How to grow your business when you

are dealing with fears around money

I’m writing this from my experience. You know, the time when I had ZERO in the bank

and mortgage was due the next day. And did I tell you about all the red bills flying

through the door at the same time? It got scary. I know what it takes to turn things

around and get your business, and finances, GROWING again. Right now my business

is DOUBLING each month, which I’m sure I don’t need to tell you is a super­fast growth

rate.

I don’t want you to waste your time, energy or emotions dealing

with fear around money. That’s why I’m sharing this with you

today.

First things first!

DON’T start your morning by filling it with money worries.

You can worry about your money later.

In fact, I recommend that you do all your worry at once and get it out of the way if you

MUST worry. Allocate 5 minutes and that’s IT! THAT’S your worry time. That’s all you

are allowed.

WORRY DOES NOT SERVE YOU AND IT WILL NOT HELP YOU. It’s a

waste of time and energy and it won’t grow the money in your bank!

I want you to start your day by getting into the most positive mindset you are able

to. You could do that by reading; I recommend success stories, rags to riches stories,

books about money. You could write about money, write about the mindset you are

going to have that day. Write about how much you want to make and how you are going

to make it. Map out a money plan, even if at the back of your mind you think it won’t

work, do it anyway. Get crazy with your money goals, go for WAY more than you think

is possible. Have FUN and dare to imagine it IS possible. How much do you want and

how are you going to create that amount of VALUE for other people; your clients? Do

whatever it takes to get yourself into a positive state of mind because, and this is SO

IMPORTANT, if you don’t believe you can have the money that you want, then you

won’t have it.

If money fears are in your life right now you must acknowledge that

this time you are going through is ONLY TEMPORARY!

Let’s talk about going out and getting money. Now I’m all for positive thinking about

money, and visualising it coming to you, and putting up vision boards and all that jazz,

but let’s talk about how money works.

By the way, bear in mind that this is more than enough money in the world for

you and me and for all of us! It’s not like there’s a limit on our capabilities, or a

limit on what we can have, or how much we can earn. It’s not like there isn’t

enough in the world for us to have what we want.

Now, let’s say you saw a $100 bill on the floor. And you want that $100. You could

REALLY REALLY do a LOT with that $100 right now. In fact, it could save you from

getting evicted, or the electricity being cut off. Now, with all the good will and positive

thinking in the world that $100 bill isn’t going to fly through the air and into your hands is

it? No, you have to take ACTION TO GET IT.

And that’s one of the ways that money works. You have to take action to get it and

you have to take action to get it AND you have to take action to get it NO MATTER

HOW YOU ARE FEELING THAT DAY!That’s why it’s so important to work on your

confidence and your mindset like I’ve outlined above

Every day I want you to take action that is going to get you closer to money. I want you

to bridge that gap. You are going to take action. Lots of action!

No matter how much fear you are feeling around money, fear has a

hell of hard time existing when you are taking action. There is no

place for it. You crowd out fear by taking action!

Take the action that will bridge the gap between you and money. And not just once, but

again and again. I want lots and lots of action that’s going to take you closer to money in

your bank account whilst all the while staying true to your reason for running your

business.
