We can’t afford them all – or can we?

I was in a charity book shop this week. Breathing in the musty fumes, of old, forgotten books, relegated to a box in the loft, and now released again for a new life, when I heard a lady say…

“We can’t afford them all”

My ears pricked up like those of a dog hearing the rattle of their dinner bowl.

Upon further listening I hear a Mother talking to her maybe 4 year old daughter. (well I guess 4, I’m not good at judging these things)

“No you can’t have all these books, we can’t afford them all” gets repeated again

“Let me check how many pennies I have” says the lady, as all the money falls from her purse and clatters noisily to the floor.

So surely this is typical exchange? Surely this is the type of discussion we are having every day .

AND of course it’s not feasible to have ALL we want.

Or is it?

Make your dreams come true – How to remove the one simple block that is holding you back

dreams-doing-money-mindset

My good friend, Mr H, is a dreamer. I love him dearly for it…. The mansion house, the impeccable garden, the multiple holidays in the sun……..they will be wonderful. I love listening to these dreams, and adding my own extra layers of detail. I think dreams are important you see, and should be indulged, embellished, and made more and more detailed. Right down to the Hendricks Gin and Fever Tree Tonic, with ever so fresh cucumber, in a crystal tumbler feeling reassuring heavy in my hand, the ice chinking at the side, served to be me by my own personal butler wearing….(CUT, CUT It’s getting X RATED here!)

The difference between me and Mr H though is in the approach to DOING the dream…..

Crazy thought? Are you afraid of Money? How to know if it is this is the problem holding you back growing your business or earning more

Chrometophobia

So there is a word for it. An actual proper, Wikipedia says so, name for fear of money.

Now you must be shouting at me now, saying I’m having crazy thoughts, because surely we all want to have more money? Why else do we get up for work every day? (OK I’m sure there are more reasons just than money but go with me here, you know what I mean…)

So you are thinking that you want to make the next spot up in your sales team, grow your business so it not only employs you but someone else too, or you fancy that promotion at work with the swish corner office and a lady who brings you tea (whoops sorry back in a 1980’s power film there) …….

Trouble is each of these comes with more responsibility.

Responsibility – what does that mean?

Abundance & long sexy legs – 21 ways to upgrade your life for free

Why should you be bothered about abundance?

Ah yes abundance….I can hear you saying now, I’ve heard that word be banded around, like it’s the Saviour, like all we have to do is believe that abundance is there for us (like hey Santa, or the Tooth Fairy worked, right?) and open our arms wide and BOOM; we might even get our six lottery numbers in….

You cynical lot.

But it’s OK, I’m a cynic too.

I love to be nestled in the science of the squidgy old grey matter, looking at all those whizzy bits of electricity zooming along our superhighways. I’m not into saying the universe will just provide if we ask…..

But you know what I think this abundance thing, has some, sexy…. hot…..long……up to your armpit type legs…

And you my friend should be taking a good long look, and asking how you can work those legs too.

Now here’s my take on abundance, what it is and how abundant thinking can help you to create your wonderfully successful life and more.

Abundance – By working the mindset that more is possible, introducing the thought that you are bigger than your current situation, you start to think bigger, and attract bigger and better.
Abundance – By working the mindset that more is possible and giving yourself permission to do so you will know it is safe to want more, and you will attract more.
Abundance – By working the mindset that more is possible and that just because you have or want, that doesn’t mean someone else will be missing out. In fact the more you have the more you will be able to help others, you attract more.
Abundance – By working the mindset that says is your time and you are ready to step up and receive what else is there for you, you will attract more.

It’s hard to describe with just words how I feel about throwing your arms wide to receive more, so earlier today I did a Periscope to explain just that. Here is the replay!

(And if you don’t know what Periscope is then don’t worry, I surveyed my late thirty something friends the other day, and was met with a quizzical, uh??. It’s a new app owned by Twitter that allows you to live stream…. the replay will basically be like watching a You Tube, except because it is a recording of a live stream it’s a bit more raw…..so no editing, so you get all the um’s and hair twiddles! )

On the Scope I spoke about making small upgrades into your life, that don’t cost anything, that’s right not a bean! The benefit of making small upgrades in your life, is that it starts firing new neural pathways, which then start to upgrade your thinking. You feel more abundant and you start to apply that thinking to other areas of your life too.

Imagine the feeling of snuggling down in clean sheets, or walking along a woodland path. It’s totally do-able and deserve-able to have these feelings in all parts of your life.

So to get you started here is a bumper list of ideas for free upgrades to your life.

See how many you can tick off over the coming week and let me know in the comments how you got on. (And if you like this download you might like the other free downloads available on the free tools page)

I’m a big believer though in sharing my abundance with you and if you want to smash down your money walls, and live that successful life you have always dreamed off, well let’s talk (it’s free to talk) and see what we can do.

How to get your focus back & say goodbye to the overwhelm

We have the power to choose our response. Where we want to focus.

And it is that space that allows us to create and choose that response. Choose our focus.

But what if you are not sure where that space is right now? Do you ever feel that your running around, from here to there, and there is no space to even consider that response?

I’m guilty for taking on too much (what can I say I just love being out there with you guys….) and eek…I realise that I’m on autopilot (ever driven somewhere and don’t quite remember how?….Or is that just me). Remember that studies have found that only 2% of people are truly effective multitaskers.

But sometimes I realise that I have stopped taking a considered view of what would be most powerful for me to working on right now.

That sometimes is usually when I find myself snapping at my hubby, and hiding myself away – urgh…

One of the quick ways I assess how focused I am and where I need to focus my energy is to use this 3 question approach. It helps me put a number on where I am now, and measures the gap to where I want to be.
