Super late on this blog and I do not even have a great excuse.

Dipping back into Wallace Wattles reminds me about how important it is to only think about what we want, not what we do not want. Just like the mental diet.

I cannot believe that next week is the last webinar. I look forward to the continuation of the course throughout next September when we officially meet again.

The aspect about money for me is that my mom had none when I was a child. She was only 17 after all. Food stamps, powdered milk, government cheese. I am sure many of you have had a similar experience.

As I got old enough to do paper routes and do chores for money I knew I wanted more. I wasn’t the hardest worker growing up but I was a hustler. I figured out around 16 that you’ve got to work smarter and not harder.

I never had good influences in my life about money, but I now see that my desire to believe I would have it some day kept me going further and further up the money tree.

That generally has held me back from being very wealthy though. In my late teens and early twenties, I was able to earn enough money to always get what I needed with a little extra leftover but then I would stop building or stacking more when I should have. I was just grateful to be in as good a position as I was.

That same trend has burdened me over the last 23 years of being self-employed. I have had some very much up and downs income wise. More tough years than good but a couple good ones were great.

I missed out on Bitcoin, Amazon, Tesla, and many more but I did do great on selling our old and buying our new house in 2020. Investing later than I should have, waiting for the cash I did have stacked hoping to find the next opportunity.

Then I started “worrying” or being concerned about the future finances and frustrated that I didn’t do better than I had. Not because I want to buy more crap I missed the real security that I could already have at 52.

We have had a very rough 18 months with our business and lost more money than I care to admit but enough to set us back a couple of years. This was one of my driving factors to do the Master Key Experience (MKE) program again.

I knew from previous work that I have control with my thoughts and feelings as much as my actions. I was thinking incorrectly about our resources.

Since September I have been trying diligently to refocus on abundance and that we are going to turn the nose up and get back to the best we can be. I am thinking correctly again.

We usually pay $200-300k in taxes but because last year was so tough we are getting back for the first time in over a decade. That is 100% related to the MKE and I know that its going to continue!

Until Next Time…………
