideas into the real world.

Take 10x more action than you initially think you’ll need to take.

That will get you there. I promise.

On a more granular level, here’s the simple, step-by-step process that I have used to solve my money worries, forever:

1. Imagine the financial condition you want, in every detail. Leave nothing out.
2. Feel gratitude for receiving the conditions that you want. (Don’t worry about the fact that these conditions don’t seem to exist yet in your present. “Time” as such is non-linear and non-local. Everything has already happened, in one multiverse or the next, so it’s okay to feel gratitude right now.) Enhance your gratitude with details and imagination.
3. Focus only on the good things that come to you in your life, and continually give thanks to them. Show out the door any negative thoughts or words. Refuse to complain or be negative anymore. Shut yourself off from negative people or complainers. Don’t watch TV. Don’t read mainstream news.
4. Take powerful and positive action in the present. Refuse to sit idly by. Instead, go out into the world and do good works. Give your gift, as best you can. Seek to serve others. Solve problems. Help those in need. Make yourself useful. Create value, then create more value, then create more value for more people. Keep duplicating yourself. 
5. Go above and beyond. When someone asks you for a hand, give them both your hands. When a man asks for a quarter, give him a dollar. When a man asks for a coat, give him a scarf too. Rather than just doing your job, do your job and help someone else do their job better, too. Teach others what you know. 
6. Take each action knowing with certainty that it is bringing your desired future conditions closer. Keep this certainty close in your mind at all times, all through the day. Don’t do any action but with the knowledge that it is moving you closer to your goal – and moving your goals closer to you.
7. Act with patience. Never hurry; hurry is a competitive concept, and we are engaging the creative mind. We are not trying to get something that someone else has, we are creating wholly new for ourselves. Remember, infinite patience brings immediate results. Your world can change in the twinkling of an eye. Believe in miracles.
8. Give more life to all, less to none. Give everyone more in use value than they give you in cash value. Know that you are getting rich, and you are causing others to get rich as well. Each interaction or transaction that you take part in will benefit the other person and cause the upliftment of their body, mind, and soul. Hold this certainty in your mind as well each day.

This is the exact technique I have used time and again to get paid (where paid = 4-figure checks arriving in the mail).

It’s the exact technique I used to build a thriving coaching business, rather than being a “starving coach” like the 80% of “professional coaches” who make less than $20,000 per year.

This is a process that never fails. It is scientific in the results it produces, so long as you follow each step exactly. If you do, you’ll soon experience the financial rewards you’ve imagined for yourself.

There is no “Secret” or mysterious “manifesting” going on here; just the simple and straightforward laws of the universe.

The universe is about growth.

It is abundant.

It likes creativity.

It sends more energy to those who lift up those around them.

It operates out of the principle of “like attracts like” so that those who are positive, happy and uplifting seem to accrue all the benefits; and those who are negative and downtrodden tend to attract “bad luck”; conversely, when someone who has previously had a terrible attitude is able to turn it around, they are able to experience a rapid and total shift in their “fortunes”.

There are unseen forces at work, operating as surely as the unseen but daily-felt law of gravity. We can feel the law of gratitude in operation just as surely as we feel the law of gravity.

And if we live our lives according to these unseen but strongly-felt laws, we will always travel in accordance with the prevailing stream of the Universal will, rather than trying to fight our way upstream. And our lives will fill with abundance.
