Don't Wait for the Money

It’s normal to put off things in life until you have the money to do them. But does it have to be that way?

Absolutely not!

Never wait until the money shows up or you’ll spend most of your time waiting. And while you wait, you’ll be thinking about the many things for which you are waiting. You’ll be filled with a feeling of longing. It’s not empowering.

You’ve got to make a decision to have what you want now. Then, the money will show up or you’ll be able to enjoy what you wanted in a way you hadn’t expected.

And you can enjoy what you have now, and be in eager anticipation for what is coming down the pipe.

There have been many times in my life when the money to travel was not present. Yet, my desire to travel was always burning. Once I learned that the Universe responds to my decisions, I made the decision to always find a way to travel. And I have.

Here are some of the ways I was supported in traveling without creating financial debt to do it:

Friends and family invited me to stay at their vacation homes.
When I made airplane reservations, I got unexpected deals.
I was upgraded in hotels and airline seats without even requesting it.
My mom shared her timeshare with me.
I created ideal trips to places where I had friends with whom I could stay.
I got new clients within a week of deciding to take a trip.
I found ways to experience my desire for adventure locally.

Once you make a decision to have whatever it is you want, the way to have it reveals itself quickly. Making a decision may seem a bit crazy when the money isn’t there, but it is exactly this process that brings the prosperity to you.

Yes, it takes faith that you will find a way to have what you want. The cool part is that you don’t always need to figure out how you’ll do it before you make the decision.

I remember deciding to buy my BMW M3. I didn’t have a clue how to come up with the down payment for the car, but I felt that the car was already mine when I left the dealership to think about a way to create the money. Within 24 hours I knew how to get the car and within a month I created the down payment from “nowhere.”

Up to that point in my life, I’d never created that much money in such a short time and so spontaneously. The decision to buy the car drew the money to me like bees to honey. It was easy. I wasn’t scared about finding a way to buy the car. I was simply excited to have the car.

Decisions are solid, unlike a wish. What do you need to make a decision about? Are you on the fence about an investment for your business? Waiting to buy a home? Need help with your website?

Make a move. What’s one small step you can take to say YES to the thing you’ve been waiting for?
